The Proton S70 will finally be launched in Malaysia next week on 28 November! This was revealed by Proton itself on its official website, and you can even register your interest online for the upcoming C-segment sedan now.

To recap, four different variants of the S70 are offered: Executive, Premium, Flagship, and Flagship X, which is the model you see here. All variants of the S70 are also powered by the same 1.5L turbo engine that produces 150PS and 226Nm of torque paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

In the safety side of things, the S70’s ADAS is said to be similar to the X90’s, albeit with the omission of Auto Park Assist (APA) and Emergency Lane Keep Assist (ELKA). That being said, this is still a very sophisticated ADAS, especially for a C-segment sedan. Not only does it have 12 different sensors, it also supports Intelligent Cruise Control, Lane Centering Control, Lane Change Assist, and even Traffic Sign Information.

However, it’s worth noting that only the top two models of the S70 – Flagship and Flagship X, with the latter adding on a sunroof – are equipped with ADAS. You don’t get these active safety features with the base Executive or mid-tier Premium models. Nonetheless, at least the inclusion of six airbags is standard across the range.
