The Proton Perdana is a mid-size car produced by Proton. It is a "badge engineered version of the 7th-generation Mitsubishi Eterna and is currently Proton's flagship. Unfortunately, at that time Eterna was not a very popular Mitsubishi model in Japan. But the sales boomed up after a while Proton Perdana came out into the industry.
The car is Proton's first to offer an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and cruise control.
The Perdana was first introduced in 1995 with Mitsubishi's proven 2.0 L 4G63 engine. In 1997, it was facelifted with a chrome grill, a new rim design and new colours and interior trim.
In 1999, Proton shoehorned a 2.0 L 6A12 V6 engine (also sourced by Mitsubishi) into the Perdana. The so-called Perdana V6 also had a new bodykit and 16" rims. The original Perdana soldiered on for a short while before it was dropped.
In 2004, the Perdana V6 was given a major facelift, gaining a new Alfa Romeo-esque front grill and new bumpers. Inside, it was given a new aluminium-effect trim.
A replacement for the current Perdana model is expected in 2007, possibly based on the Australian Mitsubishi 380, itself a modified Galant.
This car was not exported to Europe.
