Because the shoot wrapped, the automotive was to be moved to a provider. Our photographers pounced on the alternative to seize just a few pictures in and lo and behold, we now have our first few images of the soon-to-be-launched 2022 Proton Saga MC2!
Now clearly, a lot of you’ll have already seen leaked images of the up to date sedan taken from contained in the manufacturing facility by now, so this isn’t fairly a groundbreaking reveal of any kind.

Nonetheless, the brand new grille with the most recent spherical Proton emblem could be seen fairly clearly, along with the pink ethereal bow tucked neatly beneath it. The shuriken-like new alloy wheels could be made out too, as can the blacked out facet mirrors.
Past the plain adjustments, the Saga seems to be just about the identical as earlier than. The bumpers and light-weight clusters back and front look unchanged. These anticipating a extra elaborate visible change could also be dissatisfied, however this can be a minor change train in any case.
Anyway, we already know what to anticipate past the few exterior updates, courtesy of a leaked doc that made the rounds earlier this month. The Saga MC2 will obtain a brand new range-topping 1.3L Premium S AT variant, that includes the brand new 15-inch wheels, entrance bodykit, facet skirts, auto-fold facet mirrors and an up to date trunk lid with a launch change.
Inside, it would get an up to date instrument cluster, leatherette covers for the steering wheel and seats, keyless entry with a push begin button and a sportier trying black headliner. Once more, nothing sport altering, however it would not less than convey it as much as par with its solely competitors, the Perodua Bezza when it comes to inside facilities. The brand new seven-inch floating touchscreen head unit will surpass that, even.
Past that, the 1.3 Normal AT variant is about to obtain digital stability management (ESC), which is huge information. The bottom 1.3 Normal MT will nonetheless exist not less than – being Proton’s final surviving automotive with a handbook transmission – although with out the essential digital help.
Anyway, what do you consider the 2022 Proton Saga MC2 for now – a welcome replace, or are the adjustments too minor to make a dent? Remark beneath!
