This just in – a facelifted Proton X70 might be in the works, as evident by this set of photos sent in by reader Greg Fernando to us moments ago. Spotted around Subang, the car is all masked up in the areas that matter the most, the front end and on the rear fascia.

Previously in our year-end review of sorts, we have taken a look at the most important car launches but in this article, we'll focus on the models that have been discontinued in 2020.

Today is the first day of the 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show and following the 2020 Beijing Auto Show, this is the next biggest car show from China.

We featured a Hongqi in our Top Rank article on the most luxurious cars from around the world and the brand has a storied history. Literally translated to Red Flag in Mandarin, Hongqi was form

The Proton X70 became an instant hit with Malaysians for its superb value for money, quality and features. At launch, the national carmaker surprised us by equipping the range-topping X70 Premium with 19-inch alloys as standard. The largest-ever wheel size to be fitted onto a Proton model.
