1.5 turbo Proton X70 tested at extreme temperatures and 3,100 m above sea level in Pakistan

A recent video by Proton Pakistan's facebook page has showed the Proton X70 being tested in high altitudes and extreme temperatures.

According to Proton, the testing was conducted from February to July 2020.

The Proton X70 was tested for over 50,000 km and the car scaled altitudes of up to 3,118 meters above sea level.

The Proton X70 had to endure temperatures as low as -10°C in the snowy mountains and temperatures as high as 52°C in the scorching desert.

Pakistan will receive a CBU version of the Proton X70 powered by the same 1.5-litre turbo engine in the Proton X50.

Despite running a smaller engine, the 1.5-litre turbo Proton X70 is capable of a top speed of 205 km/h.

Two variants will be offered in Pakistan, namely the Executive AWD and Premium 2WD. A 5-year/150,000 km warranty is included.

Local assembly of the proton X70 in Pakistan will commence latest in June 2021. Covered in camo, we are yet to see if there will be any minor design changes for the Pakistan market.

Oops... Something broke.

Toyota's Kinto is getting bored, finds a way to make the AH30 Alphard and Vellfire sliding doors close faster

You know how some cars can be truly fantastic except for one minor detail that you just can’t overlook and it ends up ruining the entire driving experience. It could be a terrible head unit or a bad seating position. Well, some of the engineers at Toyota’s Kinto subscription service thought that could be the abysmally slow speed of the sliding doors on the previous AH30 generation of the Toyota Alphard and Vellfire. Either that or they must be getting really bored over there. Or someone has secr
