Proton Inspira

The Proton Inspira^[1], or previously referred to as Proton New Sedan^[2], or codenamed P3-90A^[3] is an automobile produced byProton as the successor to the Proton Waja. The Compact car is essentially a rebadged 9th generation (and current) Mitsubishi Lancer.

To be able to do so, Proton renewed a technological transfer agreement with Mitsubishi Motors^[4], an agreement that in the mid-1980s was fundamental to Proton's origins. Proton's inagural model in September 1985, the Proton Saga, was based largely on the 4th generation, and then-current, Mitsubishi Lancer.

Three variants of the Inspira will be produced at Proton's Shah Alam plant: 1.8-litre Manual, 1.8-litre CVT Automatic and 2.0-litre CVT Automatic, with a price range of RM78,999, RM 84,999 and RM 91,999 respectively. ^[5]
