Introduction
The Proton X70 road tax and insurance price is higher than a compact car’s, reflecting its turbo engine and larger SUV value. It’s still very manageable once you know the numbers.
This guide covers the 2026 figures — road tax, average premium, third-party vs comprehensive, NCD and how to pay less. Before you renew, you can compare and renew in minutes on Bjak.
Proton X70 Road Tax Price
Current X70 models use a 1,477cc (1.5L) turbo engine, placing them in the “1,401–1,600cc” band — a flat road tax of RM90 per year in Peninsular Malaysia (road tax is based on engine capacity, not the turbo).
Note: early 2018–2019 units used a 1.8L (1,799cc) engine, which sits in a higher band at around RM280 per year. Check yours with how to check car road tax prices and see what determines road tax prices in Malaysia.
Average Insurance Premium for the X70
With a market value of roughly RM90,000–RM130,000, the X70’s comprehensive premium usually falls around RM2,200–RM3,500 a year — higher than a small car because the sum insured is larger.
Your final price depends on sum insured and driver profile — see how car insurance prices in Malaysia are set.
What Affects Your X70 Premium
The biggest factors are your car’s sum insured, your NCD, your location and any add-ons. As a higher-value SUV, the X70’s premium is driven mostly by its market value.
Dig deeper with the 7 factors that determine your premium and how the premium is calculated.
Third-Party vs Comprehensive Price
Third-party is the cheapest legal option but won’t repair your own X70 — a real risk for a higher-value SUV. Comprehensive covers accidents, theft and fire to your own car.
Compare in pros & cons of third-party insurance and comprehensive insurance explained. For an X70, comprehensive is strongly recommended.
NCD Example
Your NCD can reduce your premium by up to 55% after five claim-free years. On an X70, that’s a substantial saving each renewal.
Example: a base comprehensive premium of RM3,000 with full 55% NCD drops to about RM1,350. Read the guide to NCD rates and how safe driving saves more.
