Back in May, local tuning outfit TuneD unveiled its first range of aftermarket bodykits and exclusive packages designed specifically to fit the three Proton models, the Persona, Preve and the Saga. Following comments and feedback about the Saga’s exterior design elements, especially with regards to the front end, the company has come up with a new reinterpretation.
A short video teaser of the Saga Tuned 2 0 project shows that the rework is bringing about a new grille and bumper in a bid to address the criticism of the initial design. Some alterations to the rear presentation have also been carried out, with a black lid spoiler and redone boot trim plate evident in the video clip.
Elsewhere, the TuneD car gets new double five-spoke wheels, presumably 16-inch units, to replace the multi-spoke design of the original restyling job. The side skirt also looks to have been redone,
with a black-coloured splitter now running across the entire length of the unit.
Otherwise, the Fierce Red exterior colour remains, as does the blacked-out pillar treatment to offer the car a ‘floating roof’ look. The TuneD modification package also introduces LED lighting, daytime running lights (DRL), push-start ignition and hood insulation.
No view of the interior for the Saga 2 0, but there should likely be very little change in this area, with partial leather upholstery for the seats already on the first time out. Based on the video teaser, the car on show in the preview should contain all the elements in the Premium package available for the Saga.
GALLERY: TuneD Proton Saga, launch version
sorry. No matter you have do, this saga still look weird.
But it looks better than the bezza…better quality….better safety….back seat Tak PATAH BELAKANG macam bezza Dan axia lor
Biza, no bodykit can help its hideous looks.
Pipu of this segment dun care about looks besides syok sendiri Proton and its fanboys
Too bad more ppl are buying bezza than saga
Too bad Myvi sales goes down into drain
Myvi sales is more that anything Proton has to offer.
Car is okay, just the bodykit weird.
Why blame the bodykit when the car is ugly?
Now old rempits with koyak jeans will overspeed saga shaitann cuz bodykits add +144.4hp boost.
Much better than before..
hopefully can tune for bayu.. 19inch wheel, big spoiler, massive bumper..
China’s project too?
This is a big joke. Already buyers who buy the Saga are lower income and short of money, TuneD tries to sell a bodykit for Rm5000.
Hello TuneD, pakai hotak sikit. Where Saga buyers can afford this gimmick?
Gomen also should penalise TuneD cause some buyers may cleverly put the TuneD bodykit into their loan while buying the car.
This is bad as it increases household debt tremendously.
That’s where you’re wrong. Most Saga buyers have poor financial discipline and love to waste money. TuneD is tapping into that market. Just look at any Saga FB group.. the first thing they do after they get the car is to change sport rims, change exhaust system. add bodykits, and other unnecessary stuff..
Earn rm8143 monthly easy to afford.
Alaaa uncle.. if dont like it you got a way to go.. BTW all local car variance are rubbish tho lmao.. add up to almost Rm500 from normal standard varience price for 7-9 years rottin in malaysia driving bezza gay and saga sajat where theres lesser space for cars to drive around until die …
Proton, please stop wasting funds on “un”potential models.
Bring us back the Satria/Putra variants!
Proton is actually doing what you’ve advised. They’ve stopped wasting funds on low potential models – satria/putra variants.
All they need to do now is discontinue the barely-selling Suprima and channel the funding into their other projects i.e Preve FL and GDI engines. They’ve already cut R3 and Lotus so why not the Suprima as well.
dont forget the new perdana and inspira as well.. hardly see this two models at road.. most inspira owner x mengaku proton, change emblem to mitsubishi instead.
Inspira already stopped production 2 years ago. As for Perdana, I want to see what Proton could do with it, maybe if they put in the new engine/cvt+more standard features like LED headlights, 6 airbags and keyless entry/start then maybe it could sell better. Main issue with the Perdana was that it’s 140k but lacks a lot of features like the ones stated above.
If Proton were allowed to fully tune Perdana, it will perform much much better than the original Accord in the ride and handling department. What to do, Honda is intimidated by Proton capability and forbid that to happen.
Cannot see inspira with proton emblem? Of course cannot coz duduk in gua
Another clown giving false hope. How many putra can you buy to justify the development cost? Proton so deep hole now also partly contributed by these models.
Whoever behind this please just go back kampung and tanam jagung.
First design was awful. This one resembles Honda design language…. please. Just go home please.
Hahaha
instead of showing this which was not meaningfull ?? why not show how is the process for develop the geely boyue ??? sure alot ppl interest on it
Drastically improvement by them. this design more better then previous.
A waste of time.
Slightly better,but still it’s a ugly rice
Fulamak.. this one looks like CLA AMG. Good… janganlah macam ni… must support sikit mah
Anyway… Saga will still a Sage.. no matter what you do, how much you do… its still Saga..
Waste of time, waste of fund..
Better spend time and fund for something really meaningful.
