This time though, it was based on the eighth-generation Honda Accord, and rushed to the market as a stop-gap measure to replace the ageing Perdana V6 government fleet vehicles. It went through quite a few rounds of updates, the last of which is shown here.Īfter it was discontinued in 2010, Proton went without a D-segment sedan in its range, until the second-generation Perdana was launched in late 2013. Proton sold 9,000 units of the large sedan within the first 14 months, capturing 47% of Malaysia’s “2.0 litre and above segment” at the time.Ī more powerful 6A12 2.0 litre V6 engine was introduced in late 1998, giving the Perdana 148 hp and 179 Nm of torque. The original car was the very first Proton to be fitted with ABS and cruise control, and its starting price of around RM85,000 in 1995 made it a sales success.

A five-speed manual gearbox was available at launch, but was soon discontinued as the four-speed automatic transmission proved far more popular.

It started life with Mitsubishi’s 4G63 2.0 litre four-cylinder engine, which offered 135 hp and 176 Nm of torque. The Mitsubishi Eterna-based sedan debuted the Proton Perdana name back in 1995, and remained in service until 2010. The original Perdana V6s are represented here in the mildly-stretched (10-inch) Executive forms, in both pre- and post-facelift guises. What we have here are two Perdana V6 Executive models and the current government use-only ‘Accordana’ in three different lengths. While the local company previews the upcoming 2016 Proton Perdana, it has kindly rounded up the previous and existing models that wore the iconic nameplate. Makes for an interesting viewing, don’t you think? We’re reporting live from Alami Proton 2015 in Shah Alam, and here is a unique picture gallery of the “Evolution of the Perdana” showcase happening at the Proton Styling Studio. the 2nd value is terrible 4 this car now, n its already old!! its not cheap 2 buy one new 2day, but you'll really struggle 2 sell it back after, n there are better newer cars out there. changed a new one (kedai potong), n then sold it immediately shortly after. also, he bought the car 2nd hand, n the gearbox kaput only after bout a month owning it. looks really hot, but feels quite heavy becoz of those wheels. my other uncle used 2 have the SEi version, he put on the v6 bodykit, some big wheels n paint it white. Overall a good car, except 4 the problematic gearbox that is.

it feels torquey n smooth, but the steering's a bit too light. its quiet, spacious n 2 drive its quite nice. my auntie used 2 have one in silver (i prefer the silver than the black), n its really comfortable. I actually really like the design of the perdana v6, the previous one, not the one wit the alfa grill (i hate the alfa grill facelift).
