2026 Proton Saga MC3 bookings have exceeded 70,000

Proton CEO Dr Li Chunrong has just announced that bookings for the 2026 Proton Saga MC3 have exceeded 70,000, just two months after the car’s November 27 launch. That’s an average of over 1,100 orders a day if my maths is right.

The carmaker announced on January 5 that it had sold 10,000 units when bookings were around 30,000, so the number of registrations should be quite a bit more than that by now.

To recap, the Saga is available in three variants – the RM38,990 Standard, the RM44,990 Executive and the RM49,990 Premium. The RM1,000 early-bird rebate has given way to January rebates of up to RM500 plus up to RM300 if you trade in.

Retaining the same basic structure as before but on a new Advanced Modular Architecture (AMA), it has been comprehensively redesigned with new features such as LED lighting, dual displays for instrumentation and infotainment and, exclusive to the Premium, driver assists such as autonomous emergency braking and blind spot monitoring.

All models are powered by a new 120 PS/150 Nm 1.5 litre BHE15-CFN Intelligent Green Technology (i-GT) naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine. This is mated to either an Aisin four-speed automatic gearbox or a Punch CVT, the latter only on the Premium.

Looking forward, the Saga should continue selling strongly in its full year of sales in 2026, likely bolstered by increased volume. Exports are also expected to rise significantly, as the car is set to be rebadged as a Geely, with the Philippines already confirmed as its first major market this year.
