Proton dijangka naik taraf model premium guna enjin 2.4 liter

PROTON Holdings Bhd dijangka melaksanakan program gantian model Proton Perdana awal tahun depan dalam usaha meningkatkan penguasaan pasarannya dalam segmen enjin berkuasa lebih 2.0 liter di pasaran tempatan.

Sumber industri berkata, pengeluar kereta nasional itu kini sedang serius berunding dengan sebuah syarikat automotif berpangkalan di Eropah tetapi beroperasi di luar benua itu.

“Selepas kerjasama dengan Volkswagen AG gagal menjadi kenyataan baru-baru ini, Proton giat mencari rakan kongsi bagi program penggantian Perdana.

“Ia kini serius berunding dengan sebuah syarikat pengeluar kereta dari Eropah itu yang tidak beroperasi di sana. Rundingan itu menjurus kepada kemungkinan pembentukan kerjasama bagi program itu.

“Proton menyasar memulakan program penggantian Perdana selewat-lewatnya awal tahun depan iaitu selepas pelancaran model Waja baru menjelang Disember ini,” katanya kepada Berita Harian baru-baru ini.

Selain rundingan dengan Volkswagen yang ditamatkan pada awal Jun lalu, Proton sebelum ini juga dikatakan sudah berunding dengan beberapa syarikat automotif antarabangsa lain untuk program Perdana baru itu.
Ia termasuk Mitsubishi, Renault SA serta Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp (SAIC), iaitu syarikat automotif China yang mengambil alih jenama pengeluar kereta Rover dari Britain dengan rundingan menjurus kepada penghasilan model berkuasa sekurang-kurangnya 2.4 liter.

Difahamkan, Proton juga sudah memberitahu kerajaan mengenai perkembangan dicapai menerusi rundingan terbarunya bagi memilih rakan kongsi untuk menghasilkan model Perdana itu.

Sumber itu berkata, model Perdana baru itu kelak tidak lagi menggunakan enjin 2.0 liter, sebaliknya menggunakan enjin berkuasa sekurang-kurangnya 2.4 liter.

Katanya, penggunaan enjin lebih berkuasa untuk model baru itu bertujuan mengangkat taraf Perdana sebagai kereta premium Proton, selain membezakannya dengan model gantian Waja akan turut menggunakan enjin 2.0 liter.

“Perdana baru itu nanti tidak lagi bersaing dengan model pengeluar dalam kelasnya sekarang, sebaliknya ia bakal menyaingi model lebih atas seperti Hyundai Sonata atau Kia Optima, malah Toyota Camry dan Honda Accord,” katanya.

hi,
found this in web about PRM(perdana replacement model)


Words are spreading around about the new Perdana replacement model.
Most likely the new perdana will be based on the Australian made Mitsubishi 380.
The mitsubishi 380 based perdana will be most likely to be a replacement to the current Perdana which is based on the Mitsubishi Eterna. However the Mitsubishi 380,as the name implies, uses a 3.8 liter v6 engine. This is a big no no for malaysian market. With fuel prices shooting up like rockets, it is most likely to be replaced with a smaller engine.

The current perdana uses a 6a12 v6 engine from mitsubishi which produces around 150hp which is suitable for platform which weight only 1300kg. But this engine is not suitable for the new perdana as it weight over 1600kg.
Expect a 2.2 or 2.4 with at least 160hp engine to be fitted on this 380 based platform.

old news.

the model rejected long long time ago...

Correction:-Perdana 2.0 V6 - only 148HP, Perdana 2.0 Sei - 137HPMy previous ride......Yup..... Perdana replacement will be base on Exzora platform. As usual 18 months target to launch by next year.

yup... saw this model about 2-3 years ago...

they still modified this model to be suitable to our country.

and yes... it will 2.4 l

So Protong R&D is really Rebadge and Duplicate loh !
Shame on them !!

Perdana Replacement Model=Nissan Fuga.. here we go http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F...%2F&h=743f1

to be continue... more will come... i just wish they will rebadge civic n altis... then c wat H n T will say hahaha... again, HM n UMW say we dunno they deal direct japan :)

Yeaaah another rebadge from proton.. I think proton should rebadge teana instead...

already a lot of comments in the paultang website on this topic.

personally i think they should just open tender for affordable purchase and maintenance plan.
as long as it is locally assembled brand doesnt matter so much now, as long as it supports local auto industry. It is after all our tax dollars at work.

what makes us think that the 150 units will benefit proton in any big way? I think someone made a comment about it being silly as such a small quantity is not going to be economical to run either unless it shares lots of parts with current local nissan models. (see what happened to our airport taxi's which used Tacoma's)

i must admit though there is a bit of national pride attached to most government cars e.g. French will use Peugeot, Italians use Fiat and Alfa, Americans use ford/chevorlet/lincoln, VW/Audi/Merc/BMW for the germans, etc.

i dont think nissan can make a lot of money from this deal alone.... maybe something else is happening too...
