Another day, another round of spyshots of the upcoming 2025 Proton Saga MC3 – this time thanks to reader J Phuah, who spotted a pair of them on a highway (like how a pair was recently spotted at a Coldplay concert). Nothing much we haven’t already seen before, although a frontal close-up clearly shows the Ethereal Bow and a concave grille. Here’s what we know so far – the budget sedan is expected to get, for the first time, ADAS (though most likely a basic one), and possibly LED headlamps, to match the Perodua Bezza, which has had both since the 2020 facelift. There should also be a new engine – a non-turbo port-injected BHE15PFI version of the X50 facelift‘s four-cylinder engine. It’s been a long time since the Saga had a 1.5 litre engine, and if it’s going to continue to be marketed as an A-segmenter, that’s a rather big engine for one. Outputs could be around 99-110 PS and 125-135 Nm, beating the Bezza’s 67-94 hp and 91-121 Nm (1.0 and 1.3 litre engines). Expect also a revised exterior (new front and rear bumpers, head and tail lamps, grille and boot lid) and interior (perhaps a new dashboard, pill-shaped air vents, redesigned air-con switchgear and the X50’s three-spoke D-shaped steering wheel), although the platform can trace its origins to the 2008 Saga BLM. All will be revealed by the fourth quarter. Excited? Theophilus Chin’s idea of what the 2025 Proton Saga MC3 could look like Proton Saga MC3 spyshots since January
