Key Highlights
Overview
The Proton Iriz is dubbed to be a game changer for the national carmaker. It was developed new from ground up with the aim to be sold worldwide. This locally built B-segment hatch competes with cars like the Perodua Myvi, Honda Jazz, Kia Rio, Ford Fiesta Sport, Mazda 2 Hatchback, and Peugeot 208 Puretech. Offered with two engine options, the car is priced between RM42,397 and RM 56,950.
As previously mentioned, two engines are available for customers to choose from. Both were developed specially for the Proton Iriz. The entry level naturally aspirated 1.3-litre four-cylinder engine outputs a modest 94 bhp and 120 Nm of torque. The higher displacement 1.6-litre mill, on the other hand, develops 107 bhp at 5,750rpm and 150 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. The CVT automatic is available in both engine capacities. However, if you would like to shift the gears on your own, you are only limited to the 1.3 Standard variant.
As practiced in all new Proton models, the Iriz has standard fitment of ESC with hill start assist across the range.
A minor update of the Iriz in 2017 added new refinements developed for the Persona sedan that included improved CVT calibration and a switch from four- to three-point engine mounts. A streamlined range now offers only four variants - 1.3 Standard manual and CVT, 1.3 Executive CVT, and 1.6 Premium CVT.
The Premium CVT also looks much sportier, with its gloss black treatment on the roof, door mirrors and front grille, full bodykit in dual-tone colour, a larger rear spoiler and sporty front seats in combination leather covering.
The basic warranty coverage for Proton vehicles is 5 years or 150,000-kilometre mileage, whichever occurs first.

Review: New Proton Iriz 1.6L Premium CVT – Changes Where It Matters
On the inside changes are more subtle; the most notable highlight is the new analogue meter cluster with an LCD multi-information display. There’s also the seven-inch infotainment unit with the "Hi Proton" voice command. However, unlike the X70's more advanced system that can control the sunroof, windows, and air-conditioning, the Iriz’s unit is limited to music, weather forecast, and navigation features.

2017 Proton Iriz - Better Than Before
The Proton Iriz is no stranger to us. The car was launched back in 2014 and we have sampled the Iriz in various guises. From the Iriz, Proton developed the all-new Persona, and the company has implemented knowledge gained from the Persona back to the Iriz.
