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.

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?
