Al-Haj Proton has announced a massive increase in prices of the Saga sedan, the revised prices will immediately come into effect. The company has made a whopping Rs 224,000 increase to the all three variants of Saga. The new prices are:
Variants | Old Prices |
New Prices |
Difference |
Standard Manual | Rs 1,925,000 | Rs 2,149,000 | Rs 224,000 |
Standard Automatic | Rs 2,075,000 | Rs 2,299,000 | Rs 224,000 |
ACE Automatic | Rs 2,175,000 | Rs 2,399,000 | Rs 224,000 |
It is pertinent to mention that Al-Haj was facing serious backlash for not being able to deliver a single CKD unit despite launching the sedan more than 7 months ago. Now with the plant become operational, the first batch of CKD assembled Saga sedan has started to reach dealerships, however with a Rs 224,000 increase in price without the first CKD units hitting the roads, the Saga might get another blow to its already damaged reputation in the market.
