Proton Gen-2

Quick Review of Proton Gen-2
If this is not the choice of the hand, makes the Proton GEN-2 is a very good bet that you are using a modern, almost new Hatch and resources are scarce. In most cases this means the reduction of things such as a proton Nissan Micra, but in five large doors very attractive for the license. Cheap and cheerful still been well.
The next generation
Proton is a company with one or two aces up his sleeve. And removal of the Lotus brand, she began to develop the car in surprisingly good governance. The proton Impiana is the first and raised eyebrow Street really crispy their ability, but he is too conservative and a little time to reach a broad audience. The Malaysian-based company in 2004, when he GEN-2 hatchback. With a modern chassis and the Impiana is a vehicle without apology. Economically first gene-2-nets a lot of car for the money.
History of the Gen-2
While the previous models bought by Proton, the design and construction of other companies, is the GEN-2 is a big project at home, building on success. The chassis is fitted with the car on Impiana a good start. The Impiana is one of the best handling sedans and compact size, the transfer of GEN-2, a goal that sent squatly the wheel in each corner. Claims in detail a number of good judges of contemporary sculptures projector units, bold design of doors and windows Dealers Cut line. First came in May, September 2004, the GEN-2 will receive criticism that many commentators worried that the car around a proton in a variety of new list of buyers of vehicles. Next is good, but there remains the residual power of the card. It will change soon if the proton to the improvement of these materials rate. Proton inside and selection of leather seats in the spring of 2007 updates. Changes in design alloy wheels also time. GEN-2 saloon personalized version was published in spring 2008.
Proton Gen-2: Test
Although the GEN-2 is likely to sell on the basis of performance and value proposition, more attention than the car. Proton is now 100 percent of Lotus and they want a return on investment. Quick spirit and direction of a warning, Lotus are trademarks and the GEN-2 is not lacking in that department. Factor in a corner without a frame, as many companies or curl, and you have one, more than enough for most readers. Minority Rights in May to say something more than the engine, the track and hold. The trip is over and easily over the shaft more suppressed. There only two petrol engines available - from 1.3 and 1.6-liter size - not too bad swim and D units more. The 1.6-liter 110bhp Campro was developed in collaboration with Lotus and develops reasonable pair of middle and upper market, but you need a gearbox to make progress at a low speed. Fortunately, it is not too difficult to box is a standard black. The 1.6-liter GEN-2 will cover the sprint to 60 miles per hour pause in seconds 12 / 6 and switch to a top speed of 118 km / h in a joint use of 39.2mpg and CO2 emissions of only 169 g / km are also competitive.

Proton Saga EV Concept

Proton a preview of all electric version of the Proton Saga sedan University Putra Malaysia, Serdang during proton Exora - Making "seminar organized by SAE International earlier this week." Proton "is definitely a name of understanding the car! One might expect that this plug -in electric vehicles co-development of the Detroit Electric, which is an agreement for electric vehicles, has produced the Proton GEN, 2 protons and personalities for some d-overseas market in Detroit Electric brand. But instead, what you see above is a project done at home with the help of unnamed suppliers and partners.

This means that, unlike the Detroit Electric E46, ((based on Proton Gen 2) and Detroit Electric E63 based on the character of protons), the (officially, the Proton Saga Power Association Green function approach for now) expected to return for the local market, although car manufacturers was very gentle about the possible launch date. Can last for years.
Emission-Proton Saga EV display comes with a 168hp (125kW) electric motor, brushless DC, coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission. This is a 20kWh Polymer rechargeable lithium-ion (12 separate batteries stored in the trunk). Since the battery is almost non-existent space truck, but it is normal that created the concept of electric cars on a chassis originally based for a regular internal combustion engine and fuel tank. A passenger car production in mind should be more careful next to the batteries.

According to Proton Saga EV can go 0-100 km / h in 10.1 seconds, a top speed of 161 km / h with a range of 109 miles on a full charge. Both the Detroit Electric E46 and E63 will be a 150 kW motor axial magnetic flux instead of belonging.

There's more! The Green "mobile" is also re-generative braking and main power, in addition to the packaging integrated pan-management system (BCMU), a plug-in charger (with a wall outlet) of air and an In-Vehicle screen display shows various information about the features of electric vehicles. Sources also announced that Proton has plans to build an electric minivan Exora, and is currently working on some hybrid vehicles, and for research and development.

Since the proton has taken the trouble to produce a fully functional Saga EV concept, I know that this is a matter of time until we actually see the proton produced electric cars in the street, but will continue to reduce emissions not only vehicles. If an infrastructure ready outside, this is involved in something the government to support private outside the sector.

