Following the release of images for the 2025 Geely Emgrand facelift towards the end of last month, the sedan has gone on sale in China in four variants, with pricing from 69,900 yuan to 88,900 yuan (RM45,281 to RM57,589) in China, according to Car News China.
The 2025 Emgrand facelift measures 4,638 mm long, 1,820 mm wide and 1,406 mm tall with a wheelbase of 2,650 mm, matching the dimensions of the pre-facelift model, and its wheels are offered in either 16- or 17-inch sizes.
All variants are powered by a 1.5 litre naturally aspirated, inline-four cylinder petrol engine that outputs 127 hp, and this is paired with either a five-speed manual gearbox or a CVT with eight virtual ratios.
This combination of specifications matches those of the Philippines-market model, and thus differs from the Proton S70 that is based on the Emgrand, as the national brand’s sedan gets a 150 PS/226 Nm 1.5 litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.
Exterior changes are sparing for the Emgrand in this model year, featuring a waterfall-style front grille L-shaped LED daytime running lights, and revised headlamps.
Inside, the cabin of the 2025 Emgrand features a 10.25-inch driver’s instrument panel and a 12.3-inch floating infotainment screen – similar to those on the S70 Flagship – and these run on the manufacturer’s Geely Galaxy operating system. The higher-end variants in the range get the ‘Eye of God’ 540-degree camera suite, so named for its field of vision that offers a view of the road surface beneath the vehicle.
In-cabin conveniences in the 2025 Emgrand include a two-tier storage compartment that holds two mobile phones, according to Geely, while the front passenger side of the centre console tunnel features a hook. The front door bin has also been shown to be able to hold a laptop.
Joining the equipment list for the 2025 Emgrand facelift for China are a panoramic glass roof, six-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat, a smart key system, and a mobile app that enables monitoring, engine ignition, locking and unlocking of the vehicle, air-conditioning operation and more.
For passive safety, the 2025 Emgrand gets six airbags. What the Emgrand lacks, in comparison to the Proton S70 is the suite of driver assistance systems, with the Proton sedan getting – in top Flagship form, at least – Autonomous Emergency Braking with Forward Collision Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Lane Departure Warning and Prevention, Lane Centring Control, Traffic Sign Information and Intelligent High Beam Control.
In Malaysia, the Proton S70 – that is based on Geely Emgrand – was launched in November 2023, and priced from RM74k to RM95k across four variants.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
What a rip-off. These people are selling it here at RM74K when it is sold RM45K out there.
yeah. imagine how much saga cost? definitely below RM20k. poor malaysian. dah ditindas, dipijak lagi
Hello bos, here s70 comes with 1.5 Turbo and wet DCT powertrain, china only 1.5NA with CVT of course diff price maa, pls dont just compare price LOL
Jual murah pon salah, jual competitive pon salah. Alahai Msia.
Develop locally, maybe. If not making profit, why need to buy over Proton? China wants to give the benefits to its own people, why some of the xxxxx making noise here? Furthermore, ask government for high tax!
Proton purposely sell at competitive C-segment pricing due to fear of Msian Gomen later accusing Proton & Geely of violating Anti-Dumping laws. Look at how USA now permaban China car brands because they were selling too cheap!
30k tu ‘R&D’ and also for the ‘turbo’. Hehehe…
Plus hidden hand… Mcm x biasa pula Malaysiaku terbilangkan…
starts from RM45k…hmmm, cars can actually be this cheap. so all this while the japanese has been milking our money with their models that skim on tyre size, rims, and even aircond dials (despite the excise duty by the government).
Malaysia dual clutch bro. Turbocharged lagi
The jepunese spend on R&D from groundup while ccp carmakers steal tech and buyout other manufacturers
In China Rm45000,in Bolehland Rm74K..why 29k difference?
Rafizi and Amir Hamzah…if u float petrol price,at least reduce car taxes. Dont just give perks to EV owners who are T20 group.
And one reminder…u have less than 3 years to “give surprises” like the diesel price floatation.
Surely you dont want to follow Rishi Sunak’s pathway to extinction.
45k with manual transmission, NA engine, no safety features comparable to S70 with higher cost of parts produced in Malaysia. So many idiots here
45k in CHINA? 75-95K in MY. what happened here??
remember anwar said that china is investing RM160 billion in Malaysia..
Well this literature graduate(anwar ibrahim) is going to milk the malaysian and then with the raja formula and the WEF puppet say thats what the RM160 billion is about!!
Because of idiot buyers like you. Xmau support lagi nak komplen.
add another RM30K (70% of price in China) and you’ll get turbo.proton R&D price to rakyat.thank you proton
You guys really forgot that S70 use a modern engine, a DCT, and ADAS. wow. We are really ungrateful aren’t we?
This should be the specs to be sold in Malaysia as family sedan, not the fancy but problematic 3-cylinder turbo n dct
kalo 45k…beli manual pun ok…murah nya…
Ya we bodoh believing petrol is subsidized when the truth is the subsidy given is recoup through higher new car price
Additional RM20k just for turbo engine is not justifiable. Rakyat diperbodohkan lagi. Hidup Madani, hidup Proton
Proton will justify the 30k markup is for Proton R&D, mostly to convert to RHD and of cosss, proton legendary grille engineering and sticker engineering…
It cost only 45k in China but 74k here is because of blatant corruption with taxes and AP for cronies. We are the only car producing nation where we need to pay 9 years instalments on a car. In other country at the most it is only 5 years max. Blame it all on cronyism and corruptions.
Not to mention the absurd road tax prices rises exponentially.
