with some nice compliment from you about x70...makes me eager to test drive one....
What can say is from his explanation Proton has step up the game. From the built quality, the feature, the material that used for interior and also their finishing is already in the next level which is very good. We will see more when the has offcial launch. I really hope proton can press the price as lower as can just like how Wuling Motors did in their product in Indonesia..
I think Proton X70 will be 120k for high spec ..For this price at the same segment will be a good sell for Proton 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
fukthegoog so don't park on grass when buy burger lol ..
fukthegoog who really needs awd or 4wd? I mean how often you go off roading or went to genting highland? If im going to buy a car, awd won’t matter since every place i go, 2wd is more than enough.... i can even going uphill at genting with just 2wd cars..... we also live in malaysia where there is no winter season... so i guess we’re good to go... plus, he mentioned that mid spec gets awd option, so if you really need awd, then go for that option la,.....
Just got my top spec Honda CRV... and watching this youtube video in my car... Cry no tears...
100k sell it to me. Then buy this cn car
Don’t worry bro...ur crv dignity still save...
Only time will tell..
I bet crv still better than x70
@@dimitri91 brand new CRV has simple unforgivable quality that no one ever expect that their gear knob button broken with the spring popping out for less than a year.. Head over CRV Owner group and see many owner posted it.. 10 years old Myvi or even older Kelisa never has such problem. Think about it..
Just got invited to preview proton x70. What I can say is that proton x70 premium 2.0 FWD is quite equivalent to Harrier. And that Nappa leather is soooo nice!
Just like Xiao Mi marketing strategies. Flagship Killer for SUV instead of smartphone.
So true. I heard the price 90-140k. 4 variants.
Poor man car ? Like xiaomi
ya the price falls exactly in the range where it's available to more people , great product to it's core , and if all products follow the same path , well we would be swimming in cheap affordable and useful objects .
Bobby, How’s the driving position??? Is it comfortable...like Japanese or European standard??? Thanks...
Since you own Volvo xc90 and tested xc60 in Europe comparing drive quality between xc60 and proton x70. Of course price range between both will be a gap.
Bobby Ang... you are killing it with the views on this video. As usual, from the heart and not holding anything back. I just wished it had another row of seats even if they were kid seats.. :(
Oh i think it's too small for another row of seats .... :)
i like the part when he said the usb port at the rear view mirror to use for dash cam. but, it would be great if proton have built in dash cam. on second thought, people will have options to install their preferences of dash cam right?
Proton is climbing. You can see how geely did to the volvo XC90. Perfect modern car
Geeky nvr do a thing to Volvo. They just provide whatever financial support to the Scandinavian car manufacturer needs and let them do their magic.
No money no magic
Chick Kam Loong exactly....Geely has the money and Volvo has the technical know how. With money Volvo was able to invest in R&D and develop better products. In turn Geely benefits from tech Transfer from Volvo.
Great share of insight about the new product and indeed many wow’s from Bobby’s sharing. So looking forward to seeing and test-driving the real stuff. Nonetheless, I can’t help worrying about your safety, Bobby, for doing this video while driving. Would strongly recommend you do your next video not while driving.. I’ve subscribed to your channel and looking forward to your next ‘safely produced’ video. Cheers!
I cancel my family Honda Crv booking and booking this new X70
but now all from geely... dont know how it will be when proton manufacturing... in China this quality is better than most VW
how was the car so far sir, have you received it?
Can it perform as Subaru
Does it have AWD capability? Thanks.
Would you get your Volvo xc or proton
Bobby
will we be getting the Morel Sound System for the Premium range model?
Bobby Ang, as usual very informative review ..
Will there be androidauto or apple carplay for the infotainment system?
Hi Bobby. Been wanting you to test drive the Haval H2 SUV. Would like your sincere opinion regarding another SUV from China. Thanks!
Other than the build quality, how's the engine and gearbox or throttle response?
I was shocked when you mentioned all the features then I remembered It's a rebaged Geely boyou
How does the 1.8 turbo feel? Is it an automatic? Cvt? Dct?
How about the gearbox? Does it comes with 6 speeds auto or CVT?
