A vintage Malaysian Proton Saga Iswara car unexpectedly appears in a recent Apple iPhone 18 Pro video. The classic sedan, known for being a getaway vehicle in a 58-second chase, was filmed in the UK. The video, part of Apple's #ShotoniPhone18Pro series, was directed by Matt Lewis and showcases youngsters trying to escape a mysterious man in a continuous one-take sequence.
Lewis utilized the iPhone 18 Pro’s variable aperture to create practical focus shifts while maintaining challenging camera movement. Malaysian viewers quickly spotted the iconic car, with some expressing pride at the Saga Iswara making a surprise appearance in an international production. The UK-market version of the Iswara was called Proton Mpi and received several changes to meet local emissions requirements.
Interestingly, the car featured in the Apple video has a sunroof, which was an option on some UK-market cars. The Proton Saga Iswara was first introduced in Malaysia on August 15, 1992, and continued to use Mitsubishi-derived engines until its production ended.
