New changes happen to Proton X70

In this article, we will discuss what changes happened to Proton X70 and make a review of the technical details of the X70. Now let's begin.

Proton X70 Interior

As the XC70 will be a CBU, it will carry most of the features and options of Malaysian vehicles. As CBU will be made specifically for Pakistan, there are some differences in functionality, but it is expected that it will be the same as overseas models at the time of release. All three CBU variants of PK will use leather. There will even be a premium edition of Napa. Panoramic skylight will be available on top premium models.

The digital LCD instrument cluster will be standard for all trim. It also provides steering wheel control, push-button start light and welcome light, power folding rear-view mirror, day and night rear-view mirror. Power windows, power driver adjustable seat, ventilation. A dual zone climate control system with rear vents is also standard on all trim items, which also have air purification systems.

Proton X70 LCD and infotainment:

Mobile phone streaming music connection standard. Infotainment system is GKUI, which is an intelligent speech recognition system. You can order vehicles to perform certain functions. Such as changing climate control settings.

It will be a 4G WIFI enabled system with GSM SIM card slot and some online functions can be integrated into the car. Proton link applications can be used to remotely control special functions of the vehicle. There will be eight speakers, standard and premium models will have eight as well, but with amplifiers and subwoofers.

It's a standard 5-seater car, with no extra 2 seat options, making it a 7. However, the second-row seats can be folded up for greater cargo capacity. The electric tailgate will provide all expected base models and foot sensors in the advanced model.

Again, all of this is on CBU, and what we get is releases and introductions. Hopefully we'll see all of these features when Hadji assembles them locally.

Proton X70 external:

The basic model has halogen headlights and daytime running lights, while the upper trim will get led, which will be adaptive headlamp auto dip and high function. The car is based on the Geely Boyua, but in order to give it a proton face, there is a different grille at the front called the "infinite woven grille.".

It was inspired by Malaysia's famous traditional wood products and carvings. The LED tail lights and two exhaust nozzles pass through the rear bumper. Standard wiper for rear windshield and spoiler with brake lights. Roof rails shall be standard.

Safety of Proton X70:

When it comes to safety, the X70 will be the champion. All trim features six airbags as standard. ABS, automatic brake hold, brake assist, ramp assist, EBD, traction control will be standard. TPMS / tire pressure monitoring system will also be provided.

The premium models will also have "ADA", an advanced driver assistance system and a set of active safety features. It will be the first time that a company has offered such a new model. It will include lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, automatic high beam and automatic braking.

The basic model will be equipped with a normal reversing camera, but the advanced model will be equipped with a 360-view camera system. The proton X70 is a five-star car tested by Asia's NCAP.

We can say that in one test, the X70 will be a much safer car compared to the locally assembled Sportage and Tucson, but again, the X70 was CBU at the time of release; when CKD starts mass production locally, we will know the true meaning of this topic. Time will tell us whether Hajj will keep all these features and equipment in locally assembled vehicles, or cut costs to compete with competitors on price.

Proton X70 Pricing

The 1.5T engine is the first indicator of Proton's price competitiveness, at least at the time of its introduction to CBU. The X70 will provide functionality that competitors lack in this area. I think the price of proton will be between 5 million and 6 million, or higher.

The premium X70 may be more expensive than Kia's Sportage AWD, but it comes with some exclusive features. Yes, Sportage is recognized worldwide and is sold in many markets compared to the X70. But remember, the X70 is Geely's Party emblem car.

It has an engine and the transmission was developed jointly with Volvo, which is currently in use. The X70 has broken all sales records in the Malaysian market, making it difficult for proton to complete orders. I think it will be a good complement to the market and can give a tough time to campaign with Tucson or the upcoming mg HS.
