There’s plenty to get excited about the Proton X50. As shown by its reveal earlier this week, it’s well kitted, and there’s lots of gloss to how things are presented. Specifications of the four variants (Standard, Executive, Premium and Flagship) that will be available for the SUV have been fleshed out, and really, the big question left on everyone’s minds – besides how it drives – is this: how much will it cost?
Now, prices haven’t been released or disclosed at this point, but it looks like someone has chosen to offer a presumption of things as fact. A rumoured price list supposedly listing out the expected on-the-road prices of the four X50 variants has been circulating about, and states that prices for the X50 will start from RM75,800 for the baseline 1.5T Standard all the way up to RM104k for the range-topping Flagship.
The presence of this has triggered a response from the national carmaker, which is calling the document out – in a Facebook post, the company clarified that the rumoured price list that is being circulated is fake. It added that all relevant information will eventually be presented via the company’s social media pages or its website.
So, everyone will have to just wait patiently until prices are revealed. That doesn’t stop you from placing a booking for one, because the order books for the SUV opened yesterday. Be quick if you want one with SST exemption, because the company says it is capable of delivering 8,000 units this year.

time for Malaysia to start reducing punishing duties to protect so called national cars since there are no longer national cars in Malaysia any longer..reduce the debt burden on the rakyat and improve the industry in the long term..
Agreed 100% . We malaysians could have driven better cars if it was not for that tax.
Your welcomed to try your luck with ZERO Ncap star Datsun GO where these are sold in countries without tax.
if proton x50 & honda hrv same price 75k.Sure pick proton x50
no doubt, but hr-v costs RM100k, br-v costs RM 87k

Reduce the debt burden by removing duties?
How shall that work?

Buy X70 better, no need wait
More comfortable, more spacious, C segment
Buy Perodua Rocky better, no need wait too
Those prices are fake. Why still took it as reference?
They said stop spreading fake news and you literally just made one up here.
Also the x70 is heavy and unnecessarily massive for most Malaysians. All the talk about wanting cars with low fc and then people go buy a 2 tonne suv driving around town alone. Amazing.
Size is not everyone concern.
X70 lack of ACC until stop.
X70 lack of LKAS, only warning.
X70 head unit can be laggy and older tech. compare to X50.
X70 exterior is quite boxy compared to X50.
X70 lack of Park Assist (which I believe most of the buyer wouldnt use much) – heck even Volvos Park Assist the driver have to change gear by themselves; not in X50.
X70 with panoramic roof blind during the day, u can see the light through it.
X70 engine cover is too much. Like a toy car!
Im not 100% like the X50 though.
X50 is only a 3 cylinder car, so the vibration in idling is expected. However this is Volvos engine that is used in XC40 (not in our market), we’ll see.
The red brake caliper is soooo tacky.
X50 lack of paddle shifters (other markets have it, so, bare with it).
X50 doesnt have powered tailgate (even Binyue and Coolray doesnt have it too, but hello aftermarket!)
There, I said it, without hate towards Proton.
Buy buy buy, both also Proton
Whether be X70 or X50, janji Proton menang.
Wow the P2 trolls are seriously hard at work trying to downplay, confuse, obfuscate, even downright creating fake news about the new X50. Can see them crawling in the past few X50 articles. This car must be seriously good for them to stoop this low. Such low mentality sells competitor cars.
The same goes to Honda trolls also playing cheat by posting fake news about X50. These Honda trolls also having their low mentality
Come on. Honda has nothing against X50 they have no reason to throw such lies on to proton. The obvious party is coming from perodua.
No bro. Honda fanboys also against X50 too if you refer feedbacks for recently previous articles and past as well and even some of honda fanboys here attacking proton. Already have good evidence.
Honestly malaysian is so gullible believing fake news. We have first world utilities, but third world mentality.
Standard and exec price difference won’t be 10k la… I’m willing to out 11k on the table it will be in the range of 4-7k base on the specs
Rush in to get one of the 8k units? Not this time around dude… Price not published, no test drive, no see nor touch the car in showroom… Just for the 5k discount best case scenario? Year end depreciation amount is more than that la.
Fake or not doesn’t matter. Proton please make sure ACTUAL price is LOWER than the PICTURE.
Rumour is that all 8,000 units allocated for this year already have been booked as of today 17 Sep 2020.
Howzat for selling like hawt cakes.
It’s been long since last time m’sian got so excited about a car launch. This is crazy, even came up with a fake pricing scam.
This is freelance salesmen tactic la. Believe me. They only care about commission.
You want people to book but dowan give price ..what nonsense is this ..proton ..rebadge car oso takes so long ..now for pricing takes how long ..aduii..
Not interested in x 50. Prefer saloon cars either new Honda City or Nissan Almera.
Not interested in Honda City also. Prefer either X50 or Nissan Almera
Yeah. Std almera hv AEB unlike x50. They value msian safety more than even our national car company.
Then they should have priced it Rm69k same as the previous Almera. They are just greedy rather than caring for Msian safety.
Difference rims & all variants are TGDi. Obviously fake.
Fake news or advertising/salesman hype on car prices to sell. Latest vehicle technology is being paraded to the public in the Beijing Auto Show this month.
The variant name dont even match with the official name, got people believe it? ♂️♂️♂️
Malaysia economy strong, huh?. Rich folks are loaded with cash and more than willing to spend lots of money on car. Car of 100k price tag is sap sap sui for them
Somehow, my boss said “no bonus this year”. How ar?
Give you bonus then how he can upgrade to new Lexus LS500 ? He will need to downgrade to this X50
not sure how not revealing the price counted as business strategy.
There is almost no new competitor in its segment (except kona) that is worth mentioning.
can anyone explain?
Everyone were sleeping despite knowing early on proton will bring in Bseg suv.
it could very well be a fake one as it didn’t came out of proton themselves. but the price range is certainly close enough to the actual offering.
75,800 – 103.800 the differences is RM 28,000. This can’t be true as the huge range is huge. The top spec could be true but low spec is expect higher than RM 80k.
Agreed
Fake Malaysian car too. LOL.
Like Perodua, Malaysian assembled the cars only. LOL
“How much?” – the million dollar question
Proton should have released the car price before accepting booking. Car price is one major deciding factor in getting a car, no price just blindly book, like everyone so kiasu.
Doesn’t matter. We are used to fake info from this company just like how the tether gate and sending non-production model for safety test in order to get better rating.
Nak tya berkenaan. Harga x50
Eventually not much different between official and these ‘fake’ price release LOL
