Proton Saga Estate
The next-gen Proton Saga is currently in
the works and will be launched in Malaysia later this year. In the latest news,
Facebook user Zainul Azraai has published photos of an unreleased Proton that
seems to the Proton Saga Estate (name unconfirmed).
There’s no word on launch of an estate
version of the next-gen Proton Saga, but these spyshots suggest that Proton is
at least certainly interested in making one. The estate seen here is probably
in the very early stages of development, possibly just a design study.
Unlike the current Proton Saga, the
next-gen Proton Saga will reportedly be an A-segment vehicle. The repositioning
is said to be done in order to prevent cannibalization of the Proton Persona’s
sales.
The next-gen Proton Saga sedan’s rumored
engine is the Proton Iriz’ 1.3-litre VVT engine. It should be offered with
5-speed manual transmission and continuously variable transmission choices. The
new 1.0 and 1.2-litre three cylinder engines announced earlier this year will be
offered from a later stage.
