Back in November, a new Proton Iriz-based sedan was sighted undergoing road trials, and the speculation then was this was essentially the next-generation Proton Persona. We already know that the return of the nameplate has been confirmed, and the new car bearing the Persona moniker is slated to be launched sometime next year.
There’s also the new Saga, which is also due to arrive in 2016. Nothing is yet known about the next-gen Saga (as far as we know, it’s based on the current one), so photos that have come about on social media today might be providing the first intimation of the car.
The photos, uploaded by Naqiuddin Shah to the Proton Iriz Community Facebook group, are of covered cars on a transporter. Nothing out of the ordinary, really, but there’s every reason to believe that they’re Proton vehicles, given that the transporter had a DRB-Hicom polis bantuan escort.
The size and profile of the cars under wraps suggest that this might be the new Saga – the outline offered is tall, with a short boot. It could also be the Iriz-based next-gen Persona, but that one is more sedan like and not quite so tall. Still, it remains anyone’s guess as to which of the two are tucked away under those covers.
Aside from the Persona replacement and new Saga, next year will also see the national automaker debut its new Proton Perdana first, sometime in the first quarter. Plenty of activity in 2016 then from P1.
