The Proton Wira, whose name means hero in Malay, was a car built by the Malaysian maker Proton from 1993 to 2009. It was based on the fourth-generation Mitsubishi Lancer and was sold as a four-door saloon and, from October 1993, as a five-door hatchback first badged Wira Aeroback. It was the second model of the company after the Saga, and it became its most widely exported car, reaching more than seventy countries and being the first Proton assembled outside Malaysia, in Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Iran. Its Mitsubishi petrol engines ranged from 1.3 to 1.8 litres, and it remains the only Proton ever offered with a diesel engine. Lotus tuned the suspension from 2001, and the Persona and Gen-2 replaced it.
