Proton has announced that it sold a total of 5,283 vehicles in February, scoring a 3% increase in market share over the same month last year to 12.7%. This also represented a 37% growth year-on-year despite the short month and traditionally slow sales due to the festive holidays, as well as a cumulative growth of 42% in the first two months of the year compared to the same corresponding period in 2018. The company sold 7,007 cars in January 2019.
The national brand’s first SUV, the X70 continues to grow in volume with 2,823 units registered in February, including 1,000 units which were delivered on the same day nationwide prior to Chinese New Year, said Proton. More than 20,000 bookings for the Proton X70 were received as of the end of February, exceeding the company’s expectations, it said. Since its launch, 6,927 units of the X70 have been registered.
“The Proton X70 is building its fan base and attracting strong support from Malaysian SUV buyers. We are very thankful for the bookings we have received and are working very hard to get as many units registered and delivered to our customers as quickly as possible,” said Proton chief executive officer Li Chunrong.
“Proton is proud to have set a new record for SUV registrations in the first three months after its launch. The figure is remarkable as it was achieved despite two long festive holiday periods (Christmas and Chinese New Year), and encompasses only 78 days in total. Our next target will be to set new six-month and full-year registration numbers and we are confident of achieving them,” added Li.
Joining the Proton sales charge is the facelifted Proton Iriz, which was unveiled at the end of last month, and is available or pre-orders at a promotional fee of just RM9.99 until March 11; we’ve also had a first drive impression of the revised hatchback.
To the basher: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!
Proton is only successful because of Geely. Without it, nobody will buy. So thank China for your success P1 salesman!
Better than thanking Japan for their overpriced stuffs
So many comments from this username “Copy Paste” that we all know it is coming from the same keyboard warrior (john) desperately typing to increase Proton sales. Unfortunately, everyone know Proton is already game over. Habisla john!
Proton only sold 2460 Protons this month. And this also includes Government orders.
I think public- maybe just 500 protons sold
This is the sweat and blood of Proton for the past 30 years. Now masuk longkang.
Today, we just become a rebadger for Geely.
Copy paste: “You’ve been telling us game changer everytime but each time Proton sales results comes up, it’s game over for you. Sales numbers don’t lie.”
That 328k Mercedes-Benz GLC 250 4Matic cant even match the 205K cheaper, specs level of our 123k Proton X70. so P1 win now
john thinks we do not know his other names. Grow up john!
Well said. The truth is out now. We readers know this long time already
Hah, now so evident they are both the same person! I stop reading after your post.
I think Copy Paste dude should rename himself as Troll Hunter. He seemed to caught many comments by our resident troll and hurled everything back at him until he has to come out and accuse Copy Paste as another commenter (aka john) without any proof or reason. What a jerk!
You know, all I see is Copy Paste forumer just copy-pasting, with some minor changes in details, what you and your troll personas were BS-ing all over Perodua newspiece earlier in the week, (see “Perodua sold 37,400 units in first two months of 2019 – 7.3% YOY increase, Aruz bookings at 13,000-unit mark”).
You know, if you don’t like others (especially Copy Paste) to throw it back at you, then don’t come and BS here in the first place. You have been informed.
I think john just got caught! Pls bro keep PT clean
Enough of your vendetta John. We are fed up reading your copypaste comments.
Pity john, after all these years, he got caught with his copy paste dupe
bought edi, marbeles car, to hell with rv
I can never fathom what’s so great about RV. I don’t look to buy a car just to sell it, I buy it to use it. If it’s the same car that I wanted but at 30-40 thousand less but with potential bad RV, why should this be a problem? I’m able to save 30-40 thousand bucks! Can the other car potential RV be higher than the savings of 30-40 thousand? No, and I can roll that 30-40 thousand savings I’ve got for something else or put into an investment which eventually can pay for the car itself. So I can’t understand what the importance of RV. I buy the car to use now, not to worry about a future that may or may not happen.
Exactly bruh. Myself only get cars with klasik character and unique design, B4 this hav owned Alfa 159, Peugeot SW, VW CC, Volvo S80 and currently a Kia Stinger GT.
Sales number show that February, Proton sales jatuh to 5000 units from 7000 units in January!!!
Yes, sales figures don’t lie!!!
Why do fanboys feel proud selling another country’s car?
