The all-new Proton Saga will be officially launched on 27 November. The launch date was confirmed by a livestream event listing on the national automaker’s official Facebook page.
Among the details that are expected to be announced at the grand launch event for the 2026 Proton Saga is the car’s finalised price tag. The automaker has previously stated that the new model is tentatively priced between RM40,000 and RM50,000.
The company is also offering free service for 1 year or 20,000km and a limited edition Touch ‘n Go card for the first 20,000 customers who book the Saga and complete the vehicle registration process by 31 December 2025.
As a comparison, its predecessor, Proton Saga MC2, is currently being priced from RM34,800 to RM44,800. So, it seems plausible that the new Proton Saga MC3 is going to be priced slightly lower than the tentative pricing.
Meanwhile, the new model has received a rather positive reaction from consumers, as more than 10,000 units have been booked so far. The Deputy CEO of Proton, Ir. Abdul Rashid Musa has previously said that deliveries will begin immediately after the launch.
One of the biggest changes that comes with the all-new Saga is a completely fresh face. This is mainly in the form of a new front grille featuring the Sulaman Songket motif, which is being flanked by LED projector headlamps that include Daytime Running Lamps (DRL).
The all-new Saga also features a redesigned taillight, which is inclusive of a full LED light bar. In addition to that, the new budget-oriented sedan will ride on the newly designed 15-inch alloy wheels with a dual-tone finish.
Under the hood, the all-new Saga receives a significant upgrade through the new 1.5L i-GT engine. This is the same engine that powers the 2026 Proton X50, but without the turbocharger.
With a maximum power output of 118hp (88kW) alongside 150Nm of torque, the engine is paired with a CVT for the Premium variant, while the Executive and Standard variants received a 4-speed automatic transmission. Proton claimed that the new 1.5L i-GT engine has a fuel consumption of just 4.9L/100km when paired with CVT.
The new sedan has also been fitted with an Electric Power Steering for a more refined driving experience. Proton also said that its signature ride and handling tuning ensures that the all-new Saga can deliver a perfect balance of comfort and control.
After delivering AACP at launch for the 2026 Proton X50 and Proton e.MAS 5, it is now the all-new Proton Saga’s turn to have the feature. That’s correct: the 2026 Saga supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (AACP) via wired or wireless connections.
At the same time, the car also features a 7-inch digital instrument cluster together with a 9-inch infotainment display. Proton has also equipped the all-new Saga with a Level 1 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS).
This system enables 9 key safety features:
This ADAS suite is complemented by standard safety features, including 6 airbags and a Proton Reinforced Safety Structure (RESS) built with Hot Press Forming (HPF) components.
