Saw 1 in Melaka yesterday, the dark brown rusty colour. It command 'presence' on the road...really stood out.Looks very promising. Especially the GKUI.
But the latest Geely Boyue facelift looks way nicer than the X70.
Man, considering 10 years back I was laughing at the crap cars from China, now we are looking at the X70 and going, wow.
Actually the Chinese won't skimp on quality over quantity. The way Chinese works is very simple.I will wait to see if nepotism still lingers in Proton or will Chinese bad habits take over and skimp on quality over quantity or will these Protons actually be good.
Which category is this product then?If its a cheap product, you get cheap quality.
If its an average priced product, you get good to average quality -- because of competition
If its a luxury product you get a gold plated bling bling rich man look with good quality.
Average. China got some really cheap cars and i'm too lazy to look them up. Geely is not cheap.Which category is this product then?
I had to re-read this twice.Just when i tot they cut corners at the door card top portion by using hard plastic, the car slap me in the face...its soft material.
Now all CBU, wonder later how are the CKD versions?Just got back from Bachang showroom to see the car.
This thing is put together superbly well. The interior, exterior...everything is well assembled. The feel of everything does not show its origin which is China. Everything is German-like.
The aircond vent slider slides with a premium feel, the switches..all the switches felt like it comes off a German vehicle. Even the doors open and closes like a German car.

To me the one to get is the premium 2wd version.
My own choice will be 2wd premium version minus the sunroof.Proton should come out with this version.
Hopefully its the same as they are no longer 'Proton' buy Geely.Now all CBU, wonder later how are the CKD versions?
My choice will be the cheapest model. Cause you get a lot of car for the price. For the same price, compared with HR-V, the X70 is a win. At the premium 2WD pricing, you have other choices already. Like the Mazda CX-5. Of course you get more kit and features with the X70, but a Mazda is a Mazda is a zoom-zoom.Just got back from Bachang showroom to see the car.

Then it's a con job. CKD drastically reduce the taxation on the car, by right price should come down. Even German marques, when CKD the price goes down. Throw in EEV it goes down further.Hopefully its the same as they are no longer 'Proton' buy Geely.
I did ask the sale guy and he mentioned price could be the same as CBU. Could be some truth behind it as now price for Sabah n Sarawak is the same.
