Proton is also happy to announce that they sold 5,666 units of the Saga in November 2021, which Proton claims is the number one seller in the A-segment sedan market, implying that it outsold the Perodua Bezza.

To recap, the updated Proton Saga introduced in 2019 comes with a new 4-speed torque converter automatic transmission mated to its 1.3-litre VVT engine that does 95 PS and 120 Nm.

The Saga also sported the family’s signature Infinite Weave grille, LED DRLs, and 15-inch wheels. Proton has also done away with the logo on the rear in favour of the word Proton emblazoned across the back.

Inside, the Saga featured a new Android-based 7-inch touchscreen head unit with Bluetooth connectivity and 16 GB internal storage.

Based on spy shots, Proton might be updating the Saga soon as a version with the new round Proton logo was seen testing on the road just last month.

There isn’t a time in memory that doesn’t involve staring at cars. After discovering the excitement of watching Schumacher vs Hakkinen, Formula 1 became a major part of life. The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
