Proton coming to India with Savvy, Saga and Persona models

Malaysian national carmaker Proton has announced their plans to enter the Indian market.

The company is planning to bring three of their models initially: Savvy, Saga and Persona.

Savvy is a 1.2-litre 5-door mini car.
Saga is a 1.3-litre entry-level sedan.
Persona is a 1.6-litre second generation mid-size car.

Proton is currently testing these cars for the Indian roads and conditions.

The company hopes to launch the first of these products by early next year in the Indian market.

Proton Motors said in a statement: “We were close to striking a deal with M&M, but they have preferred to distance themselves from the car market after the Logan sedan’s not too successful run. We are now looking for a possible joint venture with other Indian automobile companies, particularly with a strong focus on marketing.”
