The new pricing have been introduced in such a way that customers who book Saga before May 10 will pay 50% of the increased cost, while those who book cars after May 11 will pay 100% of the increased rate.

The price increase from Proton Saga is similar to those from Kia and Changan. Nonetheless, the Saga is Pakistan’s cheapest sedan, with the potential to become one of the country’s best-selling vehicles.
