The Geely Boyue X is the most recent update

The Geely Boyue, sold here as the Proton X70, has entered its seventh year of its model lifecycle. To keep it competitive against newer rivals like the Haval H6, a brand-new model is needed.

The X70 shares its 1.8-litre turbo engine with the Boyue

The long-serving turbocharged 1.8-litre engine could make way for a newer Volvo-sourced Drive-E 2.0-litre unit, possibly lifted off the Xingyue L. In the Xingyue L, two power outputs are offered: 217 PS and 325 Nm, as well as 238 PS and 350 Nm.

Production of the Proton X70 started in late-2019, just before Covid-19 hit us

The current generation Proton X70 only began production in Malaysia at the Tanjung Malim plant in late-2019, before launching in February 2020, just before MCO/CMCO wreaked havoc on the company’s projections.
