The vehicle is sold under different names in various markets such as Atlas, Emgrand X7 Sport or Azkarra, as well as Proton X70 in Malaysia which is subtly different in terms of cosmetics from the actual Boyue. The X70 is considered a market leader back in its home with super strong sales and has helped Proton to regain its title as the second bestselling car brand in Malaysia while contributing to the 1 million global sales of its donor– the Geely Boyue. Proton X70 is also on the verge of being introduced in Pakistan, as the SUV was just unveiled to media yesterday and is set to make an official debut in a digital event on the 18th of this month.

The company recently celebrated the million-unit milestone by introducing a special edition Boyue that adorned Proton’s Infinite Weave grille instead of Geely’s signature “expanding cosmos” grille. Geely says that Boyue may have been born as a Chinese domestic SUV, but its success outside of China has made it a global powerhouse and the company is expecting great things for the future.

The Geely Boyue-based Proton X70 that will begin to be assembled in Pakistan before June 2021 will also contribute to the global Boyue sales. The vehicle will reportedly be priced competitively and with an array of convenience and safety features, backed by an industry-first 5-years/ 150,000km warranty, is expected to do well in Pakistani market.
