Proton has taken the conservative route to the BLM’s styling as it has to have a huge mass appeal, and being safe is always a good idea when it comes to designing a car for volume sales, just look at Toyota’s design language.It looks like a nice, compact and anonymous-looking small B-segment sedan , with a boot that looks like it could store an estimated 400 to 450 liters of luggage.
