In May, local tuning outfit TuneD released a new
line of bodykits and other enhancements designed for the Saga, Persona and
Preve. Reception was, suffice to say, mixed, so the company announced two
months later that it would be redesigning the kit for the Saga. Now, it’s
finally ready for primetime.
The new front fascia features a slimmer front grille
that is more cohesive with the rest of the car – it incorporates a mesh insert
and a red stripe that give it a sportier look. The bumper has been reworked,
too, with the full-width air intake now split into three sections, including a
downturned centre inlet. There’s also a more subtle gloss black splitter
underneath.
Otherwise, it’s the same kit as before, with LED
daytime running lights, deeper side skirts and a new rear bumper with twin
(fake) exhaust tips being part of the package. Also included is a full body
paint package that adds blacked out pillars to give the car a floating roof
look.
TuneD has also firmed up the price of the
entry-level Standard package, which will retail at RM 5,490 and include all of
the items mentioned above. The company previously mentioned that it would be
offering zero interest, easy-payment scheme instalments for Maybank credit
cards holders.
Sitting on top of that is the Executive pack that
throws in partial leather upholstery, new soft-touch door trim covers,
under-bonnet insulation and a new inner boot cover, plus LED lighting (low
beam, high beam and positioning lights) for the headlights. The range-topping
Premium adds push-button start, keyless entry, 16-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels
and high-performance tyres.
