Since geely took over, proton has been advancing in the automotive industry. Kudos proton and Geely... bring back the good old days of Proton especially the GTi and V6s.
Thank You DATUK SERI NAJIB for doing this. Despite the nay sayyer lambasting his action in doing so, he managed to made the right decision and upbrings Proton to its fullest. Hopefully his contribution will be remembered by fellow citizens, and Proton success not be wrongfully attributed to the other Prime Minister.... Hehe *grabbing popcorn🍿y'all, shows gonna start soon"
As u mentioned, "good old days", they r only good for those old days (Gti n V6), now v r talking abt small engines n turbo charged. Put them behind n look fwd for better engines.
I just wish Proton use Volvo V40 platform to update their Suprima S just imagine that Suprima is a very underated car
@@amerasyraf9241 Better change engine performance,increase engine reliability,and don't forget,put zf gearbox 7spd/8 spd dct to replace CVT,because CVT has common problems.About the price,yup its gone be expansive.I hope proton will make it happen or just an empty tin milo.
@@samfonder7044 wheres the show? I waited for 9 month already. LOL
I drive x70 for more than a year with no single mechanical glitch.
My wife can't wait for X50 after about a year.
how about maintenance cost? is it ok?
^ pls reply
2 SUVs in the same family?
I am from Pakistan 🇵🇰 and waiting for this car 🚗 in 2021 in Pakistan. Will buy this car.I Love this car ❤️❤️❤️
If there's one thing i like about this review is your honesty Hafriz. No sugarcoating and straight up truth. This is how i know how well this car will do. Great car. Better review
Still a very beautiful looking SUV . Proud local car ❤
Meme cantik...saya pun tgok byk video kereta sedan, suv & mpv dr japan, korea, local...mmg sy paling trtarik kpd Proton X70 CKD ini...PADUUU !!!
Just want to comment you on a great job done on this car review.
Your presentation skills has improved leaps and bounds compared to your first videos. SO smooth and easy to listen to.
You are probably now one of the best car reviewers in Malaysia (if not The Best) in my books.
Keep up the good work. Less crap talk and focus on the relevant content. That’s why I watch you. LOL.
To be honest, I can't wait for the X50..
Me too can't wait for X50 as it's more cute and with smaller sized
ya, its up next for proton
definitely worth to buy if x50 priced below rm80k-rm90k for sport variant. Then I realize we got our gov.. they will slap up the pricing; boyue price is rm56k-71k in china(correct me if I'm wrong) and in malaysia ckd rm95k? Alasan design/operational cost dgn tax lagi.. Byk betul atuk tapau =_=, kereta "proton" xkn la ada lagi import tax, excise duty
@@vostrode701 its not fair to compare with China market their market are way bigger & sebb tu diaorg boleh jual kereta dgn murah sebb diaorg cover back dgn volume, Malaysia is a smaller market maybe Proton can lower down the price if they export more to oversea market then baru kt hometown boleh turun harga
why fork more money for hrv or chr when u can save money for x50 with mods
You all tak habis risau pasal gb. Org yg guna dct je tahu ok ke tak. My experience 8 tahun guna kereta dct ni cuma clutch je kena tukar sbb wear and tear. Gb tak pernah problem pun. Car with turbo better guna dct baru sedap pemanduan

Great review! Thanks Hafriz. I like watching ur review!
Perfect car with the perfect price, CKD or not ! Proud of it with a new Volvo WET gearbox.
Go Proton !
Hafriz punya vocab & pronoun dah cam mat saleh.. Terbaik bro..
scorpioholmes hahaha terima kasih!
Another great video hosted by my favourite Hafriz. Wanna ask, is it still the same adaptive cruise control as the old one? Or do we now have the intelligent cruise control, similar to the CRV?
Boon Heng Ong thanks! It's the same Adaptive Cruise Control as before, working between 30 to 180 km/h - works well enough. No Active Lane Keep Assist or Low Speed Follow like in the CR-V.
I've watched so many review videos for the X70 which most of the content is the same... Finally i found this that has pointers that we would like to hear about... the driving experience and comparisons with vehicles of the same class....
after 2 weeks of CKD X70 driving, including long distance on highway. For such a price and being a SUV, its ride and handling surprisingly good. NVH better than I expected. However, UI for info cluster, can be improved. The sound quality of the sound system, despite of having a subwoofer, it sounds very thin. Low frequency is either not there or increase just low level noise when increase the bass (it is written 'base' in the info cluster).
