Offered in three variants of the Premium with 1.6-litre Charged Fuel Efficiency or CFE (turbocharged) engine mated to a seven-speed ProTronic continuously variable transmission (CVT), and two Executive variants featuring a 1.6-litre CamPro IAFM+ engine with a six-speed CVT or a five-speed manual, the Preve (pronounced as pray-vay) is a compelling value for money package.
“With more than 10,000 Preve booked to date, and with the numbers increasing every day, it has quickly established itself as the consumer’s preferred choice of compact sedan.“This is a very positive sign for us and further proof that Proton can engineer and manufacture world class products,” said Proton Holdings Bhd executive chairman, Datuk Seri Mohd Khamil Jamil.
He added that a total of almost 1,000 units were booked by eager customers as early as March, a month before the launch while another 4,893 units were booked in the month of April.“It was a vehicle that was eagerly anticipated by the market and continues to be well received, not only because it is affordable and offers owners a low cost of ownership, but excels in the terms of styling, performance, safety and equipment level,” said Khamil.
Priced from RM72,990 on-the-road (peninsular Malaysia) for the Premium variant, RM62,990 for the Executive CVT and RM59,990 for the Executive with manual transmission, the Prevé comes with a five-year or 150,000km warranty (whichever comes first) making it an affordable as well as attractive family and executive sedan.
The Preve Premium variant also offers the performance equivalent to that of higher 2.0-litre engine capacity vehicle, with its 1.6-litre power plant producing 138bhp and maximum torque of 205Nm.
Besides offering the best acceleration for a vehicle in its class, the Perve Premium also promises a commendable fuel consumption of 6.6 litres per 100km.
All Preve variants are equipped with anti-lock braking system with electronic brakeforce distribution, dual front airbags, active headrests, anti-trap driver power window and LED daytime running lights.
The Preve Premium variant gets additional equipment such as front side airbags, push start button, electronic stability control, traction control, cruise control and rear spoiler.
Another unique feature of the car is that it is 4G enabled, courtesy of Proton’s collaboration with YES 4G.
With a service interval of every 10,000km for a lower cost of ownership, the Preve is available in six colour choices of Blue Lagoon, Fire Red, Tranquility Black, Solid White, Genetic Silver and Elegant Brown.
