You said this before and it was so true. I have an x70 and have an itch to upgrade, but its so hard to find something which is an upgrade in most aspects which is isn't breaching way over 300K. My x70 is a third car only used for long distance, and just finding it very difficult to justify an upgrade to a harrier/lexus/Range type vehicle with what the x70 offers for the price.
@@sentuhankecundang7351 Nope, I still owned the 2019 X70 CBU and loving it till now. Yes, a lot of comments on FB page but tbh just take really good care of it and the car will serve you well. I still do the traditional warm up every morning, light on the foot, and service when is due.
At the time of launch dash cams weren’t a big thing, I liked that the designers were thoughtful enough to allow a USB port near the rear view mirror. That was what differentiates people-oriented products.
This car would sell in Singapore. Hope to see Proton back in Singapore again. You can see many motorists in Singapore driving Made in China cars BYD and MG SUVs.
Hey Bobby, Im actually made an appointment to book an X70 Exec 2WD today and was scrolling through these past few days for owner reviews. This video however had put more confidence into me in making my decisions. Thanks Bobby!! ❤
Yes bro, good choice and you won't regret it. I still owned the 2019 X70. I have read the comments on the FB page but tbh so far my car no issues (touch wood). Just take really good care of it and the car will do the same in return. It's already 5 years and I am still loving it.
The conjoining lines at 17:17 is the moulding parting lines. The Chinese moulding technology has improved so much and surpassed many other nations thus they are able to do such a finishing. PS : I am from the moulding sector 😅
Bobby, it's really great 👍 for you to revisit the X70 after 5 yrs to check if it's still relevant vs today's landscape. In the end, you gave it another thumb's up. To answer your question.....if we could find another SUV matching it, at this price point. NO.....is the straight answer! The overall design looks dated now needs a new model soon, perhaps?
I own x70 since 2021. What can i say im happy with it. Of course this car is not perfect. But the money that i paid and the value that i got, it is worth. Im thinking to buy the new FL if one day i just want to let it go.
I love the car so much especially the NVH and suspension setup but the biggest deal breaker for me was the seats. I’m 174cm but couldn’t find a comfortable seating position and seems like I wasn’t the only one facing this problem.
I hate my porsche seats too ... but everyone around me praises them to no end, everyone love it except me .... im still struggling to find a seating position that wouldn't sore me
The 1.8 is gonna be discontinued soon actually... Been in few... Soft and refined... This is what actually consumers want.. Not big ass rims, stiff suspension and all that
I drive a Perodua Bezza in Singapore. I will change to the X70 without a blink of an eye, if Proton is back in Singapore. I am tempted to bring the car in myself. Great car for its price. You DON'T get such features in other cars at its price. Malaysians should be proud that Malaysia is producing great cars nowadays.
4 years of ownership and reaching 360k mileage, still going strong. Always thinking of upgrading, but to upgrade and finding worth for what I paid is very difficult. HAHAHAH! I can go to new harrier but the price is reaching 300k. Oh ya, the new X90 looks tempting for the specs. Also interested in the new Tiggo 8 Pro, but they're newly launched and still have doubt about it.
I dare say quite high. Ask around in the group they're mostly between 100-200k mileage. If u want comfort for fmly definitely x70, wait for upcoming facelift this year@@syahmiyusop
@@syahmiyusop well can't say it's normal since my x70 is my main workhorse north and back. Average user in the group I say hovering around 100k++ ish. But with proper maintenance and on time servicing, I avoid headache
Agak agak berbaloi tak kalau nak beli X70 secara terpakai? Sebab tengok harga dalam mudah.my rata-rata 60 ribu sampai 80 ribu macam tu. Atau lebih baik ambik kereta baru je?
Had an issue with the big blind spot around the wing mirrors. Cannot see the kerb when going around roundabouts. Only in x90 the mirrors have been repositioned to address this.
It isn't perfect (then again nothing is), but for the money I paid I'm certainly not complaining. Based on the experience I had so far with this car, I might be seriously tempted if they rebadge the Tugella esp if they keep the 2.0 turbo engine. Yum yum.
@@BobbyAngmalaysia if x70 is such a good car, they should increase production and sell to neighbouring countries. I think it can't be done because it is a geely model and proton might only authorise to sell x70 in Malaysia.
Yes it is higher against the most efficient ones but it's not crazy. Small engines when pushed hard will consume more fuel than big engines. But daily smooth driving small engines will use less than big engines.
Haven't been in the back seat much but it seems true because my family complained same thing before. Also the seats/car height is very high, so it's an issue for elders to get onto the car. Wouldn't recommend for people who wanna get it to fetch elders with mobility issue. All else is okay. Boot space feels limited (trade off for more leg space for back seat).
I Go To Suspension Specialist And Ask Them To Make The Suspension Less Stiff, Now My X70 Is Solid And No More Bumpy, If You Live At KL, You Can Go To Reiber Auto

if i may ask..any major problems on the x70??
Absolutely agree with you bro. I'm feeling the same too😊

Totally agree, This Is what My self facing too. Even im looking AT the New harrier
try X5 , i can promise you that car is a joy to ride

You'll NOT go wrong with the Executive variant, bro 👍. The 18" rim/tyre combo is most comfortable...trust me✅

wit for the facelift model x70 and x50 bro
Errrr x70 facelift coming soon. Better cancel your order. Your salesman also trying to deceive you by hiding the information
@@pingshien91 Done cancelling it last week and booked a X50 Flagship instead 😃
Agreed with you bro. At this price point, still relevant, comfort driving, powerful engine and 7DCT!!!

