Proton has unveiled that Proton Inspira will be the official name for its Proton Waja replacement model, which has until now been only referred to by its internal codename, the Proton P3-90A.
The Proton Inspira is developed from a Mitsubishi Lancer with the choice of a Mitsubishi’s 4B10 1.8 litre engine with a 5-speed manual, a Mitsubishi 4B10 1.8 litre engine with a 6-speed virtual ratio CVT gearbox, or a top of the range 2.0 litre 4B11 engine with the same CVT transmission with added steering column paddle shifters.
At launch, the Inspira will have about 26% local content at launch, with the aim of raising it to 40% within the next few months and straight up to 65% within a year from the launch date once the local vendors have been fully prepped. It is built at Proton’s MVF plant.
Available in red, white, black or silver, the new Proton Inspira is now open for booking at any Proton dealer with a deposit of RM1,000. As an appreciation to early birds, Proton will be offering a 2 year (50,000km) free service package worth RM1,658 including parts and labor to those who take delivery of their brand new Proton Inspira for bookings made by the 15th of November 2010 that are delivered before the 31st of December 2010.
The tentative pricing starts from RM79,888 OTR for the 1.8 manual up to not more than RM95k for the top of the line. The 1.8 CVT will be somewhere in the middle. The official pricing will be unveiled at the official launch by the 10th of November 2010.
The photos above and after the jump provided by Proton is the only thing we can show you for now as there is an embargo that we must respect and official images will only be provided closer to the launch date in early November 2010.
Has anyone booked the Inspira yet? Be sure to read our first drive impressions!
AD: Drive the Proton model of your dreams. Submit your details and Proton PJ will get in touch with you.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express mixed sentiments on the Proton Inspira, highlighting its rebadged Mitsubishi origin with some criticizing the high price, which is considered expensive for a local car. Many lament the lack of originality, quality concerns, and safety features, while others support the move as a strategic way for Proton to meet market demands and focus on core models. Enthusiasts are excited about the Lotus-tuned handling and the affordability of a C-segment vehicle, but there is concern over long-term reliability and local vendor quality. Several comments suggest waiting for more updates, better features, and lower prices. Overall, the feedback blends support for Proton's efforts with skepticism over the value for money, safety, and the implications of rebadging for Malaysia's automotive industry and national pride.