This X70 looks much nicer and more expensive than a Volvo XC90 IMHO from exterior look at least. Good luck Proton and am looking forward to your future sedans!
The seats itself separate the XC90 from the x70 far far away
Very bold statement but have to disagree on my part. The xc90 looks far better than the X70.
Ask anyone and put the cars side by side.
Also completely different segment
It does not turn heads like the Xc90
An excellent review as always by Hafiz.
Is it me or does the Nappa leather on the CKD models spot a lighter tone? I personally think the CBU units had a more premium looking tone. This one looks a bit dull.
Thanks buddy! Yeah, I prefer the look of the CBU's leather too, though I think it's the CBU that looks a little brighter. But anyway that's a matter of personal taste.
Absolutely brilliant and impressive product from Proton. I might even plan to switch my car to this Proton X79. However, I really wish they maintain the original Proton Logo. That's really something we should maintain!... and if possible to change the font of display to more exclusive look... rather than little funky looking font?
Dear brother Hafriz, can I get some advice? In my place, people are much used to reconditioned Toyotas. They usually require very little time at the garage. Is the X70 a good choice if that is an issue? Dad kinda uses cars quite rough though...
My current Mazda 6 oredi clocked total mileage 350,000km ..the gearbox still as steady as before.
Good to know that. Interval transmission oil change 60k km?
Hi, may I know the soundproof is it good? During city and highway drive?
Beautiful smooth and a complete review....well done sir...
good & informative review from a 1st edition owner.
Mohd Akhbar Jamaludin thank you 🙏
Very good review, especially the last part on comparison with other car models. Thanks
1) China's roads even in rural areas are in much better shape than Malaysian's
2) Fuel in China costs about 3x more than ours, hence the lighter foot
3) Speed traps are abundant in China, although they have a 120km/h speed limit on a road that is empty most of the time; drivers tend to obey to the speed limit as demerit points could be awarded if violated. Hence, once again lighter foot.
After 12 years of hardwork since VW introduced the dry-clutch (DQ200) back in 2007, I hope Geely really got it..
People keep commenting about the logo, sure the old logo suits more for' MALAYSIA', but this new logo suits more for international and its universal making. Btw, if you dont like the new logo, you can go change it at the car shop
"since when did made in China sounds better than made in Malaysia ?" ... love it.
So 1 year has passed since this. When will be the launch of 1.5 litre 3 cylinder and what are your thoughts?
Great video btw!
I got a question would u advice me to go for cx5 or x70? Hmm, for example driving pleasure as a reference?
Guan Zhen Lai if your main criteria is driving pleasure, then it has to be the CX-5, or the CX-30 if you don't mind the small interior.
Overall though, comfort and value all included, I'd still go with the X70
What do you guys mean by driving pleasure?
Patiently waiting for my x70 😎
Good review Hafiz. Good command and pronouncation in English. Way better than those Malaysian Chinese guy. Kudos.
Still prefer shield Proton logo.
Yes 💯
can change at local accessories shop hahah
The shield one doesn't last long
One of the aspect i know is that the interior isn't stain proof. It should have some kind of coat to keep or to minimize dirt or stain.
Value for money. That's how to describe this lovely X70.
Its only value for money when the gov imposed much higher tariff for other makers.
Such a level playfield, my foot.
When they say testing the car in Malaysia, they mean Malaya right? I'd like to know how that car fares driving through Sabah and Sarawak.
In city I doubt any problem...cross division travel guarantee GG...😬😬😬
I drive a 2014 Focus, should I get this car? I have a baby coming soon...is it suitable?
Yes
Very nice review, unbiased comment, appreciate the details like the DCT behaviour and comparison, hope can see similar review for X50 soon, also how it compare back against X70, kudo
if they change the look it would have affect CBU resale value, nothing wrong with remaining the same interior
After check the proton x70 ckd premium version, nappa leather is not as good as cbu. Smell different, Feel different. Any idea?
