Proton has launched a new Proton Savvy variant called the Proton Savvy Lite that comes in both 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT automatic form. The report by Bernama is a little too vague and only reports the price of these two cars – RM33,549 for the manual and RM36,549 for the AMT, a big saving compared to the standard Savvy’s price of RM40,240 for the manual and RM43,182.12 for the AMT.
I have no details on the differences between the Savvy and the Savvy Lite at this time, but I am guess steel wheels, cassette player and other really baseline specs like unpainted bumpers. Will get full details and post them soon.
Something that benefits all Proton Savvy owners is the announcement that prices of Proton Savvy replacement parts have been reduced by up to a maximum of 30%.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the Proton Savvy Lite highlight its affordable price point, starting from RM33,549, making it attractive for budget-conscious consumers and first-time car buyers. Many appreciate that it is a lower-priced, simplified version of the original Savvy, with downgraded features such as no power windows, rear wiper, or alarm, and only available in basic colors. Enthusiasts see it as a strategic move by Proton to stay competitive against Perodua Viva and Myvi, aiming to offer a basic yet reliable city car. Some express concerns about quality and the limited features due to cost-cutting, viewing it as a descope or rebadged model, while others believe it could boost sales by capturing a more price-sensitive segment. Overall, the tone is mixed but leans towards acceptance of its value based on price and functionality.
