No reduction of Proton Preve's price despite Honda Jazz competition

Proton Edar Sdn Bhd will not reduce the price of the Proton Preve just to compete with the Honda Jazz model, says Chief Executive Officer Hisham Othman.

He said Proton Edar was confident the model's retail price offered customers value-for-money.

"Proton Preve offers good value, given the fact that it is fitted with a 1.6 capacity turbo engine. If a car uses a turbo engine, that is equivalent to a car with a 2,000 cc engine," he told Bernama in a telephone interview Thursday.

Hisham said Proton Preve had an edge over other branded and expensive car models.

"If you notice, the Proton Preve has its own attributes like the electronic stability control which is not available in other models.

"This sort of component is only available in luxurious cars like the BMW and Mercedes but what's surprising here is that the Preve, a national car, comes equipped with this safety feature placing it at par with other international makes," he added.

Hisham also said there were several luxurious models in the market that did not have this safety feature but people still preferred them over others because they were brand conscious.

"The Preve offers value-for-money to the buyer, it is very safe and performed better than the Jazz as it has the Lotus' right handling which was designed by Lotus in London," he added.

Honda recently introduced a new completely-knocked-down Honda Jazz Petrol model with an on-the-road price, including insurance, of RM74,800 while the Proton Preve retailed for about RM73,000.

Proton Cars United Kingdom Continues To Increase Dealer Network

Proton Cars has continued its successful dealer recruitment drive and added a further seven

 dealerships to the network in the third quarter, giving the company a total of 23 new

 recruits so far this year.

Simon Park, General Manager of Sales and Marketing, is very pleased with the positive results: 

"Our sales success this year and commitment to dealers is making Proton an attractive proposition to dealers across the country. The success of the Savvy since its launch in January and the new Satria due in 2007 has and will continue to enhance our product range. Our proven success in customer service to both dealers and customers is paying dividends for everyone."

Mr Nigel Binks, Partner at new Proton dealer Pennine Way said:

 "As soon as we decided we wanted to become a franchised dealer, we spoke to a number of people and attended the Dealer Drive day at Millbrook where we met with the Proton representatives and had the chance to see the product. Everything is very straightforward with Proton and there was no hidden agenda, which was very important to us. Having a model that is under £6,000 on the range is great and I think the Savvy is a fantastic car. Proton tick all the boxes for us, we have had a good October and are looking forward to a bright future."

With car sales up more than 58% year to date and Proton's dealer recruitment campaign bearing fruit, 2006 tells a positive story. Having exceeded the total car sales for 2005 in early September and with increases month on month in 2006, the introduction of the new Satria in 2007 can only improve performance still further.

Continuing the good news, the 34 th biannual survey of franchised dealers' views, conducted by the National Franchised Dealers Association, showed the improvements Proton has made in communication and relationship building with its dealer network.

Proton was voted top out of 32 manufacturers in 11 of the areas, coming second in a further five areas, third place in two questions and fourth place in another three.

