Proton X50

Proton has commenced nationwide deliveries of its all-new X50 SUV, with 999 units reaching customers just five working days after the official launch on 24 July. The rapid delivery follows an extensive pre-launch campaign and careful stock planning, ensuring the brand could reward early supporters even before the pricing was officially revealed.

By the end of July, a total of 2,000 units had been produced at Proton’s Tanjong Malim plant, with output expected to remain high in the coming months to meet surging demand. Within just ten days of opening bookings, 5,000 reservations were secured—despite no price announcement at the time. That number has now grown to 8,000 bookings.

The marketing push for the new X50 is far from over. Proton has collaborated with several local entertainment platforms to boost visibility among younger demographics. A highlight of these efforts includes a partnership with local pop group De Fam, who debuted a dedicated song and music video during the vehicle’s launch event. Proton also took the unconventional route of hosting the launch at a pickleball venue, adding a modern, lifestyle-driven twist to the occasion.

Proton has unveiled the world’s first Bahasa Melayu Voice Recognition (VR) system, integrated into the newly launched All-New Proton X50. This development positions the national automaker as a global pioneer in intelligent in-car technology, seven years after it first introduced its English-language “Hi Proton” voice assistant in 2018.

At the core of the new Proton X50’s advanced digital interface is a 14.6-inch infotainment screen, now capable of understanding and responding to voice commands in both English and Bahasa Melayu. This bilingual feature sets Proton apart as the only car manufacturer in the world to offer such dual-language voice command functionality, providing a more inclusive, intuitive and safer driving experience tailored to Malaysian motorists.

The Bahasa Melayu VR assistant has been given the name “Aisyah”—a personable and approachable female persona designed to evoke the warmth of a companion or trusted family member. The system was developed in just seven months, well ahead of its original year-long schedule. Between October 2024 and May 2025, engineers and language experts worked intensively to develop the technology, collecting over 4,000 unique voice command phrases in both Bahasa Melayu and English.

Proton has officially launched the All-New Proton X50, unveiling a bold reinterpretation of its best-selling B-segment SUV. Building upon the formidable foundation laid by the original X50, first introduced in October 2020 and having surpassed 134,000 units sold, the revamped model signals a major evolution in Proton’s SUV strategy, bringing with it enhanced styling, upgraded interior refinement, and a suite of cutting-edge technologies.

The redesigned X50 departs significantly from its predecessor in both appearance and function. Externally, it adopts a sportier and more sophisticated aesthetic, courtesy of a redesigned front grille and bumper, a sleeker rear spoiler, and quad exhaust outlets that accentuate the SUV’s aggressive rear stance. A fresh two-tone exterior paint scheme injects a sense of modernity, while newly designed alloy wheels add a touch of intricacy to the overall silhouette. In addition to returning favourites such as Snow White, Passion Red, Jet Grey, and Armour Silver, the new Teal Bayou Green colourway debuts as a standout option.

Inside, the transformation is just as pronounced. Proton has elevated the premium feel of the cabin with generous use of soft-touch materials and a reimagined layout, including a floating floor console and luxury-inspired column gear shifters. A particular highlight is the introduction of a 72-colour rhythmic ambient lighting system, offering drivers and passengers the ability to tailor the cabin’s ambience to their preferences.

The centrepiece of the updated technology suite is a striking 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen, which now offers full integration with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Further enhancing user interaction is a voice recognition feature that supports Bahasa Melayu, underlining Proton’s focus on localised innovation and accessibility for Malaysian motorists. The newly improved Proton Link 2.0 smartphone app allows users to remotely start the engine and air-conditioning, check vehicle status in real time, and schedule service appointments directly from their mobile devices.

In terms of safety, Proton has enhanced the X50’s existing 5-star ASEAN NCAP credentials with the inclusion of a refined Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). A new Rear Side Radar System (RSRS) significantly improves blind spot monitoring, while the updated Auto Park Assist system simplifies tight urban manoeuvres. A next-generation 360-degree HD camera has also been introduced, complete with a 180-degree undercarriage transparent view that allows for unparalleled visibility around and underneath the vehicle.

Performance has not been left behind in this overhaul. The All-New X50 is powered by the latest 1.5-litre i-GT turbocharged direct-injection four-cylinder engine, producing 181PS and 290Nm of torque. Coupled with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the SUV accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in just 7.6 seconds—0.3 seconds quicker than the previous model. Alongside this performance gain is a 4.7% improvement in fuel efficiency, offering a more economical drive without sacrificing dynamic engagement.

