Proton Iriz enters Indonesia

Proton Holdings Bhd, via its Indonesian unit, PT PROTON Edar Indonesia (PEI), has launched its latest hatchback vehicle, the Proton Iriz in several cities in the republic.

In a statement Saturday, Chief Executive Officer Datuk Ahmad Fuaad Kenali said Indonesia is an important market for the national carmaker.

"Not only have we maintained strong government-to-government relations being ASEAN founding members, but we also share many similarities in terms of people, language, culture as well as the weather," he said.

Ahmad Fuaad said Indonesia is the second country after Brunei to import the vehicle.

He said two variants have been made available to the Indonesian market, namely the 1.3L MT Standard and 1.3L CVT Standard, priced at IDR 175,250,000 and IDR185,283,000, respectively (RM1=IDR 2996.52).

The PEI is supported by a total of 25 sales and after sales outlets in Indonesia, and locals can get up close and personal with the Proton Iriz in all the sales outlets from Feb 20.

Since its debut, the Proton Iriz has received many awards and accolades from the automotive industry in Malaysia. Among them, is a 5-Star rating from the ASEAN New Car Assessment Programme.

Interested customers can visit any of the dealers at their showrooms across Indonesia or visit the PEI website at www.proton-edar.co.id.--Bernama
