Thanks KS!! It seems to be a trend because even Honda Malaysia only offers AWD in the CRV variant that's one level below the top of the line 😊 Thanks for watching and the comment!!🙏🏽👍🏾
That place looks spooky to me. Hey have you watched the movie 'Wrong turn'? Your balls are made of ball bearings ah bro?! You are likely come face to 'face' with a freaking pontianak too! Come on la the jungle is their holiday resort and you are trespassing. If you rewind this video and watch carefully at a slower speed you can surely see them lurking behind the trees or bushes. You are nuts la. Even if did that spontaneously, next time find a friend who is spontaneous too and has balls of steel like you before driving into that scary as hell jungle. Cheers and 'pleasant' driving.
True, very true. But I needed to know for myself too. See the stream at around the 5min mark? I wasthisclose to crossing it, then realised I didn't have a winch, just in case, so discretion was indeed the better part of valour in this instance 🤭 Thanks for watching and the feedback!!🙏🏽👍🏾😊
In Borneo we would call that off-the-road, instead of serious off-road. I've made thru this kind of track while visiting kampung orchard with an Axia. Of course it was dry season. Nice video btw.
Hahaha! What I actually meant was more serious off-road than the previous video, which was on a laterite road. This is still very much a soft-roader, not a hard-core 4x4. Thanks for watching and the feedback 🙏🏽😊
Thank you Savin!! Spur of the moment thing, I've actually done this terrain in a Volvo XC70 Cross Country many, many years ago when that car was new 😁 Granted, the area has gotten much harsher over the years since then, haha!👍🏾😊
You come to borneo, these type of roads are used as regular commutes by the locals doing their daily work and chores. But its nice to know that we could see the x70 driven on such terrains, still due to several road conditions, a 4x4 would be a far more logical choice.
Yup for the interiors of Sabah and Sarawak, a 4x4 makes for a better proposition, and this X70 is still just a "soft-roader", geared more for the urban jungle. Thanks for watching and the comment 👍🏾😊🙏🏽
Oh Dear, Chris, you must be Crazy!! going in alone!!!! Next time make sure with someone else..... at least.......Take Care and Thank you for the Review of Exe model of X70
I'm looking for an executive car that can climb unpaved hill roads (off-road) like this with reasonable price and yeah I found this video which is very useful great review honestly superb. Feel smooth like you drive triton, hilux, xtrail or fortuner which hrv or myvi can't 😂 TQVM for your big effort in this X70 review 👍👍👍
Wah saya sangat tertarik dengan x70,ianya sangat sesuai bukan sahaja dibandar tetapi juga untuk masuk ke desa2 dan sudah tentu bersdia dengan jalan yang teruk. Tapi apa kan daya,saya tak mampu memilikinya. Harga nya sangat mahal bagi saya yang hnya kerja sebagai kuli sahaja.😭😭😭
Terima kasih bro, sbb sudi komen pada video saya!🙏🏽😊 Perlahan-lahan lah, jimat sikit sini-sana, mana tau, mgkn jgk blh dapatkan satu unit pada masa akan datang. All the best, good luck!!👍🏾😀
I am more interested how bright the headlights were! It’s really clear eventhough it’s day bright. Well, it’s called LED for a reason. Good job. Starting to like your car review! Keep up the good work Chris!
Shall I suggest you to test it on the slippery compound instead of the difficult road. The compound you had went through doesn't seem much challenge to a 4 wheeler. On slippery road will be able to see better how well the AWD system works with all its 4 wheel. This is not the kind of car that built for rough road.
