2025 Proton Saga MC3 spotted benchmarking Myvi?

The 2025 Proton Saga MC3 has been spotted a few times before, but this time, Amirul Syafiq saw it together with a trade-plated third-gen facelift Perodua Myvi – is Proton benchmarking the upcoming Saga against the Myvi? Had they used a Myvi with normal plates, no one would be the wiser!

Conventional wisdom dictates that the Saga is an A-segment car and the Myvi a B, so perhaps Proton’s engineers are aiming for B-segment refinement levels for their budget sedan. Other parameters such as the Myvi’s packaging, performance and efficiency are also possible.

Or it could be ADAS benchmarking – the Saga MC3 does after all have an ADAS camera at the top of the windscreen. We can also see halogen headlamps and a new ‘winged’ grille, but the back looks quite new, with new lines that suggest changes to the boot, tail lamps and bumper.

Proton has confirmed that we’ll get a new AMA-based Saga this year – is this it? Earlier spyshots show side panels that are the same as the current car, so we hope that this is merely a disguise and the production car will have new body panels. Whether it will have a Proton or Geely engine is still unknown.
