Before we get to the pleasant bits, we have to talk about the egg-shaped exterior. Yes, it’s based on the Proton Iriz and it would be too costly otherwise to develop another platform, but that doesn’t change how massive the body looks. The tall body, tiny wheel arches that no matter the wheel size fitted, it just wouldn’t appear proportionate. The ...
Previously, the interior of the Persona can be differentiated from the Iriz’s interior by its two-tone colour scheme on the dashboard and door cards, or as I like to call it, the white and dark chocolate combo. It was, in a way, carrying on the Persona legacy since the first-generation model had it too. In this round of updates, the two-tone combo ...
At its point of introduction, the second-generation Proton Persona took a few learnings from the Iriz and improved upon it. So it already had tweaks to the CVT and general refinement updates.

The 2019 Proton Persona return...
Putting aside the subjective and superficial topic of looks, the Proton Persona ticks all the right boxes for an affordable B-segment sedan. And this refresh has finally addressed the inconsistent CVT and made it tolerable in stop-and-go traffic. There is still no AEBunfortunately, as Proton says that it would be too costly to implement which would...
May 29, 2024 · Just like the Iriz we reviewed some time back, the Persona gets its power from a 1.6-litre VVT petrol engine that does 109 PS and 150 Nm. During our tests, the Persona completed the 0-100 km/h sprint in 11.7 seconds, while 100-0 km/h braking distance took 45.5 meters.
