He thinks China Adas is top of the market. hahahaha, the Adas only work once in a blue moon. So no Adas means S70 not complete? i don't think so. Half the time, you expect Adas to work in X70 it doesn't. Also another shitty naming convention by Proton is why the hell they named the car S70? S70 and X70 sounds so similar. Why their naming convention so near one?

He expect Smart Car and S70 to have similar features? Different P1 companies lah bro. You think P1 well known for cross company culture teamwork? hahahaha dream on la. P1 not well known for co talking to each other. Within the co, the departments all work in silo one la. Go read the glassdoor.

I agree its a rebadge car, but no its not 95% china car. Where this info from his ass ah? P1 has to source most of their suppliers here. Whether from local vendors or MNC located here. Otherwise, its a CBU. But yes, the parts design are all from China.

Another complain that he did not cover, why S70, still using 3 cylinder engines !!!!!!

https://global.geely.com/

Echoing his comments, that S70 may bring fresh start for P1 to sell anything else besides SUV. I have news for him. I checked the Geely website, I did not see any other models that are sedan aside Emgrand. Their models are all SUV !!!!!!!

Older models like MPV Jiaji, for some unknown reason I think Geely has discontinued.

So unfortunately, P1 is gonna remain a SUV selling co.

P2 laugh all the way to the bank with no major competitors for non SUV models. Of course, P1 still has Persona and Saga but they are like frozen in development.

Exora is still lacking development.

Geely for some unknown reason is not bothered to assist P1 to improve on Saga and Exora, even though they have the expertise. Just the same as they still give P1 3 cylinder engines instead of the 4 cylinder ones.

Exora should be replaced by Jiaji, however don't expect to be cheap like Exora, same price as Boyue or X70.

Geely has zero interest in developing below 60k cars. They don't have platform OR cheap cars for Proton to rebadge into new Saga.

This one nvm provided they give Proton RnD money to make new Saga, Persona and Exora. But nope, nothing at all. In few years Saga will be very obsolete, the platform around since 2005 Savvy. I don't know what will happen, maybe Malaysia will lose Proton Saga which is quite sad for me personally.

I don;t even see Jiaji in Geely's website anymore.

Nowadays besides emgrand, geely only sells SUV

fyi S70 parts mostly CKD and assemble here. Then they delcare it as local supply.

Saga will get refresh in 2026, new engine, new platform. Design will be by local. Exora no more, already discontinue. Next in line will be Iriz and Persona, both before 2025. X70 will get refresh next year with new IP. X50 the year after.

I know because I'm ex-staff.
