Went to showroom yesterday for the S70. The front design look a bit dated while the rear design just moderate. It is big contrast inside with its stylish design and advance tech. At 90k (flagship) you get the full ADAS, full digital instrument, big head unit, electronic parking brake, and most important is the turbocharged engine with DCT.

The car looks like C segment however the interior length is smaller than City similar like Vios, but the S70 is much wider than the duo. Btw I do not put high hope in drive because as usual China car setting is soft suspension with obvious body roll in corner. But it is still a good buy consider that the price is cheap.

No, not everytime Proton did the tuning based on Malaysian preference. The X50 suspension is ultra soft similar like old time Toyota suspension. My family got 1 X50 flagship and I can assure this. When speed after 100km/h the car feel "floating" and really bad body roll.

X50 is not light at almost 1400kg but the car handling doesn't feel solid at all. X50 fuel consumption is quite high consider that the car is B segment SUV.

Many Chinese brands car copy the tech from German as use of turbocharged, dual clutch and even the radiator coolant. But the main different between Chinese and German car is the ride and handling. In China people mostly prefer "soft suspension" over the stiff one. If you got a chance pls go test drive the new Chinese brands in Malaysia such as Omoda 5, Tiggo 8, Atto 3, Dophin, Ora Cat etc. Most of them are in soft setting rather than hard and this is exactly same setup as China market.

Proton isn't tune the X50 a bit softer, it is too soft like old Toyota. The absorber rebounce too much after a bump, this feel comfort but in high speed this feel floating.

It is good to tune comfort but this setting is "ultra comfort" which is tend to be like sampan riding feel. We all know Proton is famous with its ride and handling but this is completely missing in X50. When I browse youtube maybe youtubers claim the X50 is good in almost everywhere and in handling parts most comment it is more in comfort side but handling still good. The truth is the ride and handling is not good at all, the sampan feeling can feel as slow as 30km/h while passing uneven road.

It is comfortable, but not solid. Btw the power is really good, even in high speed pick up is impressive. Only thing I don't like the X50 is too soft suspension setup.
