Proton S70: Variants explained

Proton added a new S70 sedan to its lineup earlier this week with a short gestation period of only one month. Just like the X50, X70, and X90, the new Proton car is also a rebadged Geely model, named the Emgrand. Bearing the tagline "Intelligence that Evolves," the Proton S70 comes equipped with the latest safety features, seamless connectivity, and a turbo drivetrain.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How many variants of the Proton S70 are available?

    Proton offers the S70 in four variants - Executive, Premium, Flagship, and Flagship X, priced between RM 73,800 and RM 94,800.

    Choosing the best Proton S70 variant boils down to desired features, as dimensions and engine remain consistent. Opt for the Executive if features are not a top priority; explore Premium, Flagship, or Flagship X for an advanced, exclusive driving experience.
