Braking Performance and Brake Fade on Long Trips

On long highway drives o r steep descents, some SUV owners worry about brake feel and fade. What is the Proton X70’s braking performance like in real use — does it maintain consistent stopping power under load, and have owners reported any problems with brake fade o r early wear?

On paper, the X70 comes with disc brakes all around and ABS, which should deliver good stopping power suitable for its class.

Owners generally feel that braking performance in everyday use is adequate and confidence-inspiring.

However, there have been individual owner reports of brake-related sensations, such as mild pulsation o r vibration in the brake pedal at low mileage, o r feeling a slight difference in pedal response after brake pad/rotor replacement.

These are isolated experiences and not widespread complaints, but they suggest occasional brake feel o r setup issues that some drivers notice — possibly depending on service quality o r pads/rotors used.

Summary:
✅ Generally adequate braking performance for daily and highway use
⚠️ Few owner reports describe mild pedal vibration o r feel differences
