Proton Perdana

Proton Perdana Overview

Proton’s flagship model, the Proton Perdana is a 4-door, D-segment mid-size sedan with the latest generation unveiled in 2016. First introduced in 1995 as a rebadged seventh-gen Mitsubishi Eterna, the first-generation Proton Perdana was born as a result of the collaboration between Proton and Mitsubshi. The latest fourth-generation Proton Perdana on the other hand is heavily based on the eighth-generation Honda Accord with added Proton styling unique to the flagship. The overall result is an elegant exterior with robust Japanese foundations, fit for government officials and VIPs alike.

Unlike the previous Proton Perdana, or more famously known as the ‘Accordana’ which were only made available to government officials in Malaysia, Malaysians could get their hands on their very own Proton flagship with a friendly starting price of RM 113,888. Two variants on offer for the 2018 model are the 2.0L and the 2.4L variants and can be had in 7 different colour options, namely Cotton White, Graphite Grey, Midnight Black, Ruby Red, Sterling Silver, Citrine Gold and Silver Moon Dust.

Competition for the Proton Perdana include the likes of the Toyota Camry, Mazda 6, Hyundai Sonata, Volkswagen Passat and of course the in-house rival, the Honda Accord. The Proton Perdana offers the cheapest entry price into the luxury D-segment sedan market, so cheap in fact, that it competes with some of its rivals' C-segment models in terms of pricing.
