Proton Persona Black Edition launched – Quartz Black paint, gold accents, just 500 units available, RM54,700 18 February 2021 11:15 am / 20 comments Continuing with the barrage of Proton special edition models being launched today, the Persona Black Edition is a relatively subdued version of the affordable B-segment sedan, limited to just 500 units. As the name suggests, the inky hue is the name of the game here, set off by some contrasting gold accents. Based on the range-topping 1.6 Premium CVT variant, the Black Edition is priced at RM54,700 on-the-road without insurance, RM1,000 more than the standard model. That’s with the sales and service tax (SST) exemption – when the tax is reintroduced on July 1, pricing will go up by RM900 to RM55,600. As usual, the car is covered by a five-year/150,000 km warranty.
