Exterior Design
The exterior of the Proton Wira 2001 is characterized by a distinct front grille with the Proton badge, body-colored bumpers, side mirrors, and door handles. The sedan measures 4360 mm in length, with a width of 1690 mm and a height of around 1385 mm. The car features 14-inch or 15-inch wheels, ventilated disc brakes up front, and drum brakes at the rear. The rear design includes a subtle spoiler, giving it a slightly sporty look, and a large rear windshield with a wiper. The ground clearance is 135 mm, which is lower than average for sedans, so caution is needed on rough roads. The Wira is available in both four-door sedan and five-door liftback versions.
