It is now 2014, and Proton’s big launch for this year will be this hatchback, currently known as the P2-30A Global Small Car. These are some of the clearest views of the B-segment hatchback yet, snapped earlier today by reader Ahmad Tarmizi on the road up to Genting. They were escorted by a Proton Inspira.
It looks like there’s no new year break for Proton’s testing team. Last we heard, the car was supposed to be launched within the first half of this year, and a name has already been picked, as part of a naming contest called ‘Nama Siapa Hebat‘. The winner will get a premium spec automatic version of the new car.
