A period print advertisement for the Proton Tiara, dating from 1997. Tan Sri had expressed that he wished Proton to be independent of Mitsubishi bases, and wished to cooperate with Peugeot on getting access to its diesel engines.
The Tiara was known as the crapiest Malaysian car in its market, but was hardly the cheapest. Price wise it was more expensive than the Mitsubishi derived 1.3 litre Proton Iswara and Daihatsu derived models of Perodua. At the same time reliability was typically French not Japanese. Although it sold in small numbers, it was the most common car to be seen stalled along the PLUS highways.
Its appearance followed that of more powerful AXs, such as the AX GT, but the grille was markedly different. Unlike the AX GT, it was available with a 1.1 litre 45 kW engine.
No further Peugeot-Citroën-based models were launched after the Tiara. Tan Sri was killed in a helicopter crash in 1997 and Proton continued with various Mitsubishi-based or Lotus designed models. However the Lotus designed Proton Impian can be optioned with a 1.8 litre Renault engine, and there is now rumours that the TRM will be equiped with VW german power plants.
