If you malas baca, here got TL:DR summary

- 1.8T paired with 7DCT gearbox, engine now has 15nm more torque(300nm) and DCT is backed up with 5 years unlimited mileage warranty

- Faster 0-100kmh(9.5 vs 10.5 sec) and fuel economy (7.5 vs 7.8l/100km)

- Power tailgate on Exec and Premium (foot sensor opening for Premium)

- Two new color options, one of which is Ruby Red

- Ventilated front seats which direct cold air onto your back and bottom(Exec and Premium)



Price dunno yet, but likely gonna be retained from CBU

Please, let everything in this report be true, especially those ventilated seats 😂

Report says that 1.5T was planned initially but now the CKD will only come with 1.8T. The smaller engine might be reserved for X50.

why not yet flying car?

i want to book if any

Why not ask the third national carmaker, Dreamedge to make it

They are partnering with Daihatsu/Perodua, the originators of Myvi which is known for flying

specs macam best je...hopefully the driving experience will be better too

More torque+better gearbox and Proton involvement with Ride & Handling. Should be noticeably better to drive than current CBU.

Sunroof retain or not?

Power tailgate hnggghhh

now really tempted to upgrade wife's car to this

Premium got two versions, no sunroof and with sunroof.

Hopefully the one with sunroof has a thicker or opaque sunroof cover. I myself notice the cover is too thin for the CBU model.

Yes for top spec. Now can buy premium without sunroof and premium with sunroof

1.8T+7DCT is faster than stated, with testing in China getting a time of 9.06 seconds according to automachi

2 premium variant? So confusing..

Have to please differing market needs I guess. Some want the nappa leather but don't want to deal with a moving glass panel on the roof.

And now that the slow selling Exec AWD is no more, can make room for variants that could potentially sell more.

All reports pointing to no price drop... do you think this will affect the sales?

yeah right?

but more flexible for buyers to choose

ok la, more sales later

The current CBU prices are already very good value as is. I don't think anyone will complain if specs go up but prices stay the same.

With gov mulling to restructure tax and duty rates of automobiles, who knows what effect it will have on the price sold.

actually no price drop but add features should be the correct strategy... else the current CBU range market price will drop a lot also, then existing owners rage... see now many old models saga owner rage since new saga cost lesser... so can expect minimal price drop for top spec...

But we've been used to CKD = cheaper price... (whether adding features or not)

Dont make me laugh la.


Proton ride and handling ,LMAO

probably the standard variant cut a few k then call it a day

They better be... else ppl will rage why no price drop.

Dont worry.

Poor fag cannot afford. Richfag wouldnt bother.


The one that will buy, will buy it anyway.

We'll see if the GKUI system is an updated version with nicer graphics.

If you check out Wapcar's review of the Binyue, it has a more modern GKUI system and the interface is way cleaner looking with more streamlined fonts and icons on the menu screens.

wait for X50 with ( CBU ) ??

yes, i will wait for x50, more cost effective

Who cares about AWD when you have seats that prevents your buns from overheating

While everyone waiting for CKD, I shall wait for this interior for pro.. probably years..

My biggest concern is the DCT.

After VW issue with the DCT makes me worry if it can last 10 years or more which is min how long poor folks like me keep their cars

Different purpose. X70 is for if you want something that is almost luxurious. X50 is for those that want all the tech and features but lighter, faster and easier to maneuver.

No worries. Warranty 5 years.

Plus freeman1 said now dct no more problem like before

What about after 5 years.

Will it overheat going up to genting or Cameron like the Passat recently

Hi proton tukr jadi
salam proton

We don't know until it gets to the hands of owners and be driven.

But the least we should expect is better smoothness and fuel consumption, less jerkiness and hesitation to respond like a few owners have experienced with the CBU with 6AT.

I tot CKD interior same like this?

VW issues with dry gearbox right? DCT - dual clutch transmission also VW have issues is it?

x50 if too slow ill get x70 lor

Probably the next CKD facelift after 2-3 years with the enhanced exterior looks like the Boyue Pro as well

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.

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

no DCT ever lasted 5 years without any mechanical problem before

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.

I think they plan to go production of X50 in sept 2020.They already send lots of their manpower training at Xiangtan China for the past few months.So I think conlanfirm la this year...

Favourite question

Get the CBU now or wait for CKD


Bye

eh ok what Proton Ride and Handling. far better handling than P2.

or maybe since Lotus is under them directly, maybe have Lotus Handling badge instead

better get cbu x50

yes it is ..

go ask that insider bila mau launch x50, apanama 110xxxx

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

Comparing 2 different product altogether.




Proton bankrupted. Remember that.

As if punch CVT can last long

They are bound to...Imagine one model cost 300-400 millions RM.How many to sell before can get ROI...Better rebadge la,we simply dont have big economic scale like China..

not yet .. is too early to ask... maybe after X70 launch only ask which is after 13th February (not sure infor)

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

Gone are the days of the Nissan Sunny 130y lasting 30 years and more

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

gone are the days of front headlamp and rear tail light made out of glass and last forever too

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.

Ayam reply to you just because of your nickname🤣

So? Even X70 got LEDs for the headlights, fog lights and tail lights. And also got new features never before seen that are taken from the Boyue Pro

Finish China old stock, what tok you?

it may have been it's over the torque limit

from what i remember, the GB's limit for torque and the number of torque the engine produce is very near
not yet included the aftermarket mods that some drivers did to increase torque

X70 will be 3 years old by the end of 2021, perfect time to introduce new interior and a few exterior changes.

Locally assembled fit and finish should be noticeably worse.

Cant wait for the launching of x50...

Proton CEO says quality is 6x better now compared to 2017 audit Sos
dunno how true is that, long time never own Proton d...

Gonna finish my house first then end of the year gonna see x50 ok or not.

they also should train their salesman to think more like a human.

i feel like buying a tiguan instead of X70 just to spite ohman and his ultra fanatic support of PRC.

Got 3,369 remaining CBU units and then afterwards all 30,000 imported X70s will be sold out.

Guarantee got big discount this CNY so get it now if you're a firm believer that CBU quality>CKD.
