The road tax price of the Proton Saga is calculated based on the engine capacity and comes in two versions: 1.3L and 1.6L. The annual road tax for the 1.3L model is RM90, while that for the 1.6L model is RM280. The specific fees may vary slightly depending on the state. It is recommended to check the latest rates through the JPJ official website or the MyEG platform. When calculating the road tax, factors such as engine displacement, vehicle type, and years of use need to be considered. Car owners can also directly obtain the payable amount by entering the license plate and engine number at the JPJ counter or through the online system.
It's worth mentioning that Malaysia has a tiered road tax scheme. The smaller the engine displacement, the cheaper the cost, which is a means for the government to encourage the adoption of energy - efficient vehicles. At the same time, electric cars are currently exempt from road taxes. Car owners must also renew their vehicle inspections (PUSPAKOM) and pay insurance on time in addition to the road tax, both of which have an impact on the vehicle's legal legality to be driven. The Proton Saga, a top-selling local model, requires comparatively little upkeep. Regular maintenance, however, is essential to preserving engine performance and lowering long-term operating expenses. Owners of automobiles are advised to adhere to the original factory maintenance instructions.
