MG HS has some advantages over Proton X70 due to its extensive features and a more powerful engine but it is a lot more expensive than the X70 which makes it a less desirable option.
Hyundai Tucson is also a competitor which offers premium features that the X70 lacks but they do not fall into the same price bracket, making Proton X70 a cheaper and more affordable option.