Proton Satria Gemilang

Car was unveiled to the public on the evening of Merdeka, but it is less the press. Really very unhappy. So here I am, giving you a personal account in the development of this unique vehicle.

This project is a whirlwind of work done specifically for the Merdeka celebration. To take from beginning to finished product, about 2 months total. Know which building is a fast-track approach incorporates ideas somewhere between the 'house designs something "in" house-prototyping-the-parts now! Based on the Proton Satria Neo Hot Hatch, the idea is to showcase what better way to unexpected and to extend a 3-door in a limousine. record time. And the trip by Prime Minister on this issue.

One of the biggest challenges of this project is that it is roadworthy. But to emulate the boys really useful skills and have their work done on time. All development is done on-site protons with the help of a local consultant for the interior. Proud to say the least. To 31 August is gone, expect to make the car over several rounds of advertising and perhaps at the end as a permanent exhibition or something, when someone asked him ...

I must congratulate my Adiey designers put in his heart and soul into this project and making it a reality. Good time management and presentation.

Proton Satria GTi Turbo

Proton Perdana

The Proton Perdana is a medium-class vehicle with protons. It is a badge designed version of the seventh generation of Mitsubishi Eternal.

The Perdana was first introduced by Proton in 1995 with proven 2.0L Mitsubishi 4G63 engine. It is on the platform, Mitsubishi Galant and therefore similar to Eterna Mitsubishi in Japan, but received minor internal and external of its launch site in Malaysia. The first generation Perdana is also offering the first Proton car anti-lock braking system (ABS) and cruise control.
In 1997, the Perdana a facelift with chrome grille, new wheel designs have undergone a new color options and trim upgrades inside.

In 1999, a proton 2.0 L 6A12 V6 engine forced (also Mitsubishi origin) in the Perdana. Called Proton Perdana V6 also had a new body kit and 16 "rims. The original Perdana Malaysia consistently voted for a while before it was abandoned. The Lotus and upgraded landing gear, the car behaves well on tight turns and a good high-speed cruise.

In 2003, the Perdana V6 has undergone a major facelift, with a new Alfa Romeo-esque front grill (the nickname of "Alfadana" in Malaysia) and the new bumper. Inside, he got a new aluminum trim effect. Iteration is effective immediately. Also available is a luxury of another Proton Perdana V6 with an extended length of 25 cm (10 inches) behind the door when the Proton Perdana V6 Executive. The executive branch is essentially a conversion Perdana V6 conversion of Automotive Engineering (ACE), a subsidiary of thousands of years, specializing in the development of limousines for the statesmen and TD2000s building.

Perdana as the original, the Perdana V6 is not exported to Europe, although it will be reviewed by the British magazine Top Gear, in its April 1999, as planned in time to sell the V6 in Europe. The plan was never implemented.

As a rapprochement between the protons and Volkswagen will be discussed in the period 2004-2007, is planned successor to the Perdana is based on a platform based Volkswagen Passat. However, the plan was canceled when Volkswagen announced that the negotiations failed with the partnership.

Proton Waja converted to Mitsubishi Evolution 10

Proton WAJA owners to their cars to a Mitsubishi Evolution. He leaves in May on the importance of control over the owners themselves and, in fact, it's their car and their freedom to do so. Here we offer an introduction to the Proton WAJA species, such as after conversion to Mitsubishi Evolution 10, but still the basic Campro engine 1.6. The body changed from Rozar team.

Total effort is made to the Proton WAJA to do almost as well as Mitsubishi Evolution 10th

We have seen this kind of body is in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, and a few days ago. Some WAJA owner 18 inch rim evolving body, spoiler, big exzos its hilarious system, Brembo front and rear disc brakes. But it is certainly surprising to see how Malaysia Design body kit, creativity shown in Proton owners. Tell us what you think.

Proton Waja CPS 1.6

The Proton WAJA CPS 1.6 is not fully a new model that begins with a series of facelift. It's still about the same car with a new engine and a few new features compared to earlier versions.

The newspaper writes about cars like this, a few months after his appearance on the showroom details in the car from factory figures. We finally have our hands on one recently.

Read our reports WAJA CPS after the jump.

We are delighted with the Mitsubishi 4G18 powered the first round of Waja followed by S4PH Campro engine which WAJA in the 2006th Well, the latest reincarnation of the WAJA, we are new Campro CPS engine 1.6.

At first glance, the car is always the same on the outside, but the first album was promising. The study came to a manual gearbox units, although we expect an automatic version - let's face it, are ideal, given the traffic situation in the cities, but the car lived up to expectations.

