It seems Proton is gearing up to release another variant of its first SUV model, as a reader has provided us with a leaflet of the X70 SE. The document doesn’t reveal if the new offering will be limited in terms of units like the Merdeka Edition, nor does it contain any pricing details.
So, what’s unique about the X70 SE? Well, there’s a new Ocean Blue finish that is not on the palette that currently consists of Snow White, Armour Silver, Jet Grey, Ruby Red, Cinnamon Brown and Space Grey.
This is paired with side mirrors, a rear spoiler and a roof that are painted black to create a two-tone look, which is something only the X70 Merdeka Edition had previously. If the blue body colour is not to your liking, the existing Ruby Red is your only alternative.
Besides the paintwork, the forthcoming model also receives an SE emblem on the tailgate and 19-inch wheels, the latter similar in design to those on the Geely Boyue Pro and sized the same as the Premium 2WD and Premium X 2WD variants.
There are also some changes to the interior, including exclusive finishing for the trim as well as floor mats with the SE branding. Also new here is the Nappa leather upholstery in black rather than brown in the aforementioned top two variants. The Proton Intelligent Air Purification System (P-IAPS) is also highlighted, although this is standard across the entire X70 range.
The brochure also shows two optional accessories, namely door visors and a digital video recorder (dashcam), although these aren’t new and are already available for X70 variants in the past.
We don’t expect any mechanical changes, which means the 1.8 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine will continue to deliver 184 PS (181 hp) and 300 Nm of torque, with drive going to the front wheels – the X70 ditched all-wheel drive when it became a CKD model – via a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
no teh tarik hooks? SE model must have maa…
Deswai abang-abang preferred to buy Toyota Corolla Cross to balik ke kampung halaman…
Later eksiden no spare part.
2 tone color also no spare to spray.
Perodua’s katak bawah tempurung jealous Proton sales too well, lol
Poorton
Only B40 car equipped the teh tarik hooks.
Everyone is ditching environmentally unfriendly teh tarik plastic bags, why are Perodua still keeping this relic? To encourage pollution of our environment?
Teh tarik & ekzos bising berpisah tiada. diabetes & rempitt
T20 drinks dont drink teh tarik in car, only b40 cheapskates buyer drunks they teh tarik inside car.
Support P2 and P1.
Ignore such comment:
`Cannot sell so need to do yearly refresh, alahai P1…’
PKP Total lockdown incomings… P1 showroom still open? Nak pegi try testdrive ler..
Unlike one year old P2 Aruz, Proton X70 is already 2+ years old, refresh after 2 years is normal, refresh after only 1 year is abnormal

Still waiting for myvi facelift after 3 years.
If it ain’t broke…….
The digital recorder options with exposed hanging wire.. ?
Not very suitable as manufacturer option choice, looks very aftermarket here.
So agree. Worried if spareparts shortage again.
Its a global phenomena, Malaysia included

Bruh… i am using Toyota also same wire hanging out ma for both forward and rear camera. Not standard accessories of coz like that or… haiya…. don’t be like that laaa…..
Looks better than the CKD premium and premium X R19 sport rim.
Now, it looks larger, better
Much better than Honda CR-V 1.5too
19″ only abit tiny… expecting 22″ wheels at least.
U think Volvo or what 22 inch wheel!?
Bro, you can’t even afford to change your myvi tyres.
Max 20″ to fit
Black Interior? No
Car was on NKVE yesterday in blue only. Love the alloys tho
How about they deliver the pending orders first! Some ordered in October but still can’t get their car. What’s the point of launching a new variant?
To receive more order, to make news, thats all
That one X50 ma..got delay.. this is X70… different department…not same lor….
Love the color!
what a joke,
change color change rim call it SE
truly proton
Carpat ade SE je,
Sportrim to masuk lobang besar kenal tukar rim lain
Then, you think like P2 change colour and call it ‘facelift’ sau kung???
Remember Myvi SE? What does it have that makes it SE? A different engine? A different gearbox? A wide bodykit? That’s right.. nothing more than cosmetic changes. If Myvi qualified to be SE with just that, whats the difference with this? Actually, what’s your take of SE anyway? Sports Edition? Special Edition? Samseng Edition? Besides other brands also have their own “SE” but they put it as a different name… go figure
loving the black leather. the brown interior is just ghastly.
Poket sure koyak when replacing set of 19 inch tyres.
Nevermind, biar papa, janji gaya I guess.
Not really. 2 sets of tyre still less than a fraction of down-payment.
This is SUV, what do you expected. Fuel in SUV also cause poket koyak while you owned & always driving Axia.
True bro.. I have x70, but always driving axia standard G..
Am sure just about every SUV owner don’t think like you or else SUV trend would die a quick death.
That is why you should consider all the possible future maintenance costs when buying a car. If you can only afford exact monthly installment, why even bother buying that car in the first place? With that being said, I find it absurd to assume that people who can’t afford a tyre change will buy this car but I’m also well aware that it’s not uncommon in Malaysia.
Been Waiting for the face-lift version… Launch it soon pls. The front of the face lift is more trendy. Then we also want the pro’s dashboard!
*Exclusive SE badge* …… When you have lame features like that you know it’s Peloton
So making rims bigger helps?
What makes Proton think that consumers want an “SE” emblem at the back of the car, “SE” printing on the mat? Why? What does it represent?
Proton Wira SE, Saga SE, hot like goreng pisang panas so there is super hot demand for more SE
19″ tires? Proton clearly target different user group than before. This users expect Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, as well as ACC until stop (Stop & Go). Lagi satu, ‘waddehell’, takkan lane departure warning je? Mana lane keep assist?
How about Sunroof still available?
We need lotus ride and handling tuning in X70 like China limited edition for the sea games..
We need lotus ride and handling tuning and emblem for X70 just like Geely limited edition in their country for sea games.. Please proton..