Okayy.. Something new for proton & a quite mind blowing things from proton to Malaysian.. You make us impressed with it, and really can't wait to see them
Perghhh bobby....jaw dropping review...i hope same with the price...if the price above 150k..that not proton..but volvo...
Just booked CRV TC-P, don’t think will change my decision.....Good video ya, Bobby ! Keep it up
It wont. CRV is larger. Significantly larger.
thx man.......
The new Cx5 is more quite faster. stable good handling then crv..crv wins just the space
Some people just wanted space
Yeah.......super spacious for CRV.........very important factor as a family SUV, the pickup is not bad too.... just that the revving sound a bit, might modify the muffler......
X70 can use apple carplay? The top spec uses hid or led headlamp?
I'm more concerned about the overall quality of the car, not only the interior part. We often hear comments about local brand car's quality is not as good as the foreign brand. U know, maybe after a few years of driving, the chances of having problems with the local brand car are higher compared to the foreign brand. It might be a steal compared to the cars at its level, but it is still not worth it if you need to spend a huge amount of money on maintenance after a few years. Can't wait to see the video of your driving experience on the X70.
When you're frustrated talking to yourself and the car responds, hope it understands 'shadap laaa' hahaha, anyway cool info man good job.
Nice preview of the X70. The only thing now is to wait for test drive. On the engine hood fully covered, I don't fancy this feature as it is difficult for drivers or mechanics to spot leaks at an early stage.
How about compare w a toyota harrier in term of look and spec?
Bobby does it drive like a conti??
whats about the powertrain spec bobby?
How is the acceleration and road holding ?
Fantastic. Thanks Bobby!!
Why geely not selling in euro n USA , n more market ? Mostly in China ? BCAU of price ?
Bobby, ignoring any external factors ( parking, wife not happy etc ), would you buy the Proton X70 ?
He need to test drive first. Haha
11:28 Bobby: "in the end of the day, malaysian only look at the badge".. true af
@Roy Domann lol.. nice tips bro
Excellent. Very detailed and straight forward. Given such high marks, now the worry - how much they are going to sell.
I told my dad about the X70 yesterday, he seems impressed by it and he literally told me to drive him to the nearest Proton showroom to see the car. 😂 Had to tell him that the car will be revealed at the end of this year. He even watched a video of the Geely Boyue on TH-cam to find out more about it.
Now u made me feel like buying it. Thanks for the detailed review.
bobby.. im using so many proton cars in so many years.. now im waiting for my new HRV facelift stock.. i really want to know ur opinion about how X70 market value will be bcoz im really tired with proton value when it comes to trade in.. tq bro
Note:-
me: Preve, Satria
wife: Iriz, Old persona
my family: Exora, Neo
Those USB port are not support fast charging,hope the next update will improve four post for front and back passenger.
Looking forward to the day when proton will start producing smaller car or cheaper car with such quality. Future looks bright for proton
When will they bring it to jb ? Your words have made me hyped.
Important quality, not only out look .
convincing review. I should give a look / try to the up coming X70. strive high #Proton.
Wow , i guess we can support Malaysian products with the help of CN management . Gladly support a Malaysian product from now .
After seeing Bobby’s reaction, i really can’t wait to see car in person....
How about the engine and fuel economy..?
x70 can it compete with xc70?
loved ur enthusiastic narration Bobby...now get that x70 drive :P
3rd row of seats available?
How was the car handling... Closer to tiguan/cx-5?
Mohd Saharudin Mohd Noor no one driven yet though
What is the boot space
wonder will the CKD be price lower then the CBU model... if yes worth to wait never see you so excited before for a local car....
Bobby, like your review. Hopefully X70 won't have the power windows issues of traditional Proton...
This car has gone another level 🤯🙌🏻
Fuel consumption per/km how?
Oh...You've got me more excited !
the price???
X70 is something exquisite made by proton.. period
if only i have more budget.. my Inspira is irreplaceable, so much fun with it but increasing family member makes me consider the X70..wishlist haha only can buy it after 6 7 years.
Dude Blitzer. Did u do any tuning on your Inspira...? U sounded so happy with your inspira? If u know any place to retune the engine as per Lance's performance do share it please...
