The Proton Saga 1.3 Standard MT fuel average in Pakistan is 12.5 km/l in the city and 16 km/l on the highway. Combined, that is about 13.9 km/l. On its 40-litre tank that is roughly 500 km of city driving between fills.

▲Real sedan packaging at 4,335 mm with a proper boot, at a price where most rivals are hatchbacks
▲A four-star ASEAN NCAP rating for this generation, with front airbags and ABS with EBD standard on every variant including the base MT - better baseline safety than an Alto or Cultus
▲The four-speed automatic is a conventional torque-converter unit. It is crude, but durable, cheap to service and immune to the dual-clutch problems affecting the Chinese crossovers
▲Genuinely good economy - owners report 10 to 14 km/l in the city with air conditioning and 16 to 20 at steady highway speeds
▲Comfortable on long drives, with a ride well judged for Pakistani roads and praised motorway composure for the price
▲Parts availability has improved materially since launch, with common items stocked locally and complex parts arriving in days rather than weeks
The bad
▼The platform is old - a 2016 design, facelifted twice, already replaced in Malaysia. Pakistan is buying a ten-year-old design in 2026
▼The four-speed automatic is the defining weakness. Four ratios in 2026 means poor highway refinement, sluggish response and worse economy than a modern six-speed or CVT, and owners say so explicitly
▼Equipment is thin. The MT and standard AT have no touchscreen, no alloys, no reverse camera, no parking sensors, no traction control and no hill hold - all confined to the ACE, whose smartphone connectivity is Android-only
▼The 1,332 cc engine produces around 94 hp and 120 Nm, adequate unloaded and genuinely strained with four occupants, luggage and air conditioning on a gradient
▼Resale value is the recurring complaint in owner reviews - Proton has no meaningful second-hand market depth here and buyers know it
▼Interior materials are dated, with hard plastics that scratch easily and a steering column that fouls larger drivers' legs
▼Front airbags only - no side or curtain airbags on any variant - and no stability control on the MT or standard AT
▼The dealer network is much smaller than Suzuki's or Toyota's, which matters more for a budget car whose buyers are least able to absorb a long workshop wait