Actually this test was just to see how far I could push the AWD in an off-road situation, for a very good narrative on the benefits of it on the road, check out what Bobby Ang says about it in the "3 Men in X70" video 😊
dont say that to myvi, myvi can do short turn and very power in climbing off road, body weight vs Tyre attraction ratios good balance, hope u can test myvi for this kind off road too. hihihi
Good guess, but this was far from where Mimaland used to be. It's an abandoned housing project, maybe... Thanks for watching and the feedback!!🙏🏽😊 PS: Hello, I used to go to Mimaland frequently when it was around, I learned to ride a motorbike around that park, hahaha!!😁
True......I've done more challenging terrain with a 15 year old Kembara than this. Its smaller and more agile for narrow paths. This is no "serious off road" ... maybe "fun off road" at best
Sir, i suggest you and other motorist from other automotive channel to bring and test the x70 run on a fully mud terrain in Gemas Army Camp where the Main Battle Tank/MBT (PT-91M or Pendekar) and other military vehicle play around. You can write a letter to the Mindef HQ for approval to enter the camp and use the track for testing the X70 capability. Maybe you can bring other SUV together to test and make a comparison video as well. Then we consumer will know which SUV really worth for money.
Great idea, however unlike other countries, the greater majority of Malaysians really don't use their SUV for anything harsher than an unpaved parking lot. The point of this these was just to show that the X70 AWD can tackle this kind of terrain if owners want it to, that's all. Thanks for watching and the suggestion though 👍🏾😊
@@ChrisWeevilGarage I see. But thanks for the awesome offroad test videos anyway. I did check Proton website and the AWD is still being listed. But price only RM2k cheaper than Ranger XL la pulak
No doubt even a Kancil might be able to as well, but how long would cars like that last on terrain like this before getting badly damaged? They're not made for terrain like this, and for all intents and purposes neither is this X70. The point of this video is just to show that X70 AWD owners can, if they so desired, which I'm quite sure they won't. It's an urban jungle SUV 😊 Thanks for watching and the comment!!👍🏾🙏🏽😊
Hahaha!! Just wanted to see how far I could push the X70, this was in part to satisfy my own curiosity too, but I'm glad it turned out well, thanks for watching!!🙏🏽😊
try test out simultaneously your AWD and 2WD X70,bring along a backup 4X4 with a winch ,just in case... btw,I saw the" 2WD" motorcyclist in the video doing well too😉
That 1WD 2-wheeler is a Honda Cub, long been proven it can go anywhere and do anything, anytime, and still run perfectly with Cap Burung Helang cooking oil in its engine and kerosene in its tank.... hahaha!! Thanks for watching and the feedback, much appreciated Selva!! Stay tuned for more to come 👍🏾😊
I reckon as long as the water is below the air intake, it should still be okay, that's why proper hard-core 4x4s use snorkels, this X70 isn't one of those 😁 However, pls don't take my word for it!! Hahaha!! Thanks for watching and the feedback 👍🏾😊
Takut nak beli, pertama sebab nama dia.. cakap nama proton ja dah serabut kepala.. kedua after sales service macam parpu.. ketiga yang famous sekarang ni part tak ada, kena tunggu lama.. keempat aku memang pantang barangan china ni, kuat menipu low kualiti..
Hahaha!! In hindsight, yeah, maybe I shouldn't have gone in alone, hindsight is always 20/20.... hahaha!!😂 Thanks for watching Hasnol, great to meet u again that day!!🙏🏽😊
Yes, that grunting noise is the HDC system applying and releasing the brakes aided by ABS to each individual wheel that has more / less traction, it works very well on slippery off-road decents 😊
Haha! Nah this SUV is still very much a soft-roader bud, I just wanted to see how far it could go on highway terrain tyres, lol!!😄 Thanks for watching!!👍🏾😊
Hi Chris, thank you very much for this video. This was treacherous, if I may say. Appreciate your video and efforts immensely sir. And sir, I reckon you've proven everything and this car is obviously well built and equiped. Thank you again and please don't do this anymore. It's dangerous.
