Proton has officially named its upcoming hybrid drivetrain the i-HEV intelligent hybrid system. As you may recall, the company first previewed the technology at the Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS) 2026, where it showcased a new 1.5-litre hybrid engine developed specifically for electrified powertrains.
The national automaker says the drivetrain will make its debut in its upcoming model, currently known by its codename AMA 02. Based on current rumours, the vehicle could eventually be named either the X30 or Saga Cross, although Proton has yet to confirm its official name.
