- Due to numerous viewer requests, we did a Genting Hill Climb with the Proton X70 Premium. How does Malaysia's top - selling SUV fare on our favourite hill climb? See for yourself, and enjoy!
*Note: Some videos may have been sped up and some footage are superimposed for "dramatic effect" in our channel.
I just love that camera movements showing how fast the SUV is going up the hill. Absolutely love it.

Ken Block from US
But we have uncle khong from MALAYSIA!
I love how uncle was trying to drive fast to test the car while maintaining safety at the highest priority.
Wow... You have stepped up the game in the camera angles!
Oh wow.. this x70 is worth the price actually.
And uncle.. i love the extra camera view from outside of the car. I see this is the beginning for more better video.. good jobs uncle👍👍
Mr Khong, every cars in your hand are like Racing Car, fantastic!!!!! hahaha
Absolutely fabulous active drive past shot! And given its an SUV from a new automobile player, it's definitely a commendable performance. Great choice of shots sir, and love to see more of these creative shots in your future vlogs.
Waiting for Genting test drive with Proton X50..
Lol there's 3rd view camera from outside, cantik sekali!
Uncle khong can you drive the new saga with manual transmission to the hill? Would love to see some heel and toe action and also to see how well does a manual saga handles the mountain.
jblue agree! I want it too
@@stefanoceandu all we do now is hope uncle khong will fulfil our wish LOL
Yesss!!!
@@HZ97 YAAS!
@@heehee7076 it's always sad to see the manuals being left out😫
Really good drive uncle. Honking to allow other driver know our existance. Many will think this honking is scaring people off but it is actually opposite. Just to warn some drivers who might not well aware of their surroundings. Ironically some drive will get intimidated when we honk them but I still do it if really necessary. This X70 have solid chassis that helps in you handling so firmly through bents.
Nice touch with 3rd camera confirmed just how fast you were driving 😀....Great vid YS👍
I ve taken it to heights u cannot acheive in malaysia.. Pakistani northern areas are very ruff n rigid.. Took it to shogran and babusar too and hunza valley .. Only got a wet clutch warning after driving through floods. Other day after it dried out it vanished.. X70 was gud
Love the new camera angle!..looks like traffic police hidden behind the tree...haha
Hahaha
woww! camera angles is nice, and good looking wrist watch uncle khong. driving skill no need to mention, always on top!
Uncle delivering tofu to genting again
Impressive production improvements. Drive-bys etc. Kudos bro.

Thank you Daniel, for noticing that we are actually careful drivers.

Professional driver, salute you uncle 👍👍👍
Proton is getting better. 💪🏼
no doubt of this proton x70...this car is amazing..from outside view can really see it's stable taking all the corner..performance is acceptable for SUV...very impressed
Such a nice car. You handle it really well. Thanks for sharing. Terima kasih.
new front and tail camera angle, i just LOVE IT !!
Wow you are excellent driver uncle, the SUV purs like a sports car while you are at the wheel. Can't wait to have the Azkarra version here in the Philippines.
Uncle is my fav car reviewer 👌very down to earth person ascan see he even reading comments 😆
Thanks for your support.
i like the way u put cameras on the road..maybe can collaborate with Genting management utilizing their cameras for better video shooting..
love this channel, it makes me wanna drive all the time
Thank you, and welcome. Please share with your friends too. I am 68, and don't really know how long I can continue to do this!
Lajunye uncle,.. Takut la tengok uncle bwk.. Slow ckit uncle😝

Rally style camera angle Uncle Khong.. 👍
uncle drive mmg power.. mmg betul2 former rally driver
Uncle...well done....actually im keep considering to have 1 x70. now u make me easier to decide it. Thanks uncle
The new camera angle from 3rd person is perfect!
Looking forward to more content like this!
Thank you for the video Uncle YS. You're the best! 👍🏻😘
uncle..your driving skill superb but also scary...haha..my feet keep hitting the brake even tho just watching your video ..
It's the difference in our threshold of control.