Aww, thanks TheGinger3!! I appreciate that 🙏🏽😊 Yeah, I just wanted to see for myself how far I could go, spur of the moment thing, next time I'll bring back-up, haha 😄
Honda Msia did the same with the new CRV as well, top spec only 2WD. It seems that typically those who buy the top spec are urbanites who only use their SUV for the city, whereas those who buy the AWD version actually are the types who visit construction sites, plantations, etc. where the AWD would come in handy... Don't worry, I've always found this reasoning odd too 😄
@@ChrisWeevilGarage Lamborghini would disagree with this though. haha. And yea, very odd indeed, I would have gone for the X70 if the premium had AWD, opted for a XV instead due to this.
The video should be shot from outside of the car to cover the exterior and show if AWD did get engage or otherwise. The way video is shot from inside doesnt give viewers a clear picture on the AWD capability of proton..
It might have been if I'd gotten stuck... ever seen The Hills Have Eyes or Wrong Turn? Yeah, definitely movies to watch before venturing into a place like this alone... Hahaha!!😂
Thanks cnn!! Yeah, this was a spur of the moment thing, I was already in it before I'd decided if it was a good idea or not 😄 Thanks for watching and the feedback!!🙏🏽😊
No, apparently it's an abandoned project called Genting Valley, the developer ran away. Its very old, been there since the 90s I think... Thanks for watching!!🙏🏽😊
Yes, even on the harsh and uneven surfaces, there were no rattles except from my stuff going all over the place 😂 Quite well put together this X70! Thanks for watching and the feedback 👍🏾😊
Hey thanks for watching and the comment too bud, yeah it's a very decent SUV, this unit was the earlier all-wheel drive variant though, not sure if the ones u get there will be AWD too 🙏🏽😊
@@ChrisWeevilGarage there are 2 variants introduced Executive awd And premium fwd I wanted a good family car for city and hilly driving Or light off-roading sometimes Perhaps I drive a Honda Brv and it felt quite underpowered but got the job done I’m quite excited about this car as I’m deciding to buy it awd
FaizKenzo mmg betul tu, terima kasih sbb sudi share pengalaman 🙏🏽😊 Buat masa skrg, terpaksa pakai apa2 yg sedia ada kat tangan I je, bajet kurang sikit, haha!! Xpe we do the best with what we have kan? 😁 Thanks for watching and the feedback bro, terbaik 🙏🏽👍🏾😊
@@muhammadshazriwan5664 exactly right bro, Proton never claimed this X70 as a off-road 4x4, ever. It's definitely just a soft-roader SUV geared more for town use, with the possible capability of tackling a light off-road trail at most. I just gila wanted to see how far in I could push it, hahaha!! Thanks for watching and the feedback, much appreciated 🙏🏽😊
Yup, it's the area around Hulu Tamu and Hulu Rening, Batang Kali 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 And yes, the abandoned development was called Genting Valley apparently, sad. Thanks for watching and the feedback!!🙏🏽😊
that hill descent control system is pretty useful for kimanis highway in Sabah. I used to go there once with my myvi and the descent experience was horrible. Shifted my gear to second (auto) for engine break plus heavy footbreak when downhill.
Actually this HDC system is only for off-road driving, since it's a very slow descent, crawling speed, that might be dangerous on a highway. Shifting to a lower gear for a highway descent is a good move tho, well done!!👍🏾😊 Thanks for watching and the feedback 🙏🏽✌🏾
Chris Wee Ah I see. X70 is a good car thou (cbd version), there is a youtube video about x70 climbing up the kimanis hill, the performance is very good. I am looking forward to x50 which is “binyue” in China, I hope it’s good as well.
Do u feel any difference when driving a 2WD and AWD SUV on the highway? Do let me know because I'm genuinely interested to know if owners of both can feel any discernible difference 😊 Thanks for watching and the feedback 👍🏾😃

Earlier during the initial X70 launch, there were AWD variants available, not anymore. Collectors item now 😊

Due to AWD transmission loss? Negligible 😉

come to Sarawak's rural area. you get the narrow roads either full of potholes, or next to cliff or just rocks or just earth road for the worst.
Should suit this X70 AWD quite well then 😂
Thanks for watching and the feedback!!🙏🏽😊
🙏🏽👍🏾😀
What I can't comprehend why the X70 top spec is a 2WD & not AWD?!
