Minggu lalu Proton telah menyiarkan video pertama berkenaan kereta lumba terbaharunya iaitu Proton S70 yang ‘telah hidup’ dibina oleh pasukan Proton R3 dan bersedia untuk perlumbaan Sepang 1000KM (S1K) pada bulan November nanti. Malam tadi […]

Ahead of its return to the Sepang 1000KM endurance race this year, Proton released some footage of its S70 R3 race car brought to life, and had started to undergo tests. Now, the carmaker has released another video, this time featuring Proton deputy CEO Roslan Abdullah explaining the S70 as the choice of entry.
This video also shows the S70 R3 undergoing its first shakedown session at the Petronas Sepang International Circuit earlier this month, and the sound of the car going along the start/finish straight indicates a naturally aspirated inline-four cylinder engine, which alludes to the 1.6 litre Campro S4PH engine.
Replacing the turbocharged three-cylinder unit in the roadgoing car, the 1.6L Campro S4PH has proven its mettle in past Proton R3 competition cars including the Satria Neo, Preve, Suprima S, Iriz and Saga, cars which have brought Proton to five Sepang 1000KM championships in 2012, 2014, 2017, 2018 and 2019.
In its later installations with the Iriz R3 and the Saga R3 which won the Sepang S1000KM in 2018 and 2019, the engine has become capable of producing up to 200 hp, and this is transmitted to the front driven wheels through a five-speed manual ‘dog box’.
The video by Proton also reveals that the S70 race car is markedly different from the liveried show car that was on display at the Malaysia Autoshow 2024. Its front lip is no longer the item as seen on the show car, now instead an item that is shaped more like those on the Iriz and Saga race cars. ..
The Proton eMas 7 Tour is underway, which will see the upcoming eMas 7 EV (stylised as e.MAS 7) ultimately traverse all states in Malaysia, covering some 2,000 km. With Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Johor done, Proton has announced on Facebook that the tour will head north to Perak, Penang, Kedah and Perlis beginning Friday.
Crucially, the post mentions that the eMas 7 can do 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, which is the same as the Geely Galaxy E5. This pretty much confirms that they both share the same powertrain – a single front motor producing 218 PS (160 kW) and 320 Nm of torque. The Geely offers two battery options – 49.52 kWh with a CLTC range of 440 km and 60.22 kWh with up to 530 km on a single charge.
By the way, 6.9 seconds will actually make the eMas 7 the fastest-accelerating Proton to date, way ahead of the Satria GTi‘s claimed 7.8 seconds (quite different in reality) and the X50 Flagship‘s claimed 7.9 seconds.
The Proton eMas 7, which is the right-hand-drive version of the Geely Galaxy E5, isn’t just a complete rebadge job. Proton says that it has carried out plenty of local testing and had even requested and implemented 49 additional testing processes – some of which are unique to Proton – to ensure the eMas 7 meets both local and global standards. These include tests for load performance and stability control.

If you like wearing the colour black, chances are that you may be partial to it on a vehicle, too. Perodua has teased a model that will be offered in this colour, and despite the darkened image, it doesn’t take much guessing that the model alluded to is the Aruz.
When Perodua previously rolled out an update for the seven-seater SUV in 2021, the revision brought equipment updates along with the Passion Red paint colour, which replaced the Amazon Green shade that was discontinued the year before.
It remains to be confirmed if the arrival of this new black paint option would replace the Passion Red finish, or another choice from the palette, and if the new colour will be exclusive to the top AV variant or be offered more widely.
At present, key hardware specifications for the Aruz remains as it has since its debut, namely with a 2NR-VE 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine producing 101 hp and 131 Nm, driving the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
Equipment currently offered on the Aruz includes 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps, LED taillights, keyless entry and engine start, a built-in toll reader, manual air-conditioning with digital controls and rear vents, a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system, six speaker-audio, six airbags, ABS, EBD, brake assist, VSC, traction control, hill start assist, a reverse camera as well as solar and security window film.
The top AV variant brings automatic LED headlamps, roof rails, SmartLink ..
Based on JPJ data for the first eight months of 2024, the Perodua Alza is dominating the B-segment MPV scene in Malaysia – 28,967 units were registered between January and August, way ahead of the No 1 non-national MPV that is the Mitsubishi Xpander (5,902 units) and the Toyota Veloz (4,433 units).
Launched in July 2022, the second-gen Perodua Alza brought with it the new Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform to allow the 13-year old JDM-based original model to retire. Carrying a 2NR-VE 1.5 litre four-cylinder petrol engine and a D-CVT, Malaysia’s most affordable MPV is priced between RM62,500 and RM75,500.
Three months later, the Alza welcomed an upmarket twin in the form of the Toyota Veloz. Like the Alza, it’s DNGA-based and comes out of the Perodua Manufacturing Sdn Bhd (PMSB) plant in Sungai Choh. The Avanza replacement’s RM20k premium over the top-spec Alza AV gives you a different face, LED DRLs as standard, 17-inch alloys, a 30 mm-higher ground clearance, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charging and a steering wheel adjustable for reach and not just rake, amongst others.
Because the JPJ data only goes up to August and the facelifted Mitsubishi Xpander only launched last month, the sales numbers you see here should be for the original model. First launched in 2020 at RM92k, the Xpander went through a fewpricejumps but remained steadily the best-selling non-national MPV in Malaysia, shifting some 10,000 units annually on average.
