Spy Shot: Is this the new Proton MPV?


Is this for real? Looks really good - almost like the new Stream.


Spy Shot captured on the East-West Highway by CarStudio.

If it will drives as well as the Honda Stream & costs half of a Stream, then I wont be surprise that this would turn out to be a best seller.

After a string of hits from Proton, I really hope they continue their good showing with an MPV like this by the end of this year.

Perhaps a new engine to boot? Like a Campro 1.8 CPS or dare I suggest a 2.0 TDI Diesel from Mitsubishi? Say good bye to Granny Livina soon!

Essential Motoring 101 has this to say.

My say would be that Proton should offer a Campro 1.8L diesel engine, besides the usual petrol motor. Of course, the CPS (Cam Profiling System) and perhaps the VIM (Variable Intake Manifold) would not be a question at all when the MPV arrives.

Hey Paul,
I just compared the pics. It looks really close to Mazda8, and probably you are right since you are the expert. But man, it got our hopes up really high...
Hope they just "Copy" the design.