Honda Msia did the same with the new CRV as well, top spec only 2WD. It seems that typically those who buy the top spec are urbanites who only use their SUV for the city, whereas those who buy the AWD version actually are the types who visit construction sites, plantations, etc. where the AWD would come in handy...
Don't worry, I've always found this reasoning odd too 😄
@@ChrisWeevilGarage Lamborghini would disagree with this though. haha. And yea, very odd indeed, I would have gone for the X70 if the premium had AWD, opted for a XV instead due to this.
@@DanialAfiq it is odd, but I somewhat understand the reasoning behind it, kinda, sort of... Hahaha! Thanks for watching and the feedback 🙏🏽✌🏾😊
The video should be shot from outside of the car to cover the exterior and show if AWD did get engage or otherwise. The way video is shot from inside doesnt give viewers a clear picture on the AWD capability of proton..
True, but I was alone, so who's gonna drive while I shoot...local "residents"?👻😁
@@ChrisWeevilGarage hmm..may be take you can someone with you next time on those trails who can cover the tough spots while standing outside..👍
Woahhhhh. So brave of you to venture alone out there! Nice video man! Keep up the good job.
Thank you Ashraf!! Thanks for watching and the comment, much appreciated bro 🙏🏽👍🏾😊
3 minutes into the video I wonder if you would bring Perodua Aruz through this?
Let's find out!! Will and Perodua if they still have a demo unit 😄
Thanks for watching and the idea, nice one!!🙏🏽😊
This place looks like a good setting for a horror film
It might have been if I'd gotten stuck... ever seen The Hills Have Eyes or Wrong Turn? Yeah, definitely movies to watch before venturing into a place like this alone... Hahaha!!😂
@@ChrisWeevilGarage yes you are fucked so to speak.😄
@@madyemail7518 hahahahaha!! 😄
That’s not serious off-road, just call it normal off-road
Actually I meant more serious than my previous off-road video with the X70, but it's ok, thanks for watching and the feedback 👍🏾😊
I really love this video. It's a car review plus a bit of off-road adventure. But have someone with you next time Chris.
Thanks cnn!! Yeah, this was a spur of the moment thing, I was already in it before I'd decided if it was a good idea or not 😄
Thanks for watching and the feedback!!🙏🏽😊
VERY NICE LITTLE HOUSE DESIGN BTW. 1:33 MNT
Yes! I noticed it too, very cool!👍🏾😀
This video should have more the 63k views!
Lol! Thanks Anson!!🙏🏽👍🏾😁
Mimaland?
No, apparently it's an abandoned project called Genting Valley, the developer ran away. Its very old, been there since the 90s I think...
Thanks for watching!!🙏🏽😊
@@ChrisWeevilGarage Love your voice, keep up the good works!
@@calvinogood cheers bro!! Thanks for that, stay tuned for more mayhem to come ya, hahaha!!🙏🏽👍🏾😄
Still No Rattling is heard after a few days you drove push hard under the rough uneven surface .. deymm this car quality not bad ..
Yes, even on the harsh and uneven surfaces, there were no rattles except from my stuff going all over the place 😂
Quite well put together this X70!
Thanks for watching and the feedback 👍🏾😊
I was devastated when Proton announced that its AWD version has been discontinued. Now whatever I choose, its only got 2WD.
Yes, sadly no more AWD variant, so whoever bought one of the earlier CBU units is very lucky!!👍🏾😀🙏🏽
Proton has made a comeback for AWD version due to certain demand.
Bring me along if you want to go advanturing in the trails
Thanks for watching and the interest! 🙏🏽😀
That’s a great video
Proton x70 was just introduced in Pakistan and I was thinking to buy it
This video made my view clear!
