On 24 May 2017, Proton Holdings parent company DRB-HICOM announced plans to sell a 49.9% stake in Proton to Zhejiang Geely Automobile Holdings. Alongside the sale of stake, it was announced that Proton's first SUV would be based on the Geely Boyue.[21][22] The Proton X70 launched in Malaysia in December 2018.

It was fully imported from China and featured only minor cosmetic changes inside and out. The most apparent change is that the Proton X70 is right-hand drive while the Geely Boyue is a left-hand drive vehicle.[23] Proton started the local assembly of the X70 in December 2019 with the launch in February 2020.[24][25] The Proton X70 was launched in Pakistan in December 2020.[26]

Farizon FX

edit

The Farizon FX is a 4-door pickup truck based on the Boyue Pro sold from 2020. It features a monocoque design instead of a traditional ladder frame layout like most pickup trucks. It is powered by the same 1.8-litre turbo engine for the Boyue Pro. The truck is claimed to be the first car-based truck in China.[27]

The design of the Farizon FX retains the Boyue Pro's front fascia except the Expanding Cosmos grille. The rear is replaced by a truck bed with an integrated sport bar, wood flooring and a tonneau cover. The interior is largely different from its counterpart, as it has a larger centre console and a slightly different dashboard layout.
