0Limited Edition Proton X70 SE Launched In Malaysia
Only 2,000 units of these Proton X70 SE SUVs will be available.
If you’re looking for a Proton X70 that stands out a little, you might want to consider this newly-launched, limited edition model. It’s called the X70 SE, and Proton is only building 2,000 of them.
The Proton X70 SE is based on the high-spec X70 Premium 2WD variant which DOES NOT come with a sunroof. In most specifications and equipment metrics, it is identical to that variant.
However, this is what the ‘SE’ models adds to the mix:
- exclusive Ocean Blue body colour OR Ruby Red body colour available
- roof, rear spoiler, door mirror caps finished in black
- new 19″ sport rims in a new design
- “SE” emblem on the tailgate
- black Nappa leather seats
- exclusive interior trim finishing
- “SE” specific floor mats
The Proton X70 SE is more expensive than the other variants at RM123,800. That makes it RM4,000 more expensive than the Proton X70 Premium 2WD, upon which it is based.
Besides the list of additions above, you’re also ‘paying’ for is a car that only 1,999 other Malaysians will have. You’re probably also going to be able to get your hands on one of these a little faster than if you placed a booking for the Premium 2WD variant.
Here’s the press release with more.