It is like we sell Samsung handphone and then we feel proud saying it is sold in Malaysia. Who wins? Korea wins.
Here China wins
Fed up with the comments here. 91 comments but only just maybe 6 people commenting.
Can please Paul Tan clean up all the duplicate accounts
Kunta somehow don’t realised that February is a short month and from YOY sales improvement of 37%, this indicates that consumer confidence in Proton has jumped 37% within a year. Yes, this figure never lies, consumer confidence into Proton is going into high gear.
Geely X70 sales is UP but Proton Saga, Exora, Iriz, Persona all DOWN.
So, end of the year, sales still the SAME
Siapa menang?
In most kampungs, everybody sapot P2. Because they say P2 got long history of quality and problem free.
Grassroots wants P2 and Aruz
Overpriced and outdated. Those they would throwaway but they sell to us.
China cars like Haval. Got no RV. Buy today RM123k, next year sell, get RM60k
So shameful Proton’s performance. January jual 7007 cars.
February jual only 5283 cars in February
Jatuh wei!!! ha ha ha ha
X70 from 2777 units increase to 2823 units.
February Perodua sales also drop to 17000 units.
PLs bear in mind X70 has very little taxes.IF CRV or Mazda suvs were stripped of high duties,X 70 might not achieve so much sales.
Anyway,looking at overall sales….the bread and butter Sagas,personas ,iriz are not performing well.
Without x70,the sales of P1 is only 2460 units!!
X70 sales comes mainly from those who forgo X Trail,CRV AND MAZDA SUVS…due to price difference.
Give it another 9 months…if X70 still can maintain this tempo,then…we take our hats off to DR.Li and Co…not the bunch of dudes who goyang kaki at DRB.
Bread and butter Saga and Persona is not doing well at all.
This is the only one that can save Proton.
P1 sales only 2460 units…..lowest ever in history of Proton.
Habis lah 30 years of Proton heritage
Where is the Malaysian made car? I don’t see it.
Persona and Saga is the real Malaysian made cars
So now Campro apa jadi?
What are you babbling nonsense about? The X70 is a CBU car from China, so import and excise duties plus AP fees applies unlike the CRV or most of the Mazda SUVs that are CKD here which you referred to. It is the CKD cars that should get very little taxation due assembler tax rebates, zero import duties as CKD parts and the same exemption from excise duties. The reason why CKD CRV pricing isn’t parity with CBU X70 was because of greedy Japanese bosses that hiked up the declared CKD kit prices when they aren’t even paying a single sen of taxes for them, this is so the final selling price as determined by MITI isn’t too far off from the declared cost of CKD importation. Geely came in and straight broke this Japanese cartel of fixing their car prices so much higher than reasonable just to make more profits. Now they are stuck in this self-made quagmire of price fixing which they can’t escape. If they’d start dropping prices just to compete it will anger their existing customer base and the authorities will become suspicious. If they’d continue their high prices, X70 and the coming X50 will continue to eat up their SUV segment marketshare. Geely had at last given us a fair deal, to jolt the Japanese automakers from their dream to con us customers.
X70 laku kerass!! Rakyat poket loaded. MY mana ade ekonomi gawat… malulagiBO55ku
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!
Sales dropped so much from January to February.
I guess so many cancelled their orders for Proton.
Don’t know why fanboys are so excited. I think they don’t know how to interpret figures
Sales number show that February, Proton sales jatuh to 5000 units from 7000 units in January!!!
Pity people cannot understand sales figures. No wonder business tak pandai
Geely is the game changing company that john said it will change Proton’s game. Now it’s proven to be a game over for Proton as Proton only can sell Geely cars and bring all Proton cars to the “Museum of Game Over Cars”. Habisla Proton!
Copy paste: “Better to buy Proton Geely cars like Boyue/X70 at least got reliability of 600,000 cars on the road and high technology. Geely and Proton makes such good partners, unlike Perodua which is just a dumping ground for Toyota cars not fit for sale in Japan or any other First World countries.
Buy Proton cars then money will flow to Proton. Everyone will profit. Buy Perodua cars, only Japan profit because all profits goes back to Japan. Buy Proton cars, and profits will be used to expand their R&D hub. This will benefit the country and help to give more employment to our researchers, scientists and engineers.”
Proton has cars to be put into the museum, meanwhile Perodua is raiding museum for outdated cars to be rebadged as “national car”.
