Proton has unveiled the specifications for the 2026 Proton Saga A-segment sedan, set to launch soon.
While it still utilizes the same platform, the Saga now features a refreshed look, a new engine, and a more modern dashboard layout.
Here are some key facts you should know:
Engine
The lifespan of the Campro 1.3-liter engine has come to an end; the Saga is now equipped with a new 1.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-four engine producing 120 PS and 150 Nm of torque.
According to Proton, this Atkinson cycle engine, equipped with DVVT technology, can offer the following benefits:
Fuel consumption as low as 4.9 liters per 100 km, representing a 14.04 percent improvement in efficiency.
A 25.24 percent reduction in noise, contributing to better NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) levels.
There are two transmission options available: a CVT specifically for the Premium variant and a 4-speed automatic transmission for the Executive and Standard variants.
Safety
The 2026 Proton Saga now offers significantly enhanced safety features compared to its predecessor.
It comes equipped with six airbags (likely for the higher variants), as well as nine ADAS functions assisted by a monocular camera system and rear side radar (RSRS), including:
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
Forward Vehicle Moving Alert (FDA)
Intelligent High Beam Control (IHBC)
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
Door Opening Warning (DOW)
Rear Collision Warning (RCW)
Lane Change Assistance (LCA)
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
Additionally, the Saga’s chassis is reinforced with four RESS (Reinforced Safety Structure) components.
Cabin
The Saga’s cabin is now outfitted with a 16-inch horizontal screen featuring two integrated displays: a 7-inch digital meter screen and a 9-inch infotainment screen.
Good news—the Saga now supports wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The air conditioning vents have also received a fresh design along with the gear knob, while the steering wheel remains the same unit found in the Proton X50.
Unlike previous versions which relied on hydraulic steering, the 2026 Saga now features an Electric Power Steering (EPS) system.
Other features include two-tone leatherette seats, storage in the center console, a Type-A USB charging port, a tea hook, and physical climate control knobs.
According to Proton, the dimensions of the front and rear seats are now larger and wider.
Exterior
From the side, the Saga does not showcase major changes, except for the all-new 15-inch wheel design (14-inch for the Standard variant).
From the front, the Saga comes with LED projector headlights complete with LED daytime running lights (DRL), followed by a grille adorned with songket embroidery elements and the Ethereal Bow design.
The rear lights have also been updated with neater 3D graphics.
With all these new features and improvements valued at RM12,000, what price will Proton set for this new Saga?
