This white pre-facelift Proton Saga with trade plates was spotted by Randall in the parking lot of a shopping mall. It seems to be some kind of test bed for the upcoming CVT transmission that Proton will be introducing into its cars.
Of course, finding a Proton Saga with a CVT transmission installed might not necessarily mean we’ll see the CVT in the Saga, but if it doesn’t bump up the cost and price of the car by much it wouldn’t hurt since CVTs are usually more efficient than slushboxes.
