any idea whae it will be launched? looking into buying one

00001

Soon. Likely Nov or Dec.
Early rumour from my James Bond said it will be 1.5 turbo engine. I guess they will mirror X50 range with the top end having DI turbo. The 1.5 NA engine will be available later on, not during launch.

Bet base spec with 1.5T MPI, full spec with 1.5T Tgdi. That's the engine available or produce here

Car dealer taking booking. Est from RM80k onwards. For this price range, I’m guessing that the 1.5 turbo engine will be given

spec already given, share here..

lowest variant no reverse sensor LOLOL

HP higher than Mazda 3 2.0…

bro, from what i've heard (from ppl who drive it already) it's using x50 MPI setup which is not higher than Mazda 2.0 and there is no Mazda 2 2.0 variant, all of them is 1.5.

I misread that it has 177hp.

And I meant Mazda 3

we have to wait until Proton release official power figure since now no official info on whether it's like x50 got mpi and tgdi or only mpi variant

Price all out already:

⭐️𝗥𝗠𝟳𝟯,𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲*
⭐️𝗥𝗠𝟳𝟵,𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺*
⭐️𝗥𝗠𝟴𝟵,𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝗴𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽*
⭐️𝗥𝗠𝟵𝟰,𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝗴𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗫*

Waiting for the first owner to report in

Only MPI for S70. Hp, Torque as usual retain same for all model using this engine. Proton should be more hardworking by adjusting (via tuning?) for hp/Nm according to car model if possible.

based on few reviews (reviewer testing event or something) the throttle respond is a joke like x50/x70. It's not smooth on pedal respond, press a little = slow respond, press more = jumpy.

Hopefully they really fix it.

tbh is mpi/lower hp such a big deal?

i think the current figures are perfectly adequate.

Not tbh. At least prevent from carbon deposit as GDI issues. Slightly less hp/Nm is not too much

Definitely looks like a B-Segnent beater. The only question mark now is how the fuel consumption is like. Frugal or crazy like the TGdi on the X50?

First impression it looks promising. MPI should not have the problem of carbon build up like in the TGdi?

Yes for the carbon deposit thing. Nowadays can get carbon deposit cleaning at rm400

frankly i prefer mpi over gdi.... less problems for the injectors in the long run... there are better ways of getting more power than that

Not injector issues, carbon deposit due to fuel (with additive) not passing thru the valves. Nowadays many workshop offer carbon deposit cleaning at rm400, use to be rm700-800 years ago. Use walnut for cleaning

i went to see the car..... good value for money, even in the lowest spec..... buying one....

guys, I am interested to Test Drive S70 in Klang Valley. where should I go or who should I call

SA said test drive unit wil be available mid of december

Where to see one?

Reporting in. Placed my booking. Hope getting it before CNY.
Very likely Grey Flagship model.

Finger cross no parts issue

The fact that no AA/AC is a let down

At least if they allow sideload APK of Carlinkit, can get a dongle for that purpose is much better.

Giving a PUNY 1GB is a joke yet allow streaming of Spotify, SYOK etc. What the crap?



Otherwise it will be a godcar at 80k for Premium

Most 3S or 4S showrooms have units already. Just search on FB. Search for S70. Dealers did a nationwide roadshow last weekend (2 & 3 Dec).

Test drive cars not ready from factory yet...

Expected to get mine b4 cny

Expected to get mine b4 cny

wanna ask about the ACC with stop and go, is the version on s70 fully stop and go during traffic jams? meaning follow at low speed during jam, and stop when needed to, and start to move by itself when the car in front is moving? or after each time it stops then need to step on pedal to move it again?

thanks

I went to see one, SA said like 30kmh only will activate.. so stop and go is not here?

yes it supports stop and go, the min speed u can set on ICC mode is 30kmh.

Got, but if the car infront stop more than 3 seconds need to tap back the pedal or click resume on steering.

Steering mode not listed below flagship. Is it still selectable inside hu or totally not available?

I like the dapao hook at front passenger side. Very localize.

Got news saying car delivery as early as next week.

30kmh won't work in jam thou
Those need 5-10kmh no?

min speed u can set in ICC is 30kmh which means it can work from 0kmh and limit at 30kmh..
then u can raise the set speed higher to a max of 150kmh if not mistaken.

