This time CVT for you to prevent total lost.

They no dare to show the wheels..that tiny wheels..

They more not dare to show the rear 1/3 view and direct rear view. Hatch->Sedan usually looks awkward + Proton famous ugly rear-ends... waiting... hopefully is a positive surprise.

Agree. Like the ugly pug 206 sedan.

My expectation is quite high when proton want to make sedan version from Iriz. At least they can design like polo sedan@vento. I know it is tough task for designer and engineering dept. to transform the body and system. This persona might be look awkward like fiesta sedan.

BTW, I will test drive to compare with my iriz since they tuned something to get better respond from punch CVT. And also they said, NVH is improve compare to Iriz, but then, I still not expect to much. (ayat sedapkan hati)

Not only will kill bezza but also cannibalize proton saga market..

the pricing & spec idea for proton vs perodua don works out now, that's y tun also don know why ppl still don buy proton

juz like first kick: persona SV RM48k, that time also ppl said can straight tabao myvi 50k already, then the result?

iriz came out, ppl said spec can tabao myvi already, then again...

bezza is not very promising honestly but it also juz 1st attempt by p2 in sedan, but juz like what it sound 'to be beza', ppl who wants p2 japan engine affordable sedan car also would still continue go for it. end of the year would see the same result again.

"My only gripe though is that the 15-inch alloy wheels look severely under-specified for the overall design of the new Persona, which apart from that, I must say is quite good. The 15-inch alloys on all the variants actually look quite ridiculous, and obviously one of the first things buyers will do is head to the nearest rim shop for a bigger set of alloys."

I see. No wonder la the wheel look small. Aiya at least put la 185/60 or 185/65 for 15" like vios and almera. Or 175/65 like city if they want achieve low fc.

Agreed. The rims for persona not nice as 15" iriz with dual tone.

Hopefully they do recalibration of the TCU and ECU ,
as 185 size is 1.8% smaller (better acceleration time 0-100km/h ,but lower top speed).

Pity they don't offer the manual trans for executive/premium, can I special order for this kind of thing?

if no manual i confirm wont touch it

=edit=
what makes you think a cvt is safe anyways? i almost crashed while test driving the cvt iriz while cornering at kl sentral ring with screeching tires and ESP blinking.

lol



Anyway the rear end is still ok. Just the wheel and the wheel-arch section made the wheel looks small like having kancil wheels but 15".

More pics

I hope this is not the premium version......

Pics is Executive CVT....Premium has 15-inch wheels in silver colour and Black B-pillars.

Personally I think they Pandan the ecu
Bezza has a Pandan ecu that never allowed pipu to redline
So NHV is quite good

Win some lose some.

so this new persona falls under what category? A or B Segment? quite small which only bigger a bit compare bezza..
hopefully better CVT gbx..

Side profile so kek
