What engine is in the Proton Satria?

As a classic hatchback model of Proton, the national brand of Malaysia, the Proton Satria has been equipped with various engine configurations to meet the needs of different markets. Early models like the Satria 1.3L (1994 - 2005) were powered by a 4G13P single overhead camshaft (SOHC) 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine, with a maximum horsepower of 82 hp. The Satria 1.6L, on the other hand, used a 4G92P SOHC 1.6-liter engine, outputting 103 hp, which was suitable for daily driving needs. In 2006, the Satria Neo was launched with an upgrade to the CamPro series of engines. The base version was equipped with a 1.3L CamPro IAFM (outputting 94 hp/120 Nm), and the performance-oriented 1.6L CamPro IAFM (110 hp/148 Nm) optimized fuel economy. It's particularly worth mentioning that the limited-edition Satria Neo R3 used a 1.6L CamPro CPS (143 hp/165 Nm), which enhanced power performance through variable valve technology. In addition, during Proton's cooperation with Mitsubishi, the Satria GTI was introduced, equipped with a 4G93T 1.8-liter turbocharged engine (140 hp/191 Nm), becoming the performance benchmark at that time. Regarding engine technology, the CamPro series uses an aluminum alloy cylinder block to reduce weight, and the IAFM (Intelligent Air-Fuel Management System) can automatically adjust the intake efficiency according to the engine speed. This kind of technology is particularly important for engine heat dissipation and fuel adaptability in Malaysia's hot climate. Car owners should pay attention to regularly replacing the coolant and using engine oil with the appropriate viscosity to maintain engine performance.
