S70 in 2026 — what's new

Which variant to buy
Start with the Executive at RM73,800 unless you already know which extra equipment you want. The Premium costs RM79,800, the Flagship RM89,800 and the Flagship X RM94,800, but the mechanical spec is identical: 1,499 cc petrol engine, 178 hp, wet dual-clutch automatic, five seats. On paper you are paying for trim, not a different drivetrain. The RM21,000 gap from Executive to Flagship X needs to be justified by the equipment list.

Proton S70 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The S70’s case is simple: it is a turbocharged petrol C-segment sedan priced below the RM100,000 BYD Seal 6, RM106,800 Aion ES and RM119,620 Mazda 3 Sedan entry points. It has also crossed 40,000 deliveries since November 2023, with 7,157 bookings for the 2026 MC1. The honest caveat is trim clarity: all four variants share the same 178 hp drivetrain, so buyer focus should be on equipment and running costs.
