Proton Gen•2

Background

Powered by the 1.6 litre CamPro CPS, the Gen•2 was an evolution of the 'aeroback' design made popular by the Proton Wira.

It also underscored a new direction for our brand. Bold, confident and powerful.

SLEEK SURPRISES

Sleek is how we like to describe the Gen•2. An affirmation of a new step in local design, the car embraced sweeping lines and curves like no other Proton before it. And with a new CamPro CPS engine that would power it to new heights, the car was assured a special place in the hearts of Proton fans everywhere.

 
 
 
 

What others say / Paul Tan

"Launched way back in February 2004, this should be the Gen•2's final flourish, unless of course PROTON decides to give it one last push with something force inducted under the engine hood."


What others say / Asian Auto

"All in all, Gen•2 exterior designer Damian Chia did a swell job in coming out with a design that bodes well for the badge."
