Proton X70 ; Dedicated Discussion, Owner/ Fan Club Thread

[salik990]

yes but wont that would cost a lot, brand new 1500cc would be $18590 duty alone.

Edited duty would be $18,600 for less than 1500cc

[pwuser159259702854]

Doesn’t it fall in under 1500cc category

[salik990]

Oh yes sorry, u r absolutely right. So the duty under 1500cc is $18,600.

Any news on X50. Are they going to launch it. If yes, any expected date.

[pwuser159259702854]

Probably end of 2021 according to my sources but nothing confirmed as they are more focused on x70 but still it is planned as next car after saga

[salik990]

They will bring some X50 CBU model if their plan is confirm this year end, X50 CKD model by next year.

Momentum motors conveying that X70 deliveries have been delayed by 30 to 45 days. This is getting Extremely frustraring...

We are living through unprecedented times. Everyone is facing these issues.

Proton to eventually redesign bodies of Geely-based models, promises "revolutionary" designs in 5-6 years - paultan.org

I think just as Hyundai Tucson mucked up their launch so have Al-Haj Motors with their Proton X-70.Such lengthy delivery times are just going to turn away potential customers.MG has otherwise messed up their not so khoser launch.Maximum period for a delivery of CKD should not be 3 months.MG hasn't even started CKD. Right now Sportage is winning but demand will wane unless they add a couple of features for their 21/22 models if not some kind of face-lift.Hope Honda brings in the HRV as rumoured by JUL'21.Toyota's Cross is a no brainer and will not sell.

Proton X50 should be a great addition to our local options.
A unit in Malaysia crashed at 180km/h but driver survived. Which other sub-4 million car in Pakistan could do the same?

Proton to investigate viral X50 total loss crash by SA - car was wrecked at 180 km/h otw from KL to JB - paultan.org

[mgalaxy3]

don't believe everything you read.

It was not more than 60 km/hr.

[wasiqshahab94]

not more than 60 km/hr.

lol I hope you're joking. No car gets totaled like this from a 60kph crash.

[shapeesh]

seems like the car slipped or went offroad at high speed and flipped, probably at high speed. you are correct as a 180 kmph frontal impact would literally pulvarize the front end .
This car is however built on the volvo architecture and frame, and volvo are probably the most sersious company when it comes to safety. These car would be less safe than a volvo but still based on the same frame means its much safer than a lot of other cars.

[fazalwahab11375]

the driver might be going at 180 but he definitely braked, lost control and rolled over. By the time he hit any embankment.. he was not going at 180. In other words. the speed at the time of impacts seems much slower.

Even 100 kmph rips a Mercedes apart. I suggest check out crash tests which are conducted at around 50 to 55kmph and see how the ends results look like.

Obviously, X70/ X50 has a 5 star rating and that's no doubt a good one.

sir, cars get totaled much much worse than this at 60km/h.

Check out crash tests of cars on YouTube. Those tests are done at 50-60kph speed. They get almost destroyed on impact, just saving the passengers.

Beyond 60 speed, like even at 100-110kph, if there's a front or side impact (specially head-on), no passenger stays alive, because the crash is that brutal. Cars are obliterated.

yes, and the flipping/rolling over too didn't happen at 180.. that would be too brutal..

Yes sir spot on. Even if it rolled over at 180 speed exactly, it wouldn't be like this..

It rolled over at lower speed after applying brakes, and looks like it didn't hit any object like a pavement or another car. Cause no apparent impact damage.

what happens if we drive proton x70 with non-high octane fuel because of turbo engine

[pwuser159259702854]

Proton has tested it in northern areas where there is no premium fuel so I think normal fuel won’t be a problem

[pwuser161485229729]

It have talked to all available dealerships of proton in the country and there are of the same opinion that it can for on the normal fuel. Hence no hassle of H.Octane in x70