With the CPS system now with Campro engine, we decided to try the WAJA CPS, if the new engine performance figures really. The car was in Senawang - Tampin - Segamat road, offers a joking spirit. Many curves and straights, so some sprints.

The main differences in the CPS are smooth driving and react with the 13 percent increase performance. The CPS is a totally different engine compared to the Campro S4PH, it is aggressive, when you need it. The CPS engine to 125hp at 6500 rpm and 150nm torque at 4500 rpm. Although the torque peaks at 150nm at 4500 rpm, there is plenty of torque available throughout the group.

The previous Campro is low at low speeds and the engine of the rule, the U-Engine to swing higher. Sometimes you have to 3rd Gear in a manual Campro only a slow vehicle in front.

Not the CPS - it went without any effort on the fourth speed. The SPC is a particular pleasure to work with better acceleration, the third, fourth and fifth in the engine 2500 - 4500 rpm engine speed. There is no downside driving easier coasts. This shows that the Proton engineers have an enormous amount of work to improve the engine.

Another interesting fact that we noticed the engine speed to a cruising speed. The CPS allows the engine at 2000 rpm with a cruise speed of 80 km / h at around 3000 rpm at 110 km / h. It's like a cruising speed of most cars 2.0 liters, with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. Smaller engines tend 2700rpm to cruise around 80 km / h Low engine is beneficial because it improves fuel economy
and convenience.

With a complaint that we have the CPS engine. It works like the way you are using a modern 1.6 liter engine, but sometimes the engine lost power, what seems to be random events, at first, but ultimately we decided that the wheels are significantly reduced, far, more than one type of vehicle each time the air conditioning compressor kick in. I'm not sure what kind of air conditioning Campro with all these uses, or perhaps it is wiring problem or a compressor inside, but we noticed it on all Campro / Campro IAFM and Campro CPS cars that we have.

Proton to start sales push

Proton has undergone a major change and is aiming to triple its Australian sales within the next two years.

The manufacturer of the cars in Malaysia is now on the education and revival of the pricing policy, a new model, as well as entry-level price variations of existing lines into the Australian market.

The company, the introduction of what it claims in Australia is the cheapest sedan, which is now happening in October this year instead of early next year. Through a sub-$ 13,000 price tag

Proton Cars Australia managing director John startar, says the car following process is at the beginning, and he will not delay the development of new products. "We offer a four-door, where many three-door - say, the buyer, if they are more for less, perhaps to a limousine, when the price is correct."

"At first, we get the manual version 1.6, early next year, we have other variations in automatic and manual, with 1.3-liter engine - engine Campro to 1.6.

Startar said the new entry-level model for the Satria Neo, Gen2 and personality will be here shortly before the end of the year, to a large part of the strategy to increase sales.

"Our goal to triple our turnover within two years, after a sharp increase in the areas of marketing, the introduction of a range of prices - we see volume growth in the bottom," he says.

Brand and the network have two major problems score - a startar aims, under the new plan. "Our dealer network has significant changes, we parted company with 17 of the 41 dealers with respect to each other, we went to them with our infrastructure is needed, if necessary, an investment of their hands, which don 't want to be committed to his work .

"We have recruited seven new distributors in the last two months we have accelerated, because the car is faster arrival - we will be 50 dealers by the end of 2011 the national level.

"We parted with almost half of our network, we are ... things must change, and the last 18 months has been dramatic changes, I am not saying that this is the last throw, but things needed to change". Startar said the review was in error in his direct customer approach and needs to make its point of view of consumers.

"We face a problem of conscience, we must sell 4000-5000 year, we have sought and found, for whatever reason - not outside the normal - to the end of the day, he came back to consciousness - people ... if they do not know us, they fear, because there are other brands more visible, he said.

Proton has recruited a number of new dealers, and they said they were also other brands with low prices, but do not want the risks associated with labels that do not have a record in Australia. "With a number of Chinese brands on the market, as well as Japanese and Korean brands increasingly small number of vehicles, Proton sees its strength in its 15-year presence in the market.

Startar said that the Australian arm of the four-year action plan has the support of the factory. "The system knows that it will be difficult, initially the market has changed, but the basis for our business is solid, and we believe we can do this," he says.

"It is clear that there are new low-cost brands on the market in the coming months, but the strength lies in the proton has been on the market for almost 15 years and is a plant on the farm full back - our parent company in Malaysia.

Products, pricing and marketing has been the tremendous increase in support from our parent company, to ensure that we have the tools to improve our market share in this country, "he says." The next 12 months will tell if we are on the right side - or if we are sinners. "

He was successful? In relation to the stability at high speeds, the answer is yes, within the normal limits of the road. Satria Neo and the operation very well in place with market leaders.
