Believe it or not, there exist rumours that Proton is planning a new Saga sub-brand, and rendering sifu Theophilus Chin has come up with a “hypothetical” Proton Saga Cross – a small SUV to take on the likes of the Perodua Ativa, Honda WR-V and Chery Tiggo Cross.
“Imagine a lineup built around this identity – Saga Persona, Saga Iriz, Saga Exora and Saga Cross,” Theo writes in the description of his YouTube video, referring respectively to conceptual sedan, hatch, MPV and SUV versions of the rakyat‘s Proton. If this really happens, Perodua’s Bezza, Axia/Myvi, Alza and Ativa will have some company, it seems.
Anyway, we think this thing looks great – angular headlamps integrated into a wide grille, Proton logo-cupping Ethereal Bow underlining the headlamps, black wheel arch mouldings, roof rails, X70-like shoulder line kink at the C pillar, full-width tail lamps and a rear diffuser-like element housing twin tailpipes.
The nation is waiting for the Saga MC3, codenamed AMA01 (because it’s the first model to be based on the new A-segment Modular Architecture). And why would you put an ’01’ there if there aren’t going to be more AMA-based cars, right? Share with us your thoughts!
AD: Drive the Proton model of your dreams. Submit your details and Proton PJ will get in touch with you.

How about No.
hurry up, the compact S70 cross can compete with Diva Ativa and WR-V
We all know saga cross will be out sometime next year with hybrid drivetrain. So….
Hangpa ni melalut la
Hideous
Ya a x30 model needed, 1.5Na 4 cylinder timing chain aisin 4at, rm70k kill off the lousy ativa and overpriced wrv.
Why stop at RM70K? Why not RM35K and kill off all P2 models? Maybe RM4K to kill of motorbikes too.
Not gearbox aisin toyota under power better cvt going back for performed and fuel saving. I already use cvt and extreme drive still good, nothing issue.
Proton Swagen
it looks like the SAIC-GM Wuling Alvez.
1st, saga should remain in A-segment with body sedan or hatchback
SUV better batch with X series like X30 if under A-Segment
Hybrid type mostly placed at E.mas there, be noticed proton and e.mas have diff sales place.
SUV models is so crowded in Malaysia
Please diversify other body types like C-segment MPV, A-segment EV, B-segment pickup like arena, etc…
Imagine in wet dream la sound better then build your dream.
CONTINUE with this rendering, coz PROTON can only dream of with such rendering…. Nothing will come out from their R&D, in the end the hicom gang will stick with OLD UGLY design, while the geely gang wil continue their money grabbing rebadge!
since can’t develop any good stuff, don’t you mind to close your company? let malaysian to use more advance vehicle?
if comes in true hybrid not phev then can be very interesting. economy of 20+km/l from a small suv is good choice
why always post these nonsense copycat designs???
please imagine a world without “thioksifilis”
maybe it’s his crony sorry i mean friend
I had a Proton and had to open Door Upholstery so many times to repair leaks Has this changed??
Persona put new x50 1.5L 4 cylinder timing chain engine without turbo + aisin 4AT gearbox as s50 lah…
Stop this nonsense la sohai.. Until it’s official, don’t daydreaming or clickbait.. are you that cheap now?
