I see. Anyone got slots left? I watch the videos, seems like the quality of the cameras are not that good. Or is it just the preview unit only like that?

It's possible but could be due to indoor poor lighting. This saturday got public viewing so we'll get more info..

my gf (soon to be fiance) want to have a SUV b-seg, and keep say HRV better than x50 due to honda, japanese car, more reliable bla bla bla. looking at proton like low level like that...i'm so keen to have x50 but gf (w/o car knowledge) keep have those "listen parents/fren say" mentality, making the purchase of x50 is very impossible...

While im getting a D seg sedan in future

worst come to worst if she has bought HRV, I wouldn't be happy and I wouldn't drive/sit that car tbh

If she is a simple point A to B driver, then Honda might be the better choice. For normal service, Honda is good, bar the warranty claim issue. If she can ignore minor squicky2 sound, go Honda.

Proton older models are mechanically reliable but rattle quite sooner than other brands. Service quality is bad, even in COSE have to wait half a day to change oil even if you are 1st in queue. If older model, can go to authorised service center like Lim Tayar to do minor service quickly. If geely model, cannot run away from 3S and 4S.

Actually I would rather think that if Executive variant is below RM80k, it can grab a lot of sales.

Malaysian like leather seats.

It’s leatherette means ‘synthetic leather’ not real leather haha.

Wtf 103K doesn’t make sense man I estimated the highest is 95K for highest variant.

If they really price 103K then i confirm Proton is trying to raise the price range bar for the future models including revamped Saga and Iris.

It’s possible that we are getting this ‘low quality’ camera because it’s CKD with 45% parts/component locally assembled.

They trying to cut down cost while keeping the price high for profit 🤷🏼‍♂️

Agree but my friend who drives a City 2017 claims that each service cost minimum 560 and more than 800 for major ones.

So unless Geely components are that expensive, don’t think you will pay more than 500 for proton car service unless major

That's why I was saying if the Executive model is below RM80k, it makes a lot of sense for many ppl. Not everyone needs L2 autonomous driving and sun roof. Small SUV also no need 360 camera in the Premium.

Executive already has sync leather seats and reserve camera. 17" wheel is cheaper to maintain and more comfort. 1.5T with MPI on the lower end model makes more sense on longevity.

ppl buy x70 and buy x50 is diff market le, x70 is more family car, x50 is more like single or just married or decide to have 1 kid punya ppl car. but i agree they should not eat into each price range. just like hrv will not eat into CRV range.
