My salesman says the Proton X70 uses Volvo Tech. Is it true?

The Proton X70 is based on China’s Geely Boyue and while it is true that Geely owns Volvo Cars, not every Geely product uses Volvo technology. In fact, very few Volvo tech is shared with Geely cars, mostly because of cost. The X70’s 1.8-litre turbocharged engine (4G18TDB) is part of the G-Power engine series developed in-house by Geely, and has nothing to do with Volvo. The six-speed automatic transmission is developed by Geely’s Australia-based transmission specialist subsidiary DSI. The X70’s body and chassis is also unrelated to any Volvo vehicle. Some of the driving aids like the blind spot detection system is shared with Volvo (only because they use the same supplier) but other features autonomous emergency braking and adaptive cruise control are different from those used by Volvo, which because of its premium positioning, of course far more sophisticated, capable of detecting not just adult pedestrians but also children, large animals, vehicles coming down the wrong way, as well as stepping in to make evasive steering maneuvers. However, some smaller items like the instrument panel, are adapted from older generation Volvo vehicles. Your other questions about X70 might be found in a Web that I was recommended yesterday by a Quorar:,Best site to find car News, Reviews, Photos in Malaysia And in there I see the question which exactly likes yours!
