Proton launched two new models at the Felda Settlers Day in Johor today – the Proton Saga SE and the Proton Exora 1.6 manual.
From the info I am getting now, the Saga SE uses a 1.3 litre Campro IAFM engine as before (the sole 1.6 litre model continues in taxi spec), but comes with aesthetic and equipment changes, while the Proton Exora 1.6 M/T like its namesake comes with a manual transmission. The Proton team is having trouble sending full specs and press release over because they are in an area without internet access now but at least we have the prices:
- Proton Saga SE Manual – RM43,000
- Proton Saga SE Auto – RM45,500
- Proton Exora M/T Solid – RM64,548.00
- Proton Exora M/T Metallic – RM64,998.00
More details and photos of the new car to come later.
UPDATE: Look after the jump for an event photo gallery of the Saga SE.
