Body Design
The Arena is based largely on Proton's Wira/Persona saloon, sharing similar frontal designs of the then current Wira and mechanics, but having a reduced seating capacity of two confined to a Wira-based cabin and featuring a rear cargo bed measuring 1,636 mm (64.4 in) x 1,349 mm (53.1 in) x 415 mm (16.3 in) with a maximum payload of 570 kg (1,257 lb) and a maximum load area of 1.64 m (65 in) x 1.18 m (46 in).
In Malaysia, the Arena is offered in three variants, which features a variety of cargo bed accessories and trims but does not vary mechanically from the export edition:
- The "Freestyle", the base Arena model with an open bed, exposed metal sports bars, steel rims and hubcaps.
- The "Sportdeck", an open bed variant similar to the Freestyle with covered sports bars, body trims, and alloy rims.
- The "Fastback", an upmarket variant with a hard, streamlined tonneau cover-cum-camper shell (resembling a fastback body style), body trims, and alloy rims.
In Australia, the Jumbuck is available in two variants, GLi and GLSi.

The growing bones, the rumour of manseed
Within the hallowed gland, blood blessed the heart....”
