We’re merely weeks away from the official launch of the Proton X70, which is scheduled to arrive next month in CBU form. In the mean time, the automaker’s first ever SUV is being paraded across the country as part of a private viewing campaign, but not everyone is as fortunate to see it in the metal just yet.
Well, that’s why we’ve put together this video, discussing at length about the car’s design, overall build quality and technology, as well as its safety, performance and connectivity aspects. It’s shaping up to be a truly impressive vehicle, and segment-wise it goes head-to-head against the current leader Honda CR-V.
To recap, there will be four variants on offer, each sharing the same 1.8 litre TGDi four-cylinder petrol engine that makes 181 hp and 285 Nm, which is enough for a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 10.5 seconds (2WD model). A six-speed automatic with manual shift mode is standard.
Watch the video above to find out everything we know about the Proton X70 thus far. Also, don’t forget to share with us your thoughts on the SUV, and feel free to drop a fair estimate of the SUV’s price range. Comment, below.

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments reveal a mix of excitement and skepticism about the Proton X70, a rebadged Geely Boyue. Many praise the car’s design, features, and safety, with some citing Hafriz’s positive review as a testament. Conversely, critics attack its Chinese origin, question pricing, and compare it unfavorably to Japanese cars or local brands like Perodua and Proton’s past models. There are concerns about local content, manufacturing quality, and whether Proton truly retains Malaysian ownership or control. Several comments highlight frustrations over the launch strategy, pricing, and perceived reliance on Chinese technology, with some viewing it as a sign of Proton’s decline or a shift away from national branding. Overall, the sentiment is divided between anticipation for a new, modern SUV and doubts about quality, value, and national pride.
