All New Satria Neo R3

The Satria Neo R3 is targeted for the young and the young at heart, and of course motorsports enthusiasts. With the added R3 kit, it is ‘coolness’ that is affordable with performance that is proven.

Under the hood of the new Satria Neo R3 lurks a standard 1.6L CAMPRO CPS engine with 125bhp at 6,500rpm, but now it offers two driving profiles - Power and Fuel Efficient modes. 

Within the cabin, there’s dual SRS airbags to be had as standard fitment as well as semi-bucket seats up front and a Blaupunt (Blue-Dot) double-DIN 7” multi-media headunit with GPS Maps from MapKing embedded within.

In terms of passive safety, the R3 is equipped with ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System), EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution) and the much ballyhooed Lotus ride & handling that should help to some extent in avoid an unfortunate situation.

To make the 2012 Satria Neo R3 stand out, the exterior gets a host of R3-badged goodies that include a rear spoiler, a front splitter and a set of 16” alloy R3 rims wrapped with 195/50 ContiMAXContact MC5 tyres from Continental. 

The 2012 Satria Neo R3 is available in a choice of four colours that include Fire Red, the iconic GTi Silver, Tranquility Black as well as Canary Yellow - the same colour as the Satria Neo S2000 contender seen in the FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship.


Talking about the price, its costs RM64,250 for the Executive Line A/T and RM61,250 for the Executive Line M/T - accompanied by a 3-year or 100,000km warranty (whichever comes first).
