2019 Proton Saga 4AT Is Cheaper To Maintain Than the Saga FLX CVT and Perodua Bezza

RM683.90 cheaper over 5 years/100,000 km Transmission fluid is less costly to replace Optimised service intervals Proton has put in extensive effort into marketing the benefits and rationale to switching from their punch-sourced Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) to a Hyundai-sourced 4-speed torque converter in the facelifted 2019 Proton Saga. Besides boasting stronger acceleration and improved drivability, there is also another (huge) benefit of switching to the 4AT – lower maintenance. Ove

Evolution of the Proton Saga in 35 years  - The pride of Malaysia or wasted potential?

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

Evolusi Proton Saga: Kebanggaan Malaysia atau potensi yang sia-sia?

Proton ialah antara beberapa syarikat pengeluar kenderaan yang muncul pada era 80-an. Kereta pertama yang menggunakan nama Proton adalah Proton Saga. Dibangunkan berdasarkan Mitsubishi Lancar Fiore, Saga merupakan antara keunggulan Malaysia sewaktu ia dirasmikan pada tahun 1985. Untuk pengetahuan anda, sedan kompak ini dihasilkan untuk berharga mampu milik dan sesuai untuk keluarga muda. 35 tahun kemudian, ia masih relevan. Sedan ini masih memiliki kekuatan yang ada pada nama “Saga” selama ini.

Pros and Cons: Proton Persona – Punchy handling, punched out CVT

The Proton Persona might be one of the most exciting-handling cars on a budget. No, I’m serious and this is coming from someone who has very mixed feelings on the Exora. The Persona might be one of those cars that would look great as a sleeper and it even comes with a manual, if you’re the sort who prefers a traditional, engaging drive at the expense of creature comforts. But enough reminiscing over the beauty (and sometimes left leg aching pain) of a manual, most people these days would rather

In Brief: Proton Saga, best value for money under RM 40k?

The Proton Saga received a facelift in 2019 with a host of updates. On top of that, prices were reduced, starting from RM 32,800 (RM 32,400 without SST) for the Standard MT and RM 39,800 (RM 39,300 without SST) for the Premium AT. One of the most significant changes in the facelift exercise is the new 4-speed automatic transmission, replacing the CVT. Pros and cons Having lived with both the Saga FLX and Saga 2019, the 4-speed automatic is a far better daily companion. The transmission works smo

Is it true that  cars with CVT are less reliable?

The benefits of CVT have been repeated many and many times over – simple design, better fuel efficiency, smooth gear shifts, and infinite gear ratios. So much so, that city cars by Nissan, Honda, and Toyota mainly use CVTs. Common fears regarding CVT are overheating CVTs and snapped CVT belts. But how much truth is there to these fears? 1.

Another 2020 Proton Saga Anniversary Edition teaser

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.

Evolution of the Proton Persona in 27 years – Will it ever match the City and Vios?

Back in 1993, the most preferred body-type for a car was a saloon. The Proton Persona debuted, and back then, we knew it as the Proton Wira. The Wira was known as the Persona in UK. Alongside the Wira, the Satria was called the Persona Compact, and the Putra was the Persona Coupe. For 2 generations, the Persona was a C-segment saloon. Things were revamped in 2016, and the Persona name was redesignated to an Iriz-based B-segment sedan. A lot has changed over 27 years, but the Persona remains an a
