Being a segment-leader means you really have no time to rest on your laurels. If you take a moment off the competition for even a second, something will appear that will unseat you from your position, resulting in not only a loss of face but also a loss of confidence. To that end, the PROTON X70 has continually received small, meaningful updates to keep it ahead of the competition, cementing its position as the definition of a C-segment SUV in the Malaysian market.

However, the last 'minor-change' came in a big way, in the form of a 1.5-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine. Replacing the smooth-operating 1.8-litre 4-cylinder, PROTON claims the new mill offers 20% better fuel efficiency at no cost to refinement and usability (just power and torque). But is that true?
