For the Brunei market, the Persona is sold in the 1.6L Executive CVT variant while the Saga has 2 variants, the 1.3L Executive CVT and 1.3L Premium CVT.

“We are pleased that the Persona and Saga, which are very well received in Malaysia, have generated the interest of the consumers in Brunei. The all-new Persona has evolved significantly in terms of the features, advanced technology, design and built including a more refined ride and handling as well as reduced noise vibration and harshness (NVH). For its class, it is really a pleasure to drive the all-new Persona,” said Dato’ Fuaad.

“Both the Persona and Saga are well designed cars which are good value for money – affordable, safe and with practical features. These cars are equipped with excellent active and passive safety features and are rated 5-star and 4-star ASEAN NCAP rating for the Persona and Saga respectively,” added Dato’ Fuaad.

Brunei might be a relatively small market but every car sold helps Proton in its growth.

PAD Motors Sdn Bhd has a new showroom in at Unit 1-4, Complex Beribi, Spg. 607-17, Jalan Gadong BE1118, Brunei Darussalam.
