Does the heavy weight of the Proton X70 affect fuel average and performance in Pakistan?

The Proton X70 is heavier than many competitors in its segment. Pakistani users often complain about low fuel economy and sluggish acceleration, particularly with full passengers and luggage. How much does the vehicle’s weight impact fuel consumption, engine stress, and overall performance in local driving conditions?

Yes — the X70 is on the heavier side for its class, with a kerb weight around 1,660–1,675 kg.

Fuel economy: In Pakistan, owners typically report ~10–12 km/l fuel average in city/highway driving, which is decent for a turbo SUV of this size but not outstanding.

Performance: The X70’s 177 hp / 255 Nm engine is capable, but the weight means it doesn’t feel super peppy — it accelerates smoothly rather than aggressively.

Real-world: Some real users share that fuel consumption in heavy traffic can feel less efficient common with heavier vehicles, though highway fuel averages improve noticeably.

Bottom line: The weight does modestly impact fuel economy and acceleration, but this is typical for SUVs in this segment and not usually a deal-breaker for everyday use.
