Proton has begun ushering in the next chapter of its sporty sedan with the arrival of the 2026 Proton S70 at authorised 3S and 4S showrooms nationwide. Ahead of its official launch, Malaysians can now preview the latest evolution of the model, with bookings officially opening from 7 February 2026.

Since its debut, the Proton S70 has proven to be a strong performer in the market, recording more than 38,000 units sold to date. Its success has been driven by broad appeal, attracting first-time buyers as well as those upgrading from previous vehicles, with particularly strong interest from younger drivers seeking performance, technology, and modern design in a single package.

Developed under Proton’s “Intelligence that Evolves” philosophy, the 2026 S70 introduces meaningful improvements across performance, styling, connectivity, and safety. These updates are aimed at delivering a more responsive and efficient driving experience, while raising standards for intelligent features within its segment.

At the heart of the S70’s sporty character is its elevated performance. The sedan is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-litre i-GT engine paired with a 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission, producing 181PS and 290Nm of torque. This refined powertrain enables a 0–100km/h sprint in just 7.5 seconds, while maintaining an impressive fuel consumption figure of 5.7L/100km. Improved calibration results in smoother gear changes and sharper responses, balancing everyday usability with engaging performance.

Styling updates further enhance the S70’s dynamic presence. LED headlamps with Daytime Running Lamps, newly designed 17-inch alloy wheels, and a refreshed aerokit sharpen its exterior profile. Inside, a black-themed cabin with refined finishes reinforces the sedan’s contemporary, driver-focused feel.

Connectivity remains a key highlight, with a 12.3-inch infotainment display supporting wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Intelligent voice interaction and enhanced digital features are designed to make every journey more intuitive and connected, placing convenience firmly at the centre of the driving experience.

Safety continues to be a major focus for Proton. The 2026 S70 is equipped with 13 Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, including Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. These systems work together to improve driver awareness, reduce risk, and provide greater confidence on the road.

With these comprehensive upgrades, the 2026 Proton S70 strengthens its position as a standout option for Malaysian drivers seeking a sporty yet practical sedan. Bookings are now open with a RM500 fee at authorised Proton showrooms, allowing customers to secure priority ownership ahead of the official launch on 11 February 2026.

To support the rollout, Proton will conduct a nationwide campaign featuring showroom activities, digital engagement, and media showcases, giving customers deeper insight into what the new S70 has to offer.
