The Proton X50 SUV has sailed right to the top of the B-segment SUV market. According to the latest press release issued by the national automaker, it delivered 1,756 units of the X50 in November, while total deliveries since launch is 2,203 units.
At the launch, Proton said it aimed to produce 8,000 units of the X50 in November and December 2020, but it’s unclear if the target can be met. To address this, Proton Edar CEO, Roslan Abdullah said: “Admittedly, deliveries of the Proton X50 have not ramped up to maximum capacity, but we are being deliberate in our approach to ensure our customers get the best product that meets their expectations.”
“Still, we target to increase our volume each month to shorten waiting times, so we urge everyone to please remain patient,” he added. At the end of October, Proton said it had collected nearly 28,000 bookings for the X50, 20,000 of which were placed within the first two weeks since the order books opened.
To recap, the X50 is priced at RM79,200 for the base 1.5T Standard, RM84,800 for the Executive, RM93,200 for the Premium and RM103,300 for the 1.5 TGDi Flagship. East Malaysia prices are RM2,000 higher across the board. These prices are on-the-road without insurance, including maximum sales tax exemption valid until December 31.

For the month of November, it sold 11,411 units of vehicles, a figure which include both domestic and export markets. This is an 18% increase over the same period in 2019, when 9,643 units were sold.

X50 a formidable $100k crossover even bettered the 320K of same class rival BMW X2…
hahaha proton same class rival bmw. i have never know proton is a premium or luxury car brand
You can’t deny, these days Proton buyers either have Mercedes, BM’s & Range Rovers at home. Just go and see X50 groups on FB.
True, for their form 5 kids because it is the cheapest. Not because of quality or image
Hah, if they want cheaper means they could have settled for Perodua what, and if quality they could go to Japs instead. The pricier Protons have a blend of both, its a no brainer choice
If really great then why not sell it same price RM320K with X2?
Typical delusional jaguh kampung
Nice try but failed you. Didn’t you remember moaning that X50 was overpriced as it is? Yet 30,000 people didn’t think so so you try to change tack and seeking to challenge Proton to up prices and sell at Rm320k? Hahaha. Better you go ask BMW why not selling X2 at RM79k then.s
And that is why you got GAGAL in your name. You dream to get BMW X2 but not even can afford Proton X50, so you came here to vent. Work harder so you don’t remain as GAGAL, try turn yourself into SUKSES my friend.
Gagal, it’s premium in Se Asia. Bmw much bigger more features 2.0.bmw over price +import tax
Many would miss the SST-free period
No problem bruh… so many my frens in UK, Aussie & even Japan are so envy of our X50 here. They really wished buying X50 in their country
Miss SST period but resale value in the future will be better than getting a year end car.
Hafriz got his yet?
Hafriz more happy with his C300 AMG la
ask him share his MEDIA price for his x50.
i wnat to know.
Sure. RM103,300 + RM3,500 for the Flagship with Urban Package.
New car where got discount bro
Honda City new already got RM2k discount.
That one, they sort of had to, isn’t it? Since the majority of orders are for the V variant.
Kesian Honda City. Launched at the wrong time, wrong year now got swallowed whole by Proton X50.
To be honest this is all i wanted to know and now I’m satisfied. Thank you. Congrats with your new car!
Haha see this: https://www.facebook.com/100025304735770/posts/771240800396071/
Not yet, if according to his post on X50 Group on Facebook
Thank you for supporting chinese car. Well done Tong San. Now people know Tong San is very advance.
This is the best you troll brigade can think of? Disappointed to be honest.
let’s start the ball rolling, any X50 complaints yet?
I really hope Proton focus on our local market (Brunei come later after satisfying our Rakyat) & please give a proper estimation time to each Proton Dealer to ensure that at least customer are well known inform when the vehicle can be ready for collection. Please push up the production as well, 1700 units for 1 month is way to low, when Proton can fill up all the 30000 booking which still pending?
Its because x50 booking never even reach 30k. Tats all bullshit one and cheap publicity. If reallt 30k booking must at least delivered 3k-4k x50 per month. Like x70 every month mostly 2k unit delivered. Lastime bukan main said 20k over booking. Soon to be failed this 2 suv. X70 many complaint now a day.
No need to commit sin and spread more lies, dude. Compete fairly, if you are good with your customers surely they will buy car from you. Unless, you are the type that BS a lot to customers like how you are doing here…
Too clear ody proton made shame mistake.
And too clear oso here u BS type like p1 helping cover up. Arent u toking abt urself committing sin? LOL!
It’s easy to see whether your tactic of BS got you more sales or not. You have so much free time to spread your lies here instead of attending to customers already showed that. Looks like it’s too late for you cause karma has caught up with you…Better not waste my effort on the unworthy, LOL!
Wat u expect? P1 try to chase p2 sales figure but never reach. Is like p1 chasing a rainbow which is imposible. Even p1 cheat also cant beat p2 sales. Too good to be true.
A Musang King seller will never want to reduce his product quality and size just to compete selling numbers versus rambutan seller. A Musang King seller prefers to give quality and satisfaction to his customer, that is what Proton have been aiming for.
They can push for output but risk shutting down entire operation due to Covid 19. Apart from the famous glove factory, there are plenty of smaller factory being temporarily shutdown to prevent outbreak.
Its very tricky in this pandemic. Just like my workplace, orders are surprisingly high.We can push for output but must be very2 careful and cautios with our approach. One wrong move and its a disaster. We can push for max capa but risk 14days closure should we are affected with C-19. The best we can do as for now is push for output with limited headcount which for sure will result in lower capa. This way we will only lose one shift should there is an outbreak and another shift group can cover the down shift.
One of our supplier was also down for 14 days after an outbreak in their factory in N9.
When/If this pandemic end, we can push all we want again.
1756 units X50 flew off the proton shelf.Congrats DR.Li.
But one wonder how many months will it take to fulfill the 28000 orders.
If P1 can produce 2000 units monthly..omg..14 months..until 2022 Jan/Feb!!! The tax holiday expires in less than a month.

