In May, local tuning outfit TuneD released a new line of bodykits and other enhancements designed for the Saga, Persona and Preve. Reception was, suffice to say, mixed, so the company announced two months later that it would be redesigning the kit for the Saga. Now, it’s finally ready for primetime.
The new front fascia features a slimmer front grille that is more cohesive with the rest of the car – it incorporates a mesh insert and a red stripe that give it a sportier look. The bumper has been reworked, too, with the full-width air intake now split into three sections, including a downturned centre inlet. There’s also a more subtle gloss black splitter underneath.
Otherwise, it’s the same kit as before, with LED daytime running lights, deeper side skirts and a new rear bumper with twin (fake) exhaust tips being part of the package. Also included is a full body paint package that adds blacked out pillars to give the car a floating roof look.
TuneD has also firmed up the price of the entry-level Standard package, which will retail at RM5,490 and include all of the items mentioned above. The company previously mentioned that it would be offering zero interest, easy-payment scheme instalments for Maybank credit cards holders.
Sitting on top of that is the Executive pack that throws in partial leather upholstery, new soft-touch door trim covers, under-bonnet insulation and a new inner boot cover, plus LED lighting (low beam, high beam and positioning lights) for the headlights. The range-topping Premium adds push-button start, keyless entry, 16-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels and high-performance tyres.
So, what do you guys think of the new look? Sound off in the comments section after the jump.

Saga is a budget entry level car. Stupid to have this kind of kits.
So only T & H can have bodykit?
Why u no complain Biza has useless Gearup instead of Speedup?
nope. this kind of marketing has existed for more than 30 years. in 1985 Ford Fiesta has a sporty version known as XR2 which is more expensive than Ford Escord entry level. it looks overlapping but but it worked just fine.
The Escort (equivalent of Focus today) also has a sporty model known as XR3 (Japanese equivalent is Ford Laser TX3) and is more expensive than the bigger Ford Sierra.
Why stupid? Everyone have the right to have a little bit of fun and individualize their rides.
Toyota does this with silly TRD sportivo kits. Honda Modulo kits on the Civic and Jazz is not that great either (Mugen is better).
It is stupid because of it’s price. 5k++ for saga bodykit..what a joke.
Tune here tune there tune up tune down it still look and drive like Saga. So what for spending those money. It will not go faster and safer with this.
malaysians will fall for go-faster bodykit. they will buy those items to make the car looks fast. Proton Wira SE sold in huge volumes because of that. Honda has Modulo bodykit for City, Jazz, Civic while Toyota has TRD Sportivo streetwear for Vios
install this body kit can improve power 10hp!
RM5k for that bodykit? better buy 60 inch smart tv or iphone X. Such overpriced with that bodykit design. Well, people still see it as saga no matter how much you make up it anyway.
ok le tu
TuneD ricer than amg
The bodykit costs 1/7th of the entire car. Makes perfect sense.
ricer
God, it looks good actually! Why the heck Proton can design it like this in the first place!
Buruk
Yalah…tapi design macam ni lebih bagus sikit dari Vios dan Bezza
This is what Proton should have offered right from factory.
actually TuneD is smart. by doing this, they are hoping Proton will offer them as OEM vendor. just like Carlsson and AMG for Mercedez, and Brabus. the same for BMW.
You can pay RM500k to change the aesthetic of the Saga. But you cannot change that Saga is still pretty much a garbage car.
RM5490 kit for a model targeted for low income, BRIM recipient group? Good luck
1/6 of Saga car price Lol
actually there is a small market for such buyers. a good example is Myvi Advance and Extreme – selling between 50-60K compare to 40K for the base spec Myvi.
Will add on 10 bhp and 0-100 in 15 seconds.
Hebat..u make USA proud. !!
15 saat tu adalah kepantasan Bezza dalam 0 hingga 100. Saga 0 hingga 100 boleh capai 13.1 saat.
Jangan salah faham dik
Beautiful. How nice if 1.5 Cfe on it.
5k for bodykit??? Extra weight samor for an underpower car??
If I were a customer, I will pay 5k for added safety features. But please, not those syoik-sendiri ricer bodykits that does nothing.
Deswai its called “Accessories”
True …..
Add more performance with the 5K better then body kit ……
Vios pun buat macam tu what, safety tak ada tanpa tapi add bodykit juga. Lagi pun Tune D bukan dari Proton.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Lebih cantik dari Bezza kan?
xda beza.. sama saja..
At least Proton have more safety features than Perodua. Not only that Proton have EV vehicles but Perodua don’t have and also Perodua have rear axle problem whereas Proton doesn’t have any rear axle problem. But Proton better, Don’t buy Perodua
It’s better but it’s not difficult to be better than garbage.
5k for some plastics and thats like almost 12% of the car price??
After upgrade its still a saga…
Nothing wrong do some cosmetic for own car. Tune D wanna make money.
If Tune D do the same thing to Perodua, will u say so?
Those Gear Up Gear There also same what. Still a Myvi, Bezza or Axia.
What, u expect to buy some saga accessories then turn up civic ah? LOL
Anybody who can afford RM5.5K for a bodykit won’t be driving a Proton Saga in the first place so who are they targeting this product at?
They are targeting people who think spending 5.5k will make the Saga “Faster & Safer”. I think the 5.5k is better keep for rainy days because our fuels & goods are getting more expensive.
nicely done!
Leather seat only how much and where to buy?
You cant put led bulb than call it led lighting… Here comes glare
Am I mistaken, I thought they are partner will Geely? how come they allow UMW management get involve on this bodykit matters?
Where did it mentioned UMW and why need Geely approval?
How the hell is Saga 2017 have the ‘Push-start’ button engine? I owned the premium version & yet that feature is not present dowh…… Does adding that feature is called ‘Accessory’ ?
Why not? A certain brand just added USB port and hailed it as a super duper accessory, furthermore they expect u to pay for that!
This bodykit gives any aero benefit ka? Any proof becoz ppl gonna pay 5k for such thing.
If not, the bodykit just made the car heavier, and definitely all show-no-go.
I liked the launch version….too bad they’re discontinuing
That price! Costs less to kit up my 370z. The execution is decent, just unsure what kind of demographics they’re aiming.
I also got TRD sticker much cheaper at pasar malam, so?
hes talking about bodykit lah genius
Both dun add power
Can’t believe still got people buy a Sage nowadays!
Bcos only knowledgeable ppl buy, those used plenty of money juz know to buy a logo.
Memang Saga ni tak hebat macam Vios tapi harganya cukup rendah dan selamat.
Bodykit also want to pay instalments? What a joke!
5k++ for this new Proton Saga bodykit?? Wow..good luck with your design business.
