Since the camouflaged fleet of mules of Proton’s new AMA02 A-segment SUV – rumoured to be called either Saga Cross or X30 – was ‘launched’ last week, many have attempted to unwrap the car with the help of AI. I’ve seen a few of those, and they look as generic as an old-school Chinese SUV can be.
Here’s the work of a pro who has been coming up with car renders way before we heard of artificial intelligence. Theophilus Chin is no stranger to us at paultan.org, and his work is way better than your average AI unmasking, because he studies each line carefully and references the brand’s design cues from other models. This is his vision of the Saga Cross a.k.a. X30.
Looks good, doesn’t it? The camo mules teased a front end that reminds us of the pre-facelift Honda HR-V, from the shape of the lights and grille to the pin decorations in the latter. Along with the hexagonal grille is a distinct ‘X’ face that Perodua likes to use.