I am gonna buy it❤️
Hey thanks for watching and the comment too bud, yeah it's a very decent SUV, this unit was the earlier all-wheel drive variant though, not sure if the ones u get there will be AWD too 🙏🏽😊
@@ChrisWeevilGarage there are 2 variants introduced
Executive awd
And premium fwd
I wanted a good family car for city and hilly driving
Or light off-roading sometimes
Perhaps I drive a Honda Brv and it felt quite underpowered but got the job done
I’m quite excited about this car as I’m deciding to buy it awd
@@furqannazir2244 go for it! We don't get the AWD variant here anymore, all FWD only now, so it might be the same there too in future 😊
saya tahu tempat ni kat hulu selangor kan penah smpai tugu2 ni, kawsan ni byk durian.
Yup betul, I baru tahu tempat pintu gerbang tu namanya Genting Valley, projek perumahan yg tak jadi. Thanks for watching!!🙏🏽😊
What a surprise ....
A good surprise I hope, haha! Thanks for watching!!🙏🏽😊
A good surprise indeed . You are welcome☺️🙏
Its not harsh enough... But thats ok..
Harsh enough for a soft-roader SUV geared more for city use, haha!!
Thanks for watching and the comment!!🙏🏽👍🏾😊
Kalau u guna kamera like action camera, pasti lebih baik tanpa video gegar dan more wide view bro. Very nice video.
FaizKenzo mmg betul tu, terima kasih sbb sudi share pengalaman 🙏🏽😊
Buat masa skrg, terpaksa pakai apa2 yg sedia ada kat tangan I je, bajet kurang sikit, haha!! Xpe we do the best with what we have kan? 😁
Thanks for watching and the feedback bro, terbaik 🙏🏽👍🏾😊
@@ChrisWeevilGarage sekarang dah banyak action cam murah. Pakai dashcam pun ok boss.
"Before it shake it self in pieces" hahah lol
🤭🤭🤭🙏🏽😁
R u joking? "Serious off road"? Exaggerated... thats a teenie weenie trail..
I actually meant a more serious trail than the previous video, but thanks for your comment 😊
X70 not 4x4..if you want serious off road better buy 4x4...you buy crv for off road??dont be crazy
@@muhammadshazriwan5664 exactly right bro, Proton never claimed this X70 as a off-road 4x4, ever. It's definitely just a soft-roader SUV geared more for town use, with the possible capability of tackling a light off-road trail at most. I just gila wanted to see how far in I could push it, hahaha!! Thanks for watching and the feedback, much appreciated 🙏🏽😊
This must be somewhere in Ulu Rening? The "stonehedge" was a bungalow development that was abandoned years ago.
Yup, it's the area around Hulu Tamu and Hulu Rening, Batang Kali 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
And yes, the abandoned development was called Genting Valley apparently, sad.
Thanks for watching and the feedback!!🙏🏽😊
that hill descent control system is pretty useful for kimanis highway in Sabah. I used to go there once with my myvi and the descent experience was horrible. Shifted my gear to second (auto) for engine break plus heavy footbreak when downhill.
Actually this HDC system is only for off-road driving, since it's a very slow descent, crawling speed, that might be dangerous on a highway. Shifting to a lower gear for a highway descent is a good move tho, well done!!👍🏾😊
Thanks for watching and the feedback 🙏🏽✌🏾
Chris Wee Ah I see. X70 is a good car thou (cbd version), there is a youtube video about x70 climbing up the kimanis hill, the performance is very good. I am looking forward to x50 which is “binyue” in China, I hope it’s good as well.
@@amykan9215 I think it will be if its big brother the X70 is anything to go by, stay tuned!!🙏🏽👍🏾😊
Should i buy this car or second hand mazda cx5 ? 🙈😞
Neither... until u test drive both and see which one suits your needs better 😊
Thanks for watching!!👍🏾😊
i think that AWD is more useful than FWD Premium one...
Even on highways...AWD pickup better than FWD...
Do u feel any difference when driving a 2WD and AWD SUV on the highway? Do let me know because I'm genuinely interested to know if owners of both can feel any discernible difference 😊
Thanks for watching and the feedback 👍🏾😃
