Proton Edar CEO Roslan Abdullah said the latest addition to the company’s range also came in new colours while offering improved comfort and safety.

“The Proton Iriz and Persona have won many fans since their introduction, so we took a measured approach to update them,” he said in a statement.

“The styling changes and addition of a new Active variant for the Proton Iriz will help boost their visual appeal.

“The changes to the interior and infotainment system ensure they deliver better comfort and connectivity while retaining Proton’s trademark driving experience.”

Roslan said the most noticeable change to the interior of the 2022 Proton Iriz and Persona is the introduction of a new 20cm floating infotainment head unit with voice command functions that have been updated to control the air-conditioning and driver’s window.

With regards to safety, both models have received the 5-star Asean NCAP rating and come with a comprehensive list of safety features such as reinforced body structure using hot press formed (HPF) steel, electronic stability control (ESC), traction control system (TCS) and hill hold assist (HHA).
