Space

Boot space should be good 2 luggages and a few small bags. Space itself would be more than enough for me including the boot space.

Power

Power delivery is smooth and more than adequate for the weight and size of the car. The car can get to highway speed and beyond with ease.

Ride & Handling

The way the car drives is very stable and it doesn’t get jittery even when cornering at higher speed. The steering is sharp and direct with adequate turning radius.

Comfort

Ride comfort is excellent and the suspension well-tuned. NVH levels are among the best in its class with no apparent faults can be found.

Exterior

It is unlike any proton cars from the pre-Geely era and this looks much better than any Japanese car in the segment as well. The rear of the car is excellent with a quad exhaust design and small spoiler.

Interior

The best-looking interior in its class by far with good blend of materials. I absolutely love the dual tone interior with soft touch materials incorporated all over the car.
