In a recent statement, Proton has confirmed that it is working closely with Geely to explore model enhancement activities for the existing Saga.

According to the national car manufacturer, the collaborative efforts with Geely, which have been conducted for several years, have been accelerated after the establishment of the Proton R&D Centre (China) in April this year.

Detailed information and a timeline for the launch of the new Saga were not disclosed; however, Proton stated that the upgrading of the Proton’s homegrown models involves leveraging joint resources with Geely and is led by Proton R&D engineers in Malaysia.

“The ability to conceptualise, design, develop and manufacture new vehicles from the ground up is unique for Proton as a national brand. These abilities have now been strengthened by enhancing the synergies of Proton’s existing in-house competencies with the resources and know-how of Geely,” the company said.


In the same statement, Proton informed that the Saga, which is now in its 39th year of production, recorded remarkable sales of 7,855 units last month. This marks the best single-month achievement for the model since October 2013.

Cumulatively, year-to-date (YTD) sales for the model have grown 8.8% year-on-year to 42,693 units, setting the stage for a stellar sales year ahead.

Since the first Proton Saga began rolling off the production lines on 9 July 1985, its sales have surpassed the 2 million mark this year, solidifying its status as the most popular model from a Malaysian automotive brand.

In celebration of Malaysia’s National Day and as a gesture of giving back to the rakyat, Proton has launched the “Saga-Merdeka Easy to Own” campaign, offering various incentives and exclusive deals throughout the month of August.

During the month-long period, the company is offering RM500 cash rebate on the purchase of any Proton Saga model. On top of that, Maybank customers are eligible for an additional RM200 rebate when the promotional message from Maybank is presented by the customer in any participating Proton dealers.

Bezza got power of Toyota. Japanese car no. 1 in Malaysia

Birapa kali mao facelift daaaa???

so it's no longer national brand?

what protonfags gonna cope now?

They have to tread carefully on Saga replacement…

This model their reliable long time bread and butter volume sales coming from

Last month pecah rekod 8k sales for saga alone lagi…

cvt

Mana tahu tiba-tiba Saga is our first kereta terbang.

But the model is quite old and it’s really bound for replacement

1.1 tebu at best. Need to keep price down.

put 1.5 turbo dct sure pecah rekod ovari lagi. 10k sales per month confirm

malam at cyberjaya can race

Inkambing 3 cylinder Saga!
Owai.....

Don't mis 3 cylinder
Lol

Can still keep the cost down?

Put the current x50/70 3cyc turbo engine since already locally build then next gen x50/70 shd use new engine so the old 3cyc still can continue their production .

Saga Tongsan Edition

3pots and hai FC, in the end bezza still outsold saga 100:1

EV Saga with 300HP, 500KM range, 12 speaker Harmon Kardon sound system with subwoofer and amplifier, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay all for RM60,000.

" recorded remarkable sales of 7,855 units last month. "

so u banggala ?

try put city/vios at same price 38k, see still got remarkable o not.

ppl buy coz there are no better option liao

they already got a project team in geely HQ looking into the Saga.

I don't know whether Geely have the same size car or not. It seems to me that they have bigger cars like Proton S70, and nothing lower than that. Saga size is more popular in countries like Malaysia or even India and Indonesia.

heard that there will be yet another facelift on saga. saga MC3, will move production to Tanjung malim and have enchancement on interior and engine tuning (will still use vvt 1.3 engine)

the replacement is also under development (will combine saga and persona into one replacement) but will not be done until at least 2026. thats why proton developing mc3 saga for late 2024/early 2025 first

Why not just replace with geely rebadge model?

It will end up Saga being replaced and rebadged by a Geely sedan?

must thanks dage Geely for helping to modernise Proton. Proton is a dinosaur due to kampung people management. Need Dage smart engineers to teach third world engineers

no geely rebaged model currently available to replace saga yet. (used to have geely MK, its OG vios clone and was already discontinued)
nope

I don't think people mind if it is 1.5T

add turbo to potong saga

I thought they are looking at Geely cheapest Sedan?

Being renamed Sagee?

Malay guy : "Boss ini kereta apa nama ?"

Car seller : "Geely Yuanjing"

Malay guy : "APA YOU CAKAP ! ANJING ?"

Car seller : "YES ! YOU ANJING !

No no no. Saga is iconic thus should not have a ten badge as replacement

Apa Kata rename tu Tauge je.

Sound like come red, 月经to me

geely current cheapest sedan in china is emgrand 4th gen aka proton s70

Finally, after a year

Where you get?
3 launches in q4?
Lol

Compared to the functions that the Chinese brands come with, I rather go for Chinese cars. Proton behind times already.

Topkek sure delays again

Rm40k Saga become RM80k.

Topup a bit can get (__________).

Our market so small n want to have own design, really topcake. Stupid Mamak pet which until now cant be export cos uncompetitive. Need protection just like all other policies.

national car = rebadged car nia. lol

even with china's knowledge, input and production, proton still uncompetitive days a lot..
we have assembly plants outside malaysia, selling cheaper than local.. still dead fish

but still milo tins ?

for RM35k?

give me all this shit tech for what if pakai buang

not buying unless they resolve the spare part issue

satria waja saga persona owner here

We cum seeing proton logo. We double cum seeing geely rebranded models.

Tapi engine Dari Daihatsu yang memang low quality power.

Tutup jela Proton. Just use Geely. We need to feed Proton staff so gov have an excuse to tax from us. We double rugi. Our hard earned money.

See how clever the gov.

Hapus Proton, hapus Perodua, hapus cukai kereta.

Belilah 1+1

that's the deposit!..there's lots of baggage to feed
