Proud owner of one here... Well done Proton, very well done!

[@danielng3497]

Well done China

[@hasnurashidhasan1281]

well done iphone... built in china

[@isabellefahd3973]

Did you own this one? How’s the car? It does look impressive. Please share your personal thoughts.

[@nabihahnik5396]

Would you like to share your experience.. I’m doing survey for my next car

[@sahitro1815]

Just out of curiousity. What if the battery run out and needed to be changed. Will the whole system of the car reset? Will the car even run like it usually do??

[@BBoyZaii]

7:33 thats not a gimmick bruh.. its speciality.. for keeping the cabin as cool as possible under the hot sun in malaysia

[@ChunHungWan]

BBoyZaii and the cool thing is that the windows will close themselves when the car senses rain

You can install the sun visor if you’re afraid of burglary

A very quality video! The best so far! Short, but loaded with information. Well done!

[@darien3]

The voice command / Malaysia accent scene is golden. Thank you

[@mugilansubraiyan4961]

For me the window trick is quite useful if u park the car outside the mosque during friday prayer or ur going to a kampong area with no proper roof parking 😆

[@harithsalleh]

first time watching a full vid from autobuzz. great pacing and presentation style by this dude.

[@engeartv]

Nice & Awesome video guys!! love the shots dat sync with the dialog!! 👍🏼😎

Thanks guys! Your X70 video is literally out of this world! 😂

[@robertevangelista50]

I love the very diverse accents in malaysia... I managed to adapt to it even now that I am back in the philippines..

[@yao8]

Proton is on upper tier now compared to Perodua just based on the pricing. It's like watching a boy turned into a grown business man (albeit some would say he sold out) but still 😁

[@Kyle-kc8cw]

Not really. Perodua just doesn't sell cars, as of now, that is in the same class as all Proton cars. For example, Perodua does not have a vehicle that is in the same segment as the X70, Preve, Perdana, Suprima S and even Persona. So obviously the X70, for example, would sell at a far higher price than Aruze. To make it clearer...for example, the Perodua Aruze is in the same segment as the Honda BRV and the X70 is in the same segment as Honda CRV.

[@roantv3275]

Proton matured because have a new ceo

[@aamaravel2493]

@@Kyle-kc8cw really love to see perodua making sporty cars on par with suprima s, exora which have turbos in them, hopefully they'll make 2 door sport versions of the myvi just like yaris did

[@TheNazreensyah]

Dayum that voice response!! Impressive indeed hahaha especially siti Nurhaliza. I didn't see that coming

[@hanimzurni9737]

Thanks for making this video. Part tunjuk bahagian belakang kereta ni mmg membantu gila nak pujuk ibu minat kereta ni.

[@fleurdewin7958]

Few things you have missed out. You did open the rear hatch, but you did not show the full sized spare wheel which I think is an advantage and the subwoofer that sits on top of the spare wheel. I find the subwoofer placement innovative. You are a skinny dude , that is why you did not have problems with the seat space of the car. I have test driven it in COSE , for a fat human, the 2 silver bars right beside the seat protruding from the center console hogs alot of seat space in reality. The car is consider tall and high seating position. Older folks might find it abit difficult to get in especially people who has knee problems. When I started the car, I tried to hook my phone to the audio player, it reads my Iphone X as IPod , that audio player has no Apple CarPlay or even Android Auto. No Google Map but only Baidu Map. On the move, this car feels like a Mazda CX-5 2.0L , I expected more torque from a turbocharged engine and perhaps a more instant/aggressive throttle response , which makes us easier to change lane during traffic jam. I'm impressed with a few things: 1. 360 degree camera. This is amazing. In this country, alot of motorbikes just like to park right in front or the back of your car in side parking, sometimes blocks your exit. The 360 camera is Godsend. 2. NVH is at continental car level. Excellent soundproof. As good as an Merc E class. Better than BMW 3 series . 3. The top spec Nappa leather is also on another league. No Japanese car other than Lexus has such premium material. 4. The door trim is not made of hard plastic. I can squeeze it , no "tuk tuk tuk" hard plastic sound when you knock on it unlike most Japanese cars or even the other Proton cars. 5. The instrument cluster looks impressive for this kind of price. It looks better than a Honda CRV or even Mazda CX-5 , these are in the same segment as the X70.

[@bongga8]

We poor peasants can only salivate.

[@smash_27]

voice recognition i think better than apple who been struggling for so long. very impressive car

[@erwingobig1954]

Apple just dont care other people, they are kinda racist

[@Kyle-kc8cw]

X70 meant to be sold IN Malaysia, so you've only got a few specific accents to worry about and program it for. On the other hand, Apple sells globally.

[@syahmi518]

@@erwingobig1954 apple is not racist.. It just trash product.. Hahaha..

[@raffralph93]

I’ve watched almost all of the X70 reviews can say this one is really a good one, luar dalam almost covering everything

[@stozoa]

Superb video, nice editing as always.

[@karishmen1145]

started to like the x70 after watched this vdo, BRAVO guys!

[@ji9starrz]

That 360° camera... I’m really impressed! It works just like the one in the BMW 7 series and Rolls Royce Phantom! The resolution isn’t as good though.

[@HuntaKiller91]

Just upgrade the cam to hi res 360 birdview ones in aftermarket for 2-3k..no need to change headunit

[@ji9starrz]

crysisownz A bit risky though, it might not be the same as it’s supposed to be. It requires specific camera mounting angle, and probably some software modifications. Nevertheless, who would’ve thought that a Proton (or rather, a Geely) comes with a feature that not even a Mercedes S-Class has!

[@alifamsyat8646]

Yeah reminds me to RR phantom reviewed by doug

[@bertrandparrikal14]

the one inch window opening is paired with rain detection system so it pops back up when it rains

[@ryanprodigy3529]

Just a slight face lifted model of Geely Boyue but paste proton logo, change driver location to right side and add accent recognition.

[@akinadik07]

Ryan Prodigy Nope. The whole Proton team has tweaked to upgrade the car.

[@weldon29]

I watched this thinking it was a paultan video and then realized something was wrong when I started laughing. Then I realized it is a autobuzz video.
