Proton Savvy (Malaysia, 2005)

Produced by Malaysian car manufacturer Proton, the Savvy is a supermini hatchback introduced in June 2005 as a successor to Proton Tiara.

After discontinuing the Citroën AX-based Tiara in 2000, Proton needed a replacement model to reenter the supermini market. Originally codenamed the Tiara Replacement Model, the Savvy was partially designed in-house by Proton but is powered by a D-Type engine by Renault.

The Savvy is also notable for being the first Proton car to undergo the first ever publicly-announced recall on April 2008.