Proton brand will not exist soon. It will only be Geely brands.
Geely has got what they want, Proton’s marketing network. There goes Proton!
Geely does all the hard work and our Proton fanboys think they made the X70. Zero input la
what a joke man. you guys openly showing the world that you know nothing about what you’re talking about, its embarassing. if what you say is true.. why is SEAT still selling SEAT cars for so many decades after being bought over by VW when they went bankrupt? why is skoda still selling skodas the same as SEAT? why is volvo still selling volvos? simple answer is… technology can be bought, but brands must be built, and that takes a lot of time, and a lot of money, and no guarantees.. you guys might hate the truth, but the truth is.. geely bought proton for proton. they see the value of proton, and its brand recognition in malaysia, and its extensive networks of sales, service, parts plus its manufacturing and R&D facilities including a ready workforce. the last thing they want to do is to get rid of the proton brand. and if you still can’t see it.. millions has already been spent to prop up the brand even further. Proton is and remains, a malaysian brand.
Proton cars will soon be in museum. Malaysian Proton only selling Geely cars in Malaysia.
So where is the Malaysian car?
Copy paste: “Proton has cars to be put into the museum, meanwhile Perodua is raiding museum for outdated cars to be rebadged as “national car”.”
Crazy price they said…
Who gonna pay rm120k for proton they said…
China junk they said…
More than half will cancel they said…
HAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHA
This is just the beginning, later when CKD, and X50 launched, it’s gonna be a brutal onslaught, they’d beg for mercy! Glory to Geely Empire!!!
i hope you will still praise Geely n proton when ur x70 got leaking issue..
hahaha.. yes bro..
Ppl are buying P1 cars again, no doubt fueled by unstoppable waves of national patriotism since 2018. Msians definitely a nation loving bunch. Glory to a clean and peace, Malaysia Boleh!!!
Why be Patriotic? It is not even a Malaysian made car
Dread it. Run from it. Bash all u want. Destiny still arrives.
Fist bump bro!
Fist bump!
It is our destiny, to lead in sales and upset the balance of the automotive world. Glory is ours, rejoice, the children of Geely!
Destiny is China is getting richer and richer from Malaysian money. All sales of PRoton X70 means China Geely gets all the money because the car is CBU and not CKD
Copy paste: “what kind of bodoh statement is this. What is the difference between both? Both owned by foreigner one being a Japanese the other is China. So what’s with the tax. For your knowledge Proton is the 1st national car they have slight advantage over Perodua in terms of taxes incentives etc.. Toyota is actually taking more money back to Japan instead of keeping it in Malaysia lol…”
That is not how it works, genius. Geely only own 49% of Proton, so any profits are divided along the shares ownership line.
Well done tokmoh and john. Proton X70 could sell 20000 bookings whereas Aruz only sell 13000 units. So what else YB Kunta Kinte has to say after seeing this article.
He only said habislah X70
We will see Proton’s P&L accounts. Once they make money, then it is achievement. For now, sales figures mean zilch
We poor Malaysians are making Geely Empire and China empire richer
but when P1 was rebadging Mitsus it was ok to make japo empire rich. like what P2 is is STILL doing, no?
Proton is having good news again?! We can’t have that! Quick, we need to dispatch a team of highly trained monkeys to deal with this situation. If they get caught fabricating lies again, send them our regards as we will disavow any knowledge of peanut donations.
Mountains are there to be climbed…. Correct John!
We are with Proton… always believe!
Copy paste: “OMG. This is superb news!!!! ha ha ha cannot stop laughing
P1 sales figures tell it all!!!!
X70 20,000 in just two month plus!!!”
like i alwiz say, Good luck P1. Geely China make Malaysia P1great again,
We are selling another country’s product and yet we feel bangga.
Feel proud if we sold Proton overseas.
Any difference than selling Japanese products here rebadged as national car? Too bad Perodua sales overseas is near zero otherwise we can also feel proud.
P2 Aruz sales is actually higher because it was just recently launched.
Proton dah 3 bulan…..20,000 orders. Delivered so little…..
And you need to realise the X70 is more expensive than the Aruz and fighting in a segment filled with competitive rivals such as CRV, CX5 and X-trail.
Copy paste edited: “Malaysians realise that Perodua pay Cybertroopers to busuk nama Proton.
