A new presentation slide hints at Proton releasing a new Saga model and upgrading the X70 MC and S70 MC with a new four-cylinder engine.
Current S70 and X70 models are powered by a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine, while the new engine is expected to bring improved performance to these models.
Latest X70 version was launched in August 2024 with enhanced features and styling inspired by its Geely group sibling, the 2022 Boyue.
The new four-cylinder engine is speculated to become the main power source for Proton vehicles, offering increased performance compared to the existing three-cylinder engine.
