  • 7-speed DCT

New non-turbo S70

  • No turbo
  • ~120 hp / ~150 Nm (as stated)
  • CVT with a different feel

Reviewer’s framing

The reviewer suggests Proton “deletes” features rather than redesigning everything. Repeated omissions include:

  • No 360° camera
  • No turbo
  • Some additional items (unspecified)
  • Analog meter cluster instead of fully digital
  • Mentions AEB as potentially removed: “apart from AEB and a few other items” (wording as captured in the summary)

User experience / driving impressions (from the test drive section)

Acceleration feel

  • Stationary acceleration described as having no noticeable delay (RPM rises quickly).

Steering / driving character

  • Sports mode changes the driving character.
  • Reviewer compares throttle/feel to European marques:
    • More “linear/controlled”
    • Less “oversensitive” than some Japanese cars

Ride comfort & cabin feel

  • Reviewer likes sedan driving more than expected; feels stable and not “empty” (not exposed).
  • Claims NVH is better than expected for a ~RM60k class car.

Handling

  • Not “made for handling,” but still described as stable at higher speed.

Turning

  • Mentions a rather small turning radius.

Fuel economy claim

  • Engine family said to be the same as the 2026 Saga (per the video).
  • Claimed fuel efficiency:
    • Saga up to ~20 km/L
    • S70 estimate: ~17 km/L
  • Reviewer notes it’s not official—an estimate until Proton data is released.

Pros (as stated)

  • Much lower price (~RM60k) while keeping much of the S70’s “premium” vibe.
  • 500 L boot (big practicality advantage vs Myvi ~277 L).
  • Premium-feeling interior (soft-touch dashboard, leather seats on Prime, and a non-hollow cabin feel).
  • Wireless CarPlay + Android Auto (called a “deal breaker” by the reviewer).
  • Strong ADAS coverage (6 airbags + multiple alerts/sensors).
  • Good comfort, stable driving, and better-than-expected NVH.
  • Promising fuel economy estimate (~17 km/L).

Cons / omissions mentioned

  • No turbo (lower power vs the higher turbo S70 variant).
  • No 360° camera (only reverse camera).
  • Not fully digital instrument cluster (analog needle).
  • No electric seats.
  • No lowering armrest.
  • Reviewer can’t confirm every deletion Proton made, but repeatedly cited omissions include:
    • Turbo
    • 360° camera
    • Some other items (including AEB, mentioned as possibly removed)

Overall verdict (concise recommendation)

For shoppers under RM60,000, the video concludes the Proton S70 1.5L IGT non-turbo is worth buying because it offers:

  • A much larger boot (500 L)
  • A more premium-feeling cabin than expected
  • Strong ADAS coverage
  • Good comfort and stability

And you only sacrifice some premium tech (such as 360° camera, likely AEB, and the fully digital cluster) and give up turbo performance.

Recommendation

Buy if your priority is practicality + premium feel + feature list at ~RM60k, and you’re okay with non-turbo performance and missing 360° camera.
