Proton rolled out the X50 in Malaysia on October 27, 2020, and this B-segment SUV stands as a major collaboration effort between Proton and Geely. Under the hood, you'll find a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and it comes in three trims: Standard, Executive, and Flagship. What really makes it tick? Think advanced driver-assistance systems, smart connectivity features, and a sporty exterior that turns heads.
If you're shopping around the B-SUV space in Malaysia, there's no shortage of rivals to cross-shop. The Honda HR-V and Toyota Corolla Cross are big players here, each bringing their own strengths to the table. My two cents? Always hit the road for a test drive first—match the features to your daily needs and budget before signing on the dotted line.
The X50 isn't just another addition to Proton's lineup; it's beefed up their offerings with a solid value-for-money option for Malaysian buyers. More than that, it’s a tangible showcase of how local automotive know-how, when paired with international partnerships, can deliver the goods.
