It appears that Proton is in the midst of refreshing its lineup – we’ve already seen spyshots of the facelifted Persona, and earlier this month we got our first look at the updated Iriz. Now, a new image from our reader ST suggests that the same makeover is headed to the Saga, three years on from the sedan’s launch.
The development mule you see here is still covered in camouflage, so it’s difficult to see what’s actually changed. It does appear that the rear bumper will see a slight redesign, with a simpler diffuser compared to the outgoing model’s more ornate item. The tail light seem to be identical to before.
Expect a similar revision to the front end – possibly mirroring the facelifted Iriz – along with new wheel designs. As with the Iriz, there may also be tweaks forthcoming for the interior, perhaps with a new head unit not unlike the GKUI-esque system in the larger hatch.
There will likely be no changes under the bonnet, however, with the Saga set to soldier on with the same 94 hp/120 Nm 1.3 litre VVT engine mated to either a five-speed manual gearbox or a CVT.

Camouflage? Should it be? MDM >> Malaysia Domestic Model no need to waste sticker Proton. Just launch it.
pakai tudung lagi cantik
Nice rear bumper
This car will soon go to Muzeum Negara.
Just for Perodua to recycle and use as their new car?
The only domestic do R&D, no need camoouflage
Anyone interested?
Certainly…Saga hotseller in Turki & Iran
They must be stupidly desperate
Fresh graduate
They can’t afford it
Wah, so excited to see the next masterpiece from Geely!
SAGA has been a household name in Msia, value for money family sedan but, don’t Proton-Geely think it’s time for a major upgrade is desperately needed to venture into 2020 & beyond..
Right now P1 got not enuff money to develop new platform, so need to wait for Geely to initiate a Small Car project for P1 to flex their small car muscles along with other project partners.
Gud to see Geely still keeping faith with the legacy models. They knows to apreciate gud, sound, well-engineered cars. Kudos to Geely!
Kalau sudah buruk, solek macam mana pun tetap lemau.
Next saga needs to be less than 4 meter long to compete in India
Finally they know the rear light is odd, thanks God
Waduh….Proton Saga is just like a roach. it just won’t die.
Sudah lah Proton…cukup dah…
Why la. The rear was the best part
Adoi proton u try give something that people want la. Take the iriz, give it racing seat, anti roll bar, turbo and front and rear disc brake and rename it as iriz X or something. nobody want your fugly bumper redesign
You can noticed no more tiger emblem at the back of the car.
Saga simply not up to par for today std. If compare to old myvi, it is still miles miles away. Whether ergonomics or built quality.
The Saga is better than the latest Myvi in refinement. Of course, better in ride and handling too.
When the report is about X70 or Iriz, then the bashers will refer to PROTON’s statement that their sales are majority from Saga/Persona range, and that any other model is juts “a waste of time for PROTON”.
When the report is about the models where they derive most of their sales from, the bashers take on another mode: not relevant, ugly, MyVi doing better, and everything else.
Go figure.
I say let them bash; in the near future, PROTON will become the proverbial tortoise in that classic Aesop fable about The Hare & The Tortoise.
Let the resident basher and his dupes spew his bollocks, bro. The more he talks the more sales P1 gets, he talks so much about X70 even in Anuz news artikel until P1 got 15,000 bookings with months long waiting list. So no worries, let him talk. The more he bollocks the more P1 sales goes up, so sumpah tak kesah.
Buy Bezza better!
Saga FL = Saga Freelance. Popular among the freelances.
please do make ESC standard across range, alongside with improving overall built quality
Harga letak RM 35k
Better interior design than Axia sure win
Just bump up the minimal safety features throughout the range first – SIX airbags minimum to complement with ESP and ABS for a start for the whole of Saga, Iriz and Persona….HSA and HDC see how first
Saga is an icon to me and close to our heart. I hope Proton feels the same. Every effort to make Saga better is welcome!
Yang kuat mengutuk Proton tu dah cuba test drive atau belum. Kita ni sebelum komen apa-apa kena buat test drive dulu untuk kereta yang nak dibuat perbandingan. Bagi saya, SAGA 2016 lebih bagus jika dibandingkan dengan Myvi dari segi kabin dan HANDLING.
Setuju. Sebab percaya cakap org saya beli bezza. Aduh handling memang best bawah 80km. 100km ke atas rasa macam bawak basikal. Bounce and rebounce memang meletihkan utk long distance journey. Tapi utk buat grab car memang berbaloi dari segi penjimatan petrol
