What is the Iriz competing with?

If all goes as plan, Proton could introduce the updated Iriz as soon as February. That said, with the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic current wreaking havoc on the automotive industry, the updated Iriz’ debut could be delayed to April.

There is a good chance that Proton has improved the Iriz’s safety features, as the B-segment hatchback was awarded with a 5-star rating by ASEAN NCAP under the new 2017 – 2020 protocol.

A quick recap: in order for a car to score a 5-star rating under the new 2017 – 2020 protocol, it must be equipped with some form of advanced driver assistance features, be it autonomous braking or blind spot warning.

As such, all signs seem to point to the fact that Proton has fitted the Iriz with some these features – hopefully putting it on par with the Perodua Myvi.

Nope.

Long story short, developing an entirely new platform isn’t cheap.

The Proton Iriz's pricelist is as follows:

1.3 VVT Standard (MT) - RM 36,700
1.3 VVT Standard (CVT) - RM 39,700
1.3 VVT Executive (CVT) - RM 44,700
1.6 VVT Executive (CVT) - RM 46,700
1.6 VVT Premium (CVT) - RM 50,700  

7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 'Hi Proton' voice command, excellent ride and handling.  

Ever since the first spyshots of the SUV-inspired Proton Iriz emerged, the media was quick to call it the Iriz Active, and for a good reason.

Back in 2014, Proton showcased the Proton Iriz Active Concept. Featuring SUV-style cladding and roof rails, plus a two-tone paint job, the jacked up Iriz rides 30 mm higher than the regular Iriz.

Further lending credence to that notion is the fact that Proton applied for a patent filing for the Iriz Active name back in 2014, which could very likely be applied to the jacked-up Iriz seen here.

The Price of the Proton Iriz are as follow:

Yes, Proton Iriz has Child Safety Lock, which are: 2019 Proton Iriz 1.3 VVT Executive CVT, 2019 Proton Iriz 1.3 VVT Standard CVT, 2019 Proton Iriz 1.3 VVT Standard MT, 2019 Proton Iriz 1.6 VVT Executive CVT, 2019 Proton Iriz 1.6 VVT Premium CVT.
