As promised, online booking for the Proton X70 started today, with the X70 microsite going live at 10am. Proton’s first SUV is also the first Proton that can be booked online.
Here’s how it works. Customers are are required to provide their personal details, preferred X70 variant and colour, as well as the city and state where they wish to collect the car. Following payment of the booking fee, which is also done online, a system generated receipt will be sent to the customer’s email.
A Proton sales advisor will then contact the customer within seven days to process the booking. Booking fees are fully refundable should one change his mind.
How much? Proton is holding a “flash sale” from now till October 19 to promote the online booking platform. In this three-day period, one can book the Proton X70 with a fee of just RM99. Do this and you’ll get an ice cooler box worth RM200. Pay the remaining RM901 of the booking fee at a sales outlet and you’ll get a “branded dashboard camera” valued at RM300.
If you choose to pay RM1,000 online for the “privilege booking” (now until the launch date), Proton will give you two X70s – one being a 1:18 scale die-cast model of your actual SUV. All gifts will be handed over together with the X70 during delivery. The early bird gifts are also applicable to those who book the X70 via the traditional walk-in way.
Meanwhile, X70 customer previews are ongoing and the most recent one was held in Kuching from October 15-16. The next stops are in Kuantan and Ipoh, and the final session will be held in Kota Kinabalu next month.
We’ve covered the X70 to the best of our knowledge (of official information) so far, with separate articles on the Geely Boyue-based SUV’s four variants and specs, powertrain, safety and driver assist systems, connectivity and GKUI infotainment system. We’ve also discussed the C-segment SUV in the most recent episode of PT Talks. Once again, you can check out all the variants and specifications here.
The Proton X70 online booking page has some fresh images of the SUV, and we’ve captured them for you below. Check out the X70 microsite here.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The front look like savvy
Why no price still ? How to book. Because you Proton try cheat Govt taxes …declare China car as Proton car
Hehehe. So many P2 salesman getting nervous about X70 and challenging P1 to early release the pricing, so that they can underprice their pisspoor dinosar Alza to compete. Lolz! Pathetic attempt. P1 will floor the competition when they ready to release it. Gud things comes to those who wait, except for nervous P2 sales.
Heavy volvo body, bad for FC. Hehehe.
Bad for FC but it wun crumple like a tissue box in eksiden. Lolz!
U said that for every cars that Proton released and see what happened to Iriz(Game Changer), Waja(BMW of Asia) and Perdana(Sexiest Proton Car)? P1 will floor the competition? Lolz! Pathetic attempt to defend P1. Nothing gud comes from P1, rather buy the real Geely.
If no Iriz, Mivi wud still be based on dinosar chassis with ancient DVVT engine, Jurassic 4AT and no safety. The same goes for Picanto and Jazz. Truly a market changer.
Sy dah RM99… awak bile lagi??
this suv give hard time to volvo xc90
Dr.Li trying to cheat Dr.Mahathir
(Like) Proton X70
(Unlike) Honda HRV.
No confident with this car yet. No long term review. Wait 2-3 years.
Work hard or drive a Baoteng.
U work hard? U buy 1st then review it after 2 years. We waiting lols.
Wrong, or drive a P2, pipu buy P2 coz it is cheap not because it is good
Production will be 10 years for sure for this under p1. No waste if waiting 2 3 yrs of coz. Waiting to be review. Play safe.
wah premium with more color?
Notice that in the online booking website, the variant comparison chart wrong…
Mention Executive RWD but than below title mention 2WD… and same goes to Premium 2WD but than below title mention RWD.
Book what ? No price how to book … Why no price ? Because Tun and MOF angry with Geely didn’t keep promise to build new models …. but only use Proton to sell Geely models
RWD is 2WD also. No?
Dude. 2WD can be FWD or RWD.
2WD is 2-wheel drive: can be RWD (rear wheel drive) or FWD (Front wheel drive)
4WD – 4-Wheel drive…
If your referring to the variant comparison, read properly…
Executive AWD – it says additional features from the Exec 2WD (means all features in Ecex 2WD plus additional features)
Premium 2WD – it says additional features from the Exec AWD (means all features in Exec AWD plus additional features)
Hope that clear out your confusion…
Aiyoooooooo, why sooooo scared to tell the price, afraid all cancel booking once known ??
Ya loh, only collecting the booking figure.
High Volume of booking harga naik.
Low then price will be lower.
This is call commercial survey.Playing the game of supply/demand.
Only stupid ppl will do the pre launch booking.
