Considering buying a Proton Persona? Don't miss this fuel consumption guide!
LienOct 17, 2024, 04:22 PM
There are currently three Proton Persona models available on the market, with a price range of RM 47,800-58,300. It is positioned as a B-segment sedan and offers a warranty policy of 5 years / 150,000 km upon purchase. The official Fuel Consumption is 6.6-8.1L/100km.
2023 Proton Persona 1.6 Standard CVT: RM 47,800
2023 Proton Persona 1.6 Executive CVT: RM 53,300
2023 Proton Persona 1.6 Premium CVT: RM 58,300
How fuel-efficient is Proton Persona?
The fuel efficiency of Proton Persona is notable among vehicles in its segment. According to data provided by Mazda official, the Fuel Consumption is between 6.6-8.1L/100km. Actual user experiences show that the fuel efficiency of Proton Persona is acceptable, with an average fuel consumption of about 8.3L/100km in city driving, and even lower on highways.
How is fuel efficiency evolving in Proton Persona models?
Proton Persona currently has three generations of models, updated in 2023, 2021, and 2019 respectively. According to test results, the average fuel consumption of the 2021 Proton Persona is 8.15 liters/100 kilometers, about a 4% improvement compared to the 8.4L/100km of the 2019 model.
It's worth mentioning that Proton claims to improve fuel efficiency through software updates, including a new Eco mode and Neutral Idle Control (NIC). Under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) test environment, Proton Persona's Fuel Consumption decreases by approximately 10%.
What is the fuel tank capacity of Proton Persona?
According to official data, the fuel tank capacity of Proton Persona is 40L. If calculated based on the highest official Fuel Consumption of 8.1L/100km, this means that Proton Persona can achieve a cruising range of about 500km when the tank is full.
As a B-Segment sedan, such fuel tank capacity mileage can basically cover daily needs. As the positioning of the Proton Persona model itself is relatively small, an overly large fuel tank capacity may lead to an overweight body, which may affect the driving experience.
What is the solution to high fuel consumption?
Although the Proton Persona models are relatively fuel efficient, with the Malaysian government's possible cancellation of the fuel subsidy policy at any time, considering the car costs brought by fuel is still a worthwhile issue to think about. The following will be divided into two perspectives of car manufacturers and consumers to think about and propose solutions.
For Proton Persona car manufacturers, the main way to reduce fuel consumption is to reduce the resistance and engine conversion efficiency during the driving process. This can be achieved by using lightweight materials to reduce body weight and thereby reduce rolling resistance, or by improving the body shape design to reduce air resistance, or by improving engine design to enhance conversion efficiency.
For consumers, the main way to reduce fuel consumption lies in daily driving and car maintenance. Consumers can reduce fuel consumption by driving reasonably to avoid sudden acceleration and sudden braking. They also need to reduce unnecessary loads, because high load means extra resistance for the car. Also worth noting is car maintenance and upkeep, ensuring the engine, emission system, and all moving parts are in good working condition, including correct tire inflation and timely oil changes, and avoid long periods of idle which results in a lot of fuel consumption.

BYD Sealion 7 Common Issues: Must-Read Before Buying
BYD Sealion 7 is a highly mature product, with most of its exposed issues being "minor flaws" in software adaptation and craftsmanship details. With iterations of OTA updates and the accumulation of experience in electronic fault diagnostics within the after-sales service network, these problems are expected to improve in the future.
BYD said that the Japanese government discriminates, giving Toyota, Tesla, and other competitors more subsidies.
With the Japanese government's official implementation of the 2026 "Clean Energy Vehicle Subsidy Program" (CEV Subsidy Program), the subsidy amount received by BYD models has formed a huge gap compared to other local brands. After factoring in subsidies, the originally higher-priced Toyota bZ4X is even cheaper than the BYD Atto 3, causing BYD to lose its pricing advantage in the local market.
