The newly launched Proton S70 pricing has been announced. Starting from RM73,800, Proton is also offering buyers 5-years unlimited mileage warranty, financing interest rates from 2.34% p.a., 6 times free labour service, and a pedasss new look to boot.

Fuhhh, spicy!

At it’s official launch at Axiata Arena, Proton unveiled it’s first new sedan since the 2016 Proton Persona. This C-segment sedan looks like it’ll be undercutting the popular Honda City and Toyota Vios, with it’s super competitive pricing.

 

This beast brings high tech features found in luxury cars to the masses

Similar to the Proton X50, the S70 boasts high tech features. You can control your car remotely via the PROTON Link app, taking out the paranoia of whether or not you’ve locked your car, and making those torturous days of waiting for the AC to start cooling absolutely irrelevant.

All the variants also comes with 8″ or 12.3″ inch touchscreen monitors, and the Flagship & Flagship X variants gives you voice command options, as well as being 4G and Wi-Fi enabled.

In long balik kampung drives, nobody needs to fight over who gets to charge their phones first, as the S70 comes with wireless charger and 5 USB ports. Safety is also enhanced with 13 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), like Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, 360 degree camera with 3D display, tyre pressure monitoring system, and even Traffic Sign Information notifies you of the speed limit where there’s a traffic sign in your vicinity.

 

Proton S70 pricing easily competes with the likes of Honda City & Toyota Vios