So, we now support Proton to padan muka Perodua”
New tagline quote: “If you wanna gud Perodua, go buy a Toyota”. It means Toyota is doing much better than Perodua
Copy paste edited: “I heard from Perodua salesman few thousand orders for the Perodua Aruz were cancelled by potential customers and placed in the X70.
Few thousands! ….I am so happy.”
Good bro. At least most people are smart nowadays unlike for the past few weeks during the launching of Perodua Aruz in Malaysia
Copy paste: “Today, sales figures have proven all the fake news and lies by our resident troll here wrong.
Nobody can run away from the truth. Sales figures can never lie. So shameful in this day and age, you have to come here and bad mouth about Proton with so many different dupes.
Pls stop your dirty tactics. We trust in P1.”
Copy paste edited: “Waiting for our resident basher who always bashes P1 about their quality.
If the quality is so bad, why the sales are very good?
Somemore Proton company majority owned by Malaysian company DRB and owned by Malaysians. sell nearly half to China also they willing to give their current best selling model for us to use”
Copy paste: “Kunta & his other names say nobody buying the X70 at all….in apa abang?”
Copy paste: “Enough of your lies. We the readers of PT are fed up with your lies about P1.
Enough is enough. Learn to play fair. You wish others well, your brand also will do well.
Learn to be honest and fair”
Copy paste: “Mind boggling performance”
This success you must thank China. China has done well. Geely has done well. Past 20 years, Prootn could not survive, now sold to Geely and China, suddenly doing so well.
Li Chunrong, in 6 months, could turnaround the company what local CEOs could not do in 20 years.
We need more Li Chunrongs in all GLCs in Malaysia. Productivity will tenfold.
Copy paste edited for context: “Aruz success you must thank Japan. Japan has done well. Toyota has done well. Past 30 years, Perodua could not survive without donor cars from Toyota museum, now owned by Toyota and Japan, and doing so well but the best performance was Nissan.
That foreign CEO have done what Japanese CEOs like those in Nissan could not do in 20 years.
We need more foreign in all GLCs in Japan. Productivity will tenfold. Profits will increase tenfold. And we must not be like Japan who jailed their foreign CEOs who rescued their Japanese companies.”
But I must concede that when Geely came in, P1’s loans were all cleared up. Anyone can make a profit after that…
Still, well done.
You are right. Both companies are foreigners. Shows locals cannot make business work. One company China help. Another Japanese help.
So why the abangs abangs don’t know how to make a car on their own?
Because we elected clueless Ministers aiming to make flying cars.
X70 2,823 unit sold after booking open since October 2018?
Arus 3600 sold after booking open on January 2019.
Aruz clearly a winner here. Number dont lie. Lols lols lols.
Lolwhut? Someone here failed to read.
He dun understand the figures, even 1+1 also dunno.
Loppy-brained, what to do?
Aruz best car! Even BMW and Merc is a clear loser compared to Aruz! Lamborghini smell no smoke!
Lolz! Gud one bro!
Boyue sales numbers edy reach past 500,000 while Rush barely makes 100,000. Some say winner is determined by sales numbers and Boyue sales 5x far surpassed Rush sales. Numbers don’t lie. I agree.
“the X70 continues to grow in volume with 2,823 units registered in February, including 1,000 units which were delivered on the same day nationwide prior to Chinese New Year”
Din read properly and straight bash? Basher shud go back to kindergarten and learn to read properly.
Aruz hanya jual 1025 units dlm bulan January, awak tak baca news ka? Merepek kat sini
Jan 2777 X70 + Feb 2823 X70 = 5600 units
Jan 1025 Aruz + Feb 2575 Aruz = 3600 units
Clearly you are stupid. Lols Lols Lols.
As i mentioned before good stuffs dont come cheap. X70 continue to be popular. Who said proton cannot sell 100k+ SUV??? If you want a cheap SUV, get Haval. Good looking SUV? get CX5. Good RV SUV? get CRV. Good for value for money, X70 laaa. What about Aruz? Sorry different class la brader….
exactly bro… Arseruz pun orang beli sebab duit x cukup nak ambik lebih. Umpama poket kering tapi nak beli SUV, so kena la beli SUV tiruan. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Don’t leave Mitsubishi Outlander, bro. Value for money 7-seater 4WD SUV.
