Proton Savvy 18 concept interior revealed by MIMOS

Proton Savvy 18 concept interior revealed by MIMOS

In November last year, sketches of the Proton Savvy 18 concept were released by MIMOS as a suggestion of what a successor to the original might look like. At the time, only the vehicle’s exterior was shown, but we are now being treated to a glimpse of the vehicle’s interior.

These new sketches continue to be the work of Saharudin Busri, the lead designer and an owner of the first-generation Savvy. Like the exterior, the interior is both a look to the future and the past, with suitable cues affirming the latter.

A revamped dashboard is the first thing that catches your eye, one that sports circular and angular features. The air-con vents, instrument binnacle both conform to cylindrical shapes, while the frame for the large infotainment screen is more hexagonal in appearance.

Elsewhere, a textured gear knob can be found on the centre console, which merges with the centre stack that has the engine starter button and a rotating dial control on it. The most established homage to the original are the vehicle’s gauges, which retain the yellow background as before.

Obviously, the dials have been updated quite a bit, with the one on the left appearing very Ferrari-esque. The right one takes on a more “chrono look,” with three gauges nestled in the middle. A multi-info coloured display is positioned between the dials.

The steering wheel, like the first-gen, is a three-spoke unit but is much sportier in look here. The centre boss has ‘18’ written on it, while controls for the media system can be found on the spokes as well.

Now that you’ve seen both the exterior and interior of the Savvy 18 concept, what do you think of it? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

      Either you’re new to autoblog/automotive industry or just plain dumb.. Car makers tend to recycle names, but facelifted nor introducing all new models as civic, saga, myvi names..

    Bold interior design. Build quality however has always been hit or miss. No consistency.

    Let’s see what Geely can do.

      The build quality of the Savvy was surprisingly good compared to other Protons of its time. It is after all the only TUV-certified Proton to date. Things that need to be improved include the hard interior plastics and poor sound insulation.

    Concept looks great, original and tempting. But are we sure with those wheels? People who buy Proton can only afford it at sub-70k. You put 18-inch wheels or bigger, semua tak mampu tukar. That’s a fact.

    The original savvy was a nightmare. Especially the AMT! I would have taken a 3 speed auto gearbox rather than an AMT! The only good thing about the car was the handling.
