Uncle, shld also try Bukit Kimanis, a road to Keningau. Thisnis the real deal whether the car can handle hilly slopes or not & etc².... road to Kundasang-Ranau is not that steep enuf... anyways z tq for visiting us here in Sabah... cheers 🍻
Used to drive to kimanis petroleum training centre back and forth from kk, walaoweeeiiii even there is no shop, 7e, toilet along the way, back in 2014. That rental saga's cvt whining all the way.
@@PalataoArmy toilet d puncak bkt kimanis,small shop ada tu,d siring2 jalan.dan d banjaran crocker keningau,ada jg kedai runcit.klo 7e minta maaf la sana tiada..sebelum smpi puncak dari arah kk pun ada kedai runcit tepi jalan dan tandas..
The X70 looks impressive. Overall I was smitten with the beautiful scenery you're experiencing in Sabah. Ever considered a second channel YS, perhaps named Y S Khong Travelling? You're a natural at narration, it would be fun to watch. Stay well.
Hi Uncle. Welcome to Sabah! I'm a fan of yours. By the way, I wanted to suggest you to try going up Kimanis road. That road will test the full potential of any cars.
Hi YS Kong. While driving to Kundasang has a good scenery to enjoy, it lacks the steep roads. IMHO, it would much better to drive from Kota Kinabalu to Keningau and back via the Kimanis - Keningau road.
The chicken wings and chicken bum bum are really good @ pekan nabalu. Do give it a try next time Uncle YS! Breeze not the soap is a niceeeee touch xD Yes! Please try the Kimanis Route, it is different than the last time you were here. Recommend to drive a Ranger 3.2 Manual. A blissful experience indeed!
Uncle YS Khonh may request Proton to do a Borneo Road Trip using this 2025 Proton X70 from Tawau, Sabah to Kuching, Sarawak to get a more in-depth view in terms of fuel consumption, cabin comfort, and engine capabilities for the long-distance road trip. Then we can know this car really made for Borneo road or not. 😬
X70 needs to give an AWD option. Better traction and safer than any ADAS nonsense anyday. Malaysians are being shortchanged unknowingly with the lack of AWD options in SUVs, replaced by ADAS "safety" gimmicks like lane change warnings. If the driver doesn't know what he is doing or falls asleep while driving, he shouldn't be driving!
They once introduced an AWD on Executive model from CBU unit back when it was first launch. Due to bad FC and heavier than FWD, people were afraid to buy it. Ever since then, Proton drop AWD option all together despite it's capability as Chris Wee once did minor off-road the car in hutan.
@@Zim___ I'm driving that now and i love it. More than once its kicked in on slippery roads. Of course its slightly heavier and higher FC, but if that's a concern, those people shouldn't' buy an SUV. An SUV stands for Sport Utility Vehicle, Sport think handling and yes higher FC, Utility think Go Anywhere. Can't go just anywhere with 2WD. Also what's most helpful in local rainy season, ADAS or AWD?
Point is, Msians been brainwashed into this. AWD is widely desired in countries like Australia, US, Europe because their motoring journalists do real unbiased critique on Important elements like control and handling, as opposed to ours who only know how to talk about LED lights, ADAS, bodykits. We are being shortchanged. Now only the most expensive cars and models comes with AWD and only the rich enjoys them. Why, because the middle class has been steered into accepting lesser FWDs as "better". The early CRVs and other SUVs all had AWD. Now being replaced by stupid drive aids that are more annoying then helpful, and we pay a premium on those instead of the real stuff that matters. Only Subaru has it now, but our local dealership sucks.
Actually uncle,only the 1st year the engine is silent.Above that,both x50 and x70 alike has truck/diesel clatter sound😂😂😂.....its a horrible engine that even geely has choosed to change the engine.Proton did not change just bcoz they have invested millions on the manufacturing.
@thuladumadela is it the direct injection model??...if yes,it is audible when ur car is on the move.Inside the car wont hear much.Same with campro engine.....seems inherent with proton,dunno wat they are cheapening out....
Correction:
01:54 Oops! I meant to say X70!
Thanks for highlighting Sabah, glad you enjoyed the drive, uncle. I had no trouble with me X50 up to Kundasang too.

Welcome to Negeri Dibawah Bayu...

@@ktan321yeah. Even Kembara also AWD
Excellent Uncle
I spotted Proton cars test in kundasang on 28/8/2024, on my vacation 😅
Welcome to sabah sifu
"OK Lah" is like saying the car is not good but you still give a bit more points anyway?
Look at it from a value for money viewpoint, then the car is good.
Decent SUV. Shame this facelift doesn’t come with AWD option like previous model
Yes, for EM, an AWD variant would be ideal.
@@YSKhongDriving do u think the FWD is sufficient for WM driving uncle?
Go to Bukit Kimanis, then you will know truly the capability of the car hahah
Uncle ys khong can u try the bmw e60 530i 😂❤
I think hard to get the car now.
