The Proton Preve could receive an update soon, according to these photos sent in to us by paultan.org reader Ahnaf Satari. Much like the Iriz and Exora, the Preve will likely see revisions to its aesthetics as well as its equipment list.
Based on these photos, it appears one of those changes will include a new five twin-spoke design for the alloy wheels, which also appear larger (possibly 17 inches on the red car). Currently, 16-inch units are fitted to all three 1.6L variants – Executive MT, Executive CVT and Premium CVT – on sale now.
Our source also revealed one of the cars featured a black-painted roof (for a two-tone look), which is something you’ll also find on the latest Iriz and Exora. On the mention of colour, new exterior body finishes like Ruby Red could be among the new additions to the sedan’s colour palette.
Other improvements for the Preve will likely involve noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) upgrades, which were also introduced to the Iriz and Exora. It was also reported in August last year that the CamPro IAFM (Intake Air-Fuel Module) engine on the Preve will be discontinued, leaving buyers with just the option of the 1.6 litre turbocharged CFE engine, like the Exora.
