The all-new Proton X50 facelift has officially arrived, and it’s looking sharper than ever, ready to turn heads on Malaysian roads. This compact SUV combines sleek, modern design with practical everyday performance, making it perfect for those who want style without sacrificing comfort, tech, and safety.
Under the hood, the X50 retains its turbocharged power, offering a choice between:
- A 1.5L turbo PFI engine (150 PS, 226 Nm) for those who want reliable daily performance
- A 1.5L turbo T-GDI engine (177 PS, 255 Nm) for those who prefer a punchier drive, whether for city commutes or highway trips.
You still get the smooth 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, ensuring quick, seamless gear changes while maintaining fuel efficiency.
Upgraded tech that matters
The most noticeable upgrade in the new X50 is its huge 14.6-inch Full HD touchscreen infotainment system, which is a big jump from the previous 8-inch or 10.25-inch screens. This new display runs on Android 10, with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, providing a faster, smoother user experience with better app compatibility and a clean interface.
It also features smart voice command and connectivity, keeping you in control of your music, navigation, and calls without distractions, whether you’re stuck in city traffic or cruising down the highway.

Design-wise, the X50 remains sporty with its dynamic lines, LED headlamps, and a bold front grille, giving it a premium yet aggressive stance on the road.