If only you cared to read.
Quoting Mr Rulsan Bahari’s post on 11/10/18
“You need to understand marketing if you want to understand what you term as drama. Many ask why can’t they show prices, why not show the car to the general public when the pictures are out.
Fact is, main competitors like the CRV, the CX5 and the Xtrail are watching. If the X70 prices are revealed now, they will immediately discount their prices in anticipation of the launch. What happens then is some of the Japanese model fans that has deferred purchase because of price will make the commitment. So PROTON is doing what other car marques would do anyway.”
Its like playing poker and the other competitors r daring the champ to play chicken by revealing his hand early. Only a fool like them wud do such a thing b4 the end game. Keep em guessing, keep em frustrated, keep em salespipu furtively challenging P1 to reveal its hand early, is the best strategy. I havent seen P1 bashers being this uncomfortable since Iriz pre-launch. Lolz!
And how well did the Iriz do?
Veli gud. If no Iriz, Mivi wud still be based on dinosar chassis with ancient DVVT engine, Jurassic 4AT and no safety. The same goes for Picanto and Jazz. Truly a market changer.
Keep telling yourself that, john. Without Proton, Myvi will still improve and people will still buy it more than Iriz(Due to loads of ‘Proton’ problems). Proton has lost to Perodua and this time is no different.
The first picture that talks about the DRL looks really sick. The SUV looks badass from the front angle. It’s like one of those cars that you drew as a kid coming to life…in a more refined way ( and a good way)
“being a 1:18 scale die-cast model of your actual SUV”
I wud pay gud money for this!
I think its a good strategy for proton to put a range rover vogue, model 2016 at every showroom. To point out that x70 is a very much as luxurious as the RR. Look at the grille.
Walao it has mobile app also?! It looks very intuitive, even better than the apps offered by American and German companies. Good job Geely and Proton
No confirm price no booking from me
Aiyoo can say goodbye to Honda models
RM99? OMG, their portal will definitely crash like Airasia because of high volume.
RM99,301,200,300 should be the full price of the vehicles since its made in China and Msia contributed the most i.e an emblem.
eh ada sunroof! mesti mahal nii
I just wanted to say I like the ‘enlarged face’ in your video thumbnails. :-) Catchy & funny!
It is getting a little ridiculous…. until now still want to be secretive on the pricing!
Can close Honda shop
True. As I told you, only fool people will buy lousy Honda quality with Honda models designs look like donkey design and Honda models designs looks like outdated and ugly as well as Honda service quality is very terrible and even Honda assembly quality is very terrible too for all Honda models. Only smart and clever people will buy Proton, Mazda, BMW, Mercedes, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai and Volvo with Proton design, Mazda design, BMW design, Mercedes design, Toyota design, Hyundai design, Kia design and Volvo design looks beautiful, well-designed, more attractive, more fashionable, more stylish and more elegant as well as Service quality and assembly quality for Proton, Mazda, BMW, Mercedes, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai and Volvo is improving, well progressed and well maintained
Sarcasm is high in this one
Proton, Geely > all
How can you say more than “all”? “All” would include proton and geely. You make no sense…
P1, Geely, Mesidis, VolvoCar, VolvoTrucks, Lotus > all
The federal sales guy said Volvo and Boyue > all on mechanical problem and low RV
Mesidis>all>volvo>geely>p1>lotus
A 100% China car disguised as Proton to rob Malaysian of rightful taxes. Geely together with DRB hookwinked Govt it’s gonna be like Volvo … To help develop Proton like Volvo new models…. In reality it’s using Proton’s name to sel 100% Chinese products …. Winner China
You’re 100% correct. Disposing their crap here.
No, urs is a crap, thats why China is way ahead of u and even came here to do what u cant do
There are many features to like on this suv
What is the price of the different variants? Is it a state secret?
enough of this and that. we are just waiting for the launch!!!
1 day 1 hu ha.. nak beli pun kena bagi tau harga la ni.
Please make comparison with other competitors, if only it is available in 7-seater
Veli few competitors have its long specs list, and those that have r 2x or more its price.
soon bro…
Good luck to all 1st batch buyers..share yr pain point here k…bye
Everybody in online forums are asking one thing….how can Proton ask for booking when they never released their price list yet?
Do they think they are Ferrari? Where people buy before seeing the car and the price of the car?