Just wait for rich people sell it second hand, lower price, almost new
easily source sparepart, warranty friendly , i wish they share parts with volvo. i would buy it.
What's the price like?
Bro bobby.. Fantastic review..
How is driving?。。。tq😊
Kon+Bobby+Boyue review = Very clear picture
Now left the pricing
G ZC they said around 130k
it has 4 variant..obviously if there is RM130k it must must highest spec.
TheZaman hmmm that would be quite fair .
How much price in Indian market
The main is the heart of the car , engine n handling....
How about the engine and iverall reliabity? Is it reliable?
I’ve seen the boyue in China and I’m quite impressed with the size and design of the car. Make no mistake, China has so many local design car which can put most of the car manufacturer to shame . Highly anticipated X70
Thank you for the heads up
Rear usb power is no use if the communication cable is not connect to the rear cam. In e end still need to open the cover.....
There's a WhatsApp message going around saying the price will be 86k - 120k. Do you think that is true? My mom already considering the base model if the price is below 90k. I know people always talk about reliability when it comes to China brand but if the warranty is 5 years don't really need to worry too much. If you talk about brand and reliability what pops up on your mind when you hear vw? Aren't they like the top 3 car group in the world? Also let's be honest, the Japanese brands are not as reliable as they used to be in the 80's- early 2000s. Spare parts are not cheap as well. Only thing left to see now is how well the x70 can take our roads and weather. Hopefully proton's input is there.
All in all, thank you so much for the review. Can't wait to actually get to see and feel the car when it is on the roadshows.
Smart move by the Chinese Proton investor I must say. Their mentality are totally way above the locals "cari makan & cukup makan" mentality. Well done Geely.
Hopefully, Proton sales will skyrocket to beat the odds
Strongest command of English among Malaysian car reviewers. Subscribed.
Pricing should be cheaper since it's our local brand and locally manufactured
WoW! I like what you says.
I'm sure its not as good as BMW, but to be honest i would expect X70 to be as the same level as the all new Peugeot 3008 Allure . Which is impressive 👍🏻
@@Nabilllllll I too did not mention any BMW models bro, im being general . It could be the F30, the F10, the X5, any models . Im saying that for Proton to be on par with the BMW is quite hard, they're the wolf in the industry . But i would expect Proton X70 to be as good as the Peugeot 3008 Allure, which is very good indeed . Do you agree?
Thanks for the informative video 👍 Really considering buying this car next year. But gosh now I’m scared thinking what might be the price range for this car after listening to your description 😅
90-140
dont spread fake pricing
Bobby , I will have a tough decision to make , I pre-book both Volvo XC 40 and this Proton X70 , will decide when see the actual car and test drive it to feel the engine and power , but i think the quite huge price gap may sway my decision !!!!
Pick the volvo, european engineering never lie
I actually wanted to have a car with all the new safety technologies , in terms of look and design and also all the new tech , Volvo tick the box , but Volvo have totally no resale value , once buy must keep for life , also in consideration of maintenance cost and premier brand price , this Proton X70 provide another cheaper option , have to weight all the pros and cons , anywhere thanks for the opinion
@@alvina.r2038 geely also owns volvo you know
@@armohazin haha yes thats true
No longer true. A RM600k BMW 535i from 2011 now sells for RM95-110k, a RM400k Volvo S60 T6 now sells for RM80-90k. Mercedes E300 that sells for RM500k in 2012 is now below RM110k .... it's no longer that case.
Is there any crash test rating for this car?
vikash74 C-NCAP 5 star...not sure how reliable is the rating compared to Euro NCAP though
The old light is called incandescent... Bulb with tungsten filaments
Thanks bobby for your surprised comment..!!
Where is the car?
I think most Volvos have those cover thing
and is the trans CVT or what?
6AT
I just hope the next car would be a super sedan, maybe Preve 2.0?
What's toilet cover?
18 inch stock tyre? That a signal it's priced above RM170,000. Could be more though.
I really wonder if Bobby will remain the same positive thougt and compliment if this is only a Geely product without the Proton badge. Comparing to what the original makes with a CX5 really shock me and a lot of others.
I have just praise of his neutrality in car review and I hope after the product launched, it proves me wrong.
