Proton S70 - ADAS, Acceleration, Ride & Handling Tested on Track | EvoMalaysia.com

[@ngyc6294]

Good take on the S70. Definitely glad to see Proton keeping up with times and continue to expand their range of customers. Personally I would already expect Geely-based vehicles to no longer have the "Proton ride and handling" but instead gain vast improvements in other areas Proton used to lag behind.

[@KonWaiLuen]

That's a fair statement. The enthusiasts among us will always miss the sweet handling of the Waja, Neo, and Gen.2, but as a company, Proton's number one obligation is to make stuff that people want to buy.

[@ngyc6294]

@@KonWaiLuen True, unfortunately the demand and trend for cars seem to be evolving into mere travel 'appliances' with added safety and creature comforts. Try telling people the satisfaction when a smooth manual gear change is made or how you navigated thru a series of bends right on the apex and most likely most will think you're mad.

[@anonymed7898]

@@KonWaiLuen I think in the proton era is only the engine issues... other gadgets stuff is not common car, unless luxury conti cars that have many features, still with ride and handling like preve its comfort enough...

I've use Proton Saga 1.3 pass 5 years. Fantastic great driven car. S70 looks set to be quite an engaging car I believe. Hope the Lotus handling still there. Well done. 😊

Hey Kon, great review! Does this have the magic Ride & Handling like your Persona? What’s your thoughts on it? Coming from Proton Preve user

[@arx117]

Noor, there's no proton rider and handling because it's geely car. Need to wait persona and saga replacement in 2025

How's the steering feel? I drove an X50 extensively before and the steering was lifeless compared to a Subaru XV which much better.

It will feel the same. Steering now a days don't feel anything unless you buy civic type R.

Proton used thinner torsion beam for better articulation maybe?

[@ayabass]

Honestly I think it's the best sub 100k sedan, IF Proton does price it competitively. However if the flagship is 100k upwards then it will lose against Civic for sure.

[@KonWaiLuen]

My guess is they want to try their best to squeeze the Flagship X at RM99k before on-road costs

[@aircommandslipperz]

i would like to see a drag race between s70, civic and corolla altis..maybe civic will win, but interesting to see what will happen between NA corolla and turbo s70..

[@mr123undead]

[@mykolkei945]

​@@pudingaomar6341The service center will be civic next stop. Cause the cvt will want to be serviced.. Honda common problem.

[@GF-mf7ml]

Newer cars use CVT, they are slow from stop. The problem with proton is it's not cheap to maintain and quality not good enough. Japanese car brand also have problems like CVT only no other transmission. I hate new cars. The older 5 speed Honda are way more fun to drive.

[@ryuhayashi97]

Without radar, won't that compromise the ICC detectability on rainy days?

[@Kalvin708]

But isn’t s70 a c segment car?

[@Seramics]

The caption look like RiderATH is driving.

[@germaineliew2012]

Last time I've test driven a X50, I wasn't all so impressed with its driving experience. The ride and handling is overall just ok, expected out of a crossover. The DNA that you'd expect from a Proton, is definitely not there. I see a number of people who have X50's and X70's, sharing the same sentiment even when compared to its direct Japanese competitor. Thus, I'm not sure if the S70 will fair significatly better than the B and C segment competitors. Maybe the lower height of a sedan would help to an extent I guess.

[@Internet_God]

Its already not the proton of the old days lah..now is just geely rebadged as proton..it could be any name

[@germaineliew2012]

@@Internet_God Yet Proton still wants to heavily emphasise on their ride and handling, when we know that it isn't Geely's priority to begin with.

Pretty good as far as the driving experience of the day was concerned

[@Zim___]

It misses a multilink and pedal shifter. It should be the Persona replacement not Prévé.

[@germaineliew2012]

Size and performance wise, it is closer to a C segment than the typical B. Although most C segs have independent rears, it's not rare to see some of them having torsion beam rear. Notably the current gen Mazda 3, the older Altis, some of the lower Korean and European C seg too. It is a downgrade, but I'm guessing that's more to do with cost cutting on Geely's part. I'm not even sure if any of the Emgrand the S70 is based on has independent rears. As much as Proton wants to emphasise on ride and handling on the new sedan, it's never really Geely's priority, and it's not like the existing Geely rebadges excel in that department as much as what Proton's in house work was known for.

[@dragonballtorture]

Because I got into the car and just started driving. My mistake, but why would I be biased against the Vios?
