Proton Persona Reviews
- Overview
Proton's B-segment sedan 2021 Proton Persona that is derived from the Proton Iriz. It offers buyers an alternative to the Toyota Vios and Honda City at with more affordable price tag. Like all Protons, it has excellent ride and handling, its biggest letdown would be the CVT. (New 2020 Perodua Bezza vs 2019 Proton Persona – Is bigger always better?)

Design
Since the Persona is based on the Iriz, they share many design cues but apart from the obvious, they can be differentiated from the front bumper and exterior trim colours for the 2021 facelifted Proton Persona.
Dimensions
Dimensions wise, it is shorter than both the Honda City and Toyota Vios, although the wheelbase is similar. The Persona is by far the tallest among them and it's apparent in the flesh.
2019 Proton Persona Dimensions Length 4,362 mm Width 1,722 mm Height 1,554 mm Wheelbase 2,555 mm - Interior
![]()
Dashboard
There's a new floating-style infotainment display with upgraded “Hi Proton” voice command that now controls the power windows and air-conditioning.
Speaking of air-conditioning, the controls have become digital, and there's 3 USB ports underneath it.
Space and Practicality
Interior space is decent, headroom is generous given the height of the car and knee room is acceptable for its segment.

2021 Proton Persona Specs and Features
Infotainment
As mentioned earlier, the updated infotainment system allows voice commands to adjust temperature and windows, though this feature is limited to the Premium variant only.
No Apple CarPlay and Android Auto but there is MirrorLink for your smartphones and of course, Bluetooth.
Comfort Features
Executive and Premium variants get keyless entry, push start button, remote boot release, automatic headlamps, and 2 USB chargers at the rear. The Premium variant get LED headlamps and leatherette seats.
Safety Features
Safety features include stability and traction control standard across all variants while the Premium variant gets 6 airbags.
- Powertrain
![]()
Engine
An ageing powertrain, the 1.6-litre VVT engine making 109 PS and 150 Nm of torque that is paired to a CVT, is carried over from before. However, the characteristics of the CVT is said to be altered.
- Driving Performance
![]()
View the Proton Persona Review
Acceleration
Given that the powertrain is largely unchanged, we expect the performance figures to be similar from before. The 2019 Persona completed the 0-100 km/h sprint in 11.7 seconds, while 100-0 km/h braking distance took 45.5 meters.
In comparison, the Toyota Vios did the century sprint in 12.7 seconds and stopped in 45.0 meters.
Steering and Handling
Handling is excellent as expected from a Proton. Body roll is well contained despite its tall body, which boosts confidence on highways with sweeping bends.
- Ride Comfort
![]()
Passenger Comfort
Where suspension is concerned, the balance between pliancy and handling is spot on. Undulations are quickly sorted out and doesn’t get jolted over potholes and rough patches.
Sound Proofing
Sound insulation is about average; reasonable at city speeds but above that tyre, wind and powertrain noise become intrusive.
- Fuel Economy
![]()
Fuel Consumption
Fuel consumption is also expected to be similar to before. In mixed conditions, the Persona achieved 8.4-litre/100 km. Compared to the Toyota Vios’ 6.8-litre/100 km, it’s rather poor.
- Conclusion
![]()
While the Persona may not be as refined or as fuel efficient as the Japanese, its asking price is considerably lower whilst maintaining good equipment level. If budget is tight and a sedan is required, the Persona check all the boxes. (New 2020 Perodua Bezza vs Proton Saga vs Proton Persona – A bigger option for the same price?)

2019 Proton Persona 1.6 Standard CVT
Pros1. Smooth handling. I tried driving vios and city. So far, proton’s handling is the best. 2. Large trunk. I can fit many things in the trunk including my bicycle. 3. Modern design. I think this is the first modern design that Proton introduce to public. I was amazed when I saw the Fazura and zul ariffin ads driving persona. Memang mempersonakan! 4. The driver’s seat fit my body the best. So I don’t experience stiff neck for a long drive. 5. Of course affordable maintenance! The major service was just RM700! 6. The dashboard meter. I love the combination of analog and digital. It gives an urban feel when you drive the car. 7. Complete safety feature! Equipped with EBD, ABS, BA, Hill Hold Assist and Traction Control for all variants. Hill Hold Assist is a real deal here. You don't have to worry driving in a jam at Cameron highlands!Cons1. Small leg room. If you are large, you have to push your seat backwards and it will jeopardise the passengers at the back leg room. Major disappointment! 2. Small rim. Well the overall design of persona is amazing! But it became odd when you equipped it with small 15 inch rim. Major turn off. 3. Not so economically fuel save. My city use up to 7.1L/100KM or 14KM/1L. I think proton can do better in terms of fuel consumption to make it competitive with perodua. 4. The performance is not consistent. Sometimes when I hit the pedal it perfomed very well especially during morning and night. At times, it is underpowered especially when you drive it under hot scorching sun. Well, i think the weather temperature plays important roles in driving performance. 5. The rear door design. I find it difficult to exit the car if I seat at the back. Because my leg will stuck at the below side of the door mcm ada penghadang and it quite high. I have to angkat my kaki kalau nak keluar. Maybe sebab I gemuk mungkin? Hahaha 6. No arm rest. Like really? I think arm rest is very vital to ensure comfortable drive. I bought cheap OEM arm rest and fit perfectly my cik sona. But I have to sacrifice 1 of the cupholder la. - Read More
2019 Proton Persona 1.6 Premium CVT
Pros-good ride and handling -paid Rm55k so cheap for B segment -12km per litre with mix highway and town driving -good size boothCons- just one year and 3 months after buying the car, the driver side window failed and no warranty so must pay from my own pocket. This made me questions the long term quality of the car and proton in general. -Space is okay for 4 people but because the back headrest is fixed and very small if people above 5'6 sat at the back there is no head support and is uncomfortable for very long journey. Overall space is smaller than myvi. - Read More