So this S70 vs X50 Flagship, which one better take?

Diff need
What you want?

Oh shits cool

the car looks good..but the things that hold my booking due to only have 5 parking sensors and camera based icc...sigh..need to wait for test drive unit first to see how it perform.

y proton decide reduce the sensor...is it due no APA in s70?

Saw the car on the road yesterday.. No number plate red colour unit..

Back looks ok but couldn't see the front

Not bad but hope to see white colour on the road soon

Theres always an arguement what sensor prevail, RADAR or Camera.

Tesla said camera + AI is future

Others still incorp RADAR + CAMERA + AI (bought from others)


FYI, those Autonomous driving are not developed by these car manufacturer, they bought the SDK from solution providers. While Tesla develop everything in house.


S70 specs looks good on paper, overall ownership experience never wins especially theres still spare part issues on X50 and X70 TILL TODAY.

actually the car got stock ady?anyone have driven it before?

would ppl consider this over the civic which is almost double the price?

If wanna buy wait 1 year. Even recent x90 got rebates nowadays

Anyone have any idea if S70 Flagship X have tint from factory?

Those who buy this are those who really want civic but can't afford it a full spec civic top up bit can buy one standby car for spare parts

According to the brochure. Yes, it has.

Nobody gt the car yet?

was told i woukld get mine before cny

Saw the info if first how many unit get free body kit by proton

parking for in case i need to share my grievance regarding this car in the future

hopefully mostly positive thing

Sudah naik harga ah?

on the right is OTR (on the road) price with insurance

my bad, thanks

Car allocated! Woohoo

Boleh consider utk beli as 3rd car...

how is the fuel consumption

uncle khong says its 17km per litre

Hi guys, i went to see the car and made a video of Premium X varient.

Did u buy it

This week collecting my car. Let’s hope for the best. Flagship grey!

Collecting my car tomorrow .

congrat bro. I took mine today.
Since you taking it tomorrow, please help to ask, the usb port on top (behind front cabin light), can it be used to power the dashcam?

Terima kasih. And enjoy the ride.

Yes can to power up the dashcam for all Proton Geely model, x70, x50. Can diy for installation of dashcam

Great! then i shall DIY.

Can share review a bit? Have u tried the cruise control,does it work well?

- Aircon and power window so far no problem.
- Engine noise a bit rough but not obvious in the car. no worry, no shaking.
- tire noise ada. Do consider change a better tire.
- Steering stiitching can improve.
- Internal space is acceptable for me.
- Finally with rear passenger aircon, no more complain from kids.
- tinted that come along, quality ok lah. dont put high expectation. At least they put darker tinted for rear passengers window.
- Autonomous features work well. Very intelligent.
- Turning on all the safety features, kinda annoying and stressful. Need to off some of it. (cos im new to these features)
- The maps support real traffic condition, its okay even without apple / android car play. Spotify pun ada.
- Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) - no complain when I use it at highway. I totally agree with those reviewers +ve comments on proton / Geely ICC that its better than other makers.

I would say, worth the money for what we getting in term of performance, comfort and build quality.
Now let's hope there's "no why no buy 2" major issue.

So far

- tire noise ada in cabin especially on rough road.
- ICC works well (first time use icc) but can feel sudden braking if got moto change lane infront of you.
- 360 camera very clear.
- Space wise is okay for me even at the back.
- good thigh support for driver seat (170cm person).
- build quality is okay for its price.
- Tried the maps once, so far at my place is accurate enough but no idea for other places.

Overall, good value for 90k. Now need to wait if got any major issue.

Both of you highlighted the tire noise. It is because of poor wheel insulation or the tire?

Need to change better tire only know 😂

wanna ask the boot space and the seat can fold? would i have any trouble if let say want to put a wheelchair inside?

send insulation shop for additional soundproofing material around that tyre section area. 100% improvement than taking chance on good tyre.

Seat can fold, should be okay for wheelchair.

I didnt know it comes with tinted.

I didn’t know until I got the car. Haha

Not sure how true is this.

Sideload or OTA update

I’m gonna bet on fake news

Which variant is that?

flagship

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.