U mean the car with no rear air-cond vents? NO tq :)
Perodua every year always have the game changing sales performance. Meanwhile, Proton is the real game over sales. Habisla!!
Abesla Perodua! X70 monthly sales still outstrips Aruz! X70 is proving to be the more popular SUV right now. Abesla Aruz!
Let’s grab some popcorn and enjoy reading all the toxicity comments spilled out between different car maker fanboys fan-gals trolling discriminating boasting complimenting each other idol on four wheels…LEL
Tahniah Proton!!! Easily can hit 8K units, if not becuz short Feb month. Malaysia robust economy feedings X70, HRV & Aruz frenzy!
Booking number is very impressive… but delivery less.
X70 should start ckd immediately, if not your booking will switch to another car maker due late delivery.
Geely is having trouble in delivering the cars due to limited transportation to Malaysia. We at Tesla also faced the same problems (ours with car transporter, Geely with RO-RO vessels). I would put a suggestion to Geely in building their own RO-RO vessels to improve on the delivery times like what we did (build own car transporters), except that we’re not quite sure if this project of ours has kicked off or was it another one my weird explanations on the late delivery, becuz I was high on something.
Bro, good weed. Build own Ro-Ro. Might as well Geely buy Maersk while we’re at it …. LOL
It looks like each X70 shipment is roughly 2,000+ units & only once a month. I wonder why? Could it be due to some side agreement with Gomen? Geely can easily manufacture double this amount & shipping also shouldn’t be a problem as the manufacturing plant is nearby a port.
Probably not enough ro-ro ships as what elon said.
Sales figure tell the truth, X70 is good car. All bashers please stop curse Proton.
Yes… i already buy it… marbeles… love it… and within a mouth i got it… good job proton…
No matter how toxic you are, desperate salesmen, I’m here with my popcorn like Michael Jackson
Only 5000 cars?
I know why Proton cannot sell a lot of cars.
Reasons are:
1) People do not want a China-made car
2) X70 so expensive, then the other cars all no technology, just basic cars, how people want to buy la?
3) Proton cars got low RV, X70 China model even worse RV
Those 20000 people are very daring to buy X70 which has been rejected by 95% of the world.
Even now, also got some people have issues with turbo and oil leaking on their X70. How la?
Better just buy jepunis cars or even P2, at least all got jepun quality and high RV
everything you said doesnt make sense la. “only 5000?” (its 6,287 to be exact) do you know the difference between registered and booked? obviously they can’t deliver more because they dont have enough stocks, so its definitely going to be delivered over a time period, not all at once.
1.. the fact that there are 6287 on the road, and 20k booked, does prove that people will buy a china car, branded proton and supported by the hundreds of proton service centres around the country.
2. expensive, but yet so many people are buying
3. how can it be rejected by 95% of the world when its only sold in like less than 5 countries? in just over 2 years, there are already almost 700,000 of this suv built and sold.
Dont speak on my behalf pls, im still waiting for my car delivery along with the remaining of 20k booked
I’m still waiting for my X70 and I won’t change my mind despite the facts and mind games by desperate Japanese car sales man. Ask you this, how many SUV sales did all the Japanese brands made last month?
2) X70 so expensive, then the other cars all no technology, just basic cars, how people want to buy la?
-it takes time to implement the techs gained by rebadging other people’s product. take the lotus ride and handling for example.
-on the other hand, what have Perodua implement to all of the models rebadged from big brother Toyota and Daihatsu? 1st gen Passo has rain sensor and auto wiper, and yet 1st gen Myvi is an empty shell. only when competitor implement, they have to follow. For example, when Preve and Suprima implemented DRL, Myvi suddenly have Myvi FL with DRL. same goes to ESC,EBD, Hill hold assist, to name a few.
-where is the logic when company that asked for bail out can come up with techs while company that makes profit still give sub-par products? where does the profit go?
-that is when pathetic boasts sales figures and RV, they get laughed at.
On the contrary of what you’ve said about “95% of the world rejected Geely..” , they actually only aim 5% of the world market for Geely cars. Most of their models only made available in China. I’ve posted a link previously but I think PT doesn’t allow external link to be posted in the comment. However, if you have time, lookup for an article dated April 24th, 2017 in Forbes site titled “If Any Chinese Car Company Will Take On The World, It’s This One”. You’ll find that somewhere in the article said Geely cover the market outside China with other models they acquire (Volvo, Lync&Co..). So, yeah, keep on saying that 95% of world reject.
