Proton Saga: P2-13A vs P2-14A
Verdict
The P2-14A asks RM5,399 more and swaps the Proton Saga P2-13A’s 1,332 cc manual drivetrain for a 1,499 cc conventional automatic with 118 hp and 150 Nm, up from 94 hp and 120 Nm. That matters more in daily traffic than the small body growth: length rises 59 mm and height 34 mm, while the 2,465 mm wheelbase and 420-litre boot stay the same. The Proton Saga P2-13A fights back with RM70 road tax and a stated 5.4 L/100 km; the Proton Saga P2-14A is RM90 and has no fuel-use figure.
Pick the Proton Saga P2-13A if your priority is lower cost and running-cost clarity: manual drive, RM70 road tax and 5.4 L/100 km.
Pick the Proton Saga P2-14A if you want the conventional automatic and the stronger 1,499 cc engine with 118 hp and 150 Nm.
