LOCAL carmaker Proton introduced four new Special Edition models for the Persona, Exora, Iriz and Saga models, adding a little kick to the old designs.
As the name suggests, the Persona and Exora Black Editions are presented in black with gold accents subtly accentuating the bumpers and alloy wheels, featuring black leatherette seats, door trimps and floor console. While the Persona gets the black treatment for the headlining, the Exora is fitted with an overhead monitor.
While style and luxury are the main thrusts of the Black Edition models, the Proton Iriz and Saga R3 Limited Edition celebrate PROTON’s successful motorsports division.
Each car is painted black and adorned with the distinctive R3 livery used on PROTON’s race cars. The Iriz is equipped with 16-inch R3 alloy wheels while the Saga is equipped with 15-inch alloy wheels with matte grey finish.
The sporty R3 body kit completes the outer changes while inside, a unique black-yellow interior, leatherette seats and R3 carpet mats create a distinctive ambiance with sporty appeal.
On-the-road prices without insurance for the Proton Special Edition models are:
- Proton Saga R3 Limited Edition: RM42,300
- Proton Iriz R3 Limited Edition: RM52,900
- Proton Persona Black Edition: RM54,700
- Proton Exora Black Edition: RM67,800
“These are products manufactured locally, targeted to Malaysian car buyers and are reminders that Proton is and always will be a ‘full-service’ car manufacturer with the ability to design, develop and build our own cars from a clean sheet of paper,” said Proton Edar CEO Roslan Abdullah. – Feb 18, 2021
