Proton Saga Plus – Additional features at no extra cost
Proton is offering even more value for its entry-level Saga model, with the new Saga Plus rolled in to replace the Saga SV offering an uprated appearance without any increase in price.
Powered by Proton’s venerable 1.3-litre Campro IAFM engine, the Saga Plus is available with a choice of transmissions between a Getrag-sourced 5-speed manual or a CVT sourced from Belgian supplier Punch.
Pricing ranges from RM33,242 to RM36,576 depending on selection of transmission and paint type. Proton has additionally announced that higher variants of the Saga, namely the 1.3 Executive and 1.6 SE, will be discontinued henceforth.
The Saga Plus features five exterior changes. The car is fitted with 14” inch alloy rims, a full body kit, spoiler, rear garnish body colour and a ‘Plus’ grade mark.
“The model carries the exterior of the Saga Executive variant while retaining the SV price bracket. This means that there is no price increase despite having the improved looks,” said Dato’ Abdul Harith Abdullah, Chief Executive of Proton.
Available for viewing at Proton showrooms beginning 15 August, the Saga Plus is now officially open for booking and is available in five colour choices – Tranquility Black, Fire Red, Genetic Silver, Solid White and Elegant Brown. It is covered with a three-year or 60,000km warranty.
