The 2026 Proton X50 Sport Edition gets its public showing on the 2026 Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS 2026), and the facelifted B-segment SUV that was launched in July last 12 months gets a choice of styling tweaks.
Taking over a black-out aesthetic much like that of its larger stablemate the X70 Sport Edition, the X50 Sport Edition is shown with a black exterior color that’s joined by the black-out treatment for its trim sections that are in matte silver on the regular X50.
Meanwhile, red highlights – resembling on the grille trim of the standard-run model – also feature on the front splitter, side skirts and the rear diffuser. The moderately outstanding rear spoiler is definitely standard on the X50 Flagship.
The Sport Edition treatment for the most recent X50 mimics that of the previous version, which was shown on the 2024 running of KLIMS. Like its predecessor, this latest Sport Edition isn’t available to buy at this initial public showing, though it could go on sale in a while within the X50’s lifecycle.
It stays to be seen as to which variant of the X50 will underpin the Sport Edition should it come to market, and it won’t necessarily be based on the range-topper, because the previous Sport Edition was based on the Premium moderately than the Flagship with the more powerful engine within the X50 line-up on the time.
There’s yet to be access to the inside of the most recent X50 Sport Edition, though like its predecessor, the black-and-red color scheme of its cabin already matches that of the dressed-up exterior.
Within the case of the present X50, its powerplant is the 1.5 litre BHE15TD turbocharged and direct injected unit, producing 181 PS at 5,500 rpm and 290 Nm of torque between 2,000 rpm and three,500 rpm, driving the front wheels through a seven-speed wet dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Three variants of the Proton X50 facelift are currently on sale – the 1.5TD Executive at RM89,900, the 1.5TD Premium at RM101,800, and the 1.5TD Flagship at RM113,300.
