The Proton Perdana has been absent from the carmaker’s line-up for a few years now, but what if it made a return and looked like this? The car you see here is labelled the Perdana S90 and was digitally sketched (with some AI help) by Saharudin Design, which also envisioned a next-generation Exora recently.
Compared to the second-generation Perdana that was based on the eighth-generation Honda Accord, the reborn Perdana (or S90 if we follow Proton’s current alphanumeric naming convention) looks radically striking at first glance.
At the front, we find a lighting signature reminiscent of the hammerhead design seen on recent Toyota models like the Prius and Crown Sport, with C-shaped elements that are connected by light bars meeting at the central Proton logo.
There’s also a vented bonnet and a busy lower apron, the latter with angled air curtains and an upswept trim piece for the lower intake. Meanwhile, the sculpted sides are complemented by strong haunches, prominent side skirts, massive wheels and low-profile side mirrors.
You’ll also notice the coupe-like roofline and small side windows with angled B-pillars, along with large doors that have discreet door handles just below the window line. However, this changes from the rear three quarter perspective, as the general shape of the four-door appears more cab forward, the window line looks altered and the B-pillars become more upright.
In any case, the rear end is reminiscent of the pre-facelift eighth-generation Sonata, albeit with an inverted taillight arch that gains trim extensions. Further down, is a recessed trapezoidal section that accommodates the number plate, a U-shaped metallic trim piece and the exhaust finishers.
Going through these renderings, what do you think of this next-generation Perdana/S90 by Saharudin Design? Is it appealing to you or are there some things you would change? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Not possible unless we have a Geely donor car and spare parts bin to share.
Well done. Talk number 1. No action
Please realized this…
This Saharudin company cannot be local. Any local designer with half a brain would know about our crap roads. The front lip and undercarriage of this design wouldn’t last a day here with our potholes, speedbumps and stray pythons.
Alahai….bukak lah sket minda tu….
Takkan tak pernah tgk design concept manufacturer lain dan actual production model tu.
Concept design lah bila designer diberi kebebasan untuk menggila. Come to mass pro, bnyk design element kne remove atau tone down atas dasar kos, praktikaliti, safety, dll.
The rear looks like 2023 Sonata with vertically flipped tail light
Saharudin is the type of person who will design a family mpv like it is a jet fighter.
Berangan is free.
No
What about make this to life without foreign help? I am certain neither pLoton nor perodua can make it happen.
If Saharuddin is really good, he would probably be working either in Japan or Europe now. Designing for Ford , Merc or BMW or Nissan or Mazda.
Nope, his design is not outstanding in the eyes of car companies. Maybe 2 years advance but they are looking something like 10 years ahead type of designer.
Sporty lebih. Langsung tak praktikal
Looks heavily clumsy, albeit different looks to Mustang
Totally opposite Lotus Experience
Saharudin Design – Please render a good looking/ well proportioned B segment sedan, hatchback & SUV. That’s the bread & butter for Proton.
Utter nonsense design. It’s not even radical… it’s terrible!
All theae unrealistic design…99.9% sure it’s not gonna happen..lol
100.00%. Looks like there’s no stopping Saharudin from doodling. To be brutally honest, none of his work so far deserves a second look. Until he comes up with something worthy, we actually owe him feedback so he doesn’t syok sendiri.
so so
I’ll buy it
S90 look more like Hyundai Sonata,
Strange is that,
Why still powered by ICE instead of EV, as the trend now.
Absolutely Hilarious.
Wow cantik, Kita harus banga dgn local designer. Jgn putus asa design anda memang cantik dan terkehadapan.
Kalau dia bagus, proton atau perodua akan ambil dia bekerja dan design saga baru atau myvi G4. Di mana dia skrg?
Dia boring nnti kalo keje dgn Proton atau Perodua skrg sbb nanti keje dia hanya design grill dgn bumper je. Kalo dapat ubah sket shape headlamp dh kira bertuah.
Cnfirm ada org jaki dgn dia sbb gaji besau2 tp design abes kuat tuka lampu depan je.
I don’t really need to know who is Saharudin but it is a dreamy design with no real world practicality. The C Clamp LED light make the bonnet hood with a gap line, bravo
Instantly I fell in love . I would buy. I don’t like the inverted rear light as it resembles Honda .
Trying so hard to get notice this designer.
His work at proton was meh
shaharudin design MIMPI kot
Keyboard warriors starting to bark already. Talk a lot, tapi isi kosong. Talk so pro, then you design la. Confirm look like chinese coffin.
Cun, di galakkan untuk PROTON Menghasilkan nya.
This design wil enhance sakes for Proton and if it is Hybrid or EV wil definitely increase it’s sales potential tremendously… Bravo Sharudin Design Team
More futuristic than realistic…
Looks fabulous, very futuristic.Will match the top brand models. If it being produced it will choose by abroad customers. But with the lates hightech feature.
No matter how u design it, it is still just a lowly Proton.
Proton is only a rebadge engineering manufacturer with its speciality is only the nose job.others are parts and bin from pariyah Chinese cars.protob has lost its direction in building affordable cars for malaysians..instead over charged us for a cheapskate donor Chinese cars
I know its difficult to be original but the design language are so obvious with other brand.Not to be proud of.
Looks nice.
The proton s90 sedan looks very brilliant and charming plus sporty
