Proton Saga Remains Cheapest Locally-Assembled Car in Egypt

Proton Saga keeps its position as the most affordable locally-assembled sedan in Egypt. The car remains a top pick for budget-conscious buyers seeking a brand-new vehicle without breaking the bank.

Official pricing and trim

The latest price list from El-Araby El-Sewedy Group, the exclusive distributor, shows a price of EGP 685,000 for a single trim level. That figure stands out in a market where prices keep climbing, even though the car offers modest equipment and a frugal engine.

Engine and dimensions

Under the hood sits a 1.3-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine producing 95 horsepower and 120 Nm of torque, mated to a four-speed automatic gearbox. The body measures 4,200 mm in length, 1,600 mm in width. 1,500 mm in height, with 171 mm of ground clearance. Cargo space reaches 413 liters, which is decent for this segment.

Safety features are basic but present. The Saga comes with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and brake assist. A rear-view camera and parking sensors complete the package.

For those watching every pound, Proton Saga remains the cheapest locally-assembled option on the market, even as competitors push newer models. Price remains king in Egypt, and this car rules that niche.
