Similar to the Iriz, Proton dropped the manual variant for the Persona too, thus offering just 3 CVT-type automatic variants now.
All variants of the Persona continued to be powered by the familiar 1.6-litre, 4-cylinder engine (109 PS, 150 Nm), albeit now offered with an ECO mode for improved fuel economy.

Passion finally lead to formal training in Mechanical Engineering.