As per what Hafriz said, only the color slightly different..the quality remain similar ...
the logo looks like someone squeezes the tiger balls and in pain
bahahaha
Heh, it's a female tiger lah!
Universal logo
Your imagination is out of this world hahahaha, perv
Ha ha ha
Is the sound system the same? How's the sound system quality?
alfaromeo488 yeah same sound system as before, a 9-speaker Kenwood set up with a subwoofer. Sound quality is just ok, not outstanding. Within the class, better than what the CR-V offers, but not as good as the CX-5 in my opinion
The surprising thing obviously refers to the DCT, obviously.
Actually using hi proton to perform operations reduce the wear of switches. :D
so..., feeling dissappointed after buying cbu version ? this x70 need to use ron97 petrol?
last time one reader wanna debate with me when i said ckd x70 comes with dct. he said he knows better.. eat your words Mr! u know who u are! (Lim Wiching)
Haha
Recently launched in Pakistan.
Anyone could confirm how is the quality of this car as compared to Kia Sportage & Hyundai Tucson ?
the new dct is reliable?
which volvo model is using this 7-dct? i see all current volvo using Aisin 8AT
Jack N the certain Volvo XC40 variants use this 7DCT gearbox, but none are available here in Malaysia as of yet.
I tried the XC40 T3 with the new 1.5L 3 cylinder Drive-E engine in Sweden. It's extremely rough and sounds like an economy diesel car. 😕
Just bought xc90. And this video pop out.
the X50 is up next!!
did anyone notice the executive variant got the 360 view camera? Awesome!
All variant has it as i know since CBU version
@@srisarvinnair5552 Standard variant only have reverse camera, no 360.
Great review Hafriz. I would like to buy a new car but in dilemma now. Crv or x70?
If you were to get Honda better get Mazda CX 5 or X70..Honda totally crap
Personally I'd go for the X70 based on its refinement and price. But if outright space is more important to you, then the CR-V is a good buy too.
@@brandonwoo8299 crap😱 means?
@@hafrizshah4937 thanks bro!
@@AdamIzwadi Honda is having build quality issues, especially CKD models like the Civic and CRV.
Thunder.... thunder......THUNDER cats!!!!!!
And the X70 pops out....
15:00 back there ah boooooring but comfortable ZZzzzzz
Great review Hafriz
zack zig 👍👍👍
Why nobody questions the manual mode of the shifter is toward the wrong side (away from the driver)?
Standard version cbu langkawi price 85k, now ckd langkawi price 88k. Pandai proton.
X70 vs HRV. Which has better sound insulation at highway speeds?
No contest dude.. X70 is by far margin the quietest in its C segment let alone to be compared with B segment car like hrv....and even worse hrv and crv well known for having noiser cabin compared ti its respective segment.. Try it for yourself.. I tested ckd x70 last month just to feel how dct works.. Surprisingly the cabin is quiter than its cbu counterpart.. I couldnt hear any tyre noise at 100km at good road
Thank u sir , guess its time to upgrade my C70 ...
C to X.... C is a lagend 50 cent 💪💪💪
Lawak bro ....gj
Booked!!😍
Watching this at 1.25x speed. Too bad that full proton handling isnt there. But at least it has better tuning and comfort. Can't wait for x50
Change the HU to Android Auto/Apple Carplay would be perfect
This is an absolute winner!
Nice got 2 cup holder at engine can warm your coffee
Edmund Chin best comment
If it looks a like geely boyue pro phev, i will definitely buy it.
Even if it was priced at RM160k to compete head-on with the likes of the CRV & CX-5, it would still put up a hell of a fight due to the features and refinement you're getting. At the actual price of RM120k however, the only question left to be asked is... are those plastic shiny badges on the grille and steering wheel really worth paying RM40k more for?
To some, yes it's worthwhile shelling out an extra 1/3 of the price of the X70 just to get a different badge and the elevated feeling of pride from having paid more. Me... naaahh....
Is it a 2WD OR 4WD?
Masih gundah gulana, sama ada ambil x50 premium/exec , atau x70 standard.. any advice sir?
Ada bajet ambik flagship terus lah
Is it wise to trade in my 2018 crv 2wd premium for this X70 premium x?
You have to test drive it first.Handling might not be good as CRVs but everything else outclass the Honda.(except for fuel consumption and looks i guess.)