Congratulations to Proton and Perodua
Topping November
Congrats Proton! Just ignore all the haters. Keep moving forward!
Yup, keep re-badging and re-badging, and make taxes on foreign cars expensive so rakyat thinks Proton & Perodua is cheap in comparison
Civic is roughly the same prices in Indonesia and Thailand as it is here. What taxes on foreign cars do they levied on non-nationals since they have no national car? Lame and outdated excuses for Japanese brands uncompetitiveness and stingy to give us better specs. Just look at how condescending was Mitsubishi Motor boss referencing that our regional market deserves nothing better than 2 airbags. Compared to a far better Chinese rebadge, what has Japanese brands been giving us other than shit cars?
Any driver of this car must understand that she or he must not use the accelerator pedal to hold this DCT equipped car on a slight slope, say at a junction, while waiting for traffic to clear. (Good if Proton can clarify on this issue) . If she or he does drive this car exactly like the other automatic torque convertor transmission car then the life span of clutch in the transmission can be shorten drastically. DCT type of transmission have this distinctive disadvantages vs a torque convertor automatic transmission.
Umm, that’s what the brake hold is for as part of X50 electronic brake function. You no longer need to resort to such crude method anymore. That’s what technology in a new Proton car gives you.
Admittedly, deliveries of the Proton X50 have not ramped up to maximum capacity, but we are being deliberate in our approach to ensure our customers get the best product that meets their expectations.”
Betul ke deliberate? Atau parts dari China tak sampai-sampai? due to quality issue? Mengaku je lah.
Betul ke baru keluar dari gua newme ni? Dia mcm tak tau skrg ni dunia tgh alami covid-19. Kencang sebut pasal ‘quality issue’ di sini tapi dia diam2 je kat comment section Denso fuel pump. Biasalah, pemuja Jepun no 1 lah katakan…
Honda boleh je deliver lebih 5000 city. Jangan bagi alasan la. Takyah tegakkan benang basah.

Proton had to deal with a Covid outbreak in case you didn’t know… or do you prefer them not to care and push for output disregarding everything else like Top Glove? Oh sure, I bet you would slam them too if they did that.
Yang kena Covid tu R&D department in Shah Alam. What is it going to do with production in Tanjung Malim?
Kerja R&D dah habis dengan siapnya design grille tu.
Newme. Dude are you seriously that dumb as some pointed out?
Proton HQ where R&D resides is just beside the Shah Alam plant and they would have staff going from plant to plant before CMCO. If restrictions happened is thru the whole organisation. Can see from example, Top Glove similarly have various plants located near each other and their Covid spread is happen across most of their plants not just any particular one. If you had taken time to understand how their operate instead of blindly hating them, you would realise this fact.
Apakah isu yang sebenar? Booking banyak [30k] tetapi production volume terlalu perlahan?
1. Adakah kilang Proton tidak beroperasi secara efisen?
2. Adakah vendor local tidak bersedia dengan kapasiti? tidak mahu melabur dengan mesin kerana projek terdahulu yang gagal.
3. Adakah CKD parts dari China ada masalah penghantaran? Kenapa? Covic-19, logistic atau duit [hutang lapok mother company pada vendor vendor di China].
Permasalahan ini menampakkan seolah-olah Proton tidak berseedia dengan pengeluaran model X50 ini. Apakah strategi yang akan diambil sebelum kehilangan pelanggannya.
Masalah ini

Masalahnya Covid kat Shah Alam. Production kat Tanjung Malim.

Impressive.
I may buy one when the fever over this model subsides.
Yes. Seems like a good car. Better to buy facelift and when there is a discount after 2-3 years. They would have fix many technical issues and atleast we would know if the car worth to buy that time.
a proton? what a shame…
A caveman in 2020? What a shame….
Proton will always be Proton, and the behaviour will never change. The Proton car dealer now informed that in order to get car allocation, I need to buy the optional accessories of 3.5k. if not priority of getting car will be given to those who added these accessories. I was the top 3 to place a booking for the car but not giving the first come first serve treatment.
Ye lah tu, if such underhanded practice was real Hafriz would have kena too.
The packaged wasn’t forced on me. I chose it anyway, but I’m still waiting for my car. So yeah
That’s the thing isn’t it? People who were not genuinely inquiring but only listen to hearsay from somewhere else and repeat the same story here.
Are there bad apples, sure there is! To those who were forced, just take your business to another Proton showroom.
But even with Hafriz taking the Urban package (voluntarily!), he still haven’t got his car yet so there is no truth whatsoever that bundling with the accessories would help get the car faster. Are they wrong to push for it? Nope, you can insist not to take.
went for test drive. the price is a bit expensive for the small suv. the material inside do not feel premium. if you have 20k more to spare and like proton, get x70
But really if you don’t have and extra 20k to top up, what else within the price range that is more “feel premium”?
What a name calling….it does not make you any smart.
X50 are built in Tajung Malim. R&D is in Shah Alam. Despite that, Proton only shuts down the R&D dept and not the entire COE, let alone Shah Alam plant.
And the best part is we have this article.
