Which variant to buy
Most buyers should pick the Executive at RM44,990: it sits RM6,000 above the Standard and RM5,000 below the Premium, while retaining the same 1,499 cc, 118 hp front-wheel-drive petrol layout and five seats. Pay RM49,990 for the Premium only if a CVT automatic is a priority; the Executive uses a 4AT. The RM38,990 Standard is the entry route. Equipment differences are not specified, so inspect the trim list before treating the price steps as feature upgrades.

Proton Saga buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The MC3 is a meaningful Saga update, pairing a revised AMA platform with a new 1.5-litre engine rather than simply changing the appearance. It has recorded nearly 100,000 bookings, while total Saga sales since 1985 reach 2,203,409 units. Its entry price is RM4,410 above the RM34,580 Perodua Bezza, and the Premium costs RM15,410 more, so the Saga is not the cheaper choice in this comparison.
