After Proton Saga Price Hike: Who Competes as Cheapest Automatic Car in Egypt?

El-Arabi, the local distributor of Proton in Egypt, has announced a new price increase for the locally assembled Saga by 25,000 Egyptian pounds in June, raising its official price to 675,000 pounds for the available trim in the Egyptian market.

With this latest hike, the Proton Saga now faces direct competition from several economy cars in the same price segment, whether locally assembled or imported, making it less appealing to buyers looking for the cheapest new automatic car in Egypt.
