Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the Executive at RM106,800. On paper, both Executive and Premium use the same 1,499 cc petrol engine, 178 hp output, wet dual-clutch automatic gearbox and five-seat layout, so the RM13,000 jump to the RM119,800 Premium is not buying a different powertrain. Pay more only if the Premium’s trim and equipment match what you want after checking the kit list.

Verdict
The X70 remains an important Proton: it was the first product from the Geely partnership and did much to change how buyers viewed the brand. Earlier X70 drives showed plush ride quality and very quiet refinement, which remain key reasons to shortlist it. It is not the cheapest C-segment SUV, though; the Proton eMas 7 starts lower, while the Jetour Dashing matches its entry price.
