Spied: Proton Iriz Facelift Bares Rear End

Ever since photos of the purported Proton Iriz facelift surfaced, folks were curious about the design of the updated model.

Well, fret not, as our friends over at Automachi recently posted a spyshot of the upcoming Proton B-segment hatchback.

From the photo, the rear end of the updated Iriz receives a black trim that connects both tail lights with the Proton wording located right smack in the centre. Also new is the rear bumper, now with a more intricate design than the outgoing model. The reflectors have been moved upwards, with small inserts at each end of the bumper. A large black trim/diffuser piece help complete the rear end of the new Iriz.

The spyshot also shows the new 10-spoke alloy wheel design of the Iriz, replacing the twin 5-spoke design of the outgoing model.

In terms of powertrain, the updated Iriz is expected to carry over the existing engines and transmissions, including the 1.3- and 1.6-litre VVT engines mated to either a Punch-sourced CVT-type automatic or five-speed manual transmissions.
