THE PROTON SUPRIMA S IN MALAYSIA

The Proton Suprima S has been unveiled at an event in Malaysia, revealing a sporty hatch set to arrive locally in November.

Based on the five-door Preve GXR that’s due here in October, the Proton Suprima S is powered by a 103kW/205Nm turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine.

Tied to either a five-speed manual gearbox or a ’seven-speed’ continuously variable transmission (CVT), the Suprima S claims a 0-100km/h best of 9.9 seconds and fuel consumption of 9.1 litres per 100 km according to Malaysian standards.

Weighing 1375kg in entry-level Executive specification and 1395kg in high-grade Premium trim, the hatch is 4436mm long, 1786mm wide and 1524mm tall – 54mm shorter, 31mm wider and 54mm taller than the current-generation Mazda 3. Its 2650mm-long wheelbase is also stretched 10mm more than the Mazda’s.

Up front the Suprima S shares much in common with the Preve, though gains a new black honeycomb grille, new plastic inserts and new fog light surrounds. LEDs feature in the daytime running lights and angular tail-lights. A tailgate-mounted spoiler joins a ‘Turbo’ badge and 17-inch wheels, with the Executive wearing 16-inch rims.

The Suprima S is framed by a glossy black honeycomb grille and brilliant chrome finish. The honeycomb grille together with blacked out lower air intake creates a strong but friendly face.

REAR LED LIGHT GUIDE

The rear LED Light Guide and jeweled look of the rear lamp cluster gives the Suprima S a distinctive and memorable rear view.

   ROOF SPOILER

The roof spoiler extends the roofline and this enhances the Suprima S charismatic personality while improving airflow and reducing aerodynamic drag.

7 SPOKE 17" ALLOY WHEEL*

The 17-inch seven-spoke wheels feature titanium finish on the inside and brilliant diamond cut on the face.
*Available only in the Premium variant.

BEE STING ANTENNA

The low-profile antenna is not just an innovative design feature; it also cuts through the air better and contributes to the Suprima’s aerodynamic design.

DAYTIME RUNING LIGHT (DRL)*

The Suprima S is the first Proton model to feature Daytime Running Light. It makes the Suprima S more visible at all times, enhancing safety.
*Available only in the Premium variant
