Proton has revealed the first details of its mildly updated 2026 S70 sedan, showcasing a few design tweaks and powertrain changes for the midsize model. The exterior sees revised LED headlights, new 17-inch alloy wheels, and an optional sporty bodykit with red accents, while under the hood the S70 gains a more powerful 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine option.
Why it matters
The S70 is one of Proton's core models, competing in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment. This refresh aims to keep the S70 fresh and appealing to buyers as it faces off against rivals like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. The new engine option in particular should help the S70 stay competitive in terms of performance and efficiency.
The details
Key changes to the 2026 Proton S70 include slightly redesigned LED headlights, now with halogen reflector turn signals instead of the previous integrated LED daytime running lights. The 17-inch alloy wheels also feature a new blade-like spoke design, though the tires have been switched from Goodyear to Giti rubber. An optional sporty bodykit adds 'fangs' around the front air intake, red highlights, and a rear lip spoiler. Inside, the cabin is largely carried over from the current model, retaining the 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen.
- The 2026 Proton S70 is expected to launch later this year.

The takeaway
Proton's updates to the S70 sedan demonstrate the brand's commitment to continuously improving its core models to stay competitive in the midsize segment, even if the changes are relatively minor. The new engine option in particular should help the S70 appeal to buyers seeking more power and performance.
