We've just returned from testing the Proton Iriz in Penang, and our usual comprehensive review will be available soon. In the meantime, we have prepared an in-depth spec-by-spec comparison of the four different trim levels on sale for your viewing pleasure.

First, the prices – the 1.3 litre Standard model kicks off the Iriz range at RM42,438 for the manual and RM45,438 for the CVT. Next up, the 1.3 Executive at RM46,438 for the manual and RM49,438 for the CVT. Moving up to the larger 1.6 litre engine, the Executive goes for RM53,438 for the manual and RM56,438 for the CVT, while the top-of-the-range Premium retails at RM59,438 for the manual and RM62,438 for the CVT.