I hope I didn’t double post….

Habis la x70.
I remember 28th Oct 2018 p1 said hav 10,000 booking, then by Dec 2018 p1 said strong 200-300 booking per day, and then by middle January increased booking 15,000, but til end Feb only 6,927 unit delivered? And then up to 20,000 booking til end Feb? So is the 20,000 actually since Oct 2018? So slow delievered 6k+ x70? Habis la x70. Next 1-2 month Aruz will overtake.
Taib on Mar 05, 2019 at 6:12 pm
Kongboyong, face the reality. This is not 2014-2015. Proton is going places under Geely bro. Deal with it.
I’ll just leave this here since you lack any capacity to be humble and learn from your mistakes.
Number dont lie dude and you should face the reality too. Its true few month times p2 aruz will smoke overtake x70. Deal with it dude! You p1 fan never learn never admit lose to p2, so deal with it. This is not 90s dude.
It’s ok, his desperation and denial of reality is my comedy.
In time, he will know what it’s like to lose. To feel so desperate that he’s right, yet to fail nonetheless. Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives. Or should i say, Geely has!
Habis la X70 taib!
Don’t talk like Perodua can deliver car faster. Like I posted on the other article, my recent bought from Perodua was a Bezza and I only receive my car in the middle of Jan 2019 while the loan was approved since end of Oct 2018. When I asked showroom said wait 1 month. Later I call perodua call centre said 2 months. After exactly 2 months, I call again and they said “3 months but nevermind I will help you raise a case. After that wait for 3-5 working days and someone will call you.” After 3 days, Perodua SA called and said my stock is “arriving”, now still in courier, ETA 1 week some more.
you got that right!!! Good one !!
This is impossible! I cannot take this! This is the end of me!!!!
Perodua selling 20k cars every month, rilex je … Proton baru terjual 5k this month, sorak riuh sekampung. Different class bro.
Proton selling more means citizen are slowly getting their salary paid accordingly. Perodua is still the top seller means most citizen are still underpaid and HAVE to settle for Perodua. Very sad to HAVE to settle with Perodua. Asal tanya orang kenapa ambik Perodua, first answer will always be, “Ni je mampu, kalau x, mmg x pandang local brand”. Only then followed by, “tapi tula, quality okay jugak la, jimat minyak”. bunyi pun macam kesian.
Ye ker…? Tapi bunyi macam saga FLX SV pun ade
Kek..
5,283 bijik X 12bulan = ?
2823 x RM123800 = RM300 million
2823 x RM123k = RM300 million
Proton potential buyers have their loan rejected more than Perodua. Proton’s target market are at the lower side of the society with lower education, older and rural. Perodua appeals to newly young urban grads with full potential ahead.
But our banks have told us that most of the loan rejects are from fresh grads or students applying loan for Perodua because they have no means to payback the loans. At the same time they confirmed that most Proton buyers are working class citizens up to upper middle whom don’t face any problems to repay their loan hence the higher loan approval rates for Proton customers compared to Perodua. I believe our banking sector more than an anonymous commenter.
Full potential ahead? Do you know wtf are you typing? P2 is the brand with the most amount of hire purchase defaulters. Go to any bank auction, it’s Peroduas as far as the eyes can see.
He probably meant full potential to end up in the CTOS bankrupt list.
Yes different class. Proton is targeting the middle upper classes, so volume is no longer important. Let Perodua scrape the bottom market, since they are just a poor brand selling poor cars for the poorer folks. BTW, why isn’t Perodua sales figure matching to kapcai sales? Both are targeting the same class segment of consumers so Perodua sales should been doing much, much better otherwise they are yet another failure.
100k Myvi on the road is scrapping prices above 50k range
Well above Iriz 40k range
Kek!
According to P2, majority of sales still comes from cheaper Axia which is cheaper even than Saga3. Lolz!
P2 jual 20k biji rambutan, P1 jual 5k biji durian. Memang tak sama kelas.
X 70 is a Volvo. Bargain SUV. Will book one.
Woww, X70 actually good car. Im own it
I’m jealous!!!!
