A Preview of the Future Proton X70: Geely Boyue Celebrates 10th Anniversary with Champion Edition and Flyme Auto Upgrade

Geely's evergreen SUV, the Boyue, has officially reached its 10-year milestone. To celebrate the occasion, the company has unveiled the official images of the Boyue 10th Anniversary Champion Edition.

Beyond a fresh premium paint finish, the Champion Edition brings significant interior technology upgrades that represent a clear step forward.

Exclusive "Time Blue" Paint

Visually, the Champion Edition retains the bold and muscular design language of the current Boyue (based on the Boyue L design language). The standout feature is the new exclusive "Time Blue" paint colour.

According to Geely, this elegant blue shade draws inspiration from the sky and deep ocean, conveying a sense of stability, calmness, and vastness. The wheelbase remains at 2,707 mm, with Geely highlighting an impressive space efficiency of 85.4% and up to 37 storage compartments — reinforcing its reputation as a benchmark for practicality in the segment.

Major Cockpit Upgrade: Flyme Auto Arrives

The biggest highlight of this anniversary edition lies in the cabin. In addition to exclusive "10th Anniversary" badges, the tech suite has received a substantial upgrade.

• Flyme Auto Intelligent Cockpit: Now equipped with the highly praised Flyme Auto OS, delivering smoother operation and a refined user interface.
• GEEA 3.0 Electronic Architecture: Enables significantly faster and more responsive intelligent systems.
• ADAS: Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System with 11 active safety functions, including Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA).

Powertrain: Proven 1.5T + 7DCT Powertrain

The mechanical specifications remain unchanged, retaining the familiar and reliable setup.

• Engine: 1.5-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine
• Output: 133 kW (181 PS) / 290 Nm
• Transmission: 7-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (7DCT)
• Fuel Efficiency: 6.44 L/100 km (WLTC)
• Top Speed: 198 km/h

Editor's Take: What Does This Mean for Malaysia? 

The locally sold Proton X70 received its 2026 facelift in January 2026. While it has not yet fully adopted the Boyue L's design, the integration of Flyme Auto in Geely models hints at the future direction for Proton's infotainment system (developed by ACO Tech).

If you feel the current X70's technology is lagging behind, this Boyue 10th Anniversary Champion Edition may well be a preview of what's coming to Proton in the near future.