BUYER'S GUIDE

BY BILL KHAIRI | JUNE 15, 2013

List of Proton car models

Model	Production	Info
Proton Saga	1985–2008	Proton Saga (known as the MPi in the UK) was the first Proton model. It rolled off the Shah Alam assembly line for the first time in September 1985. The 100,000th Proton Saga was produced in January 1989.
Proton Wira	1993–2007	Proton Wira was, and still is, very popular in Malaysia. It is almost identical apart from some trunk lid and tail light design to the 1992 Mitsubishi Lancer The word Wira translates into English as "Hero" but instead of using this as the name in English-speaking countries, Proton chose to use the word Persona. The wira has variant models such as 1.3GLi A/M, 1.5GLi A/M, 1.6XLi A/M, 1.8XLi A/M and 2.0D M. Only the 1.8XLi Auto is marketed in the English-speaking country at first known as Persona. Persona is a hatch back model. However, from about 2001 onwards, the car has been sold as the Wira in the United Kingdom
Proton Satria	1995–2006	Proton Satria (also called the Proton Compact in the UK) is a sporty 3-door hatchback based on the Mitsubishi Mirage / Mitsubishi Colt. Proton gained a lot of valuable engineering knowledge from its takeover of Lotus which ultimately led to a special Lotus badged version of the Satria being produced. Proton Satria GTi is a 3-door sports hatchback. This was Proton's entry in the sport performance hatchback market. The Satria GTi is popular in Malaysia and has a large following in Australia. It is powered by a 4-cylinder 1,800 cc DOHC engine and featured Lotus-tuned suspension. Proton Satria R3 is a limited edition road-legal race-spec Satria with only 150 units in production. It features a double seam-welded lightened chassis and a tweaked engine with more aggressive cam timing. Proton Satria SE is the last batch of Proton Satrias to roll out. Featuring Proton Arena sports rims and grille, and many extras in the interior similar to the Proton Wira SE, this would be the last of the Satrias before the long-awaited SRM (Satria Replacement Model) rolls out.
Proton Putra	1995–2000	Proton Putra (also sold in the United Kingdom and Australia as the Proton Coupe or Proton M21) is a 2-door sporty coupe based on theMitsubishi Mirage. Considered by many as one of the better-looking of the Mitsubishi-based models, the Putra was well received and commands good secondhand value.
Proton Perdana	1995–1998	Proton Perdana, based on the Mitsubishi Eterna, was first produced in 1995, and was intended for the higher-end market.
Proton Tiara	1996–2000	Proton Tiara was a supermini-class 5-door compact car based on the Citroën AX. It was built under license from PSA Peugeot Citroën by Proton from 1996 to 2000. The Tiara was powered by a 1.1L engine and featured a different grille, tail lights and bumpers than the Citroën AX. Its successor is the Proton Savvy.
Proton Perdana V6	1999–2010	Proton Perdana V6 was a facelifted version of the Perdana, featuring a more powerful V6 engine and new front and rear look. It was later facelifted to include the Alfa-Romeo–inspired grille that earned it the nickname Alfa-dana among enthusiasts.
Proton Juara	2001–2003	Proton Juara was a microvan based on the Mitsubishi Town Box Wide. This model was the first batch being totally CKD models from Japan. The external appearance of the car, which was a modification of the original Town Box, was not popular with the Malaysian market and suffered poor sales. The Proton Juara was very economical in fuel consumption and was very versatile. It is also one of the best-equipped Mitsubishi-based models offered from Proton. However, it has been criticized for looking like a washing machine.
Proton Waja	2000–2011	Proton Waja (Proton Impian in Europe) is the first Proton to be designed and styled in-house. However, the car's chassis and engine were sourced and adapted from Mitsubishi (except for the 1,800 cc variant, which was powered by a Renault engine). The word Waja translates into English as "steel" while Impian translates into "dreams" or "ambition". The name Impian was chosen as it was considered to be a more pleasant sounding word for the international market. In January 2006, the car was fitted with a CamPro engine which has been re-tuned to boost the horsepower to 86 kW (115 bhp) and 155 N-m of torque. This made it go full-circle, as the CamPro was originally developed for the Waja, but was deemed not ready for production when the Waja was launched, hence debuting in the Proton Gen-2. The facelifted 2007 Proton Waja was launched on 19 January 2007 with the new grille nearly identical to the Proton Savvy. The Proton Waja was initially marketed as a premium product in some markets, but the actual product proved unconvincing, and the ill-judged marketing ploy was quickly dropped. The Waja was also released as the Proton Chancellor in late 2005, a variant for the executive market with a 250mm wheelbase stretch and luxury fittings and accessories, including a space-robbing rear centre console that restricted seating to four persons. It was fitted with powertrain from the Proton Perdana V6. With a selling price of about twice that of a Waja, the Chancellor is a very rare sight on Malaysian roads. Proton Waja R3 MME Edition
