According to a posting on Proton’s official website, the X70 is set to be updated with a new N95 cabin filter, which will offer better filtration than the current dust and pollen filter used in the SUV.
The move is in line with Geely’s initiative announced in February this year, which saw the development of the G-Clean Intelligent Air Purification System (IAPS), a new system that is able to automatically filter out harmful particulates.
As a refresher, the IAPS system features an active carbon chemical filter that can effectively absorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde as it enters the vehicle, while filtering out bad odour and harmful pollutants.
The system also comes with a negative ion generator that is able to sterilise and deodorise the in-car air, including the removal of airborne viruses, bacteria, fungi and mould. Geely says that this is the same level of air filtration as an N95 respiration system, and has introduced the system in the Jiaji MPV.
The N95 cabin filter will be fitted as standard on new X70s, but will likely be offered as a retrofit item for both fully-imported (CBU) and locally-assembled (CKD) models, seeing how it is merely a filter swap. Exact details and pricing will be announced soon.

Better buy Proton X70 with N95 cabin filter than Super problematic junk Honda CRV
Oh wow a retrofit improvement! Will we ever get something similar in a Japanese make? Nah! Not in a million years! Kudos to Geely and Proton for such option!
Ohh yea, apart from durian season Malaysia also have a hazy season. Good one proton.
Should also fit this into Saga and Persona. These models mostly used for e hailing services hence give better confidence level for riders.
Why not looking for HEPA instead of N95?
Yeah, why not just go for Nuclear, Biological & Chemical (NBC) military grade filtration huh?
That guys act like he know it all… why dont this and why dont that… but keep complaining all the way…. geely and proton are good enough to retrofit the filter with N95…
The car with most clean air in Malaysia.
N95 isn’t designed for ventilation use. Any clinical data to support this? The statement is nearing a scam statement. 3M also stated N95 is not for use more than 8 hours AND single use. Please don’t reduce yourself to get sales by scare-mongering unless you have a clinical test data to proof your statement.

Actually john… it say that geely and proton develope a new filter system and air purification system… it is equivalent to N95 standard…
