proton savvy review

Di antara Proton dan Perodua, amat mudah untuk melihat jenama mana yang menghasilkan kereta rakyat. Kedua-dua pembuat kereta tempatan ini juga mempunyai persaingan yang agak sihat antara satu sama lain. Walaupun Proton memberi saingan yang baik melawan Perodua Myvi dengan Iriz, namun begitu angka penjualannya kurang memberangkan jika nak dibandingkan dengan ‘Raja Jalanan’ yang perkasa. Tetapi, angka jualannya boleh dikira sebagai “langit dan bumi” jika nak dibandingkan dengan cubaan Proton terda

Between Proton and Perodua, it’s easy to see which one produces the rakyat's car. Both local carmakers also have a sort of friendly rivalry. While Proton did a decent rival against the Perodua Myvi with the Iriz, its sales were pretty lacklustre compared to the mighty King. At least the Iriz actually sell decently, which is more being said for its predecessors, the Proton Tiara and the Proton Savvy. Exactly what went wrong with the two Proton hatchbacks that both models are dubbed as the worst p

在Proton和Perodua之间，很容易看出谁的车才是人民之车。不过，这两家国产车企之间，也一直有着某种友好的竞争关系。 尽管Proton凭借着Iriz与Perodua Myvi打得有来有回，但比起真正的王者，它还是要差点意思。不过至少，Iriz的销量还算可观，但这个评价，用在它的前辈Proton Tiara和Proton Savvy上更加合适。 这两款Proton的掀背车型到底做错了什么，以至于我们会将它们称为吉利时代前最差劲的Proton车型？从理论上说，这取决于Savvy选择的变速箱，但无论如何，这两款车型对于Proton来说都是很失败的。 那么，我们先从Proton Tiara开始吧。 Proton Tiara——表现并不出色 在90年代，Proton几乎占据了每一个级别的市场。Iswara虽然可能有些落后了，但它确实能够让你以低廉的价格换来宽裕的空间。 Wira在追加了新的引擎选项后，在销量榜上居高不下，而尽管Perdana才刚刚上市，但它最终统治D级市场只是时间问题。最后，还有Satria，它也逐渐成为了一个狂热群体的符号。 所以，Tiara在这里真的有些格格不入。首先，

Proton is easily the first homegrown Malaysian car brand but when it comes to being the people’s choice, it’s obvious that the answer belongs to Perodua. That being said, what if Proton decided to challenge the Perodua Axia with its own A-segment hatchback and bringing back a long-lost nameplate? Well, worry no more because this Proton Tiara (or should I say Tiada?) is designed by the maestro himself, Theophilus Chin, who also provided the renders of the next-gen Honda HR-V, Based on the looks,

Proton是第一个马来西亚国产的汽车品牌，但若要问谁是人民的选择，答案却仍是Perodua。 尽管如此，但如果Proton决定要重新启用早已淘汰的招牌，用自己的这款A级掀背车来挑战Perodua Axia，结果又会是如何呢？ 别担心，这辆Proton Tiara（或者应该说Tiada？）是出自大师Theophilus Chin之手，新一代Honda HR-V的渲染图也是出自他的手下。 从外观上看，它确实有点像被压扁了的Proton Suprima，在尾部又有一点Dacia Sandero或印度Tata Tiago的感觉。 一个有趣的事实是，Tiago一开始的名字叫做Zica，但因为听起来有点像Zika病毒，Tata最终为它改了名字，真是个糟糕的巧合。 回到这辆A级掀背车，它的前脸有着与Saga相似的头灯和前保险杠，同时还有从X50上借来的中网。 正如名字一样，Tiada只是个幻想。很遗憾，Proton几乎不可能重新复活这款A级掀背车了。 还记得Proton曾经向Perodua发起挑战的那两次尝试吗？Tiara和Savvy最终都以失败告终。尽管Savvy最终成为了我们喜爱的一款车（MT

作为一个国家（明确的说，是纳税人）投资了超过35年的汽车品牌，仅仅提到Proton这个名字，都会引起大马各界人士的强烈回应。对于Proton，人们有许多不同的看法，有些是正面的，也有一些是负面的。 不过可以确定的一点是，当前Proton的现有车型，也就是从吉利派生而来的Proton X50和Proton X70，是真正的世界级产品。从产品线的角度来看，Proton现在比以往的任何时候都要繁荣。凭借着优秀的产品，Proton很自然地将市场份额和利润都收入囊中。 我们尽可以探讨Proton在大马的神圣地位，或者争论它还能不能被称为国有汽车企业，但这些都不是我们今天这篇文章的主题。 相反，我们要做的是庆祝Proton走过了35年的历史。如同所有的人生一样，Proton经历过低谷，也有过鼎盛的时期。即使在吉利到来之前，Proton也已经证明过自己是有能力制造出好车的，问题在于这常常出现偏差。 在我们向更光明的未来进发之前，我们要先清除掉负面的东西，所以我们会先从Proton的低谷开始说起。 吉利时代之前，Proton最差的5款车 1.

作为这个国家（特别是纳税人）贡献超过35年的品牌，只要提起Proton这个名字，自然就会引起马来西亚各行各业人们的强烈反响。我们对Proton都有自己不同的看法，有些是好的，有些则不是。 不过可以肯定的是，现在这一代的Proton汽车，即源于Geely的Proton X50和Proton X70，都是真正的世界级产品。从产品阵容的角度来看，现在的Proton比以前任何时候都更强大，凭借着具有强大竞争力的产品，其市场领先地位和利润自然会随之而来。 我们可以因为Proton的身份，甚至是它是否应该继续把自己称作“国民汽车品牌”而争论不休，但这不是本文的目的。 相反，我们想庆祝Proton的35年历史。像人的一生那样，这段历史中曾有低谷，也曾有高潮。即便是在Geely入局之前，Proton就已经证明了它具备打造真正优秀汽车的能力，只是在这期间，成功和失败的案例都曾经出现过。 我们先从那些不怎么好的车型着手盘点，只有以史为鉴，方能更好地朝着光明的未来前进。 Geely时代前Proton制造过的最糟糕的5款汽车 1.

This is the Geely Jiaji, which made its debut back in March 2019. It is safe to say that the Geely Jiaji is set to be Proton's next multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). Depends on who you ask, the Geely Jiaji may or may not replace the Proton Exora. We are more inclined to believe in the latter, as the Geely Jiaji is a more premium product that's unlikely to fit within the current Proton Exora's price range. But before we get started on this review, we must stress the fact that the China market Geely Ji

It is the most affordable Proton model sold at a price point that most hardworking Malaysians can afford. With the facelift, Proton has elevated its entry-level car to be a desirable product.

We’ve seen various attempts at innovation by Proton such as the Arena, Juara, and Savvy. As an automaker, Proton is actually quite young considering Hyundai was founded in 1967 and Volkswagen was founded pre-World War 2. Proton was founded in 1983. Now, one car you might remember from Proton is the Proton Tiara. It was an oddball since it was Proton’s only collaboration with a French automaker. The Tiara had a 1.1 L 4-cylinder engine that only made 57 PS of maximum power. The transmission was a
