The launch of the Proton Tech Showcase revealed that Proton might be putting in its new i-GT 1.5 litre engine household within the upcoming updates for the X70, X90 and S70and the Malaysian carmaker has revealed the proportions of native content material in these engines.
Proton said that the turbocharged model of the i-GT 1.5 litre engine for the aforementioned SUV and sedan fashions, as specified within the X50 faceliftwill get 45% native content material, whereas the naturally aspirated model of the engine, as featured within the newest Saga and set for an upcoming SUV mannequin, could have barely extra native content material, at 54%.
When requested if, and when, Proton will enhance the quantity of native content material for these engines, a consultant of the model mentioned that the choice is as much as the administration, and that the present stage of localisation is already “nicely above” what’s required by the federal government.
In naturally aspirated guise, the i-GT engine powers the 2026 Saga MC3and the BHE15-CFN port-injected, naturally-aspirated four-cylinder unit makes 120 PS at 6,100 rpm and 150 Nm from 4,000 rpm to five,000 rpm; Commonplace and Government variants of the Saga get the Aisin four-speed computerized gearbox, whereas the Premium will get a Punch CVT.

Thus geared up, the B-segment SUV does 0-100 km/h in 7.6 seconds, and Proton claims a 4.7% enchancment in gas effectivity over its three-cylinder engined predecessor.
