Proton Saga: P2-13A Facelift vs P2-14A
Verdict
This is a straight old-versus-new Saga call. The Proton Saga P2-13A Facelift costs RM32,400 and keeps things simple with a 1,332 cc manual drivetrain, while the Proton Saga P2-14A is RM38,990 and moves to a 1,499 cc conventional automatic with 118 hp and 150 Nm. The cabin brief is unchanged: five seats, a 2,465 mm wheelbase and a 420-litre boot for both. For Malaysia, the RM6,590 gap buys more engine and auto convenience, but road tax also rises from RM70 to RM90.
