Proton via its subsidiary in Indonesia, PT Proton Edar Indonesia (PEI), has launched the Proton Iriz. Showcased at the FX Sudirman Mall (aka FX Mall), it will continue to be on display till 22 February 2017.
Indonesia is only the second country after Brunei to import the Iriz supermini. The fun-to-drive, fun-sized hatch boasts signature Proton ride and handling, and a host of safety features.
Two variants are offered in the Indonesian market – the 1.3L MT Standard and the 1.3L CVT Standard, priced at IDR175,250,000 and IDR185,283,000 respectively.
The Iriz has the distinction of being the only compact hatchback below IDR350 million to be equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC). In addition, it boasts ABS with EBD, brake assist, hill hold assist (HHA) and seat belt reminder (SBR) system – features usually found only in higher-end premium cars.
Active and passive safety features aside, the car chassis uses Hot Press Forming (HPF) steel technology from Germany to increase the rigidity of the car. HPD steels is 5x stronger than normal steel, increasing body rigidity that strengthens the car cabin.
