A couple of days ago, we reported that Proton is in the midst of growing their export business, expanding the business to various new markets.

Though not an entirely new market, it appears that Proton is quietly gearing up to introduce the Proton Saga in Egypt, as seen on several social media postings.  

Seen here is the current-generation Proton Saga facelift that was introduced in Malaysia in August 2019. At a glance, it appears that the Egypt-bound units are visually identical to the Malaysian-spec cars, down to the variants – 1.3 Standard MT, 1.3 Standard AT, and 1.3 Premium AT.

Prices are said to start from EGP 166,900 (~RM 43k) for the base model, before topping out at EGP 202,900 (~RM 52k) for the range-topping Premium variant. Pricey? Indeed.

Like its Malaysian siblings, units sold in Egypt feature a 1.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that does 95 PS and 120 Nm, hooked up to a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.

Safety equipment include twin airbags, ABS, EBD, and Brake Assist. Unlike the Malaysian-spec cars, the Egypt-spec Saga lacks front parking sensors and stability control.
