Proton X90 offers flexible seven-seat practicality for Malaysian families

Measuring 4.83 metres long and 1.9 metres wide, the X90 has the substantial stance expected of a large family SUV. Its tall body, long wheelbase and upright proportions create a balanced, confident shape, while the prominent grille and neatly integrated lighting give the front end a clear identity.

The 2+2+3 seating layout makes the cabin especially practical for families, with two individual seats in the second row and three seats at the back. A 12.3-inch centre display, 10.3-inch digital instrument panel, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep the dashboard modern and functional. Dual-zone automatic air-conditioning and vents for both rear rows are particularly useful in Malaysia’s hot weather, while seven charging ports help passengers keep their devices powered.

The 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 181 PS and 290 Nm, with peak torque available from 2,000 to 3,500 rpm. That broad torque band is suited to everyday urban driving and open-road overtaking, while the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission sends power to the front wheels. The figures point to a sensible balance between usable output and the needs of a full-size seven-seat SUV.

A 2,805 mm wheelbase provides a solid foundation for the three-row, seven-seat layout. With every seat in use, the 257-litre luggage area can handle everyday bags; folding the rear seats expands capacity to as much as 2,050 litres. This wide range makes the cabin easy to adapt between carrying passengers, groceries and larger household items.

The safety package covers key everyday needs with stability control, traction control, brake assist and tyre-pressure monitoring. Front, front-side and curtain airbags add occupant protection, while front and rear parking sensors work with a 360-degree camera to make positioning this 4.83-metre SUV easier in tight car parks.

The petrol powertrain is paired with a 60-litre fuel tank. That capacity is practical for inter-state travel and gives owners a useful buffer between fuel stops, particularly on routes where stations are spread farther apart.
