“Additionally, the driving experience was also important – and with the turbo engine and driving dynamics that is enhanced with LOTUS Ride and Handling, as with all our models – the customer is ensured enjoyment behind the wheel every time.”
The Proton Suprima S also comes with 7-spoke, 17-inch rims and a 7-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation system, full leather seats, Push Start Button, paddle shifts, and auto cruise, amongst many other features.
“With everything that the hatchback has to offer, we are confident that the Suprima S will be well received in Brunei, as will the other future Proton models that we plan to launch in Malaysia and our Export countries. We have been here in Brunei for 26 years, and we look forward strengthening the Brand. Together with the support from our United Motors here, PROTON will continue to grow as a brand recognised for producing safe and quality cars that are value for money.”