@@wolgerdoes it state anywhere?
This car NVH is miles better than my Honda Accord 2.4 made in Melaka.
if you have 'continental experience' , it's impossible to deny X70 is value for money in terms of handling, comfort and build quality.

Rented one and loved it! WIsh they’d come back to Singapore
I love the car so much especially the NVH and suspension setup but the biggest deal breaker for me was the seats. I’m 174cm but couldn’t find a comfortable seating position and seems like I wasn’t the only one facing this problem.
Not everyone suits every seat. Perhaps you can buy some recaros
Many W205 C Class owners also can't get comfy with their seats. My BMW as well, long distance it just couldn't.
Likewise. Same height 175cm. Hard to find a good position but the other aspects made up for it.

Hey Bobby, when will you review Proton S70 sedan on normal roads, not on the test track... Been waiting for it

Is it worth waiting for the new facelift version?
Suggest you wait as the current design appears dated
I downgrade from 530i m sport to premium x70 diring covid. Satisfied and luxurious. I have to get 500k+ SUVs to beat x70.
I heard Cherry will bring the Jaecoo J7 to Malaysia. Bobby, will u make a review of that car?
Agak agak berbaloi tak kalau nak beli X70 secara terpakai? Sebab tengok harga dalam mudah.my rata-rata 60 ribu sampai 80 ribu macam tu. Atau lebih baik ambik kereta baru je?
Most my X70 customers are satisfied and compliments till now 😅. Some even migrate from other renown brands to this model ..😊
nice review. curious, after 5 years, hows the maintenance and major issues? parts?
360k km owner here. No major issue, normal wear and tear. Minor one like headlamp drl burnt + jammed power boot, but easily fixed.
@@ashraffendy2010 wow
Hope it will serve many more miles to come. Based on the pricing + the specs and comfort, really hard to beat@@petemorbius3936
Really? 360k km? In how many years? Do u always speeding? @@ashraffendy2010
Had an issue with the big blind spot around the wing mirrors. Cannot see the kerb when going around roundabouts. Only in x90 the mirrors have been repositioned to address this.
How I wish proton put the very same seat into the X90. Yeah the seats are very plush in comparison to X90.
Best car of this segment and price point.
Dear Bobby, how is the sound system of the car? Was hoping you mentioned it.
Hi Bobby, would you prefer this 1.5l or the 1.8l engine?
1.5 TGDi ....worth it
Great perspective.. always looking forward with ur verdict..
Hey Bobby, great review!!! Looking forward to you doing a review on the S70 ☺️
It isn't perfect (then again nothing is), but for the money I paid I'm certainly not complaining. Based on the experience I had so far with this car, I might be seriously tempted if they rebadge the Tugella esp if they keep the 2.0 turbo engine. Yum yum.
very honest review to compare 5 years ago vs current situation & market
Once you driving x70 you will noticed this suv better than others.
Yes
And I thought all China SUVs are as good as X70. But apparently not
how is the DCT and vibration of the 3 cylinder engine
Hey bro, waiting on your comprehensive review of the proton s70 🤞✌️
No le, the vios now costs 100k OTR which is a joke lol
E spec is 89k, plus 5k rebate is around 84k
Better choose s70
Plus carryover old engine with detuned hp and torque for better FC. Not to mention skip spare tyre
Regarding wait time, you can blame their slow production.. imagine tesla product the model 3 and y same speed as x70...
Malaysia market small. Can't do mega assembly plant to amortise the only RHD in the world.
@@BobbyAngmalaysia if x70 is such a good car, they should increase production and sell to neighbouring countries. I think it can't be done because it is a geely model and proton might only authorise to sell x70 in Malaysia.
Bobby . How is the fuel consumption.... Some mentioned to me that it is quite high compare to similar capacity turbo enginr . Not sure true or not .
Yes it is higher against the most efficient ones but it's not crazy. Small engines when pushed hard will consume more fuel than big engines. But daily smooth driving small engines will use less than big engines.
every little detail was so immaculate
Chery Amoda 5?
Interesting and cool video Bobby, as most TH-camrs would only care to make content on newly-released vehicles.
at the back seat its hardly comfortable at all ... very jumpy ... just like the staria van ,,,, only from the front its more comfortable

suka bobby punye perspective. thanks !
No worries i hired you to run it
How about X90??
There is just malaysia is the second most expensive in the world for import cars 🎉🎉
Nope. We're cheaper than many countries now
Hai meh? But it's true Malaysia no 2 higher price before and no 1 is Singapore,right?
@@metitan1398The gap between Sg and My is too huge now.
Good car but too much credit given to Proton, geely is the pne that made ot possible. How hard it is to get geely car and slap it with proton logo.
I see them as one company like how a Perodua review I couldn't be bothered to mention toyota as I see them as one entity already
8:40 Sounds like what KIA Canada did.
waiting your x90 review…
X70 days are numbered.basi already
Hi Bobby can u review S70?
he did the video of s70. you may find them
Memang tak ada. X70 is really fast, nvh too good. Only handling not great, and infotainment screen useless
cheery tiggo 8 pro please
hello Bobby. cant wait to see you review the proton s70.
Now they are saying RV of this car😅
