Launched in July, the 2025 Proton X50 facelift has wasted no time finding buyers. With sales now well over the 5,000-unit mark, the heavily-facelifted model is Malaysia’s hottest SUV at present.
And why wouldn’t it’s? Attractively priced between RM86k and RM109k (inclusive of a RM4,000 early-bird rebate), the brand new automotive looks set to emulate its predecessor‘s runaway success, with a brand new BHE15TD i-GT 1.5 litre turbo four-cylinder engine, latest front and rear ends, an all-new and unique interior, and latest technology.
Proton calls it ‘all-new’, and so they’re really not incorrect there. Same platform, yes, but many improvements have been made – more power, more torque, higher (claimed) efficiency, more modern interior, greater screen, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay from the get-go, Bahasa Malaysia voice command, pre-installed RFID and enhanced safety, including six airbags across the range and rear ADAS functions.
The automotive(s) you see here is the range-topping Flagship variant, easily identifiable through the black roof and door mirrors, and that bridge-like tailgate spoiler with winglets, which can also be black no matter body color. This one’s strictly for the extroverts; the Executive and Premium variants get a less shouty spoiler.
Inside, the auto-dimming rear-view mirror, two-tone black-and-red interior, black headlining, see-through sun visors, panoramic sunroof and wireless phone charger are Flagship exclusives, as is auto-parking, which has been improved – you not must hold the button for the automotive to maneuver; it’s now a one-touch affair.
