Production of the revamped B-segment hatchback has already commenced according to info shared by The Ajerul. Apart from that, there are also rumours that the updated Iriz will gain 2 new colours, Passion Red and Citric Orange. These colours are currently offered on the Proton X50.

Established in 2003, Race Rally Research, better known as R3, is Proton’s official performance and motorsports division. Headquartered in Proton’s Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Shah Alam, R3 does more than just cosmetic accessories or sport rims, as they have the desire to achieve the same status like what NISMO is for Nissan and STI for Subaru.
