    2022 Proton Saga DETAILS

    One would get a good overview of the new 2022 Saga in our launch story, here, however, we’ll be going to discuss Proton’s latest A-segment sedan in a bit more detail. We'll take on the new Saga variants and see how different they are from each other. It’ll probably help a prospective in making a decision. So, let’s get started.
