The first-generation Proton Saga was the first car built by the Malaysian manufacturer Proton. It was based on the 1983 Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore and came out of the joint venture between HICOM and Mitsubishi, and it was officially launched on 9 July 1985 by the then prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad. It was sold as a four-door saloon and as a five-door hatchback, the Aeroback, that followed in October 1987. Over more than twenty-two years of production it became Proton's most successful car, with about 1.2 million first-generation cars sold, and it passed through engine updates and a restyled version, the Saga Iswara, before the second generation replaced it in early 2008. Proton also exported it, including to Ireland and the United Kingdom.
