“We are looking forward to introducing the Proton Suprima S in Australia and are very confident its styling, features and safety will appeal to buyers looking for excellent value in the hotly-contested small car segment,” says Billy Falconer, Proton Australia general manage sales and marketing”
Suprima S receives features never seen before in a Proton, including the Proton ‘infotainment’ with android-based operating system, rear LED light guides, daytime running lights (DRL), hill-hold assist, park assist with front parking sensors and a 7-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation system.
Additional features in the premium variant include leather seats, push start button, paddle shifts, and cruise control.
Power comes from a 1.6L turbo engine, which produces 103kW and 205Nm and is matched to Proton’s 7-speed ‘protronic’ CVT.
Lotus ride and handling adds to its driving dynamics, while 7-spoke, 17-inch rims complete the sporty look.
Safety is a priority and the Suprima S has six airbags, anti-trap power windows, ABS, and stability control with traction control. The premium variant is also equipped with park assist, incorporating rear parking sensors, and reverse camera.
The Proton Suprima S comes with Proton’s 5-star program, which consists of a 5-year warranty, 5-year free roadside assist, 5-years capped price servicing and 5-star ANCAP safety rating.
Proton executive chairman YBhg Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Haji Mohd Khamil says Proton has focused on improving every aspect of the Proton Suprima S, especially safety.
“The Proton Suprima S comes with the highest safety standards Proton has offered, topped off with a 5-Star ANCAP safety rating. This is the future we envisage for all our products and services, and represents the benchmark we set for the standards and quality that Proton aims to deliver to its customers.
“To ensure customer satisfaction, we embarked on pre-production activities such as extensive surveys, not just locally but on an international scale, particularly in the key markets where we will also be launching the Proton Suprima S,” says Tan Sri Mohd Khamil.
“Additionally, we had our vendors and dealers involved in the development of this car from an early stage – there was comprehensive involvement to guarantee understanding and the utmost level of commitment from everyone.”
When the Suprima S arrives in Australia, and its pricing, are to be announced closer to the launch.