But, since this car is still new in the market, can't say anything how it gonna burn our wallet on the long run.
Personally though, (as a person who always do long distance driving) cabin noise and comfort, do come first before handling. It is not that we gonna do uphill/downhill on Karak everyday :)
So I would say, go for it.
iDenden yes, i have test driven it and i’m amazed on the smoothness of the gear and of course, the fit and finish. It feels like an upgrade instead when i step into the x70
Sword of omen give me sight beyond sight
Thunder, thunder, thundercats
Can the boot fit a bicycle (adult size)? Any owners out there?
Is the signal stick located on the left side of the steering?
Previous logo was sharp and smart ✨💯
I still feel the front looks from old school design except the grill merc inspired even subaru follows that too, as you said the infotainement hmm, better change it and would prefer to have virtual cockpit like peugeot 3008
great review but you guys really need to change that out of tune intro/background sound lol
Quality stuff. Thanks guys!
BEA57KL great!
300NM torque ?? sounds good 😙😙
I sendiri prefer AWD dari FWD. X70 2020 a bit disappointed sebab tak ada AWD.
Yer bro..tak boleh bawak gi pantai...nanti sangkut dlm pasir..sy pun lebih suka AWD..sbb selalu jelajah pantai2..
From upfront the x70 looks THICC
What's the overall weight improvement?
LEE KUAN VUN @ ALBERT lighter by 20 to 25 kg overall
Yeay another vid with hafriz comel in it. 👍👍
Omggg.. we have the same thought. Pretty disappointed with the styling changes hahaa
No more... haaa PROTON haaa...aiyaaa std maaa....now is more to WOW...good transformation and proud with my proton.
this one looks like a thunderbolt right,I prefer the previous one
jz wondering if any diesel version planned?
AWD tak laku jadi proton tak buat, kalau diesel lagi la proton tak buat
Looks a bit too upright for me. Just add low bigger profile tires, add adjustable absorbers, and better and bigger sport rims and the deal is done...:)
Just wondering in the last 1 year, why not just CKD the newer Boyue Pro rather than older Boyue? Or offer it as top range spec.
Geely considers the Boyue Pro as a different Boyue altogether. It has a different gearbox, different engine tune, slightly re-styled exterior, and a completely different interior. The Boyue Pro would likely be assembled in a dedicated branch of production line. The Pro is so different than regular Boyue that it could be appreciated. Having the Pro CKDed into just the top 2 or 3 variant is like mocking the Chinese market. We already took the 'Pro' gearbox and engine for every X70 variant. If we get the interior as well even in the Executive, what does that make the Boyue Pro version?
Limiting the "Pro" to just the top spec wouldn't be better. It would hike up the pricing that it may hurt the demand (and we have a much smaller market than China). Just looking at the Boyue Pro interior, you would know that it would require different wiring and assembly methods. This would then make the production line inefficient mixing up assembly of different interiors in one assembly line. They would have to have a different branch in the line to assemble the Pro interior. But, if the demand is poor it would be a waste of money.
The last nail in the coffin for that idea is that the tooling for the right-hand version of the current interior is already well developed (for good fit and finish). The R&D to create right-hand version of the Pro interior would delay launch and requires more cost. Afterwards they now have to produce 2 different dashboard versions.
I always went to this channel to learn english
Will there be sedan version 1.8 tgdi?
Drag race new vs old X70
China engine and technology, I am so proud of buatan Malaysia.
Great reviewer
Bryan Cheah 👍
Berapa kos servis x70 pertama kali?
Is there any way one can retrofit apple car play ?
Faris Ariffin unfortunately no
Stop Hammering the company at least they have built something new and trying to improve, its miles ahead of the CKD units being produced here in Pakistan, proton please bring this car here in Pakistan so our local pakistan manufacturers can learn something how a car is built....lovely car and the host is just nit picking and nagging honestly
Yar I am also w8ing
kb gari launch o gi
Sorry if you feel that way. Overall I do like the car, which is clear near the end of the video
Have to up the playback speed to 1.5x to feel normal 😂
emblem tu mcm thunder cat cartoon zaman kanak kanak saya dulu dulu hahahahahahah
Great car...nice review
