It didn’t take long for Malaysian car buyers to warm up to the Proton Saga Anniversary Edition, as the national carmaker has announced that it only took five days for all 1,100 units to be sold out. The special edition model was first launched on July 9, 2020 to celebrate the Saga nameplate, which turned 35 years old on the date.
All 1,100 units are based on the existing Premium AT variant, with some model-specific design elements to make it stand out in a crowd. For starters, the Quartz Black paintjob is unique to the Anniversary Edition, as it is not offered for the normal Saga line-up. In fact, the colour is only applied on cars that Proton makes for the government as well as the X70 Merdeka Edition‘s roof.
For contrast, the car features yellow highlights on the grille and lip portion of the front bumper, while the side skirts and wing mirror caps also get the same treatment. The choice of yellow is a nod to Proton’s motorsports division, R3, and you’ll also see it in the lower apron of the rear bumper. Rounding up the list of exterior enhancements is a set of 15-inch five-twin-spoke alloys in a matte grey finish instead of the shiny look found on the Premium AT.
Moving inside, the yellow-on-black theme continues with bright highlights seen on the instrument panel, the bezel of the storage cubby beneath the air con vents and on the tips of all four AC vents. Additionally, the previous silver trim around the vents and the touchscreen head unit surround has also been swapped out for gloss black units. There’s also a new N95 cabin filter, which is now standard for the entire Proton range of vehicles as of July 9.
No changes under the bonnet, as the Saga’s 1.3 litre four-cylinder engine still pushes out 95 PS and 120 Nm of torque, paired with a Hyundai-sourced four-speed torque converter automatic. The latter came as part of the Saga’s facelift in 2019, replacing the old CVT.
Every Anniversary Edition is priced the same as the Premium AT despite the added goodies, so that’s RM39,300 on-the-road without insurance – this factors in the current 2020 sales tax exemption. However, the bodykit, which consists of a front chin spoiler and side skirts (all three pieces have yellow stripes) is a RM2,035 option (RM315 off the normal price of RM2,350).
The bodykit can be fitted to all 2019 Sagas, but you can only have it in black/yellow, at the normal price. Also included in the package are door visors, NVH insulation for the bonnet and boot, and a plastic boot tray. With the option included, the Anniversary Edition’s price goes up to RM41,335.

Geely done a good job in creating this GC anniversary edition, this is why Proton is able to sell the limited Saga edition easily

lembu punya susu, babi dapat nama?
I get what you mean, but E classes are taxis in Germany, so..
heard that the accessories is not an option but compulsory
I also ‘heard’ that this is a limited run….just like what most manufacturer did for their limited run model.
Want a normal option, go for normal variant.
That’s why its called a special edition bro.. thats how it works..lol
let’s start another anniversary edition which is New Malaysia Edition with the Saga with red highlights. produce only 1,000 units and it will be sold within 5 days. just change color can sell already. trust me, it will.
I think the Myvi is a better buy with the 1.3 now having ASA.
Why buy a dangerous car?
I wont say its dangerous,just not as safe as other 5 Star NCAP rating cars.
What makes a car dangerous?
Its the idiot behind the wheel.
If we get the statistic of which vehicle causes or involved in more accidents, can we conclude that model is a dangerous car?
I think some 2nd hand German made vehicle will be a better buy that the new 1.3 Myvi.
Why buy a Myvi?
I still see Myvi in accidents even with ASA. So what did happen, the system didn’t work as advertised? *Looks at Elon*
ok, stock cleared
waiting for new Saga now
Congratulations, Proton Good Job! Hopefully proton continues improving on Saga, maybe 1.4L turbo, 6/7 airbags, etc in future.. SAGA should be Malaysian pride.
Looking forward for X70 special edition if there is going to be one for 35 years proton anniversary & merdeka celebration
kesian malaysian…lol
Until now I still don’t know what is that hole beside the right aircon vents??? Is that for Keyless Start Stop button at the beginning of the design?
Most probably its for instrument light dimmer. The saga S16 got it for australian market.
Some market prefer certain acc.
Now, let’s make Hari Kebangsaan 2020 version.
Colour scheme? Jalur gemilang. Purchase of car should be complimented with specel registration plate.
Nahh…forget abt the special reg number.
Sell it at a very premium price and buyer will not just get the car but a herritage car like the EO1 powered GTI or PV6 or PERT car which is made road legal.