Official prices for the all-new Proton X50 start from RM89,800 for the executive variant, RM101,800 for the premium variant and RM113,300 for the flagship variant.

The first 10,000 customers get a RM4,000 cash rebate!

The first 10,000 customers also get a five year warranty with unlimited mileage, six times free labour service, upgraded five year in car data package which is 2GB per month and trade in support up to RM2,000.

The All-New Proton X50 has captured the attention of Malaysians nationwide, with 5,000 bookings recorded within just 10 days of opening its order books on 5 July. The overwhelming response follows a highly successful nationwide prelaunch tour that brought the new SUV to major city attractions, where eager onlookers turned up in droves for a glimpse of Proton’s latest B-segment contender.

According to Proton, one booking for the All-New X50 is received every three minutes. This impressive rate reflects a 50 per cent take-up of the early bird promotion, which offers a RM1,000 cash rebate, a special edition Touch ‘n Go card, and an exclusive GEMPAK! Deal. These incentives are reserved for the first 10,000 customers, with only half of that number still available.

The full pricing structure of the All-New X50 will be disclosed during its official launch event, scheduled for the evening of 24 July. Ahead of that, Proton has announced that public test drives will commence at showrooms nationwide from 19 July, giving potential buyers the opportunity to experience the vehicle’s performance and features first-hand.

Proton has previewed the All-New Proton X50 to members of the Malaysian media, signalling the company’s first major model launch of 2025. As anticipation builds, the B-segment SUV—already a dominant force in its category since its October 2020 debut with over 134,000 units sold—returns with a striking new design, expanded technological features, and improved performance.

The updated X50, which has held the top spot in its class for five consecutive years, is set to raise the benchmark once again. It now arrives in three distinct variants—Executive, Premium, and Flagship—each benefitting from a thorough overhaul that touches every aspect of the vehicle, from aesthetics and safety to power and connectivity.

Proton is rolling out a series of promotional events ahead of the official launch to familiarise the public with the SUV’s new features and begin accepting early bookings. The campaign reflects Proton’s confidence in its most advanced X50 to date.

Visually, the All-New X50 departs from its predecessor with a bolder, more refined exterior. Notable updates include a redesigned front grille and bumper, a more athletic rear spoiler, and quad exhaust tailpipes that emphasise its performance credentials. A two-tone colour scheme adds visual flair, further complemented by textured alloy wheels that complete the look.

Inside, the transformation continues with an elevated interior experience. Soft-touch materials, a luxury-inspired floating floor console, and column-mounted shifters bring a touch of class. Meanwhile, a 72-colour rhythmic ambient lighting system allows for personalisation rarely seen in the segment. In addition to four familiar colour choices—Snow White, Passion Red, Jet Grey, and Armour Silver—the X50 welcomes a fresh and distinctive option: Teal Bayou Green.

At the heart of the SUV’s technology offering is a significantly enlarged 14.6-inch infotainment display, which now supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Notably, Proton introduces voice recognition in Bahasa Melayu for the first time, delivering a more localised and intuitive user experience.

The new Proton Link 2.0 app enhances daily usability with a range of remote functions, including engine and air-conditioning activation, live vehicle status updates, and service appointment scheduling—all accessible via a smartphone.

Safety remains a core pillar of the new X50. The model incorporates Proton’s upgraded Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), now bolstered by the addition of a Rear Side Radar System (RSRS). The Auto Park Assist system has also been refined, and the inclusion of a 360-degree HD camera with a 180-degree undercarriage transparent view significantly improves situational awareness.

These features are paired with a 5-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating, reaffirming the vehicle’s strong safety credentials and making it one of the most secure options in its class.

Beneath the bonnet lies the next-generation 1.5-litre i-GT TD engine, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. This combination generates an impressive 181PS and 290 Nm of torque, enabling the SUV to sprint from 0 to 100km/h in just 7.6 seconds, shaving 0.3 seconds off its predecessor’s time.

Fuel economy has also been improved, with a 4.7% increase in efficiency that underscores the brand’s commitment to sustainable performance without compromising driving excitement.

With the All-New X50, Proton is not only setting new standards for itself but also reaffirming its ambition to lead the local SUV segment through innovation, accessibility, and design excellence.
