Proton Pakistan has finally launched the much-awaited sedan, Proton Saga, in a digital launch event. Saga is Proton’s second car in Pakistan, after Proton X70. Al-Haj Proton has introduced the Saga sedan in three variants, Standard MT (Manual Transmission), Standard AT (Auto Transmission), and Ace AT (Auto Transmission).
An interesting part of the Saga’s launch in Pakistan is that Al-Haj Motors has also introduced a Sports variant of the car, but in a limited edition. This variant is called R3 for ‘Race, Rally, and Research’ to give Pakistanis a taste of Proton’s motorsports vehicles. Al-Haj Proton is offering only 100 CBU units of this variant.
