Proton confirmed at last night’s Chinese New Year media dinner that it will be launching at least three new models in 2025, as you can see in the slide above.
AMA definitely refers to the next-gen Saga, the test mule of which was recently spotted with an ADAS camera but cloaked in the old body. We do hope this old body is a disguise and that the production car will have new body panels – fingers crossed. Whether it will have a Proton or Geely engine is still unknown.
On GMA, Proton CEO Dr Li Chunrong mentioned “at least one new model”, and he specifically said either the eMas 5 or eMas 3, confirming that Proton has plans for both. Another possible model is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the eMas 7 (see Geely Galaxy Starship 7).
It’s also at least one new model for the X/S series. We’ve already seen the X50 facelift on test, which is likely to debut a new 1.5 litre turbo four-cylinder engine. That should be the confirmed model, while the ‘+’ could refer to another X model receiving said new four-potter. Could that be the X90, which is currently the oldest in the range?

Eh… 4 cylinder engine pulak?
Why?
Haven’t P1 been all this time saying their 3 cylinder engine is better?
Whatever marketing BS
from starts of selling
4-pots simply better
X80 mayb?
I was campaigning for the new X%0 (similar to the Coolray in the Philippines) would come sooner for my wife. Due to no sign of anything coming from P1, I had to opt for a different brand. P1 is way too late on their updates.
4 pot 1.5 turbo should be quickly applied to x70 and not x90 as the x70 C segment market is the one they are eroding and losing most sales to competition.
I will still state it is a long distance dream for us to be getting the 1.5L 4cyl engine or the newest collaboration between Geely + Renault engine.
so nothing about Exora replacement since I don’t think X90 is suppose to it considering the price difference
