Proton Iriz upgraded
PROTON has refreshed the Iriz hatchback which is sold in four variants of 1.3L Standard (MT & CVT), 1.3L Executive CVT and 1.6L Premium CVT - priced from RM43,800 to RM58,800.
It is offered in two new colours, Ruby Red and Carnelian Brown, apart from the existing Iriz colours, Graphite Grey, Atlantic Blue and Cotton White.
The refinements made to the Iriz include reduced Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH), the inclusion of the Eco-Drive Assist Indicator and recalibrated engine control unit (ECU) programming that provides linear response for improved driveability.
The 1.3L Executive variant also receives an upgrade in the form of a push-start button which was previously only fitted in the 1.6L variant.
“We also created differentiation in the form of 2-tone exterior colours for the 1.6L Premium variant where the roof, spoiler and side mirrors are black. As for the interior, we have further improved it with red stitching to the leather wrap steering and seats making the Iriz look sleeker, sportier and more stylish,” said Proton CEO Datuk Ahmad Fuaad Kenali.
The Iriz also does not compromise on safety and has a Hot Pressed Forming (HPF) steel structure.
The car has a 5-Star Asean NCAP rating for all variants, equipped with comprehensive active and passive safety features such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Traction Control System, Brake Assist, anti-lock braking system (ABS), Hill-Hold Assist, ISOFIX and top tether, as well as six airbags for the Premium variant.
For its class, the new Iriz is the most affordable 5-star Asean NCAP car in the region,” said Ahmad Fuaad.
