Another day, another round of spyshots of the upcoming 2025 Proton Saga MC3 – this time thanks to reader J Phuah, who saw a pair of them on a highway. Nothing much we haven’t already seen before, although a frontal close-up clearly shows the Ethereal Bow and a concave grille.
Here’s what we know so far – the budget sedan is expected to get, for the first time, ADAS (though most likely a basic one), and possibly LED headlamps, to match the Perodua Bezza, which has had both since the 2020 facelift. There should also be a new engine – a non-turbo port-injected BHE15PFI version of the X50 facelift‘s four-cylinder engine.
It’s been a long time since the Saga had a 1.5 litre engine, and if it’s going to continue to be marketed as an A-segmenter, that’s a rather big engine for one. Outputs could be around 99-110 PS and 125-135 Nm, beating the Bezza’s 67-94 hp and 91-121 Nm (1.0 and 1.3 litre engines).
Expect also a revised exterior (new front and rear bumpers, head and tail lamps, grille and boot lid) and interior (perhaps a new dashboard, pill-shaped air vents, redesigned air-con switchgear and the X50’s three-spoke D-shaped steering wheel), although the platform can trace its origins to the 2008 Saga BLM. All will be revealed by the fourth quarter. Excited?
