Proton is Malaysia’s national car brand, and in Pakistan it is sold and assembled by Al-Haj Automotive at its plant in Karachi. Proton currently sells two models in Pakistan: the Saga sedan and the X70 SUV. The Saga is the budget pick at Rs 3,749,000 to Rs 4,099,000, while the X70 is the larger family SUV at Rs 8,799,000 to Rs 9,299,000. All prices in this article are ex-factory, so registration, advance withholding tax and freight are extra.
Proton entered Pakistan with the X70 in December 2020, followed by the Saga in April 2021. Both cars started as imported CBU units and later moved to local CKD assembly, which brought prices down. One thing to keep in mind: Proton has revised its prices a few times over the years, so the figures below are the latest we could verify from PakWheels, gari.pk and pkrevenue. Always confirm the final figure with your dealer before booking.

Proton Saga Price in Pakistan

The Proton Saga is a compact sedan and one of the cheapest locally assembled new sedans you can buy in Pakistan. It competes with the Honda City, Toyota Yaris and Changan Alsvin, and it undercuts most of them on price. The car is easy to drive in the city, parts are affordable, and the 5-year warranty gives extra peace of mind for buyers who plan to keep the car for a long time.
The Saga line-up has three regular variants. The Standard M/T is the base car with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The Standard A/T adds a 4-speed automatic. The Ace A/T is the top trim with extra safety kit: traction control, electronic stability control, hill start assist, LED daytime running lights, steering switches and a rear camera. Prices run from Rs 3,749,000 to Rs 4,099,000 ex-factory.
| Variant | Key features | Ex-Factory Price |
| Standard M/T | Manual gearbox, dual airbags, ABS with EBD, power windows, keyless entry | Rs 3,749,000 |
| Standard A/T | 4-speed automatic, same base safety kit as the manual | Rs 3,949,000 |
| Ace A/T | Adds DRLs, stability control, traction control, hill assist, rear camera, steering switches | Rs 4,099,000 |
There was also a limited-run Saga R3 with sporty yellow accents and a body kit inspired by Proton’s race cars. Only 100 CBU units were offered in Pakistan, sold through a lucky draw at launch (Rs 2,175,000 for the manual and Rs 2,425,000 for the automatic back then). It is no longer sold new, so the R3 only shows up in the used market now.

Proton X70 Price in Pakistan

The Proton X70 was Proton’s first car in Pakistan and it made a strong entry: a mid-size SUV with a turbocharged engine, six airbags and a 360-degree camera at a price lower than the KIA Sportage, Hyundai Tucson and MG HS. It is now locally assembled, and the price range is Rs 8,799,000 to Rs 9,299,000 ex-factory.
There are two variants. The Executive comes with all-wheel drive and costs Rs 8,799,000. The Premium is front-wheel drive but loaded with more comfort features, including a powered tailgate with a foot sensor, and costs Rs 9,299,000. Both use the same 1.5-litre TGDi turbo petrol engine with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, a setup shared with Geely’s global SUV platform.
| Spec | Proton X70 |
| Engine | 1.5L TGDi turbo petrol (1477 cc) |
| Power | 177 hp |
| Torque | 255 Nm |
| Transmission | 7-speed dual-clutch automatic |
| Fuel average | 10 to 12 km per litre |
| Fuel tank | 60 litres |

The X70 comes in Snow White, Ruby Red, Armour Silver, Jet Grey, Quartz Black and Space Grey. It suits buyers who want SUV space and modern features for family use and highway trips, without stretching to the price of a Sportage or Tucson.
Proton Saga vs Proton X70: Which One Should You Buy?
The two Protons serve very different buyers, so the choice is simple. Pick the Saga if your budget is under Rs 4.2 million, you mostly drive in the city, and fuel cost matters. Pick the X70 if you need space for five adults, want modern safety tech, and regularly drive on highways.
| Point | Proton Saga | Proton X70 |
| Price range | Rs 3,749,000 to Rs 4,099,000 | Rs 8,799,000 to Rs 9,299,000 |
| Body type | Compact sedan | Mid-size SUV |
| Engine | 1.3L petrol, 91 hp | 1.5L turbo petrol, 177 hp |
| Gearbox | 5MT or 4AT | 7-speed DCT |
| Fuel average | 12 to 16 km per litre | 10 to 12 km per litre |

What to Check Before You Book a Proton
First, budget for the on-road cost, not just the ex-factory price. You will pay withholding tax (different rates for filers and non-filers), registration, token tax and freight on top. Second, Proton’s 5-year or 150,000 km warranty is one of the longest in the market, which helps if you keep cars for many years. Third, the dealer and service network is still smaller than Toyota, Honda or Suzuki, so check that your city has a service point before you buy. Fourth, be realistic about resale: Protons lose value faster than a Corolla or City, so buy one to use, not to flip. If you are comparing across brands, the Toyota Corolla price in Pakistan starts at Rs 6,202,000, which shows how much cheaper the Saga is in the sedan market.
- 5-year or 150,000 km warranty, one of the longest in Pakistan
- Saga is among the cheapest locally assembled new sedans
- X70 offers six airbags, 360-degree cameras and a turbo engine for less than rival SUVs
- Local assembly in Karachi keeps prices in check against imported options
- Simple, proven mechanicals with affordable routine maintenance
- Small dealer and service network compared to Toyota, Honda and Suzuki
- Weaker resale value; used Protons sell for much less than their rivals
- X70 parts can take time to source outside the big cities
- Only two models on sale, with no hatchback, pickup or hybrid option
- Saga’s 4-speed automatic feels dated next to CVTs in competing sedans
