With the addition of the Active, Proton further streamlined the variant list, dropping the 1.3-litre manual option. There are just 3 variants on sale now.
Powertrains are unchanged, with the entry-level the 1.3-litre (95 PS/120 Nm) and 1.6-litre (109 PS/150 Nm) naturally-aspirated four-cylinder mills still seeing duty - mated to a CVT-type automatic driving the front wheels.
Besides styling, the Iriz MC2 also received a tweaked instrument cluster, additional USB ports and new seat upholstery designs on the inside.
The Iriz's main rival, the Perodua Myvi is offered in 5 variants with prices ranging between RM 46,500 for the entry-level 1.3 G (non-PSDA) up to RM 59,900 for the 1.5 AV variant.

Arvind can't remember a time when he didn't wheel around a HotWheels car. This love evolved into an interest in Tamiya and RC cars and finally the real deal 1:1 scale stuff. Passion finally lead to formal training in Mechanical Engineering. Instead of the bigger picture, he obsesses with the final drive ratio and spring rates of cars and spends the weekends wondering why a Perodua Myvi is so fast.
