Expert Reviews
The S70 is Proton's most refined sedan yet. The 1.5L turbo delivers 150 PS smoothly through the CVT, cabin quality rivals Japanese competitors, and the tech level is impressive for RM70k-90k. A genuine C-segment contender.

After 20,000 km with the Flagship, I'm thoroughly impressed. The ride is comfortable on long trips, ACC with ADAS works great on highways, and build quality has been solid. Fuel economy averages 7.5-8.0 L/100km mixed driving. Excellent value.

The S70's interior feels premium with soft-touch materials, well-damped switchgear, and thoughtful ergonomics. The 360-degree camera (Flagship) and large touchscreen make it feel like a car from a segment above. Proton's quality leap is real.

Space is generous - rear legroom easily accommodates tall adults, and the 530L boot swallows luggage with ease. The sedan profile looks professional, making it popular with executives and e-hailing drivers alike.

The Flagship variant at RM90k (after discount) packs exceptional value: panoramic sunroof, full ADAS, 360-camera, 18-inch wheels. Compare this to a Honda Civic at RM140k+ and the S70 makes financial sense without feeling like a compromise.
AutoBuzz.my
Handling is competent with good body control, and the steering offers decent feedback. It's not sporty, but refined and comfortable for daily use. The 1.5L turbo has adequate power for overtaking, though it's not as punchy as the X50's engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
S70 (RM70k-90k) vs Civic (RM140k+) vs Corolla (RM135k+): S70 advantages - RM40k-50k cheaper, similar features (ADAS, touchscreen, safety), spacious interior, modern tech. Civic/Corolla advantages - better resale value, stronger brand reputation, proven reliability. Buy S70 if value matters and you keep cars long-term. Buy Japanese if resale value and brand prestige are priorities. The S70 is genuinely competitive in quality now.
Executive (RM76,145, offer RM70,145): Basic but complete - good for budget buyers. Premium (RM82,311, offer RM76,311): Adds ACC, LDW, reverse camera - good middle ground. Flagship (RM92,586, offer RM84,586): BEST VALUE - adds leather, AEB, 6 airbags, 17-inch wheels. Flagship X (RM97,724, offer RM89,724): Adds panoramic sunroof, 360-camera, full ADAS, 18-inch wheels - ultimate variant. Most buyers choose Flagship for safety, Flagship X for completeness.
Based on owner reports with the 1.5L TGDI engine and CVT: Mixed driving: 7.5-8.5 L/100km (city and highway). Highway cruising: 6.5-7.5 L/100km at 110 km/h. Heavy city traffic: 9-10 L/100km. Long-distance touring: 6.8-7.2 L/100km. The CVT helps maintain efficiency, and the turbo engine is well-tuned. RON95 petrol. Overall, excellent for a C-segment sedan.
Yes! The S70 comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (both wired connection via USB). The touchscreen is responsive and high-resolution. While not wireless like X50/X70, the wired connection is reliable and charges your phone simultaneously. The infotainment system is user-friendly with good graphics and quick response times.
S70 (RM70k-90k): 1.5L turbo (150 PS), C-segment size, premium interior, ADAS available, 530L boot, better materials. Persona (RM47k-58k): 1.6L NA (107 PS), B-segment, basic interior, no ADAS, 510L boot. S70 is RM20k-30k more but feels significantly more premium with better tech, power, and refinement. Persona offers better value for basic needs. S70 targets those wanting near-Japanese quality at Proton prices.
Yes, increasingly popular for premium e-hailing! Advantages: Spacious rear seats impress passengers, 530L boot for luggage, sedan profile looks professional, comfortable suspension, good fuel economy (7.5-8.5 L/100km), lower purchase cost than Civic/Accord. The Executive/Premium variants are cost-effective choices. Some drivers report better tips due to the newer, premium appearance. Good alternative to aging Camrys in e-hailing fleet.
Being relatively new (launched late 2023), long-term reliability data is limited. Early owner reports are positive: No major mechanical issues reported, build quality is solid, CVT operates smoothly, minor rattles uncommon. Best practices: Follow service intervals strictly, use quality RON95 fuel, CVT fluid change as recommended, keep software updated. Most owners report trouble-free ownership. As with any new model, allow 1-2 years for reliability trends to emerge.
Flagship X (RM89,724) vs Flagship (RM84,586) = RM5,138 difference. You get: Panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, full ADAS suite, push start, 18-inch wheels. The 360-camera and ADAS alone are worth RM5k for safety and convenience. Sunroof adds premiumness. If budget allows, Flagship X is the best-equipped variant and offers excellent value. Resale value will also be better with full ADAS and premium features.