This is what you call syiok sendiri. Arrogance from 10 years ago where you thought your product was so great until one day it became kaput
Very well said….like…
Thats what they said about Apple. Look where they r now. Nowadays can open pre-order without revealing the price yet got pipu still buy. U still thinking about last century marketing while P1 alredi thinking about moving into next century of doing sales. Deswai ur negative campaign can never bring P1 down.
No price how to book . MITI disagree with tax structure and jammed Geely for fraudulently declaring it as national car ..cheating govt of taxes
Aiks, from RM1000 booking fees to RM99. Do they really understand the market? People wants to know the price before placing the booking, if the price is reasonable, don’t say RM1000, even RM3000 your booking will overwhelmed, just like Myvi and Civic.
Proton x70 premium 2WD Flame Red
What about the price dude.
Heard the base spec starts from just RM118,688 top spec is RM152,688
Jilake mahal tu.. proton je pun.. max rm108k suda la.. jgn jadi maciam perdana suda la.. salah pricing mampui wo..
150k+ top spec I rather go for CRV or Sportage meh…That is unwisely priced.
1000x haha haha haha…..
Deiii..how to put booking deposit if don’t know what the full price meh!!
Target dorang nak jual ice box kedai diy je
Embarrassing RM99 for booking? even cheap brands do do this. is PROTON DRB so desperate for getting people booked a China car?
Booking Rm99 or Rm999 or Rm9999 is not a problem. The problem is … What is the car price on the road? Later come out to more than Rm100k waste my time getting refund.
Amateurish marketing. Very pasar malam style. The “gifts” are not enticing, perhaps will work if it’s selling Iriz.
Proton Edar marketing team does not know their target audience, prefering to use a broad brush gimmick rather than smart targeting.
At least the new design website is acceptable. Perhaps a bit more interactive & have more videos. Btw, the Proton Home page has ZERO link nor information to guide you to the X70 microsite. Earlier this morning, the link available directed you to a blank page. The vendor who is responsible for Proton website needs to pull up the socks. This is the new flagship & the execution so far is very below par.
Proton selling cooler box,if not by Coleman,I wont place order,RM99 consider premium price
Pay RM0.90 also i don’t want.
Who cares, it is only you
When they release the price..booking closed..heh..heh..
Try so many times, cannot do booking online, this is true or not?
System jam becoz too many bookings coming in. Please try again at later time. Tenkiu for ur purchase.
Lagi ramai orang booking, lagi mahal harga kereta ni nanti masa launch nanti
Best looking best overall reliable best performance Proton of all times!!!
Price range in China RMB91,800-154,800. Changing the audio system with AI really fetches good profit in local market. We need AI in our industries so that we can stay competitive. Costly tols and vechicle import taxes yet to be abolished, talking about another national car. Is it Malaysia Tesla 3 at USD35k?
Dear Paultan, About the free gifts mentioned. May i know where did you get the information? I try to search at Proton website, however cant find the details. Can you please show it to us here?
Thanks.
Funny, who in the world book without knowing its actual price? What if suddenly Proton says the lowest spec sell at 140k?
If you booked it and didn’t have the actual amount of money to loan it then your deposit just get wasted.
Confirm din read and straight go for the bash. See above “Booking fees are fully refundable should one change his mind.”
There will be massive cancelation once price is revealed. Then those who booked will have a hard time getting their money back.
I think the top specs may worth rm135k++
But to HuHa the market.. Or to be the Game Changer.. Then the price has to be below rm118k for the Top Specs
All people that commented ‘why not showing price’ above were not interested in this car from the beginning, yet still making noise
Guys, sorry I want to ask a question sincerely… The 1.8 TGDi engine is the one from original Geely Boyue’s one right? Why in the picture attached the engine has Proton’s logo stick onto it yeah? Just wonder about it hahaha
For me, i’m really excited to know more about this car….
I’m ready to book this beast if the price range is between 80k-110k for top specs. for me, it make sense for a car that using china engine & local badge… but, it will unlikely happen.
sikit2 untung for 1st batch cukup lar.. why not? think for long term punya investment….. if nobody wanna buy your 1st batch car? how? don’t repeat the same mistake like proton perdana….
To be a game changer, pls reduce your price…. it ok to untung sikit2 first…. some more i’m quite confuse, who is their target/market audience? rich ppl or middle income punya users…. if middle income like me, hehehe…. 80k-110k is the limit.
x70 proton
Why the price always a lot higher than other countries ! All Malaysian are potato ?
Paul Tan, more and more China reports and news reported that many Geely Boyue owners complained many part of the car starts to get rusty after a while.
You get search from google.
