After the X70 is CKD I really hope that the local proton management will listen to feedbacks and make some changes to the premiums spec such as

Using just 18 inch tyres.  This is the best compromise between comfort and handling and looks as 19 inch is overkill

Remove the sunroof or make it optional add on

Jusy taking out the above 2 could easily shave off at least 5k to 8k in price and make the x70 premium even more attractive to buy and own for long term

The 17 inch std has the best comfortable ride.

I think geely/proton intended to make it overkill for current pricing. So X70 will pop out of spec if doing comparison on paper, on spec, or real compare.

IF they have plan premium 4wd on top premium. So they can trim down spec and make it on 4wd..but problem still there, people who buy premium 4wd will wish having that trim down too......

That's my 2cent...

anyone bought the excutive 2wd?
Does it comes with blind spot indicator?

Don't feel like getting the premium because some of the features like sunroof, ADAS, nappa are not really important to me. Can save around 15k for that!
*
Even my awd doesn’t come with blind spot indicator and adaptive cruise control
These two features more important then Nappa and sunroof which are more like cosmetic display

LOL.. Nappa tagged as cosmetic... Sunroof I agree.
Did you really sit nappa seat before?

And awd was executive. Same spec like 2wd executive only awd.

Edit:
For me nappa has no cosmetic feature as it orange brown color not really match x70 interior

Most dislike sunroof but if you tint it well  the diffused light into the cabin is very nice and it feels more spacious.

Agree.
The only problem I afraid is when the sunroof kena batu and crack.
That time confirm super costly to replace

I suppose kena batu is one of the risk associated with sunroof. But I do prefer this sunroof. I honestly understand the reasons of not wanting it but in life.... there are ppl who do wish for such things. I can also bet there are ppl who wish to not have tpms, cause for 50 years of driving didn’t have one, no need nappa cause can save few more thousand, straight up just have 1.8 without turbo too..... save some”hassle” of “maintaining the complicated turbo”.

Heck y even go sooo atas...... do halogen bulb with ladder frame chassis ala avanza, some say will drop the total price by 20k lol.

Anyway, just placing sunroof on the top spec is a wise choice, cause, not all would afford or want it, but not to alienate those who want and are able to afford it. It’s not even the fancy panoramic ones the likes of Tesla......

The X70 is using

225/65/17
225/60/18
225/55/19

the lower profile the tyre for 19 inch the more expensive I suppose but also ride will be very harsh

Anyone got price list of the common 225/55/19 tyres

IIRC, you can get Nexen 225/55/19 tyres for RM5xx/piece in Sunway, Quicksave, etc.
Might be able to get cheaper in Klang/Meru

That's not too bad.

Suppose that the Michelin will cost a bomb

Hey yoh.

My sister has one, Executive 2WD, I help her sort out most of the thing regarding accessories.

Before getting the car, salesman recommend me Raytech with "salesman promotion".
In fact I would like to send to my neighborhood Raytech as well if they did not offer any voucher for me.
So is like a convenience for me cause they will Raytech worker to fit the tint at showroom also.

This package is RM1900 follow JPJ Recommended Visible Light Transmission (VLT) (The darkness of the tint, front 70% driver side 50%, rear 30%).

And I add one more layer of dark tint to all windows which is illegal. All windows cost RM250 more and the VLT on my car now is like only 30% driver side and 20% all rear windows. Front Windscreen is not included.