Wow uncle Khong... Awesome drive sir... Nice review of the car by a legend 😀
Cool, Uncle !
Uncle , very professional driving skill.
Excellent driving and thoughtful with jovial mixed comments are Hallmark of your video... keep it up..we visited genting highlands in July 2019 by van during our exotic trip to beautiful nation MALAYSIA...
Thank you - and may we know where you are from? Thanks for watching, and please stay to enjoy our other videos.
2:08 typical Perodua that can't overtaking a bus and can't even control itself hahaha 😂😂😂😂
Uncle nie mmg best!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The X70 drives extremely well . Consider its price 👍
You make me lovely this car......tq legend
Fantastic drive,can never go wrong with your comment
uncle should also show the speed on the speedometer. i want to know how fast you climb up the hill 😂😂
... speeding up the hill in misty surrounding and wet roads ...he must be one hell of a good driver
nice camera movement.. thumbs up
Uncle driving skills can easily makan the younger generation nowdays
Good review YS. Could you share thoughts of comparing between x70 and cx5 on both your Genting run?
The intro is basically better than the proton official launch video
I hope you can test drive the X70 CKD when it's launch early next year.. I read they will be using the 1.5 TGDi with 7 Speed DCT and also Proton Ride and Handling instead of MIRA UK handling....
The CKD is already out.
@@YSKhongDriving They just started production, so maybe will hit the road by the 1Q of 2020?
Top gear : the stig
Malaysia : uncle khong initial d
when camera at outside, don't seem to bodyroll when uncle take apex, x70 handling is superb
enjoyed your video. uncle definitely put extra effort on the camera views. Excellent !
Hi uncle ys maybe you can do a comparison and give your judgement of each suv doing genting climb ie Mazda CX-5, Honda CR-V, Nissan x-trail, Volkswagen Tiguan with proton x70
Hahaha, good suggestion, but we are doing qualitative testing, not quantitative, so results will be hotly disputed. I am a peaceful person, looking to live a peaceful life, hahaha.
Feel exciting when Uncle KS driving so fast and swiftly when going downhills, especially this SUV is bumpy and unstable when going fast to cornering...
Phew...
I hit my imaginary brake while watching this video 😫😩
Hahaha, one man's threshold is another man's nightmare! That is because my threshold of control is higher than yours. I know exactly what you mean. The cure is to move that threshold up! Thanks for sharing your comments. And thanks for watching too.
YS Khong Driving yes Mister! Seeing and actually sit behind the wheel is two different experience altogether. Thanks for you insight man. I really appreciate it! 🙌🏼
It'll be nice to get a feedback on how the engine & gearbox perform on those demanding hill climb
Also great if they would one day adopt the dashboard of the Bayou Pro - that would be lovely added premium to have - haha without affecting cost too much ofc.
Genting, try Mount KK, Kundasang, Kennigau, and Tambunan la. Then you'll know why Sabahan need and have that many 4x4 cars.
I have been there.
Hi Uncle Khong, can you do a video about How to use the + and - from the transmission box, also secondly, how to use a pedal shifter? i can't seems to find video in youtube that can do a good explanation about this 2. it would be great if you could make this video going uphill in genting. Thanks :)
Actually there is really nothing to show, which explains why there is no video by anybody.
It's about selecting the right gear to engage for each corner; same with the paddle shifters. The use of plus minus and paddles are on the same principle of using gears in a manual.
Go drive a manual transmission.
i notice the rear of this X70 is borrowing design from Kia Seltoe, though I only notice a fair bit of body roll during some cornering, with saying that the car is sound like struggling in high rev area.
nice camera angle uncle.. video definitely deserves a thumb up and subscribe :)
Uncle YS, I hope that's the bosch wiper haha!
Love the new video works, great work behind the scene team!
Hahaha, you can compare the two videos and see if it is the same, hahaha.
Thanks.
@@YSKhongDriving young viewer was so thrilled with the video. He loves it.
