Proton X70

[vr2turbo]

from outside it does looks like just around the size of range rover evoque....


but inside cabin is quite comfy and not too cramped...


rear seat legroom and boot space is definately bigger than mazda cx5

So considered B or C segment?

 

[ixeo]

Where can one go for a test drive of the X70?

I saw Proton COE put a big ass words: X70 on a banner that says open 7 days a week. You can go today.

Apparently the first batch of x70s are CBU. Like the Inspira. They haven't started rolling out the x70 locally yet?

Still CBU higher tax bracket over CKD......

The car is overpriced if you look at domestic China price. There’s a healthy profit margin for both Geely and Proton.

That one cannot as there is only 'one' Geely/Proton X 70 in Malaysia. Nothing to compare it with.

If sell cheaper then we cam report...but who dare to report is another issue...hihihi

hence the final price slightly higher than earlier rumoured price

[stupidcar]

That was what I was about to comment also.......lol

 

[parakey]

Was wondering why they have to make them so tough? Was it to pass crash testing?

Maybe. What I know is to prevent door sagging only. My Persona door sag already haha

Perhaps it prevent doors from getting detached in the event of an accident

Or, they want a super solid connection with the side impact bars in the door. Helps in side crash.
