FactThe Saga nameplate has outsold every other Proton, passing 2 million units since it started life in 1985 as a rebadged Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore.
The third-generation Proton Saga (BT, codenamed P2-13A), launched 28 September 2016 as the successor to the second-generation Saga and based on the outgoing Saga FLX platform, uses the Iriz's 1.3-litre VVT engine at 94 PS (69 kW); positioned as Proton's entry-level A-segment sedan below the Persona, it added electronic stability control and a 20% stronger body, earning a 4-star ASEAN NCAP rating. The Saga is Proton's longest-running and best-selling nameplate (over 2 million sold, 1985-2024): the first generation (1985-1992) was a Mitsubishi-Lancer-Fiore-based joint venture with Mitsubishi, the second (2008) an in-house stretched Savvy platform, and a 2025 update moved to the AMA platform with a 1.5-litre i-GT engine.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
