2020 Proton X70 CKD, here’s why the Geely Boyue Pro is not for Malaysia

The newly launched 2020 Proton X70 CKD garnered a lot of attention due to its enhanced features and most importantly lower price tag. However, some netizens were harping on the fact that the improved 2020 X70 CKD is not the Geely Boyue Pro. Well for starters, to introduce a new design on a model that’s only been on the market for a little over a year does not make business sense in the automotive industry. The X70 is still fresh to the market and is not due for a model revamp just yet. However,

Special edition Geely Boyue gets Lotus ride & handling, but not Proton X70?

Lotus' famed ride and handling prowess - long the pride point of Proton cars - was something not found on the cushy Proton X70.

Updated chassis, better handling Built to commemorate the 19th Asian Games - set to take place in Hangzhou, China, next year - the most notable update this special edition Boyue gets is its chassis updates.

Outside of China, the Boyue is also known as the Atlas, Azkarra, or Emgrand X7 Sport. Most Malaysians would not need an introduction for this SUV as it is sold here as the Proton X70.

Geely could be introducing a Boyue Pro-based pick-up truck soon, as we recently came across photos of what appears to be their upcoming truck. According to overseas media outlets, the new pick-up truck could be called “Yuancheng FX”, which loosely translates to “Long Distance FX”. If it looks funny to you, don’t be surprised, as it appears that Geely has tacked on a truck bed to the rear of the Boyue, transforming the SUV into a legitimate pick-up truck.

2020 Proton X70 CKD – What new features will it get from the Geely Boyue?

The Geely Boyue has been on sale in China since 2016, and received a mid-life update in 2018. It received yet another update for 2020, which is the model you see here. For its 2020 model year, Geely has streamlined the variants on sale – the company now offers just 4 variants of the Boyue in China, down from the massive 13 variants a few years prior. Then there’s the Boyue Pro, a more sophisticated version of the regular Boyue. The Boyue Pro is differentiated by new headlights and tail lights, m

No.1 in Malaysia, how's sales of the Geely Boyue/Proton X70 in China in 2020?

SUVs are all the rage these days and car manufacturers are more than happy to comply, as larger cars like SUVs offer more profit margins than a subcompact hatchback or sedan. In fact, this trend isn’t just limited to Malaysia – it is also apparent in countries like China. So much so that buyers in China collectively bought 1,129,042 new SUVs in December alone.

Following the debut of the Geely Coolray (Proton X50 to us) in the Philippines, the Hangzhou-based company has teased its next model, the Azkarra. The model is visually identical to the China market Geely Boyue Pro, but what sets it apart from the Boyue Pro is what lies under the skin. Unlike the current Boyue Pro, the Azkarra can be had with a 48V Electric Motor Synergy (EMS) system, making it a mild hybrid. Thanks to the mild hybrid system, the Azkarra also boasts an e-AWD drivetrain – the pet

2021 Proton V70: We pit the Geely Jiaji-based MPV against the Exora!

If you're looking for a 7-seater family MPV, you could do much better than the aging Proton Exora. Really, in the 11 years that it's been on sale, things never really changed much - it's always had passé looks, dated features and a thirsty, tired powertrain. Possibly the only good thing about the Exora is how about much space you get for the price - 7-seats starting at RM 59,800? Where else can you find that?
