Proton Ertiga

As the national car of Malaysia, the Proton Saga currently offers four versions to meet different needs. They include the entry - level 1.3L Standard MT (manual transmission), 1.3L Standard AT (automatic transmission), and the more well - equipped 1.3L Premium AT and 1.3L Premium S AT. All models in the line are equipped with a 1.3L VVT naturally aspirated engine. It has a maximum power of 95PS at 5,750rpm and a peak torque of 120Nm at 4,000rpm. It's paired with either a 5 - speed manual or a CVT transmission. The Premium series comes with upgraded features such as 15 - inch wheels, LED daytime running lights, a 7 - inch touchscreen head unit (supporting mobile phone connectivity), and a rear - view camera. The top - of - the - line Premium S even has exclusive automatic air - conditioning and leather seats. It's worth noting that the Proton Saga features a front MacPherson strut and rear torsion beam suspension design. Its body rigidity has been specially strengthened. In 2022, it received a five - star safety rating from ASEAN NCAP. All models come standard with dual airbags, ABS + EBD, and a vehicle stability system. Higher - spec models also have side airbags. For young families on a tight budget, the Standard version can already meet their daily commuting needs. Consumers who seek a more comfortable experience can opt for the Premium series. Its maintenance cost and fuel consumption (officially rated at 5.6L/100km) are quite competitive among B - class sedans, which continues Proton's brand positioning of being economical and practical.

According to official data, the kerb weight of the Proton Saga is approximately between 1,050 and 1,075 kilograms. The exact weight may vary depending on different vehicle models and configurations. For instance, the weight of models equipped with a manual transmission or an automatic transmission will be slightly different. As one of the most popular economy cars in Malaysia, the lightweight design of the Saga helps to improve fuel economy and handling flexibility. Meanwhile, its body structure uses high-strength steel, ensuring a balance between safety and durability. For consumers, understanding the vehicle weight not only helps to evaluate the fuel consumption performance in daily driving, but also provides a reference when choosing accessories such as tires and brake systems. It's worth noting that a lighter vehicle isn't always better. Safety, comfort, and power performance need to be considered comprehensively. The balanced design of the Proton Saga in this regard makes it a highly cost - effective choice in the local market, suitable for urban commuting and family use.

As one of Malaysia's most popular economy cars, the insurance cost of the Proton Saga varies according to the model year, engine displacement (1.3L or 1.6L), type of insurance coverage (comprehensive or third - party), and the owner's personal factors like age, driving record, and location. Generally, the annual premium for comprehensive insurance ranges from RM1,000 to RM2,500, while third - party insurance is even cheaper, about RM500 to RM1,500. For example, the comprehensive insurance for the 2023 1.3L Standard model might cost around RM1,200, and the premiums for higher - spec versions or those with a 1.6L engine are slightly higher. It is recommended that car owners get real - time quotes through the official websites of insurance companies or platforms like MyEG, and compare the offers (such as No Claim Discount - NCD) from different insurers. The NCD can go up to 55%, which can significantly reduce the premiums for long - term claim - free car owners. Additionally, the insurance costs in Malaysia are also affected by the pricing framework approved by the Customs Department, so there isn't much difference among different insurance companies. However, additional services (such as roadside assistance or free towing) might be the deciding factor when choosing an insurer. Understanding these details can help car owners plan their vehicle maintenance costs more wisely. Also, it's a reminder for everyone to renew their insurance on time to avoid legal risks.
