No, we did not make a boo-boo with our title – the Proton X70 and the model it is derived from, the Geely Boyue, has its roots traces to the Toyota RAV4. Do note that the RAV4 mentioned here is not the current-generation, TNGA-based model, but an older generation model. This is according to a book titled Geely Drives Out (by Hua Wang, Giovanni Balcet, Wenxian Zhang), which is an academic review of Geely’s business and was published with support by Geely.
