You’ve probably heard or read comments that says something along the lines of “The Honda HR-V is not an SUV, it’s a crossover. An SUV is something like a Toyota Fortuner.” You can replace the former with any tarmac-biased tall riding vehicle, and the latter with any ladder frame 4x4.

Prices have been lowered, there are more features, and the engine has been updated to deliver better driving performance, paired to a new, more fuel efficient transmission. You can read a summary of what’s new with the Proton X70 CKD here. Being a popular new car, there’s also a lot of hype surrounding the new Proton X70 CKD’s launch. That hype might give the impression that it’s a perfect car but it is not because th