Poor guy….so unlucky
LOL, we know who you are, Abg Senyum. Whole family ada 3 buah X70
Hint hint Proton X70 FB
this is actually not something for proton to be proud. the ate selling a Chinese made car and who gets the 90% of the revenue ? China Geely. merely assemble and low class car is not achievement. how many IRIZ or PERSONA or actual proton cars matter not this imported low brand SUV.
If u cannot do it, let someone else do it, afterall, its been decades of failure. Perodua also not Malay car la, its japanese
X70 low class car? Yet, you are jumping up and down about Aruz with 15 years old Avanza chassis and power train. The Japs are laughing to the bank exactly because of people like you would lap up anything as long as it’s Japanese.
What choice do Bolehlanders have other than hope and pray they can afford a China made car?
Bolehlanders want BMW, Mercedes,Jaguar but sadly out of their reach…
Then you should work harder like everyone else or be a PH politician. Simple.
Copy Paste bro is on a roll! Yeah bro, shove it back at the basher! He keeps saying ur me becoz u keep repeating my comments and others. So what now? Will he now say that ur him since ur copy pasta many of him and his dupe comments? Perhaps his rogue dupe thats unhappy with all the bollocks he keeps vomiting? Lolz!
We know better John. We know better who is who. Please keep this site clean.
face→mirror
Copy Paste member is fast turning out to be a meme on the epic-ness of copy pasting the right way: back at the troll @Japanese car salesmen. Kudos to you brother!
This segment before was dominated by international brands and people don’t have any choice only to buy those brands and the cheapest will also will be as part of car selection. Now, Proton have this segment and those buyer are now shifting to the local brands which preferring the cheapest which come with hi tech spec of car. It’s also attracting the rich guy to own it. Good for Proton.

Honda and Mazda SUV sales will surely suffer from this.
“VoidDance”, I agree with your comment. Honda, in particular, will probably feel the pinch with their CRV sales.Overall, I see this as a good thing.
I mentioned back in August/ September last year, that if the X70 had a positive release and was priced competitively, then it would be a good thing for the overall SUV market buyers in Malaysia. For too long we have been treated like fools and idiots when it comes to pricing and what we get for our money, in particular all the features that get removed in the Malaysian market compared to what the majority of the world get for their money.
The X70 package will certainly have companies like Honda start to think in a different way. If they don’t, they will suffer from reduced sales.
No matter what people think of the X70, it has certainly changed the landscape of the SUV market in Malaysia, which is a good thing.
Other brands have to change their old habits….and quickly, in my opinion.
I will be watching with intrest.
Congrats to Proton on their X70 sales achievement ! I think ~ 7,000 X70s sold over ~ 2 months is very respectable, especially considering the X70’s RM 100-120k price tag and non-Japanese origins. Still, it must be said that the X70 had a very long promotional build-up, and there is also the issue of delayed car prices which many companies have been facing.
Anyway, the X70’s promising initial reception bodes well for the new Proton-Geely partnership, and it should pave the way for upcoming models, most notably the CKD X70 and the more sophisticated X50. However, it is still early days, and it’s too soon to draw conclusions. Good luck to Proton & Geely moving forward.
The synergy of different companies but moving as one with one goal to aim for.
Geely, P1, VolvoCar, Mesidis, VolvoTrucks, Lotus, L&C, Polestar > all
so amusing reading trolls from both sides trying to hard to influence market sentiments…
the only FACT are SALES FIGURE!
Copy paste:
“Jan 2777 X70 + Feb 2823 X70 = 5600 units
Jan 1025 Aruz + Feb 2575 Aruz = 3600 units”
I think Proton should rebadged BMW X5 as a SUV new model for Proton… I will buy it.. Sure… I don’t like China made… Sound like Cap Ayam!
Stupid comment, you don’t like China made but the reality is most of the things are now make by China. If you don’t want anything from China now you maybe naked and stay in the cave.
With new iriz, proton can easily can beat Perodua Myvi sales. I bet i will naked infront of klcc if Iriz cant beat myvi sales!
Overall sales or one of the month in year 2019?
from the sales results, it just proved that malaysian still support proton as long as they have good products. they can phase out all others cars and give us X50, X30 , X10 and people will buy.
To those who are complaining about Proton is not really “proton” or local anymore. Like it or not, the new management achieved quite a good result ever since the 1st launch. Ask yourself, what has the previous management brought to the table and achieve anything in past 5 years?
Proves that ninja knows nothing about business.
