It’s not every day that a legend is reborn. But at Tanjong Malim, history was made as Proton unveiled the All-New Saga. It’s a symbol of how far Malaysian engineering has come. Built entirely by homegrown talent, this latest Saga is proof that passion and innovation can drive a nation forward.
Designed By Malaysians, Engineered For The World
For the first time in Proton’s history, the Saga has been fully designed, engineered, and validated by Malaysian experts. This is also with technical collaboration from Geely. This milestone reflects Proton’s bold transition from a national brand to a global automotive innovator.
At its heart lies the new Advanced Modular Architecture (AMA) platform, a flexible, future-ready foundation built to meet international safety and performance standards. This platform not only enhances driving dynamics but also opens doors for Malaysia to become a regional engineering hub within the Geely ecosystem.
The All-New Saga doesn’t just carry the tagline “Intelligence That Thrills”, it lives it. With 35 brand-new features, it redefines what an A-segment sedan can offer. This ought to combine style, intelligence, and driving confidence in one striking package.
Smarter, Safer, And Smoother
Proton’s I.C.O.N. concept, Impressive Performance, Comprehensive Safety, Optimised Intelligence, and Next-Gen Style, sums up what this car is all about.
Under the hood, the i-GT 1.5-litre engine paired with a CVT transmission ensures smooth, efficient performance with fuel consumption rated at just 4.9L/100 km. The new Electric Power Steering (EPS) enhances manoeuvrability. While Proton’s signature ride and handling deliver the perfect balance of comfort and control.
Safety takes centre stage with Level 1 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) featuring nine intelligent safety functions such as Autonomous Emergency Braking, Rear Collision Warning, and Lane Departure Warning. Add six airbags and the Reinforced Safety Structure (RESS), and you get one of the safest cars in its class.
Inside, a stunning 16-inch Integrated Dual Screen brings the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system together — supporting wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Smart features like auto headlamps, Follow-Me-Home lighting, and headlamp levelling make every drive smarter and more convenient.
A Modern Design That Reflects Malaysian Pride
The All-New Saga stands out with a refreshed and confident look, featuring Full LED Projector Headlamps, Daytime Running Lamps, and a bold front grille inspired by the Sulaman Songket motif, a nod to Malaysia’s cultural identity.
Its Full LED Rear Taillight Bar and two-tone 15-inch alloy wheels complete a look that’s distinctly modern yet proudly local. Inside, the refined interior offers a blend of elegance and practicality, making every journey as enjoyable as the destination.
As Proton Deputy CEO Zhang Qiang puts it:
“It’s a car created by Malaysians, for Malaysians, and now ready to showcase our engineering capability to the world.”
The Legacy Continues
With its official launch just around the corner, Proton is rolling out nationwide promotions, media collaborations, and livestream events to celebrate Malaysia’s most iconic sedan reborn.
The All-New Proton Saga is like a movement. A story of progress, pride, and the power of local talent driving towards a smarter, more connected future.
