proton wira special edition

The Proton Wira was Proton’s second-ever model right after the Saga and just like the first national car, the Wira sold like hotcakes. In fact, between its introduction in 1993 to its final year of production in 2009, 952,216 units of the heroically-named model were sold. Based on the fourth-generation Mitsubishi Lancer, Proton utilised the platform of the Wira on various other models including the Satria, Putra, and Arena. The Wira was also one of the first widely exported Proton models. The hi

What's that DJ Khaled catchphrase again? "Anotha' one?" He'd be on a roll here if he's covering new cars in Malaysia as we just got a picture of this Proton Iriz wearing a familiar paint scheme. Shared by our friends over at Careta, you'll notice the Iriz is wearing the striking black-and-yellow paintjob of the Proton Saga Anniversary Edition, which was built to commemorate the carmaker's 35th anniversary.

Nama Proton Wira ini memang sebati dengan rakyat Malaysia, macam nasi lemak. Model kedua keluaran syarikat nasional ini pada tahun 1993 selepas Proton Saga adalah model yang penting pada masa itu, dan sehingga kini masih ramai lagi yang meminatinya. Berasaskan model Mitsubishi Lancer generasi keempat, Proton telah mencipta pelbagai jenis variasi model berasaskan platform Wira ini seperti Aeroback, Satria, Arena, dan juga Putra.

Amidst all the buzz surrounding the upcoming Perodua Ativa, Proton tried to divert the attention on Malaysia’s newest SUV with its launching of a quartet of limited-edition models including the Proton Iriz R3 Edition and the Proton Persona Black Edition.

If you ever thought the 2021 Lexus RX 300 was a little too sedate for Malaysian streets, this should fix it: the RX 300 Luxury Special Edition. This makes it the fourth RX variant in Malaysia, besides the Premium, Luxury, and F Sport variants. And from RM 421,909.50, it's RM 12k pricier than the Luxury variant.

Just last week, we saw the 2020 Proton Saga Anniversary Edition made to celebrate the first Saga launched way back in 1985. Some liked it, but there also were critics that poked fun at Proton - thinking that the Saga is merely a cheap cash grab. Whether or not you liked it is another question, but it’s a fact that Proton had even hotter cars in their 37-year history, namely the Proton Putra, Satria GTI and Wira 1.8 Exi LE.

The Proton Iriz might be an aging model, having been launched 7 years ago with a refresh in 2019.

Compared to our recent scoops on past Proton specials, the 2020 Proton Saga Anniversary Edition has had much better fate - all 1,100 units have sold out within 5 days.

I remember the first time I heard of the Nurburgring was on Top Gear when Clarkson tried to make a lap time of under 10 minutes in a diesel Jaguar. He barely made the time but was outclassed by Sabine Schmidt. Needless to say, I always imagined how fast a Proton would go round the famous “Green Hell”.

As seen on Mudah, this particular unit has an asking price of RM 28,000, a tad bit more than a regular Wira. The extra nets you an LCD TV, ambient lighting, and even a fridge.
