The Seat Toledo is back, and the Spaniards have decided to ditch the weird mini-van with a boot look that the third generation had, going back to a traditional sedan with the fourth gen, except instead of a normal sedan boot, you get a wide opening hatchback instead.
It’s got a length of 4,480mm and a wheelbase of 2,602mm, which is kind of between the Polo Sedan (2,552mm) and Jetta (2,650mm). It’s the platform-mate of the new Skoda Rapid. There are a few petrol and diesel engines available – a 1.2 litre or a 1.4 litre TSI petrol making between 75 PS to 122 PS, or a 1.6 litre TDI diesel doing between 90 PS to 105 PS.

Dr M & Proton …
You there? You see what a tie up with Volkswagen can do to you??
But no you had to jaga your own interest… at the expense of your own progress as a carmaker.
Seat and Skoda have already made it after the tie up, and you think coming out with Preve will preve much of your days ahead??
wei apek.. listen first to DSZ said on his speech on Young Malaysian Corporate seminar… he says joining with VW is “berat sebelah”… if they joint with VW.. might PROTON will vanish out 100% as a manufacturer and be re badge brand like Perodua..
VW only want Tanjung Malim Plant and LOTUS not PROTON!! talk like smart ass..but full of crap!!
maybe because Proton hasn’t made much headway in global competitiveness in the last 20 fracking years, surviving only due to high import taxes on imported cars; and that’s why VW and a lot of Malaysians value other products over Proton’s subpar products?
Why would VW want the plants to continue to churn out inferior products or a world-crap brand like Proton.
Does Proton deserve to continue to exist to suck our tax dollars and pockets dry, just so we can brag about having an AMNO crony, I mean, “national” car company?
Gegary, every heard of economies of scale? Maybe we should open the whole Malaysian economy to everyone lah. Why need to have Malaysian brand shoes and clothes right? Free trade lah. The overseas can all come in and in one fell swoop destroy the local companies. I don’t buy local brand anyway, ape kelas
Gegary… u think without PROTON the car will be cheap in MALAYSIA… in ur DREAMS!!
Agree and i think VW just want the Lotus ! Potong use as test cars…
If Proton-VW tie-up and rebadged Jetta Or Golf GTI or even Passat, how nice..Should be very much cheaper than what it is now. Then I dont mind buying a Proton ..
berat sebelah is just an excuse. If they lost control of Proton, they cannot supply accessories anymore!
And why does everyone think VW want Lotus? They already own Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini and half of Porsche. ALL PROFITABLE companies.
SEAT and Skoda are VW’s subsidiaries, not tie-ups. Platforms, chassis, engines and gearboxes are interchangeable.
Get your facts checked.
If you dont like Proton, just shut up and buy your Bentley. Not everybody think like you..
And you sir will always be a slave, still colonized in the mind and never bold enough to be independent.
So I guess it ok to be colonized by our own robber barons then? So much for bold and independent.
lai…lai…lai….lim kopi…mai ket ke! proton apa itu kereta…i haven’t seen one in Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines or the ecnonomy backwaters Myanmar….proton apa itu…only made in malaysia, used by malaysia lah. if want to compete…sorrylah…global car makers have long established since the days of henry ford…as car nowadays are very hightech…ecoboost, skyactive, hybrid, plug-in electric…yeap proton work w/ lotus to develop engine BUT proton don’t have proprietary rights to it! there’s no need to be so thick face. think how to compete GLOBALLY….JV, collaboration, equity tie-up or the notorious mas-airasia share – swap…lai lim kopi.
wow. simple design.. but it’s a neat design. if proton manage to design saga like this, i would be proud to drive one.
Design alone not enough, quality and value for the customers hard earned money is even more important. Proton can copy this design “bulat-bulat” and call it Topedo also people will not like buying it if the quality does not improve.
Simple yet lovely… and that’s all that’s needed.
ok with jetta,vento (polo sedan) dna…but look lovely with simple line and curve………
how i wish proton could come out with looks like this for their lowest model..it doesn’t mean lowest=ugliest..
not that i meant saga is ugly, it’s ok to be fair.but it could be much more better looking..
agree… but b4 producing this kind of quality in this segment PROTON need Volume and scale.. and unfortunately PROTON does not have that ‘yet’… maybe in future..
As long they don’t improve on quality, there won’t be any significant volume and scale.
clean lines.. love it…
Nothing impressive! exterior and bodyline almost like Proton Saga FL with better interior.
Seems like almost is like a lot. :)
Yeah looks normal only. But still looks better than any proton (except Inspira).
and its look much nicer than Vios and CITY.. haha
proton better
Really? How is it better? In what way you are comparing this with proton? Which Proton car is better than this?
Price wise maybe!! or maybe space!! hahahaha
Inside quality looks like VW taxi in China..the reason I need to bring more Panadol Actifast to China.
Simple and elegant.
Why couldn’t Preve look like this?
for me PREVE looks better!! and y u want Preve to look better than this, if u saying this car looks better, so go on get one.. why still comparing?? let me guess?? talak luuuit!! haha
I dont think it is appropriate to discuss politics, who crony with who…n bad mouthed political party in this platform…we all love cars…if we want to talk about high tax n what not…lets go to Malaysiakini….anyway not all tax are high in Malaysia…trust me…I worked in UK previously and yes, the car is cheap but the income tax is so high…you can hardly breath…count your blessings Bro!
Malaysians are borderline retarded, see car blog also want to comment and say things like umno this lah, govt this lah, bolehland lah and what not. seriously i feel like my brain vanished whenever i go to the local blogs. what to expect, sexually repressed people the lot of them. give monkeys computer pon can get the same result
Save your brain, stop coming here then. :)
Lim Kopi didnt mentioned about UMNO or any political party..He just mentioned Dr M as the the adviser to Proton.. Eastman and Economist, do not judged him wrongly if you are offended by other blog post. Now who is retarded then..
vios j is wayyyyyyy…better than this….hihihi..
Absolutely! Vios J is wayyyyyyy better than tandas!
VIOS is ancient car.. its a legend.. patut simpan in muzium!! haha
macam audi ja…..
same company maa… :)
hahaha….sebab tengok kereta nie tiap2 hari. jiran di stoke nie pakai. Tengah fikir nak ambik AP…tapi sini banyak diesel, so…ok tak kalau bawak 5 series diesel ke malaysia?
OMG i thought this is the new saga blm. DAMN!
just change the front and rear lights on the saga, and it will look very very similar.
its almost the same as the skoda rapid. vag is going back to cheap cheap badge engineering? is B-segment really that competitive? I would prefer they look more different, eg. seat’s version should be more sporty than this.
saga is in a segment with myvi, when the car is less in width there is no room for ‘playing’ with curves and shapes. if proton comes up with b segment car, i believe i would be as nice as this even if it’s quite boxy
There’s a 1.2 and 1.4 so this should be based on the Polo sedan. Certainly look much better than Polo for sure!
If offered here at RM72K would you still buy Preve? He He He! Jgn marah opinion polls saja.
heh..even Spanish dont use Spanish word..make things worst, PREVE is not even a Spanish word!
Kudos to SEAT for their naming convention which globalising their historical cities…
Imagine to have names like Proton MALACCA or PENANG or SELANGOR etc…sure boley maaa..
these car have a mileage of up to 70mpg if im not wrong. where to buy this car in sarawak?
