Malaysian company Proton has reduced car prices of its 1270cc sedan Saga and 1500cc turbocharged X70 crossover SUV following reduction in duty and tax.
On July 7th, the government launched the New Auto Policy (2021-2016). Right after, Pakistani automakers evaluated the new policy’s tax reductions and cut their automobile pricing. Toyota was first, followed by Suzuki, Kia, Hyundai, Changan, and other manufacturers.
The ceremony took more than a week for Proton Pakistan to evaluate and implement the changes. However, the prices of the Proton Saga and Proton X70 have been updated.
