Additionally revealed on the Proton Tech Showcase launch at the moment at Proton’s Centre of Excellence in Shah Alam was future fashions. We’ll element the AMA fashions in a separate story quickly; this story focuses on the upcoming X/S fashions, specifically the X70 MC3, X90 MC and S70 MC facelifts.
Born in 2018the X70 was Proton-Geely’s first baby. In 2022 the SUV modified from a four- to a three-cylinder engine (MC1), and 2025 noticed the launch of the MC2with a brand new face and greater display screen. This seems to have carried out little to spice up the ageing SUV’s gross sales (it’s not even within the high 20 year-to-date desk) and the ‘MC3’ designation suggests yet one more facelift relatively than an all-new mannequin.
Shifting on to the X90 and S70, each of that are ready impatiently for his or her first facelifts. The newest Geely Haoyue/Okavango facelift seems to be fairly fierceand just like the X50 facelifthas LED projector headlamps and end-to-end taillights. Right here’s hoping. The S70 MC, you’ve seen testing on the highway.
What’s nearly sure is that every one three fashions will, just like the X50 facelift, go from three to 4 cylinders. As soon as the previous GEP3 TGDi engines run out, the X50 facelift’s new i-GT BHE15TD millwhich the Tanjong Malim plant is already churning out at full steam, ought to go into the engine bays of those three fashions. Proton has not given a timeline, however subsequent yr’s guess, don’t you assume?
