Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH)

what dilemma you got?

i scare the geely engine cannot tahan malaysia weather; and also the fuel consumption... so my final decision is wait and observe first.

I bought the jet grey premium. SA told me red and grey selling like hot cakes. Other than these 2 colours are available on the spot but i didnt like it much. I read somewhere that they got 200-300 bookings daily. This shipment they bring 2000 CBU units, next shipment in March 3000 units.

This engine is an old engine. Its nothing new and have been tested before this although Geely did refine it. As for the fuel consumption, its a typical SUV consumption, which on a higher side if you compare to sedan cars.

means your grey color need wait until next year March?

will be eyeing this car start from today...

'hm.... ok, u are right.... perhaps i shouldnt expect it same fuel consup like sedan .... but the 19" tyres.....hurts.

nice car with not so premium price..hmmm
just hold and wait for the 1st batch to know the defects first

My SA said differently, that the next shipment is end of Jan. After going through the customs and inspections those, should be ready early Feb.

this thread title not going change to X70?

i did not go to any proton edar to see the car
just so happen 1 popped out at my town
it's a grey colour ones
i can say this car does not look like any locally made or japanese made car at all

the design of the car screams continental every corner, it's a very good looking car doesn't matter where u look it from

is this thread for the new proton x70?
yesterday saw 1 at my back and it is quite beautiful...
at first thought it is audi but then see the logo proton...
WOW!!!
i think now proton is heading back to its glory days...

Anyone know the speaker brand they using is across the board or only Premium got Kenwood?

Only Premium got Kenwood audio. The rest using no name OEM speakers.

It's all good but Proton logo should change, as the old Proton logo will still remind people of typical proton.

X70 already feel more high class than CRV

Been following this Boyue/X70 since mid year. Had some concerns but it seems this 2018 facelift model had some improvement.

The lagging drive train had been reprogrammed, seems the X70 is not as lethargic as the 2017 Boyue. Still not as sporty as we're used to BUT it's a comfort SUV (not Sporty driving).

The X70 head unit apparently has a better chip (Vs China Boyue) hence better resolution. The fact that they work with Nuance Communications is admirable & means Geely is serious about RHD market expansion. Be interesting when they get ready for export (Thai & Indonesian language for voice command).

Sadly, Proton Ride & Handling not there. Perhaps didn't have enough time to tweek as the homologation process is quite stringent & time consuming. Suspect CKD will have it.

That 19" tyres is gonna be bumpy but I was told in SUV, 19" isn't really THAT big (akin to 17" in a C segment sedan).

Am pretty certain phase 2 CKD will have the new 1.5L TGDI with 7 gears DSG with 2019 Boyue facelift. But expect this only after 2020.

Few technical things that still need clarification. What is the turbo boost (? PSI). Does it have a separate ATF oil cooler (or is it part of the existing radiator). What ATF are they using (& why the hell is it so expensive RM500!!) What are the gear ratio & final ratio? Who is the turbo manufacturer? (My research points to Vofon model VF02). With the engine compartment fully enclosed, will there be a big heat soak after engine is turn off? Does the turbo have coolant flowing (via convection) after engine off (or even better, coolant flow using electric pump). Wonder if there is an aftermarket (bigger) intercooler? (So far haven't come across any in China Boyue forum).

Can easily upgrade to Morel speakers (as what the Boyue gets in China)

Edit: corrected "Morel" name

logo will not give such huge impact on a brand compared to name...
maybe u see logo is different but name still proton then i also will give the same impression...

but i agree that x70 is more luxury than CRV liao...

ya.. inside feels more luxurious than CRV seriously. the nappa leather and the brush aluminium touch. Heck the whole console and dash area, especially gear knob is much better.

Can see the speaker here
