Proton seemed to strengthening its presence in the industry of local automotive model and will soon display a copy of Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 GT version in its upgrade. Based on nearest source, the Mitsubishi will be featured via Malaysian’s all time favorite Waja. The expectation is to have cosmetic changes for both interior and exterior compared to the Lancer 2.0 GT.
The “Lancerized-Waja” will use slightly lower capacity engine which will be a 1.8L with internal components using local product suppliers. This is to ensure that the model is made affordable for the local market which is hitting more competitive price ranges. The source further explained that the new production model with 1.8 liter powered engine is viewed to be the best catalyst for companies in the automotive industry. There seems to be a need to change design to meet and suit the younger generation’s needs.
With the strong support from MMC, Proton may not necessarily get into challenges in meeting demand. Furthermore, the Waja replacement model will be installed in the same factory; Shah Alam, Selangot or Tanjung Malim, Perak.
At the moment, the Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 GT model that is fully imported (CBU) from Japan, is priced at RM120598.10 without insurance in this country and is distributed by Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia Ltd. MMC is a technical partner and shareholder of Proton when founded in 1983 until the national car manufacturer Proton releases their first car in 1985. The new Waja is expected to be RM10k more expensive that the current Waja that’s being sold in the market. But nothing seems to be firmed up yet in terms of exact value.
Now for the most anticipated question – How would the new Lancerized-Waja look like? Guess we need to wait for the actual one to be out on the road!
