I do hope so.

Proton has placed so much emphasis on this aspect of late, it would be a shame to lose out to Perodua's first attempt at a sedan in terms of safety.

Best looking Proton model?

I'll still skip due to the engine and CVT.

If Proton puts Vios engine in it I'll buy it in a heartbeat

The old 1.6L with the CVT. No way!

Not sure about the rear design.

NCAP stars was given based on scoring on injury to the crash dummies. Saga FLX maybe have some design flaw resulting more injuries.
Comparing Bezza 590MPa steel chassis to Persona 1500MPa steel chassis. It a totally different 5 stars even have same ESC equipped. The stronger the chassis will be better for side impact protection where no much buffer for crushing unlike engine bay and boot.

Executive


Standard

there are some changes on the chasis,including seats,to make it better,but since my close source is pretty tight lips on that matter(i mean aseancap score),so i cant comment on which score did they managed to obtain. if no modification made,even with esc,new saga wont score 4 star aseancap,still 3 star.

but earlier,he mentioned all new persona n saga objectives in crash test is to perform as highest as possible.

let us wait for for official. But i do agree if 4 star rate,its not really good to proton,eventhough in our market,still high percentage dont care on ncap rating,but mostly look at fc in the brochure. Awareness is increase,but in slow rate.

But those catamaran like roof top,they mentioned to increase aerodynamic of the saga, help a bit in cruising fc. Hopefully its really as functional as it intended to be. eventhough many who actually driven n saw it mentioned they are really pleased with the new saga,but take it as pinch of salt. If your expectation is like current flx,then you might be amazed.

take a spin on new persona,new saga isnt that much differ interm of refinement,except material on persona is much better compare to saga.

Thanks for the info, as always it's good to hear/read from you again.

It seems everytime at the brink of a new Proton launch you will emerge at the forums again

N. Slyphy

vios engine also 'old' what...
but yeah, punch is sh*t

in front like Axia and Vios

pretty busy...and my sources also pretty busy with 4 models to launch this year. lots of info coming when the car is ready,if in design phase,many things still incomplete. some info might change.

but nice to hear from you too dares.

Is the specifications for Standard variant confirm?
as source from Paultan said unpainted side mirrors and door handles.

Yea,I read, but no rear spoiler (or maybe white colour is early version ).

what they gonna do next year?
got preve facelift or not?

Looks quite good

Come with ASC.. Hehehe

What's asc?

Oh.. In proton terms it's ESC..

Mitsubishi it's ASC

Either way, it came from the same supplier iinm

Why can't they move away from punch? It's seriously holding them back.

according to my source,preve n exora major facelift. imho,preve is badly needed major facelift,but for exora,i think,reengineering the exora old chasis like saga,is a better option cuz they can actually use preve strength since preve chasis/platform is derived from exora chasis/platform. but how major it is,i dont know at the moment.

they can save a lot of rnd cost,and its new,rather than major facelift which basically the same.

eventhough rnd will be higher than new persona(i heard that the rnd cost for new persona is around 150millions),but its better than atleast 500 millions for totally new chasis n platform.

as ive been mentioned,the refinement they focus rite now isnt only for persona alone,it also for any upcoming product.
