The Proton Saga, one of the best-selling models in Malaysia, has a new variant – the SE (Special Edition) which adds a sporty image to the line-up. Unveiled at the FELDA Hari Peneroka 2009 event in Segamat today, the new Saga SE is said to be targeted at younger buyers.

To be priced at around RM43,000 with a manual transmission (around RM45,000 with automatic transmission), it will be available in two exclusive colours - Brilliant Red and Solid White. The Saga SE has a distinctive appearance with its black rooftop and front grille, pronounced front and side skirting, rear lip spoiler, rear skirting with black diffuser as well as a new alloy rim design.

Inside, it gets new interior finishing complete with leather seats and door trims and matching leather-wrapped steering wheel, pearl white meter panel, dark chrome air-conditioner vents and a CD player with mp3 capability.

The good thing about getting a model with a bodykit supplied by the manufacturer is that not only is the fit and finish of the same quality as the rest of the car but there is also a warranty on the bodykit – something which you would not usually get from an accessory shop. Furthermore, the cost of the bodykit and accessories can be included in the total purchase price, meaning that you can pay for the accessories over the many years of the H-P loan.

Also unveiled at the same event was the Exora with a manual transmission. This variant, which also uses a CAMPRO 1.6 CPS engine, has been long-awaited and has an insurance-inclusive price of RM64,998 (metallic finish) and RM64,548 (non-metallic finish).

“Both the new models are officially open for booking at all Proton Edar and EON showrooms; a booking fee of RM500 is required for the Saga SE and RM1,000 for the Exora with manual transmission. However, the new Saga SE will only be available for sale from August 15th onwards and the Exora MT from July 16th onwards,” said Proton Holdings MD, Dato’ Haji Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir.
