All-new Proton X50 first impressions: Refreshing updates, noteworthy enhancements

A long time coming, Proton X50 has finally received the major update that it deserves. Will the all-new Proton X50 able to retain its position as one of Malaysia's most popular compact SUV?

has finally received a significant update that covers its exterior and interior as well as performance, comfort, safety, and tech features. Whileis largely based on the Geely Binyou L, Proton said the newly refreshed SUV has 245 new parts that were the result of more than 400,000 manhours of R&D.

That being said, I am also still in favour of the new sport spoiler with carbon fibre-like finish for the Flagship variant. Of course, I’m not ignoring the songket-inspired front grille – it is always good to see Proton continues to insert Malaysian elements into its products. On a related note, the semi-transparent sun visors for the driver and front passenger are quite a cool addition to the SUV. Too bad that it is limited to the Flagship variant.The media preview session that I joined was rather brief when it came to the actual driving. I was only given two laps at the Proton’s oval track with the instruction to keep things under 100km/h and focus more on the L2 ADAS implementation.

My observation was then confirmed by a staff member who said that some tuning has been done to improve the comfort level of the new model. That being said, it is not known to what extent the tuning affects the driving dynamics, and I guess this is something that needs to be experienced if we get to spend more time with the new SUV.

While I don’t expect the SUV to immediately shoot off the line as per EV , the time gap before the car started to actually accelerate is noticeable enough to me. I’m not sure whether this is due to the powertrain characteristic, torque modulation, or just plain safety.2026 Proton X50: A rather positive first impression
