saga-flx+

Proton will be unveiling a more affordable new car variant this Saturday at the Proton Edar outlet in Mutiara Damansara. The car manufacturer revealed this at a media briefing at the Kempinski Hotel Jakarta prior to the launch of the Proton Preve in Indonesia.

While it wasn't explicitly revealed which Proton model would be getting this new variant, Proton revealed that it would be a model with 3 star ASEAN NCAP, which leads us to believe it is most probably the Proton Saga FLX+, which is an improved version of the Saga FLX. The Proton Saga FLX+ was recently graded in the ASEAN NCAP and given 3 stars.

According to Proton deputy CEO Dato' Lukman bin Ibrahim, the new Proton variant will enjoy a price reduction of more than 10%, achieved through value analysis and engineering, with no cut in safety, quality and comfort. He added that the new price is not a margin cutting exercise, which Proton doesn't subscribe to. The new price will also be a permanent thing, not just a promo.

We'll get you the full details on the new car on Saturday, stay tuned!
