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.

Advanced safety, now even better

Safety remains a priority, with the X50 offering Level 2 ADAS, including:

  • Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
  • Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning
  • Intelligent High Beam Control

New to the facelift is a Rear Side Radar System, which adds:

  • Blind-spot monitoring
  • Rear collision warning
  • Rear cross-traffic alert
  • Door opening warning

The new X50 also introduces a 360-degree camera system with a 180-degree transparent view, making tight parking spaces less stressful. Coupled with one-touch auto parking, it’s perfect for urban drivers who want convenience and peace of mind.

Style meets practicality

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. Step inside, and you’re greeted with a modern, premium-feel cabin, complete with a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery (in higher trims), and practical storage spaces, making it suitable for families or solo drivers alike.
