First launched in 2007, the first-generation Proton Persona (CM) marked a return to form for Proton in delivering a value-for-money family sedan for the masses that was robust, comfortable and practical too.

We've seen several spyshots of the 2021 Proton Iriz MC2 last week, but more has surfaced on the internet! This time, we have a clear view of the dashboard. From the photos obtained by our friends at Funtasticko, we’re able to see the metal (presumably aluminium) pedals clearly, complimenting the red accents for a sporty touch. We're also able to see the round Thundercat Proton logo on the steering wheel. The Proton Iriz finally gets a centre armrest, which appears to be upholstered in leather wi
