Nope, same interior as CBU, only gearknob and logos are different.

Maybe for a midlife revision in 2021 we will get this interior? Hope so.

i do hope its soon too... but even X50 CKD is still far from reality, so its doubtful next year so soon...

I like what Proton is doing here.

They know that the Boyue Pro would take too long to convert and retool for RHD and potentially too expensive for their main demographic so they choose to transplant some features of that car to the older X70, namely the powertrain, power tailgate and vented seats.

DCT with 5 years unlimited mileage warranty is a bold statement from proton

no DCT ever lasted 5 years without any mechanical problem before

Still it remains to be seen how reliable it is.

Ppl in Malaysia keeps the cars for more than 10 years.. Some wira already approaching 20 years

Really doubt DCT can last so long

Exora was launched in 2011 right


Did it come with punch cvt cos the first batch is almost 10 years old and did not hear many cvt gearbox breaking down

Got complain on lack of power but not overheat or totally breakdown right

1. cars nowadays are never meant to last long, the lifespan is just gonna get shorter and shorter as times goes
else how do they maintain the company afloat
2. no DCT right now ever lasted even 3 years without any problems before
so that's why i saw 5 years unlimited warranty is a very bold statement

the only real competitor right now is the DCT inside the honda city hybrid, i didn't follow them so am not sure if their DCT encounter any problems yet

punch CVT sucks in terms of usage
but it doesn't mean it's unreliable

people don't like it is because it doesn't work like other japanese CVT
but nobody doubted it's reliability yet

The CVT seems fairly robust in the Saga/Persona, but the ones paired to CFE turbo engines did have severe issues from what I have seen and heard.
