Following today’s announcement that the first Proton S70 sedan has rolled off the production line at the carmaker’s plant in Tanjong Malim, a photograph of what appears to be table of specifications across the C-segment sedan’s range of variants has surfaced on Facebook.
Four variants have been described in the image of the specifications table, and these are the 1.5T Executive, 1.5T Premium, 1.5T Flagship and the 1.5T Flagship X.
Key features highlighted for the base variant, the 1.5T Executive include 16-inch alloy wheels, halogen headlamps, push-button start and driver’s door smart entry, five USB ports and four speakers, cruise control, while infotainment starts with an eight-inch integrated head unit (IHU) that is Linux-based, with a 1,024 x 600 screen resolution. It also gets conventional analogue meters with a 3.25-inch monochrome display.
Safety kit on the base Executive variant brings six airbags, ABS, brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control and hill hold assist, while advanced safety features include rear cross traffic alert, rear collision warning, door opening warning and lane change assist.
Stepping up to the 1.5T Premium variant will add automatic LED headlamps, a full-width tail light bar, automatic air-conditioning with rear vents, and leatherette interior upholstery. Safety kit added to the Premium variant includes a reversing camera as well as front and rear parking sensors.
Moving on the the 1.5T Flagship, rolling stock is then comprised of 17-inch alloy wheels, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), a fully digital 10.25-inch instrument cluster at 1,920 x 720 resolution and 10.25-inch infotainment head unit, power-adjustable driver’s seat, wireless phone charger and a 360-degree camera system.
Also on the 1.5T Flagship is Level 2 ADAS as featured on the brand’s X90 SUV, save for the omission of emergency lane keeping assist and auto park assist. Infotainment functionality on the Flagship also adds voice command. Topping the quartet is the 1.5T Flagship X variant, which adds a sunroof.
While Atlas is mentioned in the specifications table here, conspicuous by absence in the Proton S70 are Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This of course has been anticipated, as confirmed by Proton deputy CEO Roslan Abdullah in July this year, before the S70 name was confirmed.
Also important is that it appears all variants will get the 1.5L turbocharged engine, so it’s the same performance across the board. However, it looks like the S70 will get the port-injection 1.5T (same as in the lower-end X50) rather than the direct-injection 1.5TGDi engine in the X50 Flagship and X70, so expect it to get 150 PS and 226 Nm rather than 177 PS and 255 Nm.
So, what do you think? Which of these variants would best serve your C-segment sedan needs? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Not even a parking sensor for the base variant???
Worst than the Saga 1.3L STANDARD MT variant LOL
maybe its very very very cheap. the base exec variant almost same price as the persona premium at rm59,999… hmm
Nice grill design by Proton R&D team. Can price at RM59k?
Dream On….
The power of dreams.
Halogen headlamp? hahaha
Which C-segment are they competing with? 2006 Corolla Altis?
suitable for uncle
LED lamp will getting dimmer if rapid used after several years. Just wonder why car maker not just making car lamp with replaceable led bulb.
Dont u know Civic fc 1.8NA was also halogen, do u?
Even 2023 corolla altis E still came with halogen lol
As usual, this ioma driving a 25 years kancil and try to commenting on latest car model hahahahahaha
Kalao bodoh simpan sikit kat rumah, jangan bawa keluar
where AA/CP?
Should ban car companies selling w/out car price.
Salesman will say..around RM70K for base model …push for 100% loan..then when loan approved..price is Rm85K plus 10yr hire purchase Loan interest of 3.5%pa.
Loan interest is rm29750..almost 30 K.
The whole damn car cost 85plus30=115K without insurance n road tax.
A week later,P1 salesman rewarded with a handsome commission from banker.
Only desperadoes buy cars without knowing the selling price.
So much for waiting for the 177hp version…
Rejoice Fellow AdasNumbNuts!!
Ironically too many of our work colleagues doesn’t even use carplay that comes standard on their car LOL
You are right. I don’t use Auto car play that comes with my car. In fact, I seldom use the paddle shifter or Auto cruise control either.
Rebadged China product and design. Nothing to be proud of. Proton’s RnD talent is lost. Proton suppliers also lose their engineering skills, only mould and press using molds and dies from China. Sad days for Malaysia.
So take your pick 1.5L TPFi (made in China) which is cheaper or the 1.5L TGDi (assemble in Malaysia) which is the most expensive which the same engine in X90 & X70 which has burned (Note: unknown if burning is caused by the 1.5TGDi engine assembly in Malaysia as people like to criticize).
The specs are quite a letdown considering that Perodua can offer many of these features at a lower price point.
1. Still no AA/ACP? Deal breaker.
2. Electronic parking brake & reverse camera not standard across the range?
3. Halogen lamp for exec is disgusting considering Axia offers LED lighting at much much lower point.
4. 10″ TFT instrument cluster, 17 inch wheels should be accessible for the premium also. Else it’s weird to have Premium variant thats so poor in specs.
Proton did a very good job on the classy all black with matte silver interior. Luckily no beige seat or red tone or any reflective chrome panel.
i don’t understand why we still need to protect proton. basically giving a chinese company free money. let them compete fairly with other manufacturers. everyone will benefit
why proton so kedekut about adas
It should be offered as standard like P2
ADAS “Lever” 2!!!
150ps and 226nm engine is more than enough for a C segment. A simple ECU remap can easily gain 20% more power. Now the concern is the price. If the flagship cost around 100k it gonna gives a tough fight to Civic.
Wait for s50 i guess
Damn they can’t even spell Level 2 properly. Lever 2 pulak
Why Direct-injection for higher variants? Port-injection should be used turbo to minimize carbon build up…btw, turbo + 3-cylinder + DCT is nightmare for long term maintenance
This is quite interesting. The transmission DCT 7-speed alone should be enough extra selling point for segment C sedan comparing civic RS and the rest which use lousy-quick to broken CVT gearbox.
Now it’s confirmed.
Another DOA model from Proton.
The Power Of Dreams.
ADAS got 2 lever? Wow…This is engineering marvel because normally ADAS has no lever. This feature alone can beat Civic RS or Altis anytime.
Volvo tech car can buy one no need to thing so much. I waiting my lucky color red come out. I already have lucky number 8168 in my bike can transfer.
No paddle shifter gear? Non hybrid technology! When proton can created car like cybertruck! Wawasan 4040
