Update: We have received this photo from kdi reader and this is the real chasis of Proton MPV viewed during Proton Tech Week
Proton MPV and Proton MSX
Confirmed! Proton will soon produce their Proton Mpv. They had revealed their mpv at the Proton Technology Week Open Day. But they only showed the chassis of the proton mpv and also the interior of the mpv.
If you’ve read our article before this about the coming proton MPV 2009 at http://kereta.info/penuh-kontroversi-proton-mpv-baru-realiti-atau-khabar-angin , you’ll about to know the reality and the truth about the Proton MPV here.
The chassis of the MPV is laid in a corner of the hall where the interior of the mpv is inside a cubicle where we have to peek into a tiny peeking-hole.We’ve tried to take some photo of the chassis and the interior but Photography was prohibited in the hall. But the chassis is REALLY the same as what already leaked in the TV3’s buletin utama.
Basically, the mitos of another mpv shape that going to be the proton MPV now become clearer. IT IS ACTUALLY BASE ON THE CHERY MPV! Yes. If you take a look at the chassis at the proton technology week last saturday and sunday, you will see the same shape and size. But this time, proton will modify it to be in their own exterior and interior design based on that chery v5. As you see in the picture from tv3 bulletin utama below
The proton MPV rides on a 2800 mm (110.2-in.) long platform. Main dimensions are: 4662 x 1820 x 1590 mm (183.5 x 71.6 x 62.6-in.).
The conclusion is : YES! The picture leaked from Bulletin Utama TV3 above is the real Proton MPV!
Real & Interesting Fact About Proton MSX – The Proton SUV concept car!
Another thing confirmed is the new mpv wont be the same as the Lotus APX as the design is actually another concept car from Proton named Proton MSX which is actually the LOTUS APX itself.
The proton MSX is a 7 seater SUV concept car powered by a 3.0 liter V6 engine.
As Proton said,the purpose of the PROTON MSX is to produce a high technology ‘Jekyll & Hyde’ dual image, high performance crossover.It is actually a technology showcase of aluminiun adaptable platform,ride & handling,engine power and crossover functions of suv and sports car.
The target user group of the PROTON MSX is for successful professionals with young-at-heart lifestyle.The typical usage of the mpv is for leisure and work.And to attract all the businessmen, corporate leaders or celebrities,they had emphasize on 6 different aspect of the car which is the style,the engine and performance,the technology behind it,the ride and handling,the quality and also the ride comfort.
With only a Naturally Aspirated 3.0 V6 engine,They had manage to churned out a hefty 224KW of power and 360Nm of torque.With a 0-100 time of 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 250kmh, the proton already beaten up some of the top notch SUV such as the Porsche Cayenne S,BMW X6 35i and the Nissan Murano.
The Technical Specification Of the SUV
ENGINE : 3.0L V6
MAX POWER : 224kW
MAX TORQUE : 360Nm

If you look into the interior, you will see that it is actually a 7 seater SUV even if you think that the SUV could not filled with 7 passenger from outside. Amazing? Its the concept model of Proton 7 seater SUV. So? No confuse after this. The Proton/Lotus MSX is different with Proton MPV.
Just wait for the Malaysia’s first MPV, the Proton MPV to be in Malaysia Car Market on 2009 with the price of the Proton MPV around RM90,ooo.
wow…….
cam kenal jek gambar tuh…. hehehehe…. keep posting man….. yeah
gambar tu mesti dari mamat paling macho.. memang style ar.. ada gaya jaguh. haha
kenapa cermin belakang tak bergitu menarik?
Tahniah… lagi satu keluaran proton…. Engine mantap, barulah kita dapat memaksimumkan kemampuan Campro. Akhirnya pembelian Lotus berbaloi. Tahniah sekali lagi.
Tapi kenapa ciplak design Toyota Will..??? Tak cukup ker kemampuan designer tempatan….!!! come on proton… Get Out From Your “TEMPURUNG….!!!”
komen u all oklah.but.pd aku if u all perhatikan betul2 dari bhg tgh to hujung hadapan ianya jauh berbeza dgn model chery tu. jgn tengok based on rear wheel arche and tingkap belakang sekali.mpv proton ni ada value tersendirilah beb.
yup. stuju tu. memang proton mpv ada nilai tersendiri. Sure proton akan buat lain dari yang lain. xkan dorang nak ulang kesilapan n kelemahan dulu. lagipun skarang ni proton dah menunjukkan peningkatan dari segi kejayaan design kereta sendiri sperti model gen2 dan savvy. dan sy pasti kereta ni pasti menarik perhatian rakyat malaysia. =)
@ fleetjr
Design ni tak ciplak Toyota Will pun. Cuba google Lotus APX. Beritahu saya siapa ciplak siapa.
@ jar
Mmg jauh berbeza dgn chery sbb tak sama pun. Ia dikatakan meniru chasis Chery bukan Design.
@kdi
Bagus, mmg bagus. Tapi pada saya, proton hanya berjaya mencari Enjin 3.0 Liter dan memasukkan kedalam engine bay Lotus APX.
p/s: Tapi dengar dari sumber yg boleh dipercaya, Proton MPV bukanlah seperti gambar MSX di atas. Tapi tak tahulah.
Yup. memang proton MPV bukan Proton MSX. Kenyataan dalam artikel ni mengatakan proton MSX itu sebenarnya adalah SUV concept car dari proton. Bukan Proton MPV. Proton MPV adalah gambar yang dah “leaked” dari buletin utama tv3 tu.
cun la msx ni… skali imbas belakang mcm toyota cardina pun ada..

