As we know, Proton's CEO Dr Li Chunrong said in early September that the new Proton model will be released in two months' time. So based on his timeline, we are looking at a launch date of around the


1st or 2nd week of November. That is just a fortnight away.

18 November (Saturday) ?
11 November (Saturday) ???

18.11.2023 ?

11.11.2023 ???

Variant	Price (RM)
Executive	73,800
Premium	79,800
Flagship	89,800
Flagship X	94,800

Possible Proton S70 specification.

The Proton S70 is likely to be equipped with the 1.5 liter TGDi turbocharged three-cylinder engine - same as its compatriot the X50 & X70, with DCT gearbox powering the wheels. Also expected to be included is the standard ADAS safety system.

The million dollar question: Proton S70 price?

You must have googled ‘Proton X70 expected price’ at least once right? No one knows, but we do have an idea. If we look at the three Japanese models mentioned above - The City, Vios and Almera.


These cars' price range are almost the same -

From RM 73 K - RM 95 K with the exception of City 1.5L e:HEV RS which is priced at RM 111k.

The price of Proton S70 will likely be in the same competitive

RM 73 K -RM 95 k range,

though it wouldn't hurt us if Proton prices it slightly lower from Rm 70k onwards.

So, would you like to get your hands on the Proton S70?

no1 thinking about it silly

Waiting to see if there will be a steel wheel option for taxis

Dimension is not correct. The car is wider than that. 1748mm is like vios size only.

if really 181hp i think proton will win many youngsters heart.... myvi will no longer hold the KING

Why the design looks so old school ?

Beautiful car impressive spec for money as long don't catch fire and got spare part ok la, nowaday potong catching fire like nobodies business

My SA said launch on 18.

1.5 TGDI
Feature ikut macam X90
Got 4 variant
Executive, Premium, Flagship and Flagship X
Price range estimated 70-110k

Let wait and see.

30 percent like BMW

This post has been edited by plouffle0789: Oct 24 2023, 07:15 AM

181hp macam already level mazda3, civic n altis

displacement also size around civic

price point ill guess should be at 90k to 120k

Anehneh as usual can complain only but offer nothing. 😅

Why? Plotong already licensed the 1.5 Turbocharged DCT engine from Geely/Bolvo. Might as well use that.

damn, but turbo charged 1.5 up to 181 hp means easily 90k+
but turbo charged got pros/con when it comes to maintenance..

Maybe 18 November coz 11 November is day befoee Deepavali.

Rear looks like Kia

price cannot be more than 60k for base model, else DOA.

Honda Civic

Nissan Altima

Mazda CX-5
