Selamat Hari Merdeka everyone! It looks like our national car company Proton has decided to give us all a little Merdeka gift in the form of a new set of Proton Compact Car teaser images on their new microsite for the car – betulbetulonz.com.my.
There are a few teaser images on the site showing us things like the headlamp design and the touch screen head unit. Proton has also given us a way to unveil the full car using four mobile phones to generate four pieces of the teaser image. Try it, it’s pretty fun.
We’ve did that and pieced together the teaser image especially for you, dear readers. So here you have it, the first full body view of the new Proton Compact Car that’s NOT leaked from classified areas.
The first teaser image released for this car in Proton’s Merdeka video already gave us a glimpse of how the Proton Compact Car’s headlamps would look like, but in this photo the angle is slightly different. The Proton logo in the headlamp is a nice touch.
The headlamp appears to use both projector and reflector lenses, and the yellow tinge (as opposed to the more whitish colour of xenons) seen in this photo could mean halogen bulbs.
This teaser image shows a top cutaway view of the car. We can see that the high spec variants (if not all variants, here’s wishing) of the Proton Compact Car will come with six airbags. Thanks to the angle, we also have a preview of the interior layout.
There are five seats of course, and the rear seats look like they have three headrests, and the bench looks like it has a 60:40 split. We can see that the gear lever is in the usual position close to the dashboard, and behind it there are two cup holders and a handbrake lever. It looks like there’s also another cup holder behind the handbrake lever for the rear passengers.
This teaser image gives us a first look at the Proton Compact Car’s touch screen head unit. It looks different from the Android one found in the Suprima S. The four icons seen here say Navigation, Radio, Media and Bluetooth, so we know that the car has integrated navigation maps.
Our previous spyshots also show there should be an option for a regular head unit for the more affordable models. Another interesting bit – if you look at the bottom left edge of the image, you can see what appears to be faux stitching on the dashboard for a more premium look, just like the new Toyota Vios dashboard.
This teaser image shows that the variants of the car that has the touchscreen head unit can be equipped with a reverse camera function. If it’s standard, even better.
The reverse camera video feed has guide lines super-imposed onto it to help with parking.
Upper end variants of the Proton Compact Car will be available with keyless start, according to this photo. On the left side of the image you can see what appears to be a normal key hole that’s blanked out.
This image also allows us a closer look of the dashboard plastic texture around that area. This part of the dashboard is the lower half, and Proton could be using a combination of textures, as the dashboard texture of the area surrounding the air cond vents seen above look a little different.
Best news of all – safety. The Vehicle Dynamics Control logo seen here confirms the availability of electronic stability control in this car, what remains to be answered is if it’s standard on all variants. There’s also a five-star ANCAP crash test rating logo
