Is a three-pot powerful enough for the Proton X70? And is it refined enough to retain the SUV's 'big car' feel? All this in our review of the new 2022 model.
, and the first thing I’m sure you’ll want to know is if little three-cylinder engine powerful enough to move this big SUV. I’ll just stop you right there: it is. But wait, don’t go yet – there’s so much more to this engine than that.
Right off the bat, one thing is clear – the X70 has lost none of its ability to isolate its occupants from the unpleasantness of internal combustion. The latest model remains remarkably free of vibration and, at a cruise, is so quiet to the point of being almost inaudible. This despite the fact that three-cylinder engines are inherently unbalanced.
What about performance? Well, when you’re driving it normally the X70 feels very similar to before. Under partial throttle the car still responds quickly to your inputs, getting you up to speed very easily. I mean, it’s a turbocharged engine, what else were you expecting? Other than the new engine, this just feels like any other X70 to drive. There are no suspension changes, so the car still feels quite soft and the steering quite vague. Okay, there’s a decent amount of grip, even on this front-wheel-drive model , but this is still nowhere near a sporty SUV.
