Proton Saga(made in malaysia)

Proton Saga

The Proton Saga is the first car produced by Malaysian auto manufacturer Proton. Originally based on the 1983 Mitsubishi Lancer Fore to avoid R&D costs, the Saga first debuted in September 1985 and retained its core Fiore design for two decades, before a long overdue successor designed in-house by Proton was launched to replace the aging platform in 2008.

Since 1985, the Proton Saga and its variants contribute to most of Proton's sales and revenues. The Saga is also the longest surviving model produced by Proton, soldiering on for nearly 22 years, ahead of Proton's mid size car, the Proton Perdana.

Engine and performance

The new Saga is powered by the same 1.3-litre Campro engine (which was co-designed with Lotus) that is fitted to entry-level Gen-2s. Besides the 1.3L engine option, the 1.6-liter version is also available as an exclusive engine option for taxi operators before being offered to regular customers. Like other Proton models powered by Proton's own Campro engines, the 1.3-liter engine is rated at 94 hp (70 kW; 95 PS) at 6,000 rpm and 120 N·m (89 lb·ft) at 4,000 rpm, while the 1.6-liter version (not including the Campro CPS engine which is not being used in the Saga) produces 110 hp (82 kW; 110 PS) at 6,500 rpm and 148 N·m (109 lb·ft) at 4,000 rpm. Both engines feature the new Integrated Air-Fuel Module (IAFM) which varies the airflow into the engine to improve efficiency, smoothening out the problematic dip in the torque curve in the lower and middle rev ranges. Its output matches that of a 1.3-litre in the Satria Neo. Power delivery characteristics in both cars are remarkably different. The torque could be felt after 2,500 rpm, all the way to 4,000 rpm, where it drops off rapidly. The car feels cheap to drive and acceleration to highway speeds is good. The 5-speed manual from Aichi Kikai is not geared towards the ultimate refinement at cruising speeds, but it does offer a good spread of torque everywhere, not to mention good overtaking power anywhere from 80-120 km/h. Suspension setup consists of MacPherson strutsand a stabilizer bar up front with a torsion beam in the rear. Its Lotus designed torsion beam suspension enables it to turn in sharply, hold its stance sideways through corners, understeering to a sizeable extent. Fuel economy is very good, ranging from approximately 6 L/100 km (47 mpg_-imp; 39 mpg_-US) for the manual transmission to 6.2 L/100 km (46 mpg_-imp; 38 mpg_-US) . for the auto and is considerably less when traveling at 80 km/h (50 mph) in fifth. Top speed is around 160 km/h (99 mph) (the owners manual doesn't recommed exceeding 120kmh) and 0-100 km/h time is about 16 seconds. The electrical system has also been updated with coil-on-plugs instead of the traditional ignition cable system, eliminating power loss

There are four different engines available for the SLK, all with one thing in common: they make every drive in your SLK an exhilarating experience. And thanks to the vehicle’s generous 70-litre fuel tank and the range which it makes possible, you can be sure to enjoy every moment of motoring to the full.

SLK 200 KOMPRESSOR


Take for a start the SLK 200 KOMPRESSOR with its output increased by 15 kW (21 hp) to 135 kW (184 hp), which drives the SLK with agility and dynamism and impresses with a restrained but sonorous sound. Its consumption has also been reduced by 12.6 percent.

(SLK 200 KOMPRESSOR: fuel consumption combined: 7.7–8.2 l/100 km)

SLK 280


For even sportier driving, you can choose between two 6-cylinder engines: the SLK 280 and the new, still more temperamental SLK 350 sports engine. The SLK 280 generates an output of 170 kW (231 hp); it comprises of 6-cylinder engine which fascinate with the full sound typical of these engines and deliver more than enough power to provide you with pure driving enjoyment.

(SLK 280: fuel consumption combined: 9.1– 9.5 l/100 km)

SLK 55 AMG


The SLK 55 AMG offers the strongest engine in its segment. It impresses not only with the particularly powerful sound of its naturally aspirated V8 engine but with the constant power delivery of its 265 kW (360 hp) and a phenomenal rated torque of 510 Nm.

Interior comfort


The interior of the SLK is the perfect place for enjoying yourself. Awaiting you here is a stylish symbiosis of out-and-out sportiness on the one hand and, on the other, a high degree of space and comfort. The result is a clear enhancement of motoring pleasure. The optional leather appointments allow you to give your SLK an even more exclusive look: you can choose from leather in black, alpaca grey, orient beige or the new colour shade, gull-wing red. And anyone looking for an even greater air of refinement can opt for the luxurious nappa leather appointments: here, the seats are upholstered in finest nappa leather in either black or natural beige, and even the centre armrest is trimmed in soft black nappa, complete with elegant topstitching. Whatever you decide on, exceptional build and material quality are guaranteed. The SLK is, after all, one thing above all others: a Mercedes.

Active safety systems


Should you ever find yourself in a critical situation, the intelligent electronics in the SLK will be there to help. If the car is at risk of skidding, the Electronic Stability Program ESP® can brake one or more wheels in a targeted manner as required, helping the driver to stabilise the vehicle again. If necessary the engine power is also reduced as appropriate. The electronic Brake Assist system can recognise emergency braking by the speed with which you apply the brake and instantly builds up the maximum braking force.

The SLK is available as an option with bi-xenon headlamps equipped with headlamp cleaning system, dynamic headlamp range adjustment and cornering light function. The cornering light function integral to the fog lamps is also automatically activated on the appropriate side at a speed of up to 40 km/h when turning or when driving around narrow corners, providing better illumination of the road.
