It has been a long story, but the finish line is in sight. The Proton Saga MC3 2026 launch date has been confirmed for November 27, and Proton invites everyone to watch it live on Facebook and Tiktok next Thursday at 2:15 PM.
We’ve been on the home stretch since November 10, when the order books for the new Saga opened. Since then, 10,000 names have been registered for the MC3, which has an indicative price range between RM40k and RM50k.
You should already be quite familiar with the latest Saga, especially if you were there paultan.org The ACE 2025 show earlier this month, where a camouflaged unit was available for everyone to touch, feel and sit in. We’ve also covered the budget sedan in detail, and you can dive deep into the sea of details here.
In short, the Saga MC3 gets a new 1.5-litre four-cylinder 120 PS/150 Nm engine (NA, non-DI version of the X50 facelift’s engine), three variants (Standard, Exec, Premium), two types of automatic transmissions (4AT and CVT for the Premium) and a redesigned platform (strengthened and now called AMA, four-star ASEAN NCAP).
Other highlights include a new front and rear fascia (LEDs at last), a fresh dashboard with two digital displays in one long frame (wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), up to six airbags and level 1 ADAS of a monocular camera (Premium only, two airbags / no ADAS for the rest).
Again, to find out more about the new Saga, get technical with us, discover the specification differences between Executive and Premium and read our brief driving impressions of the CVT-equipped Premium.
Even the launch pack is out. Proton is giving a year’s free service (or 20,000km, parts and labour) plus a special edition Saga Touch n Go card to those who book from now until the launch date. The car must be registered before the end of the year and the supply is limited to 20,000 units.
The only thing left to be revealed at the launch – possibly by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim – is the final price of the car, and perhaps an expansion of the launch package. Finish line in sight!
