y car is ready.... waiting for loan approval..... hope to get the car before cny

I noticed that the design of the exterior look big. but inside is very tight.
I dont know if it is the design. the interior looks and feels a lot smaller than waja.

Drove it, not bad pick ups,cabin quiet n jusy frm outside the 3cylinders noise.
Car feels premium

Notice this on X50 also. Inside quiet, but on the outside the 3 cylinder vibration is loud.

I would like to know what brand tire also. Maybe it is the cause of the NVH problem.

Why everyone on fb said this car got better FC wheres in X50 different tone?

Saw one owner in fb group put sound insulation/deadening to the tyre roof section. Much improvement

is S70 much lighter?

maximum 70kg lighter

other factors are SUV less aerodynamic than sedan, SUV tyres usually have higher rolling resistance than normal tyres

Not sure in detail. But few of the owner getting 6L/100km for his long distance.

Bcoz, Waja is a C segment and S70 is a B segment car.

seems like s70 not as hot as preve last thing when launch. discussion here not moving

cz many are in waiting list. u ask during purchase, they told can get within 2 weeks, heck 1 month also yet to get for one of my friend. all are hunting asap cz first few k unit get free those accessories bumper package iinm

in x50 TGDI owner rage saying his car getting 12L/100km. but not showing how he drive. in s70 fb group, they got 6-7L/100km. I bet they drove as slow as possible especially new car, yet to hit 1k km

Of course s70 fuel consumption will be much better than x50. Same engine and transmission but S70 is a Sedan. Sedan vs SUV, sedan always win in term of FC due to better aerodynamic design plus lighter body.

kerb weight; s70 =1312 kg, x50=1370kg

ive been driving it for 1 week.

theres something that i like and something that i dont like.

im came from persona. so my view might not be the same compared /k standard 20k/month salary that usually drive lexus or sunset orange.

exterior wise, a very handsome car in every angle. front projector lamp makes it feel like a much expansive car when driving at night. think mazda 3.

outer door handle with push to unlock is a missed opportunity.

remote start is a plus.

i dont like the UI in the infotainment screen. wish it came with aacp. dont know the reason why it came with atlas store app which in a opinion, a bloatware with no function aside from boosting their company's fragile ego. digital speedometer is also a miss. the UI decision makes the fuel gauge harder to read. not sure why they even bother to let us customise it. doesnt seem al that different to me. in short, atlas sucks balls. 1gb/m data is a joke. i only got 1 good thing to say regarding the infotainment unit. spotify. they can throw joox in a trashcan. i dont care about it.

engine wise its just fine. if you are pedal happy kind of person such as me, expect to see the spike on fuel usage. when you need it to be fast, it could be very fast albeit the slight but noticeable turbo delay when you decided to floor it.

icc is such a new thing to me, very impressive when i see it working myself. very practical in usage. the 10k difference between premium and flagship certainly is not just paying for gimmick. genuinely useful when theres slow traffic and you just want a temporary breather.
im not sure if i like the auto hold function. it feels okay when stopping at traffic light but when you are stopping at junction i suggest just turn it off. it doesnt like sudden acceleration especially when you need to cross the heavy traffic.

feel like beating dead horse here but the suspension is really soft and comfy when you are riding past the bumb, even higher than average bump but im sure you already heard it from yt reviewers.

in conclusion, perfectly capable car surpassing the likes of vios and city and maybe altis. if you can look past its quirkiness. not sure about mazda 2 and almera.

edit. voice control is also a missed opportunity. would be better if i can actually access sports mode via voice activation. instead i need to swipe down the touch screen and find the botton. if you are going to integrate the functionality anyway, why dont you just go all in? thats why i dont like atlas, they put priority on the shit that doesnt matter. make me feel like batman not a fucking pleb.

the geely based protons all have horrible ui.

i cant stand the both the infotainment and the digital display. the font is horrible.

sad to see s70 still hasn't improved on this.

Thats the drawback from Geely HU, and that's not helping by the slowpoke Acotech. I faced many times for issues related to the car apps, Proton Link and Atlas auto, and usually takes a week to resolve once get issue.

Luckily mine (X70) cw hacked AA, and those apps, smart tube and waze. But 100% with AA cz the HU is outdated and slow, with AA it run by phone so it smooth. Just hope the S70 getting AA, ACP asap by official or by hacked version, again official by Aco Tech is just not much to expect
