2022 Proton Saga MC2 facelift – spec-by-spec comparison of Standard, Premium and Premium S
Proton launched the 2022 Saga MC2 facelift this morning, the second minor change for the third-generation budget sedan. This is a smaller update thanthe previous one that debut in August 2019, and it looks pretty much similar to the previous facelift. Still, there’s a new sporty variant, a revised dashboard, and an enhanced kit list.To sum it up, the 2022 Saga MC2 gets a new logo and grille on the outside, and a rearranged centre console inside. Electronic stability control (ESC), previously exclusive to the Premium, has been brought down to the Standard AT level, leaving just the base Standard MT (the only manual Proton on sale today) without the safety feature.A big chunk of the new-for-2022 items are reserved for the new Premium S variant. The range-topper gets two-tone “four-spoke-style” 15-inch wheels (single-tone for Premium now), front/side skirts, an all black interior with black headlining, red cockpit accents and stitching, keyless entry/push start and a new infotainment system OS. There’s also an exterior boot release button and auto-fold wing mirrors.The Saga range now starts fromRM34,400for the Standard MT, and it’sRM38,300for the Standard AT. The Premium AT is yours forRM41,300, while the Premium S tops out the range atRM44,300. Prices are on-the-road excluding insurance, with sales tax exemption, valid till June 30.These sticker prices are a fair bit higher than before, by RM2,000 (Standard MT), RM3,000 (Standard AT) and RM2,000 (Premium), respectively.Perodua’s Bezza– the Saga’s segment rival – starts slightly lower than the Saga MT (RM33,456 for the 1.0 G MT) and tops out much higher than the Saga Premium S (RM48,356 for the 1.3 AV AT). Note that the base Bezza is a 1.0L car and the top one has the ASA safety pack.No change in available colours, which are Snow White, Armoured Silver, Jet Grey, Rosewood Maroon (purple) and Ruby Red. The Standard can be had in all colours except for Ruby Red, the Premium is available in all five colours, while Premium S buyers can only choose from silver, grey and red.Which variant gets what exactly?
