At the ongoing 2015 International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia (IGEM), Proton is showcasing the Iriz EV prototype, which it first showed in South Korea last October. The Iriz EV is capable of running from 0-100 km/h in under 9 seconds with a top-speed of 150 km/h. According to several reports, the Iriz EV could see the light of day towards 2017, as Malaysia Automotive Institute says the country will produce two electric vehicles by 2017. If launched, the Iriz EV is expected to cost under 100,000 RM (INR 15.4 lakhs). Speaking about the Iriz EV, it features a permanent magnet AC synchronous motor churning 155 hp and 360 Nm of torque. This enables for a 0-100 km/h dash in under 9 seconds and a top-speed of 150 km/h. The battery gets its power from a 39.6 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery with a 50 kW fast charging system or a 6.6 kW normal charging system. Thanks to an underfloor mounted battery, there is no compromise on space in the cabin or boot. Using a fast charger, it takes only 15 minutes to charge the battery to full from 40 percent; the same takes 4 hours with a public charger and 7 hours with a standard three-pin point. The Iriz EV has an NEDC-based range of 300 km, beating the Nissan Leaf’s 200 km range. There is no intrusion to the passenger or luggage compartment as the battery is mounted under the floor. At 1,380 kg, the Iriz EV is only 195 kg heavier than a standard gasoline-powered Iriz with a CVT.

The Proton Iriz EV is currently on display at the 2015 International Greentech & Eco Products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia (IGEM). While the exterior looks familiar, the Iriz EV is a totally different car underneath. Powering the car is a permanent magnet AC synchronous electric motor that puts out the equivalent of 116 kW (155 hp) and 360 Nm of torque – the motor is juiced up by an LG-developed 39.6 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery. This allows for a 0-100 km/h time of less than nine seconds and a top speed of 150 km/h. Other details in which the spec sheet lists is a 50 kW fast charging and a 6.6 kW normal charging system. A 7.23 ratio for the single-speed transmission is also noted. According to Proton, the battery can be charged from 40% to full in just 15 minutes with a fast charger, four hours with a public charger and seven hours with a standard three-pin plug. While it was previously claimed that the Iriz EV had a better range than the Nissan Leaf (240 km versus 200 km touted by the latter), Proton now says that it can cover more ground than that – a NEDC cycle-based operational range of around 300 km is mentioned. An impressive figure considering that the car weighs in at 1,380 kg – 195 kg heavier than the standard Iriz 1.6 Premium CVT (1,185 kg). Elsewhere, the underfloor-mounted battery means that interior space has not been compromised – the car even retains its spare tyre under the boot floor. The gearknob is now a small, stumpy item that appears to have been nicked off a third-gen Toyota Prius, and there’s now a digital instrument display showing the speed, charge status, power used/regenerative braking applied and even the battery temperature. Back in October 2014, it was revealed by Malaysia Automotive Institute (MAI) CEO, Madani Sahari, that one of the two proposed Malaysian-developed electric vehicles could be sold for under RM100k when it hits the market. If all goes according to plan, the Iriz EV could be officially introduced by the end of 2016/early 2017.
