The steering wheel remains the same effortless even at high speeds and makes the handling confidence-inspiring. It has always been a priority by customers because of its dynamic sophistication that makes high-speed cruising even more fun.

Verdict:

Proton Saga is the most loved car in Malaysia, just like our Suzuki Mehran which is owned by almost every house at least once in a lifetime, and its popularity is still the same as proved by its sales. Sales of Proton Saga reach the highest level up till now in June 2020 which shows people’s love for it. The entry of Proton Saga into the Pakistani auto market is a threat not only to all its rivals but also to prove to be a worthy option to own, and we expect a welcoming market for Saga in our country too.
