Proton\u2019s tieup with Geely has seen a series of aggressive\nactivities from our first national car maker in years. One of it is the visual\nand technical makeovers the rest of the Proton range has received post X70\nlaunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bolstered by the huge reception received by the Proton X70,\nthe rest of the Proton range has undergone some changes to ensure that there\u2019s\na cohesive brand image between all the cars in the current range. The latest recipient\nof this makeover is the Proton Persona. Here are 5 upgrades that were made to\nthe car that may interest you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family Face \u2013 Exterior Grill<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The most obvious changes would be to the exterior of the\ncar. The Proton Persona now sports the \u201cEthereal Bow\u201d front grille with the \u201cInfinite\nWeave\u201d (Thanos will be proud) sculpture pattern, which comes straight off the\nX70\u2019s front facia. We leave it to you to decide if you prefer the older grill\nor the current redesign. However it does make it look much more related to the\nX70 SUV, and that might appealing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the Daytime Running Lights<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Along with the front grill, the reworked Persona also\nfeatures different DRL\u2019s up front. They seat rather smartly on the newly\ndesigned front bumper and air intakes, which again, brings it closer in design\nto the Proton X70<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Branding \u2013 Take Two<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Along with the subtle changes in the front and rear, there\u2019s\na change in the way the car is branded too. Gone is the Proton logo at the back\nof the car. Now the brands name is spelled out across the back of the car with\nthe words Persona plastered on the side of the rear trunk lid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Shoes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

No reworking of a car is complete without snazzy new shoes\nright? The new 15 inch, 8 spoke rims on the Persona now sports what Proton\ncalls \u2018Aluminum wheel design\u2019 is less cluttered in terms of design compared to\nthe last one. Once again since this is strictly a design feature, we let you\ndecide if it\u2019s to your taste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tech Upgrade<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Last, but arguably the most significant change, is the\nPersona\u2019s Infotainment system. While the full details on what its capable of\nand what are the functions it will sport upon launch is unclear, its safe to\nsay that the Proton Persona\u2019s touchscreen system will be similar to that of the\nProton X70. Which means it could have the same voice command system its SUV big\nbrother is famous for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Proton Persona has gotten its Geely makeover to make it\nrelevant to the rest of the competition in the market, and to bring it closer\nto the X70 SUV. The Persona was already a fine car to begin with, an ideal\nfirst car for most young adults. The addition of the X70 derived infotainment\nsystem and the design updates might just do the trick on getting prospective\nbuyers to flock the showroom floors for it. Let\u2019s wait and see how the actual\nfinished product feels in the real world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