proton buat kerete bkn nk bg org pakai ar..

proton buat kereta untuk dipasarkan.kalo tak memenuhi citarasa pengguna ,sape yg nak beli.so, of course la proton buat kereta untuk org pakai.klo ckp pasal untung pulak.takde org yg berniaga tanak untung,sedangkan 9/10 dr punca rezki adalah daripada perniagaan.positive mind k :)
congratulation proton!
as a malaysian i’m fully supported our brand. always looking something on the positive perspectives and never underestimate our own fellow friends in proton because nothing is easy in creating something new. i think what ever the rumors came out lately, i know proton gave their 100% effort on this mpv and purely Inspired from Proton intelligence, ingenuity and experiences for an elegent and trendy first home-grown MPV.

Lotus Purchased by Proton
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 (Reuter)
Malaysian national carmaker Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Bhd (Proton) and its key shareholder Yahaya Ahmad has bought an 80 percent stake in British sports car maker Group Lotus Ltd.
The national Bernama news agency quoted a Proton statement as saying on Wednesday that the deal was valued at 51 million pounds. Bernama said Proton bought a 63.75 percent stake or 6.375 million Lotus shares for 38 million pounds.
Yahaya acquired 16.25 percent or 1.625 million shares for 13 million pounds. At the same time, Proton would lend Lotus 13 million pounds at a rate of 1.5 percent per annum over the Midland Bank Base Rate ruling, from day to day for a one-year period. The agency quoted the Proton statement as saying that its acquisition of Lotus would be funded with internally generated funds. Proton said the acquisition was subject to Bank Negara approval for investments abroad but not subject to shareholders’ approval.
“The acquisition would, therefore, avail Proton ready access to research and development capability, thus, saving on financial resources, time and manpower,” Proton said. The statement confirmed market speculation that Proton was seeking to take a majority stake in the British car maker.
Lotus was taken over by General Motors Corp in 1986, and then piled up losses of 50 million pounds in the five years before its sale in 1993 to Bugatti International.
On Wednesday, South Korea’s Daewoo Motor Co Ltd, a unit of Daewoo Group, said it has shelved plans to buy a stake in Lotus after an earlier bid.
kawan setuju ngan metalique.. yang mengutuk proton tu tolonglah banyakkan membaca ye…
skolah x abis.. pastu nak jadi basher….. go to hell la….
Proton the only true Malaysia Car Manufacturer. Well done proton.

lastx org dh order kereta x juga siapx berbulanx planggan tggu ade yg smpi hilang mood….mood planggan kena juga jaga
Tahniah Proton keluar MPV Baru! Sebenarnya aku bangga bila drive kereta Proton, tapi cukuplah sekali bila pengalaman yang tidak diduga terjadi. Malah Waja Auto aku ni pun masih lagi ada warranty. Bukan tak patriotik, bukan tak sokong tapi bila jadi begini, menyesal pun tak guna. Nak trade in harga dah jatuh… Jadi terpaksalah dirive bersama enjin yang agak kasar bunyinyer sampai ke dalam. malah service advisor proton kat tepi highway shah alam pun dah bosan layan aku… bagi alasan itu kerektor enjin campro. Dari masalah tingkap tak naik, bonet belakang, air cond bising, under power, blower aircond, motor wiper … macam macam – sekarang pulak enjin ada extra sound sampai ke dalam… Aku dah letih amik cuti dan buang masa! Setiap kali ke pusat service tu, aku simpan semua resit sebagai rujukan. Bukan nak kutuk tapi realiti!
Aku ingat aku jer bermasalah tapi … ramai yang cakap perkara yang sama. Proton is a good name but vendor vendor yang bermasalah supply barang tak berkualiti. Siapa yang bertanggung jawab? Siapa yang menanggung masalah?
hurmmm brape arge kereta proton msx tu??
Jom, kita mulakan lagi satu round NAME THE NEW PROTON SUV: PROTON MSX. Nie kan forum kita sendri. Noe need to wait until Proton to umumkan.
I start dulu: PROTON MSX 3.OL V6: PROTON TERRA
Suprise, just vote to Proton…
Waja2007
Aku simpati kat ko, apa2 pun ko dah cuba sedaya mungkin… okey yg aku boleh bantu, tang enjin bising masuk kedalam cuba pasang cover asbestos (silencer) pada bonet penutup enjin, mungkin boleh kurangkan desiran enjin tu, pastikan pasang sampai kedinding casis. Keduanya buat tuning valve balik.
Tentang power kurang tuh, kalau bukan sebab clutch plate, cuba buat tuning komputer kat mana2 pusat service yg baik. yang aku tahu kat selayang (intan Baiduri) owner dia bekas engineer F1 kat sepang, so its happen masa aku buat tuning dia ada, so dia bikin baik punya, tah ape dia tekan kat komputer tu, dia kata ada function2 dalam sistem enjin aku belum diaktifkan sebab enjin masa tu baru lepas running in. So lepas dia aktifkan , pickup baik punya. Cuba lah dulu buat.
