In today's competitive market, these are not enough as buyers also want the latest specifications.
Proton has updated their Saga FL with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and called it the FLX SE.
With the new fuel-saving transmission, the FLX SE is now priced at RM49,449
The combination of the 1.6-litre Campro IAFM engine with the CVT automatic transmission delivers better torque, four percent better acceleration, and reduces fuel consumption by an additional four percent compared to the current 1.6-litre Saga.
Priced RM2,900 above the current selling 1.6-litre automatic Saga FL, the Saga FLX SE features eight and three exterior and interior changes. The car is fitted with 15” inch alloy wheels, an all round factory-fitted body kit, fog lamps and smoked finishing rear lights. The cabin is trimmed in leather which comprises the seats, steering wheel, door ornament, parking brake and gearshift lever.
Available in two colour choices - Solid White and Fire Red - the Saga FLX SE comes with a three-year or 100,000km warranty (whichever comes first). Customers who have ordered a Saga and are still waiting for their car to be delivered can opt to change their booking to the Saga FLX SE at the respective showroom in which the booking was originally made.
Dato’ Sri Haji Syed Zainal Abidin expects the new Saga FLX SE to sell in the region of 500 units per month. PROTON’s target is to sell some 78,752 units of the Saga in its current 2011/12 financial year.
