Proton introduces Suprima S Standard Variant From RM69k

Good news for all Malaysians, the Proton Suprima S which was unveiled back in 2013 has just become more affordable as Proton has introduced a Standard variant of its Proton Suprima S with retail price starts at RM69,438 on-the-road without insurance.

Think of the Suprima S Standard as the basic variant in the Suprima S range. The model now comes in four different specifications with price differences varying between  RM6,000 to RM18,000; Standard (RM69,438), Executive (RM76,410), Premium (RM79,651) and Super Premium (RM87,592).

As mentioned earlier in our previous post, the Suprima S Standard features less tech and gizmos compared to the Executive Variant which includes the omission of engine cover, front fog lamps, touch screen head unit, GPS navigation, steering audio switches, window tint, and YES 4G connectivity, just to name a few.

Apart from that, the airbag count has been reduced to only 2, and the Standard variant does not come with ESC  (Electronic Stability Control), Traction Control (TCS), front reactive headrest, driver side assist grip as well as seat belt reminder for front passenger. However, the company stressed that occupant protection and safety is paramount with Proton, and it starts with the Reinforced Safety Structure. Just like the Premium and Executive variants of the Suprima S, the bodyshell is manufactured using an advanced hot press forming process, giving it ultra high tensile strength to make it more capable of absorbing impact forces and at the same time lighter weight, which aids better fuel consumption.

Power is supplied by the same 4-cylinder 1.6-litre Turbo engine available in all its Suprima S variants. It is capable of producing 138hp at 5000rpm, and with a maximum torque of 205Nm from 2000 to 4000rpm. The engine is mated to Proton’s 7-speed ProTronic CVT while its driving dynamics is enhanced with Lotus Ride and Handling. According to Proton, the Lotus Ride and Handling developed exclusively for the Suprima S range give it exceptional dynamics. “Whether it’s tackling the city streets or a winding country road, the agile chassis of the Proton Suprima S Standard delivers an incomparable driving experience and enjoyment behind the wheel.”

The Suprima S Standard, among others is fitted with 16-inch alloy wheels, 2-din radio with CD player and MP3 with USB connection without touchscreen, power steering, manual side mirror control, side turn signal integrated with side mirror and dual airbags.

The model is available in five colours; Tranquility Black, Solid White, Genetic Silver, Atlantic Blue and Fire Red. The Suprima S Standard comes with a five-year or 150,000km manufacturer warranty (whichever comes first).

Those who are interested can place an order at all Proton showrooms in the Peninsular with a booking fee of only RM300. For customers living in East Malaysia, the new variant will be made available at showrooms starting 18 December 2014.
