Friday August 29, 2008, posted by Staff

Proton Cars has launched an all-new Persona onto the Australian market with fresh styling, improved build quality and better performance.
The new Persona shares only its name with the previous Proton Persona model, a car that was sold in Australia between 1995 and 2005. The new model however is based on the Proton designed and developed GEN.2 platform and uses an improved version of Proton’s own Campro 1.6 litre twin cam engine.

The new Persona will come to market with a recommended retail price of $16,990 plus on roads for the five speed manual and $18,990 for the four speed automatic. It will be available in one fully equipped trim level, underlining the car’s tremendous value.

An expansive standard equipment list includes ABS antilock brakes with EBD, driver and front passenger SRS airbags, climate control air conditioning, power windows, remote keyless entry and boot release, electric remote control mirrors, electronic reversing sensors, AM/FM/MP3/CD audio system and alloy wheels.
