Proton’s new Savvy will be priced from £5,995 on-the-road when it goes on sale next month.

Available with a 1.2 litre engine and either manual or automated manual transmission, the Savvy will also have a radio/CD player, reverse distance sensors and ABS as standard.

The Savvy comes in two different variants, the Street, available from £5,995 OTR and the Style, from £6,995 OTR.

The higher specification Style models offer air conditioning with pollen filter and alloy wheels as additional standard items.

Both models have the comprehensive Proton ‘peace of mind warranty package’ which includes three year/60,000 mile warranty and three years’ free RAC cover.

The Savvy Style models will be available from UK Proton dealerships from January, with Street models following in February.