Now i need to explain this further, first of all, let's talk about the previous generation Mazda 3. When it was CKD-ed in Malaysia, it comes with a higher quality dashboard as opposed to the one from Japan where the entire dashboard is of a cheaper hard plastic. This means Mazda Malaysia had the choice to opt for a cheaper material when they sourced locally, or up the quality - they have a choice.
Proton too had a choice for the X70. We repeatedly asked if what we saw (those CBU RHD X70s) will be identical to the local assembly versions (with locally sourced parts) and Proton management said yes. Now taking their words into account, let me just quickly say that Proton had the choice of:
1. Opting for lower quality plastics and interior trims that allows them to price the car cheaper, think Honda HRV levels of quality, or Myvi - they have a choice.
2. Leather, Proton could've picked a lower grade leather - think BMW 530i or Volvo XC60 levels of leather quality, or they can even go lower, the plasticky type of leather used in Japanese cars in Malaysia. - they have a choice.
3. Dual tail pipes, Proton could've opt for a single tip tail pipe instead of two. They could've saved some money there as well.
4. Tyres, Proton could've opt for Sime Tyres instead of Hankooks to save money. Think of the low quality tyres of the Iriz, they again, have a choice.
5. Panoramic roof, Malaysian Japanese or Korean cars that are priced RM150-170k doesn't even have them, Proton could've opted it out again to save money - they have a choice.
6. The arm rest ionizer, who even thought that could've been something people wanted? Not even premium cars have them, but Proton too opted for it. Again, they have a choice.
7. Powered seats, even the Honda HRV at RM11xk doesn't come with powered seats, these are stuffs we find in cars costing more, Proton had a choice.
8. Engine cover, double gas struts for the engine bay, these are Lexus GS/LS level stuffs; no one buying a car within RM250k wou;d've asked for that, they have a choice not to.
So all in all, if the CKD version of the X70 came without all these, we wouldn't have bat an eyelid, but we repeatedly asked and request for confirmation that all that we're seeing, will be in the new X70, and they said yes.
That's what got me worried - how are they going to price it low enough so that it fits into everyone's expectations? Proton doesn't even have a car that sells well above RM60k. The Suprima S doesn't sell, the Perdana doesn't sell, even if the Perdana sells is only because everyone knew they're buying a budget Accord.
The above is the reason why I put up my hand and questioned Li Chun Rong, why Proton wants to jump 3 segments up immediately, so determined, so soon. No one expected them to go there anyway. And he said they need this to turn around Proton's image. A product driven approach.
So yeah, if this car is a Geely imported to Malaysia with all these, I wouldn't be so surprised, because China is competitive, extremely competitive. Car dealers hire masseurs and had full blown restaurants in their service centres to serve customers. Malaysian customers are already happy with some Chipsmore and Milo. Geely's market is extremely competitive hence the above isn't something extraordinary for China. But Proton had a choice not to in order to be more logical and pragmatic and fail safe, but they went all out. Hence my reaction.
@@BobbyAngmalaysia Thx Bobby for the detail information. hopefully they could maintain it and use this as a stepping stone for the brand repo improvement.
+Bobby Ang Simple...the car has already achieved economy of scale to bring down the price of manufacturing
Thanks for the informative review ( of sorts hehe. Of course, a proper review will have to wait until test fleet cars are ready ). Nappa leather, wow that is expensive. Be warned thou, this is just the inital CBU unit. Actual CKD unit will follow later, hope that the fit and finish of the upcoming CKD unit will be as good as the CBU units.
CKD will never be as good fit n finish quality wise as CBU. Don't think it's changing with this one.
Thanks for sharing bobby. 👍👍
Alamak. Just bought the Tiguan. Haha. How la.
Pray that you don't kena expensive repairs.
This car is rated higher compared to the Tiguan in China...lol
Bole kasi trade
No worries... that badge makes you looks good already. just use it till it cannot move loh...
bobby review the ssangyong tivoli too
Hope new proton make automatic indicator light aka signal light (to many new car broke indicator light) you know what I mean......
The best suv i seen was CX5 with premium interior. But price matter x70 will cheaper. Price level similar hrv.
Proton will be target for global market.
oh damnnn that nappa leather...
