Proton Preve has been developed in accordance with global standards of quality and safety which, in combination with its competitive price, makes it a truly attractive car to own," he said.
Proton has described the turbocharged Preve (meaning 'to prove') as its most technologically-advanced vehicle to date.
The 1.6 Charged Fuel Efficiency (CFE) engine is Proton's first turbocharged engine with an economical 6.6 litre/100km fuel consumption and 10,000km service interval.
The Prevé will replace the Persona in Proton Australia’s line-up in September, although it promises to be larger and significantly better equipped.
At 4543mm long, 1786mm wide, 1524mm tall and with a wheelbase of 2650mm, the Prevé has similar external dimensions to the Mazda3 sedan, and a 508-litre boot will give it one of the largest cargo capacities in its class.
The top-spec Prevé GXR will be powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine that produces 103kW of power (at 5000rpm) and 205Nm of torque (2000-4000rpm) – a considerable increase from the outgoing 82kW/148Nm motor in the Persona. Fuel consumption is rated at 6.5 litres per 100km according to the Malaysian specification sheet, while the sprint from 0-100km/h takes 9.6 seconds.
The entry-level Prevé GX will get an 80kW/150Nm naturally aspirated version of the powerplant, which uses 5.8-6.1L/100km and takes 12.0-12.5 seconds to hit triple figures.
Malaysian specification sheet, the GX will get front fog lamps, USB/iPod/Bluetooth connectivity and steering wheel audio controls, while the GXR will add auto headlights and wipers, leather-wrapped steering wheel, paddle shifters, climate control, cruise control and push-button start.
