Proton S70 rendered as a hatchback by Theophilus Chin – a welcomed successor to the Suprima S?

The Proton S70 is due to be launched before 2023 comes to a close, and if you want to know more about the C-segment sedan, head on over here for all the details that you need to know – our first impressions can be found there too.

The S70 is regarded as the successor to the Preve, which had a hatchback sibling in the form of the Suprima S. Now, what if the S70 also had a hatchback version? What would it be called? More importantly, what would it look like?

Well, rendering wiz Theophilus Chin has done the work by grafting on the rear end of a Skoda Fabia to the S70 to create these renders of what he thinks a hatchback version of the S70 would look like.

Apart from a reduced boot space as well as revised roofline and window line, the ‘S70 Hatchback’ also gets taillights designed to mimic those on the sedan, albeit larger vertically to suit the body style. The hatchback also loses the sedan’s diffuser-like element in the rear lower apron in favour of a simple black trim panel that also integrates the reflectors.

It is unlikely we’ll get a hatchback version of the S70 considering the fourth-generation Emgrand, which the sedan is based on, isn’t offered as a hatchback. In any case, what do you think of Theo’s imagining of such a model as a replacement for the Suprima S?

  • Didn’t really ask for it. Stop promoting Theophilus Chin as it is not beneficial to anyone.

  • Small hatchback the best! on Nov 21, 2023 at 11:56 am

    Prefer to hv A+ segment hatch instead. Easy to manoeuvre around town. Satria size is ok. Make a GTI version with 1.5T then will be marvellous!! P1, plz create something tht can fight axia/myvi range. Majority buying those! Dont let them monopolylah! No need so much electronics. back to mechanical switches is the best!

    I really wish Proton make an Aeroback model. This model is very suitable for the body type.

  • rendering wiz??? says who??? on Nov 21, 2023 at 8:15 pm

    so far, proton designs only limited to grille, suspension & some interior changes, so such “rendering” serve no purpose, syiok sendili…melepaskn batuk di tangga…

      Suspension tuning is an art not many can master. Proton still has it

    Just retain its sedan platform, only modify C-pillar to slope-like hatch. On the other hand, can also be modified as 7-seater wagon or MPV to increase its practicality.
