Professional Render of Proton Saga Cross/X30 by Theophilus Chin – Design Preview
Following the "launch" of Proton's new AMA02 A-segment SUV (rumoured Saga Cross or X30) camouflage mules last week, many attempted to unwrap the car using AI. However, professional car designer Theophilus Chin created a render that far exceeds typical AI unmasking, carefully studying design lines and referencing the brand's existing cues. His render shows a front end reminiscent of the pre-facelift Honda HR-V in headlight and grille shape, plus Perodua's signature hexagonal grille and 'X' face. The profile features a prominent shoulder line above the front and rear wheels, with a black element on the rearmost pillars creating a floating roof effect conducive to two-tone color schemes. The rear has a full-width LED strip above the Proton script, with the number plate recess following the X50 facelift's lead. The render's stance is notably better than the ungainly mules seen so far.
