proton saga car key replacement

The current generation Proton Saga, sometimes referred to as the P2-13A Saga, has been on the market since 2016. To keep it ahead of its biggest competitor the Perodua Bezza, Proton gave the A-segment Proton Saga sedan a mid-lifecycle facelift in 2019, adding a new touch screen infotainment, and a new Hyundai-sourced 4-speed automatic replacing the previous car’s lousy CVT, and more importantly, drop its price to be lower than the Bezza. Since the current Saga is basically a heavily modified ver

The Proton Saga is Proton’s bread and butter model, a model that has been (and still is) the default first car option for many car buyers. That quickly changed when Perodua introduced its first-ever sedan, the Bezza, back in 2016. Car buyers now have a new alternative to the evergreen Saga. The third generation Saga was introduced just two months after Perodua unveiled the Bezza, giving its core model a much-needed upgrade. Earlier this week, Proton launched the new Saga, which is basically a mi

The Proton Iriz is the product of the Proton’s ambitious goal at developing a global small car, hence the initial codename, GSC. It made its debut in September 2014, with a whopping eight variants offered at launch. Over the years, Proton trimmed the number of variants, as well as giving the model some updates. In an effort to keep the Iriz competitive against the Perodua Myvi, its main B-segment rival, Proton gave the Iriz its biggest update in 2019, adding features such as a revamped exterior,

The third-generation Proton Saga was introduced back in 2016 and it received its mid-life update in August 2019. Perhaps the biggest improvement done to the Saga was the discontinuation of the Punch-sourced CVT-type automatic transmission, which has been replaced by a Hyundai-sourced four-speed torque converter automatic unit. Previously a B-segment model, Proton has since redesignated the Saga as an A-segment sedan to compete against the Perodua Bezza – the Saga’s primary rival. The Proton Saga

The Proton Saga is the company’s entry-level sedan and competes against the Perodua Bezza in the A-segment sedan market. Let’s take a closer look and see how much are the maintenance and insurance costs of the Proton Saga over a 5-year period. The Proton Saga requires a mandatory oil change at the 1,000 km mark, which costs RM 121.09. It costs RM 632.89 to service the automatic variant of the Saga at the 60,000-km/36-month mark, due to it being a major service, requiring the spark plugs, air fil

Proton was one of the few carmakers to emerge from the 80s (coincidentally, Geely was also part of that small batch). The first car to bear the Proton name was the Proton Saga. Based on the Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore, the Saga was a big deal for Malaysia when it first came to fruition in 1985. Thirty five years later, the Saga remains highly relevant. The compact saloon is affordable and perfect for young families. It is a worthy successor to the “Saga” name. Having evolved over 35 years, the Saga

The 2019 Proton Saga facelift is our national carmaker's most important model launch after the much-hyped Proton X70. It is the most affordable Proton model sold at a price point that most hardworking Malaysians can afford. With the facelift, Proton has elevated its entry-level car to be a desirable product. Proton engineers did not only set out to make the Proton Saga look good but also focused on making it feel good. The latter although quite abstract, can be clearly felt at every important to

If you were to make a simple comparison based Proton's quoted prices for its maintenance plan, the Saga's total maintenance cost over a 5-year/100,000 km period is cheaper than the Bezza by about RM 140. The Perodua Bezza will cost RM 3,149 to maintain while the Proton Saga costs a slightly cheaper RM 3,008. That's a neglibible difference over a five-year/100,000 km period. However, keep

At under RM 40k, there are no other cars that pack quite as much value as the Proton Saga. It drives well, has decent refinement, and a bonus would be the touchscreen infotainment system that is slick to use.

As previously covered, there are splashes of yellow trim in and outside the car, on a predominantly black-coloured car. You can watch the teaser video below. Mechanically, there should be no change from the regular Saga, meaning it soldiers on with a 1.3-litre engine (95 PS, 120 Nm), and a 4-speed automatic gearbox.

The actual cost of owning a car is a lot higher than just your monthly instalments, and we’re not talking about insurance or maintenance, itself already a big chunk of a car’s total ownership cost. Beyond maintenance, depreciation is the biggest ‘cost’ for a car owner. However, very few see it that way because it’s not something that you feel until you have to sell your car. It’s like losing money on stocks; it’s paper loss until you actually sell it, which you have to at some point. Remember th
