PROTON has introduced a new variant of the Saga FL, empowering its best-selling model with an even bigger heart in the form of a 1.6-litre engine. At RM46,549 – only RM3,700 above the selling price of the current 1.3 Saga FL Executive – the all-new variant is powered by the 1600cc Campro IAFM engine, and is available only with automatic transmission and in solid white colour. Bookings commence immediately, and the new variant can be viewed at all PROTON showrooms nationwide.
Distinguishing the 1.6-litre variant are new alloy wheels and decorative body stickers, while its interior features such as air ventilation outlets, centre panel, door inner handle and steering ring, exhibit an elegant dark chrome finishing. Other features that come standard with the car are dual front airbags with seatbelt pre-tensioner, audio control switches built into the steering wheel, an audio system with USB port and side mirrors with built-in LED indicator lights.
With the introduction of the Saga FL (face lifted variant) in December 2010, sales of the Saga had risen to an average of 6,700 units per month. PROTON expects sales of the new 1.6-litre variant to average 300 units per month, which would contribute towards the projected sale of 83,000 units of the Saga during its 2011/2012 financial year. The company also hopes to sell a total of 173,000 units of Proton cars during its current financial year, which accounts for being 7% higher than the 162,012 vehicles sold during the last financial year. This would move PROTON’s domestic market share up to 28%.
Meanwhile, PROTON also simultaneously introduced a new signature solid white colour for the Persona. The 1600cc solid white Persona is available in both automatic and manual and is priced at RM59,049 for the High Line (automatic), RM55,549 for the Medium Line (automatic), and RM52,549 for the Medium Line (manual).
