To say the <\/span>Proton X70<\/span><\/a> was a paradigm shift, not just in <\/span>Proton\u2019s line-up<\/span><\/a>, but in the way it operated moving forward, would be an understatement. In an age of <\/span>SUVs<\/span><\/a> ruling the roost, the carmaker\u2019s first offering in that segment had to appease all stakeholders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, it was born from a heavy synergy with partner Geely, being based on the Chinese automotive heavyweight\u2019s Boyue SUV.

To simplify the X70\u2019s lifecycle in Malaysia, it can be split into two major updates thus far; the first was during the switch from fully-imported CBU (Complete Built-Up) to locally-assembled CKD (Complete Knocked Down) models that saw the introduction of an all-new, Geely-developed seven-speed DCT transmission. Then, earlier this year it adopted the X50\u2019s 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine for all variants save the flagship trim, which maintains the 1.8-liter engine.<\/span><\/p>\n
