QUOTE(MyProLife @ Nov 30 2023, 06:21 PM) Yeah Can start from auto home forum https://club.m.autohome.com.cn/bbs/thread/7...57065086-1.htmlVery spicy info on x70 origins bro....unker finished the article liao....TBH, all these information just a story from someone don't know who....no technical information and not accurate at all... If they are using the S70 which already applied in X50/x70....I'm sorry to say that non of them are BMA platform.... Whatever they copy RAV4 or not....even they improvise from there....this kind of reverse engineering usually just create more weakness rather than building any better platform... I'm sorry to proton X50/X70 and even S70 owners, they are sold by Proton/Geely without proper information....被出卖了...LoL This post has been edited by xiaojohn: Nov 30 2023, 08:44 PM

QUOTE(MyProLife @ Nov 30 2023, 07:38 PM) In 2016 when geely partnership with proton (took over 49% stack) proton licensed 3 platforms from geely (NL, BMA and CV) BMA binyue is ended up as x50 Bro...unker just check....even X50 is not in BMA platform.... which means they are using DIFF platform in Proton X50 and S70....it should be something much more older.....--> which means more parts (platforms), non-modular, less strength requirement, more noise chasis...  Proton actually can learn from Perodua x Toyota... They don't hesitate to tell buyer they are sharing DNGA platform....and Toyota Vios is using DNGA platform....

bro....unker finished the article liao....
TBH, the link and article inside has no REFERENCE VALUE....
all these information just a story from someone don't know who....no technical information and not accurate at all...
If they are using the S70 which already applied in X50/x70....I'm sorry to say that non of them are BMA platform....
Whatever they copy RAV4 or not....even they improvise from there....this kind of reverse engineering usually just create more weakness rather than building any better platform...
I'm sorry to proton X50/X70 and even S70 owners, they are sold by Proton/Geely without proper information....被出卖了...LoL
I think only Proton/Geely know what they are doing secretly inside....

QUOTE(xiaojohn @ Nov 30 2023, 08:59 PM) how to know/confirm X50 is using BMA platform? Because it's reported in every media outlet, who got the info from press releases and press kits. Unless you're implying Geely/Proton lying through their teeth to everybody. Tell me, before TNGA/DNGA, do Toyota market the name of the platform they are using? Do you know the name of the platform Honda is using?

QUOTE(xiaojohn @ Nov 30 2023, 06:39 PM) eh...bodo you....go see Geely China also use CVT lah....kau ah....bodo lah China and Philippines using CVT because it is mated to the 1.5NA engine. Proton opted for the 1.5T because of local market expectations, and also they are already manufacturing the engine in Malaysia. The entire drivetrain (engine + DCT gearbox) was lifted from the X50. It is more cost efficient to share these components between 3 models (S70, X50, X70), instead of starting another drivetrain assembly line just for S70.

QUOTE(xiaojohn @ Nov 30 2023, 05:36 PM) Another thing that i think you maybe overlooked... Geely have their own BMA (B-segment Modular Architecture) platform..... This BMA is B-Segment platform... and they apply this BMA in Geely Emgrand....but the wheelbase is 2650mm not 2627mm in proton s70... https://global.geely.com/en/models/emgrandUnker also check the proton S70 brochure....proton didn't specifically mentioned they use BMA in S70... So unker think proton S70 probably not built on BMA platform... Below is the BMA platform.... Below is the PROTON S70 platform... Quite huge different So what are you saying? That the S70 is a completely different car from Emgrand? That Proton took another platform and built a car that looks exactly like the Emgrand, using up even more development funds, then sell it cheaper than Vios/City?

You can read this... https://www.automachi.com/2023/11/is-the-20...rawang-factory/the cross region using same-platform is something that recently developed not too long ago....to cut cost, also to have less parts of platform and increase the stability....
