The Proton Suprima S, codenamed P3-22A is a five-door compact hatchback in development by Malaysian automobile manufacturer Proton. It is scheduled for an August 2013 launch and will complement the Proton Prevé saloon.
The Suprima S is based on Proton's next generation P2 platform and will
be designed with a larger emphasis on international markets.The Proton P3-22A has been in development alongside its sister car, the Proton Prevé, then code named Proton P3-21A since 2009. The first spyshot of a P3-22A prototype, taken on 14 December 2012 received high publicity from local online media.Although heavily masked, the prototype revealed that the majority of
exterior panels and features with the exception of the area to the rear
of the C-pillar
have been carried over from the Prevé. 8 days later, another different
prototype was sighted, revealing larger seven-spoke alloy rims, compared
to the 16-inch ten-spoke alloy rims of the Prevé.The most revealing of all spyshots to date were taken on 30 July 2013 during the P3-22A's TVC shoot in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
In addition to the fully redesigned rear and aforementioned features,
the photos clearly display a revised honeycomb front grille and foglight
housings, brighter LED DRLs and a reverse camera.
