The drawn out saga between Volkswagen and Proton has become one long ‘will they, won’t they’ affair. However, if Proton does end up becoming the thirteenth brand under the massive VW umbrella, then the marriage could spawn the car you see in this post.
As the badge and nameplate suggest, this is the Proton Saga, as imagined by Theophilus Chin. The rendering is based on the current Volkswagen Voyage, which is only offered to South American countries.
Truth be told, the car’s design does not look far-fetched. Similarities with the current Polo Sedan aside, this rendering has all the elements that point to what the Saga could look like in the years to come. What do you think of the ‘new’ Proton Saga?
