Driving the Preface is a 2.0-litre, turbocharged in-line four mill producing 190 PS and 300 Nm. Powering is sent to the front wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT).

Much like other recent Geely models, the Preface is widely touted to be the next Proton Perdana; one that may just be able to revitalise Malaysia's D-segment sedan market.
