The 2021 Proton X70 SE has no sunroof, what special features are offered at RM 123k?

A limited run of 2,000 units of the 2021 Proton X70 SE has been launched on 22 July 2021. Price starts at RM 123,800 without SST. (SST exemption ends on 31.12.2021).

Still running the same 1.8 TGDI engine, the Proton X70 SE is based on the Proton X70 Premium (RM 119,800), so there’s no sunroof. Only the Proton X70 Premium X (RM 122,800) comes with a sunroof.

Currently the most expensive version of the Proton X70, what does the 2021 Proton X70 have to offer over the regular variants?

1. Special colour

There’s only one special colour for the Proton X70 SE and that is “Ocean Blue”. The X70 SE is also available in Ruby Red, but that’s a colour also available to the regular Proton X70.

2. New set of wheels (19 inch)

Still 19 inches in diameter, the Proton X70 SE’s wheels come in a new design that’s visually more contrasting with the dim of the wheel well.

3. Darkened interior trim

The interior of the regular Proton X70 has been desaturated and darkened to provide a different atmosphere.

 

It’s not all gloom and doom though as the black Nappa leather seats get red and white stitching.

4. SE emblems

As most special edition vehicles, the 2021 Proton X70 SE is adorned with several “SE” badges. Some on the outside and some on the inside.
