Strangely most buyers of x70 opt for the premium variant, not the "loan reject" marginal buyers.

The standard rm100k x70 has the least bookings and hardly any on the road so far.

The ones making the most noise are the "loan reject" category. Perhaps they were expecting the price to be same as City/Vios & thus can upgrade to the X70.

What they fail to understand is the marketing behind the X70. Dr Li & (Geely) Proton no longer wish to compete par on par with Perodua. The rebranding exercise encompasses new products that are competing with Conti in China, not the entry level Japanese A & B segments M'sian are familiar with.

See the buyers of X70, they drive Mercedes BMW and buy the Premium variant perhaps as the 2nd or 3rd car. They're also more mature (ie older).

Exactly......its the mature group buying quietly. The marginal group cancel bookings n buy aruz.


Make so much noise about loan rejects. Those buying premium can already afford 150k cars so 120k no prob. Sales n bankers told me.

Normal proton 2s will close down soon. The new 4s are so nice. It's really up to buyers how they perceive x70.

It's strange that customers will buy x70 paying cx5 price under geely but not under proton.

So, does it translate to customers will buy Toyota rush under umw n not aruz under perodua ?

Ppl really pay 30x extra for branding?


I prefer to use the extra money on something else than showing off a brand.

The x70 looks like the range rover sports side view. Inside grab bars look like Porsche cayenne.
