I dun understand geely's logic.

maybe it was too late for X70

but for x50 and x90 and s70, geely should have brought in their 4 pot technology, but stood for the 3 pot ones instead for Proton's Tg Malim CKD line.

It just goes to show how selfish they are, just want to push the old stock parts to clear off at proton first.

this is what arrogance begets. They thought they could dominate msia market, they didn't think that PMX would have allowed so many China OEMs to come here.

Maybe someone boast 3 pot can save fuel, but not make a difference for X70 pun.

Some more, 3 cylinder, 2 go up 1 go down...puts unnecessary strain on the toot toot, don't want to say lah.

Lets take the technical pro-con of 3 pot vs 4 pot out of the equation.

Its all about biz & money.

At that time (2019/20) the 3 pot was the most hyped (Volvo was also using) & P1 took this as the one engine to rule them all. Using 1 prime engine makes biz sense. From TGDI to NA, lots of common parts. Reducing cost. Bear in mind, biggest cost in car manufacturing is drive train (engine + g.box).

Mana tau, 3 cyl not popular in CN. But in west, 3 cyl rather acceptable.

So P1 already invested so much, got to continue use lah.

As for the vibration, timing belt, faster engine mounting wear .... we Msian are a bunch of complainers, jaguh kampung who are followers, bending with the wind. In short, nothing will please us. We want cheap cheap, good good, last forever barang. Nothing will fully satisfy our big ego, small pocket.

Sorry for the rant. Anyways, Proton is now stuck with this 3 pot. IMO, the only way to save it is to go hybrid (like X90) as there is now a gap between ICE & EV. Not everyone can go EV & hybrid is the mid point. That's the only way to save this investment.

3 pot is really for fuel saving bro.
x70 because the freaking car is big and heavy.

s70 x50 fuel consumption seems not that bad like x70

Cherry Omoda how?

cannot fight?

Wait for BYD sealion 6 PHEV. Looking at the prices in our neighbouring countries, it will destroy the rest of the chinese cars here.

Pretty much gave up dy, the reputation absolutely thrashed, no point salvaging further.

They’re trying to push for Jaecoo J5 instead, hopefully ppl won’t link it to Wumaoda5.

On a serious note, one of mah ex-colleague got Wumaoda5 and after sat in it, it’s a car I won’t even consider be it how much specs it offer or how cheap it is selling at. The front passenger seat is so damn sempit. On top of that the CVT whine when picking up, super scary.

My household own few Japanese car from Toyota to Subaru. Most over 10 years of ownership, even tho cheap plastic but never really broken or brittle within even 15 years. FYI, most my rides all park under the sun.

Try ask X70 how many plastic door handle already broken? Some will claim it is design issue, here n that but in reality a lot cheap/lower range cars the plastics are not design to last long. This is what ex-cherry owners fear as i personally knew 1 after 5 years door panel, handle and a lot of plastic parts can break anytime until he give up and sold it with superglue fix. 

Do you mean setup another assembly line for the 4 pot engine and pay additional royalties  to Geely for the 4 pot engine?
You think bring in new engine is free?

not to mentioned axia like handling

no joke bro

ccp car...soulless. all pretty bling bling from the outside, inside so hollow 0 soul
