What is a Supermini Car?
A supermini car is a type of small car. It is bigger than a city car but smaller than a compact car. These cars are often called "subcompact" in places like the United States. They are great for daily commutes and for people who need a car that is good on fuel.
Design and Features
The Proton Savvy had a modern look for its time. It was a 5-door hatchback, which means it had four passenger doors and a large door at the back for cargo. The car was powered by a 1.2-liter engine. This engine was made by the French company Renault. It was designed to be efficient and reliable.
The Savvy also featured an Automated Manual Transmission (AMT). This type of gearbox can shift gears automatically, like an automatic car. However, it works more like a manual gearbox inside. This can offer a good balance between fuel efficiency and ease of driving.
Where the Savvy Was Made
The Proton Savvy was built in Malaysia. The main factory was located in Proton City, which is in the state of Perak. Proton City is a special area built by Proton for making cars. It includes factories, test tracks, and even homes for workers.
