THE CAR

It was during the year 1995, where it has been two years since Proton launched and started their production of new generation sedan named the Proton Wira which is a rebadged production of Japanese Auto-Maker Mitsubishi's Lancer. The Wira, being one of the best production cars produce by the Proton's tech-transfer productions with Mitsubishi, was quite a success as the sales growth with the well acceptance by the local and also foreign market.

Following the success of the Proton Wira, Proton finally decided to launch a similar design model to the Wira models. Being 3 doors, shorter wheel base, nippy engine response, and more sportier image, it was named the Proton Satria.

The name Satria derived from the Malay word of the same spelling which means Warrior. Why Warrior? As some might wonder but at SPOC, we will only be wondering Why Not?
