Proton X50 – 177 PS and 255 Nm for 1.5 TGDI, 0-100 km/h in 7.9 seconds; 150 PS and 226 Nm for 1.5 T

More details have emerged about the Proton X50 from the short media test drive the automaker is holding for the SUV today. One of these is the confirmation that the X50’s 0-100 km/h time will mirror that of the Geely Binyue (or Coolray), with a claimed 7.9 seconds for the century sprint.

The X50 will be powered by a 1.5 litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine, developed by Geely and Volvo, with two variations being offered on the SUV. The first is a direct-injection unit called the 1.5 TD (designated 1.5L TGDi on the X50), which will only be found on the Flagship, the range-topper in a four-variant line-up.

Notably, the acceleration time for the X50 is with a few hp less than with the application seen on the Binyue, which is 179 PS (or 177 hp) at 5,500 rpm and 255 Nm of torque from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm.

As shown in the specification slide from the presentation deck today, the Proton output tune for the unit is listed as 177 PS (or 174 hp), with torque remaining unchanged. It was previously revealed that this lower output figure for the 1.5L TGDi is quoted when RON 92 petrol is used, so it could be that the 177 PS rating Proton is going with reflects the lower output denominator.

The other mill is a port-fuel injection version known as the 1.5T PFI (designated 1.5L T on the X50), which has 150 PS (or 147 hp) at 5,500 rpm and 226 Nm of torque available from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm. This will power the three other X50 variants, namely Standard, Executive and Premium.

Both direct- and port-injection versions will be paired with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission as seen on the CKD X70. As previously revealed, the claimed fuel consumption figures for the X50 are 6.4 litres per 100 km (15.6 km/l) for 1.5 TGDi Flagship and 6.5 litres per 100 km (15.4 km/l) for the 1.5T PFI engine.

The automaker also took the opportunity to list out the output response from both engine variations in the form of power and torque curves as well as highlight the measures taken by Geely to counter a three-cylinder engine’s inherent character. These technical specifications have been detailed in our previous post, which delved into the downsizing route taken by the company.

We’ve already covered the X50 extensively from the first media preview, and you can check it out here. We’ve also detailed the spec-by-spec differences that have been revealed prior to today, but expect more to emerge following today’s drive preview.

      Rocky 60k? In your dreams because no way is the Rocky going to be cheaper than the Aruz. Looking at the way Perodua cars are always overpriced, the Rocky will be around 80k.

        Frankly, if I was Proton, the Exora should just be left as it is & discontinue when time comes. Globally, the MPV market is shrinking fast, being replaced by SUVs. Replacement be 7 seater B segment cross over. Want something even bigger, then the 7 seater D segment SUV Hao Yue VX11.

        Proton should think ahead, plan for the next 10-15 years and not be a laggard by continuing to cater to dying segments like MPV & D segment sedans.

      Wanna try drag a 15yo 4WD Perdana with 6G72 DOHC twin-turbo V6? 276hp, 427nm torque! Those also spec on crank without counting-in other modifications, with kerb weight probably exceeding 1400kg.

      Nahh kidding, not my car bcos I can’t justify the cost. But someone with some cash laying around did it rather than buying a GT-R or whatever.

    Tbh, with the specs given, hope that they can still consider to lower the price to range 68k and above. 75k is just too much for this car. Do not forget the fact that this is national brand car. So it should be economic and affordable by M40.
