The Proton Saga posted its best Q1 sales volume since 2013 with 18,247 units delivered in the first three months of 2024. In March alone, 5,906 units of the Saga (including 93 units for export) made their way to customers, placing the model second in the Malaysian A-segment sedan market.
The March 2024 sales volume for the Saga is less when compared to the same month last year (6,313 units), but more units of the sedan were sold in Q1 2024 than in Q1 2023 (17,446 units). Last year, Proton sold a total of 70,184 units of the Saga, so the Q1 2024 figure is 26% of that.
At present, all variants of the Saga are powered by a 1.3 litre naturally-aspirated inline-four petrol engine, paired with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.
The range starts from RM34,800 on-the-road without insurance for the base 1.3L Standard MT and goes all the way up to RM44,800 for the range-topping 1.3L Premium S AT – the 1.3L Standard (RM38,800) and 1.3L Premium AT (RM41,800) sit between the two ends.

Best choice to buy and drives a new Savvy Sedan
Is this good news or does it mean people cannot afford better, safer options, like Honda, Toyota, Kia…?
A decent value no nonsense car, no 6~7 airbags, no auto start stop, no auto cruise, no pedal shift, no sensing, no auto brake. Can start, can accelerate, can brake, bring u A to B. That’s it, SAGA.
If Saga sales shoot up means our economy shoots down. Not a good sign. Perople are getting poorer because our Gov is useless in creating or encouraging opportunities. Way to create jobs is to create an environment that encourages more people to start or survive small businesses (low operating cost for sSME such as low road tax for their trucks, low tax or no tax for the first 5 years etc). Same incentives can be given to big foreign companies (> USD 500mil companies) that want to set up factories in Malaysia. So simple but yet our OKU ministers don’t know.
