Proton CEO Li Chunrong has said during the company’s CNY media appreciation dinner yesterday that Geely-based models will be updated as part of the company’s product strategy. At present, the four models in the carmaker’s line-up that are derived from existing Geely cars are the X50, X70, X90 and S70.
This isn’t much of a surprise given we have seen camouflaged development units of the X50 and X70 in the past. In the case of the X50, spyshots suggest the facelift for the B-segment SUV will follow the Binyue Cool. Meanwhile, the X70 won’t adopt the look of the Boyue Pro or Azkarra, but will instead get changes seen on the refreshed Boyue that surfaced in China in 2022.
As for the X90, the D-segment SUV was launched in Malaysia last May and is based on the Haoyue, which has been replaced with the Haoyue L in China. Given the X90 is not even a year old, it’s unlikely the SUV will get a refresh anytime soon. Instead, a rolling update is more likely and should include support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as we’ve previously reported.
Similarly, the S70 that was launched last November is a fresh product for Proton. Based on the fourth-generation Emgrand but extensively re-engineered for Malaysia to offer turbo power, the sedan could also get a rolling update, although the company isn’t confirming anything (including AACP support) for now.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Hope soon enough. I almost about to make my final choice.
Time to tukar nama syarikat to GEELY M BHD.
Every new launching or facelifts will be a China derived car.
What national car ? It is like a china born footballer naturalised,playing in our national Harimau Squad.
Well the Geely Boyue 2022 still comes with a 1.8TGDi engine which is most likely being phased out to Hybrid 1.5 3Cyl TGDi as in all other market outside of China.
For the x50, this will probably be the least update possible where they will add black colour Rims with ventilated seats like in Geely Philippines while there will be 0% chance we will get the new x50 with longer size and the new 1.5 TGDi 4Cyl engine.
Make sure the 3cylinder engine also updated to 4 cylinder ok
apa apa proton cakap pun possible. kononnya S70 FS-X dapat free aerokit for early bird 3000 unit ONLY. Skrg semua dapat asal booking sebelum end of april. Those early booker is treated like a clown by Proton sekarang. hahahaha
whatever li chunrong say, listen can already. don’t take it seriously. said the aerokit free for early bird booker. now suddenly early bird become 5 month bird. everyone get aerokit. those early early book bird is like clown bird now
