Proton Wira - Generation 1 (1995-2000)
PROTON WIRA (1995-2000)
Basically a licensed copy of the Mitsubishi Lancer, the Proton Wira is different from its dashboard and some exterior details. Engines are similar but they are EFi powered. No thanks to poor sales after the Asian financial crisis and brand stigma, it was discontinued in 2000.
