Since its launch in December 2018, the Proton X70 has been the No.1 selling C-segment SUV in Malaysia. However as of January 2023, it no longer holds the leading position. The new sales leader is the Toyota Corolla Cross. As of June 2023, cumulative sales of the Proton X70 stood at 6,116 units and Proton’s own press release lists the X70 as “2nd highest volume C-segment SUV” in Malaysia. UMW Toyota Motor doesn’t publish the breakdown of its sales by model but checks with the publicly available M

However, just because Aston Martin has been influenced by its

The C-segment SUV market is surely one of the most competitive in Malaysia. With almost every major carmaker offering one, it’s not hard to see why these are gaining popularity among Malaysians. They are spacious and practical for a growing family, with some even offering 7 seats. Plus, with a higher driving position, it’s probably an ideal vehicle for those who wish to command more presence on the road. But while practicality and size are determining factors in getting a C-segment SUV, another

Proton Cars have just delivered 50 units of the Proton X70 CBU to the Ministry of Health (MOH) for the fight against Covid-19. The fleet of X70s will be used by MOH primarily to transport our medical heroes during this Covid-19 pandemic.

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. Proton officials said that this is to create a greater visual differentiation between the mid-range Executive and Premium variants despite knowing full well that the tyre replacement for the 19-inch wheels wou
