Earlier this month, all car companies (except Changan and Proton) increased their car prices. KIA took the lead, followed by Toyota, Honda, Suzuki, Prince DFSK, Hyundai, and United Motors, all hiked their prices. Two weeks later, Changan did the honors yesterday, And now Proton has also made the big move of increasing the Proton Saga prices.
Like Changan, Proton made massive price changes of Rs. 224,000 for all three variants of SAGA. New ex-factory prices of CKD Proton SAGA variants are now in effect.
New Prices of Proton SAGA
After a price hike of Rs. 224,000 across the lineup, the new price of Proton SAGA Standard manual variant has become Rs. 2,149,000. The base variant’s old price was Rs. 1,925,000.
The new price of Proton SAGA Standard automatic variant has become Rs. 2,299,000. The mid variant’s old price was Rs. 2,075,000.
The new price of Proton SAGA ACE automatic variant has become Rs. 2,399,000. The top-of-the-line variant’s old price was Rs. 2,175,000.
Deliveries of CKD Proton SAGA
Proton has just dispatched the first batch of CKD units of the Proton Saga. The dealerships will receive the units and start delivering the booked cars to buyers very soon.
Proton brought great news for the existing SAGA buyers and a bad one for its future customers on the same day. But that’s just how the game works, folks.
And that’s a wrap on season 2 of Car Price Hike 2021. All companies have played their roles by revising their prices. Of course, consumers are not cool with the events in the series, just had no choice but to watch.
The next season of this series will be released next year. Until then, give this one a rating out of 10 and name your favorite star (car company) from season 2 of Car Price Hike 2021.
A very creative way to lighten the mood, great work author.
I think that if anyone deserves a basket of rotten eggs thrown at them, it is I.M.C., with profits running in trillions, they had no valid reason to revise their prices by a large difference of around PKR 200,000 on Corolla or Yaris or for that matter any other vehicle. However, you are right author, I can do nothing but gnash my teeth on their decision.
P.S. So Proton still remains the most cheapest sedan, well, at this price, it still can lure Cultus’s customers into its fold. Toyota Yaris now already seems to be feeling Honda City’s heat, it is possible that with such a large difference between Yaris and Saga now. Toyota Yaris may start sweating.
@Khurram
Kind of agree wiith you, if we took into consideration the added features of Proton, we can say this is some kind of compensation, they also start deliveries of CKD units, maybe Proton is changing in a good way, if the deliveries time become more reasonable they are no doubt they will be successful.
@Waqas, thank you brother, I agree that delivery dates would add to the success of the Saga
