Looking at this car in isolation, I think it's a really good offering. However once you look at the broader market, it can't compete with the Havals and Cherys that undercut it in price.

I don't know but I feel like the designs from Proton are very 2014-2017 era not modern enough. Chery is still the cream of the crop for me And the price as well. Chery comes in at 20k cheaper for a waay faster, waay better car

You are most probably right because the 1st two versions they brought in upon returning to our market are old models in other markets such as Asia for example.... So ya... They are not coming in with competitive offerings in terms of pricing . Being in bed with volvo is not doing enough in convincing Ppl to overlook haval and cherry.

Design wise, it's not good. But it's beats most 7/6 seaters in terms of the seating arrangement, and the boot space is not so bad as I expected. They must just bring face-lift.

MJay be honest, didn't you touch the ground through that centre console? A whole arm 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I agree with joining the queue regarding the pricing, i mean it'll be hard to overlook the Haval & Cherry brands (including Omoda & Beijing) & go straight to this one. Couple of missed opportunities there by Proton regarding the lack of smart phone connectivity, rear light bar & pricing. But to be fair, Proton now looks waaaayyyyy better than it used to when it entred our market almost two decades ago. The seats & centre console have some subtle cues of a Volvo design. My man, you & Ciro are some of the best car reviewers worldwide and the very best in SA. Keep it up.

Reminds me of when GWM and Chery would bring old products that were released years prior in their home countries then bring them over to SA years later labeling them as "New". I guess those companies realised that the strategy doesn't work and therefore brought actual new models. Let's hope Proton will do that in future models 😅

Times live review of this vehicle is not good..bit different to this presenters views though they are agreeing on a lot..Can't see Proton moving many of these..Proton sold 129 units last month and many or most to car hire companies as Proton is distributed in SA by CMH who have ownership of a large car rental company..Still to see one Saga on the road..Good luck to them though.

Not really, there are differences between those 2 cars. Okavango is directly from Geely, but this X90 has gone through some changes made by Proton specifically. Same as the other X70 and X50 models as well. *The new S70 is coming, already launched here in Malaysia. **Design wise, looks older because Geely gave Proton those older models to be changed from left hand drive to right hand drive. Waiting for the facelift models here in Malaysia (still testing on the road).
