We’ve tried Apple CarPlay on the 2025 Proton X70!
As everyone is aware, in the latest update, the Proton X70 C-segment SUV will come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard features for the 2025 model year.
Based on a brief test drive report by a colleague a few weeks ago, it seems that the feature is still not available for use.
Yesterday (October 15, 2024), we had the opportunity to try out the much-anticipated Apple CarPlay connection on the Proton X70 for media test driving purposes.
During the brief period of use, no significant differences were felt compared to the similar systems found in other modern cars.
Menus and applications such as Google Maps or Waze can be easily accessed on the 12.3-inch infotainment screen without much delay, and owners can also choose to use the phrases “Hey Proton” or “Hey Siri” to direct the system to perform specific operations while driving.
Those who are familiar with using Apple CarPlay will understand the importance of this system in a new car, especially when driving in urban areas.
For your information, this wireless Apple CarPlay feature will only be available for the 2025 Proton X70 model through over-the-air updates that will be implemented in stages.
The availability of the Android Auto feature will be announced later on.