There are many criticisms here but the Saga buyers are a segment who will appreciate this no matter how horrid it may seem to the rest of the world. They have a mentality that is unusual to others. Even if no food to eat, must have body kit mentality with big exhaust and mercedes emblem in front!. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder:)
Proton is losing potential and repeat buyers because the competitor is giving fuss free and fuel efficient A segment cars. All these kits are secondary to them. Saga engine is punchy and not smooth. The doors are stiff. Buck up proton -geely.
How does P1 sales relates with TuneD bodykits?
Low no of sales means low sales of bodykits..
But how does bodykit from 3rd party helps make or break sales of car?
I didn’t say bodykits can boost sales. Simple math is if Saga sold 10u a month, how could u sell bodykits 15u/mth.
Tutup ajela whatever TuneD department or kampeni.
Takde talent nak design bodykit nak design jugak.
Pastu design 1 jadi sampah. design 2 copycat.
TUUTUP AJE LAA TUNED OIIII
One should be proud to just drive/use it for its intended purpose which is to take 4/5 people & carry lots of goods to balik Kampong.
Only people with inferiority complex will want to waste $$$ on something which will not make the Saga faster/safer.
When saga owners see this…they get too excited until wet their pants but when PT readers see this they get too excited to bash kaw2!!! hahaha
That is what you learn from school eh?
Said myvi drivers, hahaha
The bodykit is okay well i mean better than ah beng trd vios.
But the problem is the car body and tyre or wheel arc size are not proportioned. Looks like a body builder with small feet
Tuned or De-tuned?
FIRST TIME i ever see , most ugliest design made it to the big screen ,
give free bodykit also dont want, dont make me feel ashamed of myself and a laughing stock.
i come in MISLEADED THOUGH IS SAGA 2.0L
Only you said that
please dont scare Geely. you makes them have nightmare at night.
Same same also with geely design. No design is really good nowadays
One thing: what does Tune meant heh?
Powerzone, Workz Engineering is what then? Rocket science?
No wonder products like Toyota VIOS Gazoo racing sportivo ver can happen in Malaysia.
Chawdut. I told my friend my car is tuned. Because I stick Ralliart sticker to the door and changed my bumper to evo X bumper.
And you can’t see the rear disc brake, front brembo caliper is becoz my 20 inch rim spin too fast you can’t see.
It’s properly tuned yo.
Rendering only…Need for speed meh?
This is a much improved design than the previous.
Fake exhaust tips are still fake.
Yeah like those jepunis hikari swift bodykit
I saw those on merc and lexus , how?
The current designers employed at Proton should be fired. Especially the chief designer! Proton should be concentrating on producing affordable value for money cars with good safety features. Why all these cheapalak ideas of making an already ugly car, uglier? You guys really got to stop this self indulging ego and start producing cars that are simple and affordable to own. Jeez!
Hello macha…nk bash pun get ur facts rightla…what a looser!!!
P1 ≠ TuneD
Persona ady 6 airbags, if tak laku then why still blame p1 pulak?
You must be fan of dugung and catfish design cars, hahaha
Where in the article mentioned this is from Proton? This is a local company, not related to Proton. Proton jugak kena XD
This is really joke of the year. Poor Saga!
way better than previous one
In my most honest opinion, this saga looks best stock. At most also just add a wing and get it lowered.
For this tuneD package which I assume will cost about 5k, I better use to to add bolt on turbo or supercharger which this car quite needs.
TuneD = Tun in past tense! Game over for the whole bunch!
Push start ignition?like mercedes where u still need to insert key then push the button. Or just typical smart key in pocket then push button? If the latter, then its really waste of money.
At the rate Proton is moving, looks like they need another 1.8 bil to stay relevant.
Nothing has changed in P1 , business as usual with 4 tea breaks during office hours.
Its already the end of July and still no mention of its new engine range.
No matter how you tweak a Saga , deep down its drive train still sucks big time.
The car already looks silly, originally. Short wheel base with disproportioned body, silly size wheel arch……Kinda like Thomas the Train
Now bodykit??
You cant polish if it is a piece of tur*
Tur* is more like an overpriced TRD Sportivo Vios
Ala toksah gaduh gaduh , janji boleh jual dah ler , asal Proton buat jer sume komplen , sekarang ni bersepah budak muda beli civic fd sekenhen lepas pakai body fd type r beli kat kedai potong , naper tak komplen , hahaha
I.love proton but only my satria GTI… Got 200kmj n above easilly in relaxing driving. Tq proton satria GTI
Wuu…it has honda grille
Where to buy this tuneD? Buy at proton kah? No shop no website with stupid brand name, search google came out tune hotel or tune talk..interested change leather seat for my persona. Those expensive heavily change of exterior useless lah…5k?? Better use to buy better model or spec lah…
What happen to R3?. berkubur?
Please read more dun stay in cave
Already read. Cant find news about R3?.. What I meant was the so called bodykits shud enhance thru R3 since its already have name and reputation. Why need to create another name..
To develop this R3 dept is not cheap and yet not utilize it.
Why did proton replacing the fog lamp with DRL?
