Proton X70, the first ever SUV made its public debut during the 2018 Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS) which was held at the Malaysian International Trade & Exhibition Centre (MITEC) in Kuala Lumpur recently.
This is the first time on displayed to a public environment like KLIMS and many visitors took their first opportunity to have a closer look at both the inside and outside of PROTON’s newest model.
Aside from having five units on display, PROTON also prepared special areas to give visitors a unique hands-on experience of the technology and equipment fitted to its newest model. For instance, a full scale half-cut model has been prepared to show critical areas where the body has been reinforced to make it safer in an accident. Display panels housing the touchscreen from the interior of the Proton X70 have also been prepared to demonstrate its usability and allow visitors to try the voice command system.
PROTON also gave KLIMS visitors a chance to experience the advanced driver assist systems offered on the Proton X70 without having to go for a test drive. A Virtual Reality (VR) area will simulate how systems like the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) work in real life, giving a preview of the sensations a driver will feel when they are activated.
Proton X70 is set to be launched on 12 December 2018 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and the event promises to be a spectacular introduction for the newest Proton model as the company seeks to end 2018 on a high note before starting 2019 on a strong footing.
Recently PROTON announced it had received a 5-star rating in the ASEAN NCAP vehicle assessment test and as an Energy-Efficient Vehicle (EEV) by the JPJ for Proton X70.
“PROTON is pleased to announce the launch date of the Proton X70 has been set for 12 December 2018. A lot of hard work has occurred behind the scenes leading up to this event as we want to make sure everything is in place to show Malaysians our new model marks a wholesale change in the company. We will also be starting delivery of customer cars immediately after the launch so those who have shown faith in us by booking their units early will be rewarded,” added Abdul Rashid Musa.
