- New front, rear (with faux diffuser design) and side skirts.
- A new front grille with black finish.
- Leather seats, door trim and steering wheel

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the Proton Saga SE highlight a mix of enthusiasm and criticism. Many praise its attractive red color, refreshed exterior bodykit, leather seats, and overall value, considering it an affordable and better driving experience compared to competitors like Myvi or Perodua Viva. However, there are concerns about its high pricing, limited safety features such as airbags and ABS, and the use of basic materials that some find unappealing. Several commenters compare it unfavorably to imported cars like Vios and City, criticizing Proton for minimal upgrades and marketing tactics that seem to inflate the price. Frustration with slow production, delivery delays, and perceived lack of innovation also surface, along with debates over whether the modifications and features justify the cost. Overall, sentiments range from supportive to highly critical, reflecting diverse opinions on Proton's offerings.
