Pros Icon

Pros

  • Immediate throttle response makes overtakings effortless.
  • With a turbo engine, one would think the Proton Suprima S drinks, but on the contrary, it consumes as low as 10.5L/km, depending on your driving habits.
  • Even though “Lotus handling” is imprinted on the rear of the car, the Proton Suprima S does not sacrifice the comfort for handling. It is still a C-segment car that hauls a family of 5 and a fair amount of.
Cons Icon

Cons

  • Like you’ve entered a factory that manufactures plastics bits and panels in the dash area and door panels, as compared to its slightly more refined brother, the Proton Preve with its dark toned wood trim dashboard.
  • With its sub-par interior refinement, cabin is noisy at higher speeds
  • Unrefined CVT-automatic transmission is not as smooth as you would expect a CVT to be.

Overview

Proton Suprima S – Overview

The C-segment hatchback Proton Suprima S was available from 2013 before it was discontinued in 2018. It is a hatchback version of the Proton Preve.

The Proton Suprima S competes with C-Segment Hatchbacks such as the Volkswagen Golf, Ford Focus, and Peugeot 308. However, the locally manufactured Proton Suprima S is a much more cheaper  option compared to its continental rivals, with a rather bang for buck price tag that starts from RM 66,987.27 (Proton Suprima S Standard) all the way to RM 85,430.95 (Proton Suprima S Super Premium), when new.

Moreover, Proton Suprima S offers a 1.6-litre Campro Turbo engine mated to a CVT-type automatic transmission.

  

Exterior

Proton Suprima S  – Design

Derived from the sedan Proton Preve, the Proton Suprima S is a C-segment hatchback. One would assume that cutting off the back end of a sedan to make a hatchback  would probably make the Suprima S look odd, but not in this case as the Proton Suprima S looks rather good.

Proton Suprima S – Dimensions

In terms of buying the most metal from your money, the Suprima S offers very good value. It is a decently sized family car, regardless if it is for a short distance to the restaurant down your Taman, or a family vacation from Kuala Lumpur to Penang. Below are the dimensions for you to gauge its size from its competitors.

Interior

Proton Suprima S – Interior

The interior of the Proton Suprima S comes with water repellent fabric and also leather on the seats and door panels. Though, the leather interior can only be found in the highest specification  Premium spec.

Furthermore,  the Premium variant’s steering wheel  comes wrapped in  leather, with a pair of paddle shifters should you prefer to manually select the CVTs virtual ratios.

Proton Suprima S also comes with a 7-inch LCD touch-screen infotainment paired with Blaupunkt speakers. It includes GPS navigation, audio and video playback, a 4G dongle that lets you connect to Wi-Fi, and finally the most important Bluetooth. Although there are numerous features available on the infotainment system, the screen display quality is poor.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, the analogue dials in front are complemented by a small  digital screen that gives you basic vehicle status  information  such as fuel level,and remaining driving range. 

While the centre console is as basic as it can be with two (2) cup holders in the middle, a small middle compartment below the air ventilation knobs provides one (1) USB port, a 12V socket, and a storage space enough for your wallet and keys.

For a C-segment hatchback the rear seats are spacious enough even for a 170 cm tall person. It also comes with ISOFIX mounts  for seats. Behind, the Suprima S comes with a 427-litre boot , down by 81 litres from sedan Proton Preve. But with the seats folded, you can have a much larger and taller cargo area for your Ikea runs.

It is claimed to sprint from 0-100 km/h in 9.9 seconds.

Ride Comfort

Proton Suprima S – Ride comfort

Developed in partnership with Lotus, the Proton Suprima S has a very agile handling characteristic in the corners.

However it doesn’t sacrifice comfort in long distance drives. The suspension feels comfortable when driving over bumps or rougher roadsThe only complaint is cabin noise,  which gets quite high when the Suprima S is driven at higher speeds.

Conclusion

Proton Suprima S – Conclusion

The Proton Suprima S is one of the best value for money offerings in the C-Segment hatchback market. However, if comparing by specifications and build quality with its foreign rivals  as the Volkswagen Golf Mk7, and  Ford Focus, It has a lot of shortcomings but given its asking price, it’s a fair compromise.