Uncle, do you usually turn off the electronic nannies when doing the climb? How intrusive were they in keeping the car in check through the high speed run? I still would've liked if Proton/Geely put shifter paddles on the steering at least & top spec X70 deserves a 4wd in my opinion. 1.7 ton for an SUV is not too bad, I once drove my dad's Land Cruiser that's close to 3 tonne to Genting & that will put your fear into God if you go faster than 80km/h hahaha.
Ok, I will try it answer this long comment: I normally don't turn them off - some cars don't allow that anyway. The TRC and ESC's work on speed and steering angle sensing, generally, and as long as you keep your steering angles decent, the system does not kick in. Once or twice in my tests I have seen the lights blink, and felt it kick in, but that was perhaps due to a wet surface or I went in a little too hot, but it is momentary only. I would say it is okay to have them there just as a reassurance, but it does not really matter to me.
The weight, in today's context, is slightly high, but only by a little. I am sure subsequent models will be about a 100 kg less, at least; the current value package is truly unbeatable though.
As for AWD, it is a costing strategy. I too would like AWD and top spec, but cost would be higher. Honda uses the same strategy of using fwd for the top of the range. Who knows, perhaps top of range with top trim and AWD may sell even better. Let's see who dares!
YS Khong Driving hehe sorry for the long-winded comment but I also really appreciate the equally long reply 😬 I agree with your last statement. Here’s to hoping that Proton would finally push other manufacturers to provide even better value for money-to-specs cars for some of those brands out there have been resting on their laurels for far too long without really innovating/giving that many options for consumers.
Anyway, welcome to the channel: look forward to more great comments from you.
Amazing review. Awesome
haha a proton SUV video, more views than other videos, proves that ppl love it. Taking my x70 to touge with some modded cars tonight 😂 hopefully i can keep up
Hahaha. Be careful though.
my palms are sweaty from watching this 😅.
Good job uncle! Love it
awesome, i like proton x70
Uncle,superb driving!..
Very smooth car and like the suspension. 2 key drawback for me 1) boot space is small; and 2) the steering is too light and feels less confident when driving at higher speed - wish they would make the steering heavier as with most Continental cars to give that added confident and premium feel.
1.8T in action, this suv can smoke many expensive car in malaysia uphill.
Love this uncle.. cool guy...
Experienced old timer guy.Nice to sit as a front passenger rather than to sit in going to die or too safe drivers.
Hi uncle, you really did almost glurp the whole bottle of water. That’s some thirsty work. 😅😅
Hahaha, means the car is good? For SUV we need stronger muscles, lol.
Hai uncle..can u do d same thing with x50 and show us how to use the manual gear exactly before n while u drive the car..how to shift the gear etcetera..etcetera.
17:00 650 Spyder and a Lotus Exige
Uncle, did u put the cameras on tree?lol
More of the 3rd person camera angle pls !!! Really enjoyed this video 👍🏻 Cheers Uncle !!!
We need more third persons.
uncle take the satria neo for a spin in the hills..
Hahaha, good car, but hard to get one.
will love to see another camera that let us see the speed meter..
Me too, but ........
@@YSKhongDriving i might know what you mean
good job uncle ys...
video shooting getting closer with Taiwanese reviewer.
I like ur video that not too much bias to manufacturers.
Thank you. The Taiwanese channels make more money. Over here we are very poor, hahaha.
like ur review on x70 😊
Thank you 😃
Great review!
Cool Uncle!
Nais sir! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Would you be testing and comparing out the new 1.5 x70 to the old 1.8 x70 engine sir ?
Uncle khong next vdeo show meter ok?🤭
Maybe in your future videos, you can put a speed indicator on the video just so we know how fast you're going so that we can tell whether the car can take the speeding and cornering or not .. hehe
Hahaha. We are going very slowly.
Uncle please bring up Proton X50 to genting after this.
wahh uncle relax lah drive...my jantung stop for a while..
I was going slow...
Is that the dct variant btw I like proton x70 although it doesn't have in Indonesia anymore but before they have proton but now not anymore
I think so.
Nice
I'll wait for uncle to test the little brother X50 later. Only if uncle Khong approve. i will buy.
Hahaha, thanks for the compliment.
