Proton has launched the 2025 Proton X70 facelift in East Malaysia, two weeks after the C-segment SUV’s debut in the west. Prices in Sabah and Sarawak are RM2,000 higher than the RRP in Peninsular Malaysia, which means it’s RM100,800 for the Standard, RM112,800 for the Executive, RM125,800 for the Premium and RM128,800 for the Premium X, on-the-road without insurance.
“We are thrilled to introduce the 2025 Proton X70 to East Malaysia, an important region with opportunities to enhance market shares. This ceremony is more than just about unveiling a new vehicle; it is about reinforcing our commitment to East Malaysia,” said Proton CEO Li Chunrong.
“The unique needs of buyers here and their strong connection to the brand have always driven us to deliver the best products and services. With its updated features and refined styling, we are hopeful the 2025 Proton X70 will drive Proton to the head of the premium SUV market in East Malaysia,” he added.
Proton says that it is offering up to RM23,500 worth of added value at no extra cost for the first 3,000 customers of the X70 facelift. This includes the RM13,700 of value from the new/improved equipment list, a RM7,000 cash rebate (for all variants), trade in support of up to RM2,800 (non-Proton vehicles get RM2,000) and a Proton Insurance Programme upgrade.
The standard warranty package is five years unlimited with six times free labour service. Buyers will also get a five-year data package of 1GB per month.
To address concerns about parts availability in East Malaysia, Proton says that it has made substantial investments in its parts network by opening two new regional parts centres (RPC) – one in Kuching (February 2023) and another in Kota Kinabalu, launched three weeks ago. “These RPCs significantly boost the company’s parts managing capability, ensuring that Sabah and Sarawak customers receive prompt and reliable service,” Proton says.

Lambatnya.. why the delay in launching , even within Malaysia ?
Indeed very attractive but I want to know is 4wd or awd. I need to know also it’s horsepower.
As usual east malaysia is bullied
Sabah and sarawak should be exempted from participating in the national car policy as it does not benefit them one bit.
They should be allowed to participate in asean free trade fully to attract car manufactrers to set up plants there for export unlike in peninsular where car manufacturers are prevented from opening car plants to protect proton.
only east Malaysia enjoy cheap diesel?
east malaysia got proper roads?
Originally, the awd option was meant for sabah and sarawak.but now its been ditched.
proton high levels: lets offer awd but without any sort of active safety
also proton high levels : noBOdy wAntS AWd, SeE CanT sEll aT all
Hi proton,
Why is so difficult to build a proper 4 cylinder timing chain engine car in 2024? While other department from design to features are all up to par.
They are flogging a dead horse. When are we getting the replacement model?
We Borneans are used to to all these cabotage policy crap anyways, everything from sugar to rice to condoms to ass wipes is pricier than malaya.
ironic because diesel is cheaper in east Malaysia
