Proton X70
2018–present · 1.8T TGDI (Geely-derived, direct injection) · 6-speed AT (Aisin) / 7-speed wet DCT
The Proton X70 (2018+) uses a Geely-derived 1.8T TGDI turbocharged direct-injection engine — carbon buildup on intake valves is expected at 60,000–80,000 km. DCT variants require DCT fluid every 40,000 km. The 6-speed Aisin AT is reliable. Early DCT units (2018–2020) had shudder issues; updated calibration from 2021.
