When the updated locally assembled (CKD) Proton X70 was launched in June 2022, introducing a new 1.5-litre 3-cylinder GEP3 turbocharged engine to complement the existing 1.8-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged unit, only the 1.8 TGDi Premium variant has a panoramic sunroof. Now, Proton has updated the X70 range to include a new 1.5 TGDi Premium X variant. This brings the total X70 variants to six. The 1.5 TGDi Premium X variant sits between the 1.5 TGDi Premium and 1.8 TGDi Premium variants. As a reca

It’s a landmark occasion for Proton as the carmaker celebrates producing the 10,000th unit of its famed GEP3 (Global Engine Petrol 3) 1.5 TGDI engine at its Tanjung Malim plant on 1 December 2022.

Compared to the regular X70, the upcoming SE is draped in Ocean Blue – the same shade of colour found on the Proton X50. An SE emblem can also be seen in this rear-view shot.

Mercedes-Benz’s flagship sedan, the S-Class, will be moving forwards to a new generation soon and it has been seen testing under disguise. And now we’ve just come across spy shots of the upcoming W223 (V223 for long wheelbase variants) generation 2021 S-Class with minimal disguise. From the front, it resembles the recently unveiled 2020 E-Class facelift albeit with slimmer head lamps. The grille appears to be enlarged, so BMW isn't the only one enlarging front grilles.

Last week, this column discussed the challenges that lie ahead in exporting the Proton X70 to Indonesia.
