\"Proton<\/a><\/p>\n

The third-generation Proton Saga was first launched<\/a> in Malaysia on September 28, 2016 and has been given a few updates since its debut. In August 2019, the A-segment received a facelift<\/a> that not only saw styling changes but also a switch from a CVT to a four-speed automatic transmission. <\/p>\n

Several years later in May 2022, the MC2 facelift<\/a> (MC standing for ‘minor change’) was introduced with equipment revisions aimed at keeping the Saga competitive. In June 2023, Saga MC2\u2019s got a new four-speed transmission sourced from Aisin<\/a> instead of Hyundai and has remained same ever since. <\/p>\n

Expecting the Saga to have a new generation is only natural given the current model\u2019s long run and nameplate\u2019s popularity<\/a>, and we got a hint of what\u2019s next for the Saga in February 2024. Proton CEO Li Chunrong<\/a> confirmed that the company would set up a new R&D centre in Hangzhou, China<\/a> specifically for the development of the brand\u2019s homegrown models, which include the Saga, Persona and Iriz. <\/p>\n

The rumour mill started to spin from there, with a supposed leak of the next-generation Saga surfacing only to be proven to be renders that aren\u2019t genuine<\/a>. Now, paultan.org<\/em> reader Azahar Jalil has posted images of what is supposedly the new Saga spotted on trailer near the Petronas Sepang International Circuit.<\/p>\n

\"Proton<\/a><\/p>\n

At first glance, the body shape of the camouflaged car indicates this isn\u2019t an all-new Saga but possibly another update (called the MC3 presumably) to tide things over until the redesigned model arrives. However, the company has already confirmed previously that a next-generation model is due this year, so what\u2019s the deal here? <\/p>\n

If Proton is indeed working on a new facelift for the current Saga, there is a chance that the company may be planning to sell the two Sagas alongside each other. The MC3 would form the base offering(s), with the newer, more advanced AMA-based model priced slightly higher. Official details of the AMA platform used for the all-new Saga are limited, but we understand it will be development of the same base used for the current Saga, which itself can be traced to the second-generation Saga BLM that debuted in 2008.<\/p>\n

Perodua is an example of a car brand that offers two generations of the same model at the same time, as it currently sells two distinctly different Axia models (one based on the 2014 original<\/a>, and one a proper second-generation version<\/a>).<\/p>\n