Proton Arena	2002–2011	Proton Arena (called Proton Jumbuck in the United Kingdom and Australia), a coupe utility vehicle. Based on the Wira platform, Proton engineers managed to develop a vehicle that would cater for those who have an active lifestyle and also those who need a small and economical utility vehicle as opposed to a commercial truck. 1200 units were sold in Australia in its first year. The Arena comes in 3 bodystyles.
Proton Gen-2	2004–2011	Proton Gen-2 is the first fully Malaysian-developed (including chassis and engine) Proton car and the replacement model for the Proton Wira; launched on February 8, 2004. Proton still continued to sell the Wira after the Gen.2 was launched, due primarily to the popularity of sedan/saloon vehicles in the target market. The Gen.2, a hatchback design, is considered by many to be the best-looking Proton. It has a minimalist and modern interior with design cues from the Lotus subsidiary. However, very low quality of materials and fit and finish of interior components seriously hurt the public's perception of the quality of the vehicle at launch. Later models used improved quality materials and assistance from the TUV of Germany to help maintain the quality improvements. The Gen.2 was the first Proton to receive the (inappropriately) named CamPro engine, which at launch was widely criticised for the lack of low- to mid-range torque (pulling power), due to a late decision to drop Camshaft Profiling from the engine feature-list in production models. Attempts to improve this torque deficit by adjusting ECU parameters have largely been unsuccessful. Published engine torque curves still show a pronounced dip in torque output in the crucial 2000-3000 RPM engine speed region, presumably due to the missing engine feature. The version with Campro CPS engine was previewed during the 24th Thailand International Motor Expo 2007 in Bangkok. The Proton Gen-2 was also released in the form of three other variants: Proton Gen-2 R3 MME Edition Proton Gen-2 EVE Hybrid, a hybrid concept version of the Gen-2, revealed during the 2007 Geneva Auto Show. It retains the S45MPH Campro engine coupled together with a 30 kW, 144 V electric motor. Proton Gen-2 Ecologic, a dual fuel (petrol/lpg) conversion done by proton at no cost extra.
Proton Savvy	2005–2010	The Proton Savvy was launched on June 8, 2005. The 1,200 cc 5-door supermini car. The car is fitted with an engine and a gearbox sourced fromRenault. In an official on-road test made by Proton in mid-2006, Proton Savvy recorded the fuel consumption rate of about 24 km/L at constant speed of 90 km/h (or about RM0.08/km of fuel), making the car as the most fuel-efficient Malaysian car as verified by Malaysian Book of Records. Even with very good fuel efficiency the car maintenance were reportly to be very high even surpassing the Proton Waja. This because of the use of the European Renault engine. Proton Savvy R3 Zerokit was based on the Proton Savvy R3 prototype and could be added to a Savvy purchase for an additional RM3000. It featured a roof spoiler, front and rear lips and side skirting.
Proton Satria Neo	2006–Present	Proton Satria Neo is the replacement model of the previous Satria variants, using all-new design, chassis and powerplant. Launched on 16 June 2006, the Satria Neo is available in 1.6L and 1.3L variants, where both variants are powered by Campro engine.
Proton Persona	2007–2010	Proton Persona was launched on 15 August 2007. The 1.6 liter sedan is based on the Proton Gen-2 and features a sedan body instead of the Gen-2's hatchback body. It retains the same 82 kW Campro engine. The Persona is rebadged as the Proton Gen-2 Persona in the UK market. The name Persona was also originally used in English-speaking countries for the Wira.
Proton Saga	2008–Present	Proton Saga is an indigenous design, designed to outperform and outengineer the old Saga compact sedan and aeroback in every way. Its bodywork is essentially based on a stretched Proton Savvy. The new model is an in-house design developed in collaboration with Korea's LG CNS and Lotus Engineering. This model enables the Malaysian company play to its strength in the home market i.e. three-box sedan. The Proton Saga is not planned for U.S. launch but will be sold throughout Southeast Asia, in China, India and Australia.
Proton Exora	2009–Present	Proton Exora was launched on 15 April 2009. It is powered by the 1.6L Campro CPS I4 engine producing 125 horsepower and 150Nm of torque, resulting in a top speed of 165 km/h (103 mph) and an average fuel consumption of 7.2 L/100 km (39 mpg-imp; 33 mpg-US).The Exora will feature a Body Control module which allows automatic activation and configuration of various vehicle functions such as door locking/unlocking, interior lamps, headlamps, brake lamps and wipers. The result has been announced on 17 February 2009. The name Proton Exora",was picked from the Name The Proton MPV competition grand prize winner Norsholihan Bt Abdul Eanich. Some says that it was taken from the name of a flower, (Ixora) but according to competition termss and conditions the name should not based on any kind of flowers, animals etc.[3]
Proton Inspira	2010–Present	Proton Inspira,[4] or previously referred to as Proton New Sedan,[5] or codenamed P3-90A[6] is an automobile produced by Proton as the successor to the Proton Waja. The Compact car is essentially a rebadged 9th generation (and current) Mitsubishi Lancer.
