Proton 3-21A- Arriving Soon

Analysts were given opportunity to testdrive Proton's P3-21A 1.6L or better known as Persona Replacement model We were impressed by P3-21A performances, showing great improvements ascompared to previous Proton's model.

Great efforts were being put into thesafety features of P3-21A in meeting ECE safety requirements.
P3-21A is targeted towards medium to highincome group.

The development cost of P3-21A is relatively low atRM300m for it uses the existing platform and engine from Exora. Hence, weexpect the car to garner higher margins.

i see many problems with this article
1. analyst?...what analyst?...
2. "better known as persona replacement?...proton already say its NOT a persona replacement
3. "targeting medium to high income group"?....waja/inspira/perdana is the one targetting high income group...proton never target high income group yet...more to low-medium income group

The target market is quite right. It base on car price. Not Proton as the brand for low-medium income group.

Other details such as Persona replacement or not, it is not an isssue. It was initially a Persona-R then it come into new category as global car.

I gather those analysts have to do with the stock market or the financial sector, since the article is from an investment website.

P321A test drive. We test drove the upcoming new C segment sedancodenamed P321A, which will replace the Proton Persona, last Friday. The newmodel is expected to be launched in April 2012 and will be priced slightlyhigher than the existing Persona model. We understand that it is a familysedan, targeting married male in the late 20s to 40s who are looking for anadditional car and a replacement car, as well as targeting medium to highhousehold income of RM5,000 to RM8,000 per month. In addition, Proton is alsotargeting single young professionals or executives who prefer sporty andperformance cars with the P321A.

The features. The P321A has an enhanced safety feature withfour airbags. Apart from that, its body frame has also been strengthened via aprocess called Hot Press Forming (HPF).This new high technology process is the first in Malaysia and South East Asia.The car can withstand a force of 1,500 mega Pascal. On the engine part, itcomes with a 1.6L Charged Fuel Efficiency (CFE) engine, which can beturbocharged to match 1.8L to 2.0L performance.Together with the engine, it has the Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT)technology which allows the car to change gear ratios seamlessly, eliminatingtransmission shock and facilitating a greater responsiveness and a smoothconsistent power delivery. The car also offers three driving modes namelyeconomy mode, sport mode and SAT mode to suit the driver's preference and feel.

Worth buying? Althoughthe price of the P321A is slightly more expensive, its new features such as the1.6L turbo engine, stronger body frame via HPF, shift lever with tiptronicmodeand paddle shifteras well as its spacious 508L boot space that can normally be foundin higher range cars. Therefore, it is likely to appeal to both family andyoung car buyers alike in our view. We,in fact, expect better sales for Protonfrom the P321A with its new enhanced features and we believe its lower pricetag comparatively may hive off some market shares from its fellow competitorsin the segment (such as Vios and City).

People from financial and investor test drove the car already.

omg, so many typo error (space missing between words) there.

We are so used on spending half of our salary on cars which is not very wise.

Sorry to ask, a C segment car is approximately the size of what car? Honda City? Vios?

+1

The amount % of income Malaysian are spending on cars is beyond funny.

C segment = forte, civic, lancer, Mazda 3,

ya, dam true... even single.. better to save d moneh for some investment

inspira

Yes inspira too

obviously the analyst that wrote that piece doesn't know anything about cars

thats why they're not call car critics...they're call analyst for a reason..haha
i've the same feeling too
they dn't know how to "properly" test a car

I can say that P3-21A is the reboot of Proton as the organization itself. We may see Tuah as concept and that is the direction of future P3-21A successor.
