Can you guys tell what is the pros and cons of this car?
*
pro
the best handling car for B segment in our country with this price (same level as the famous swift but suzuki no longer sell cars in malaysia)
the best safety car for B segment in our country with this price (more sturdy than most car in malaysia, even critics still praise its more sturdier than new myvi)

con
boot space too small (smaller than axia but bigger than viva)
not fuel efficient enough (competitor already release EEV cars)

Finally some HD shots of the front and rear.

Pretty significant front end conversion. Fingers crossed the feature set matches the Myvi with LED headlights, smart tag reader, new infotainment system, keyless entry/start and 6 airbags on all specs as well as all other things including the ones that were removed from the last update.

Whether these updates extend to the powertrain remains to be seen but the Exora facelift back in 2011 did have a new engine in addition to new looks so that'll be left as a possibility.

i don't think all spec got 6 airbag because if they include it, nobody gonna buy executive or even premium variant. i can see proton will put 4 airbag for standard and executive variant. another thing we hope is a new GDI engine and new CVT, this can help this car boost sales. new 1.5 GDI engine with new CVT from geely are much more appreciated. if they still stick with VVT engine and old cvt, only few will buy this.

See the review, the cvt drowning sounds still there. Basically the same punch unit.

Proton still no ball to drop that brand/model all together from new 2019 model.

proton keep playing safe for themself rather than total facelift the whole iriz. what they should do

1)use geely CVT
2)increase the width like persona size or make the roof lower (the first choice is much more cheaper)
3)change the position for rear lamp from vertical to horizontal like EMAS concept
4)better use geely engine (although geely engine also drain petrol, but it has better HP and torque)

and last and not least make it 4 airbag for standard and executive variant

this is what customer want, not MC2 MC3 until it died like savvy did. remember, nissan almera also the same thing with few changes thus only nissan fan will bought that car.
