Proton has wasted no time in releasing its October 2020 sales figures – today is the first working day since October ended and we now have the press release.
Proton announced that it sold 11,392 units in the first 10 months of the year, and year-to-date sales is at 84,999 units – this is 6.2% more than January-October 2019. With this they’re estimating a 21.3% market share.
With the Proton X50 launch happening late in the month (October 27), the new SUV couldn’t contribute much to the overall tally. However, Proton still managed to deliver 447 units. They’re saying “in customer hands” but perhaps the earliest units would go to dealerships to serve as demo units. But it’s just a matter of time, and this month will be the first full month of sales for the anticipated new model.
“Proton would like to thank all its customers for the tremendous interest shown in the Proton X50. We are pushing to ensure fulfilment over the last three months of 2020, while continuing to emphasise product quality,” said Proton Edar CEO Roslan Abdullah.
Proton says that its order books for the X50 has 27,400 names at the end of October. 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.
We’ve already covered the X50 extensively, so for more on the car, check out our launch report and our spec breakdown video below, where you’ll get a good look at the variants below the Flagship.

Harimau sudah bangun.
Hahaha ni Harimau Peking
27000 units confirmed …but delivery is a nightmare.
Even if 5000 units monthly are being churned out like hot cookies,it will stretch until April 2021.
So the hardcore diehards have to wait 5-6 months.
EITHER PROTON absorb the SST or minta gomen extend the tax holiday or the poor fanboy has to fork out more $$$ in 2021.
Normally ,waiting period of 2 months is tolerable.,but not 6 months..buyers have other choices with so many brands giving out enticing new models in the Rm80-100K price range.
27000 units, p2 rilek aje. Perodua Rocky Turbo.
P2 masih tidur belum bangun.
Less than 2600 units left to get the special package offered for the first 30000 units.
Cepat cepat beli woi! Jual lagi cepat dari pisang goreng! Panas membara! Cepat cepat beli woi!
Tahniah P1!
Firstly, the humble ‘unexpected, realist, long game’ responds from the new team in various interviews add another new USP to the brand! The X50’s suited really well with the slogan “Intelligence that amazes”through the five USP’s *stylish design, powerfull performance, outstanding safety, revolutionary connectivity and total comfort* more than 20,000 bookings ticked minus the test drive. Even during the period since 2019 until the first mco, the exterior and interior designs already captured the buyers interests and blowed the competitors away..After the short media drive in sepang’s racetrack there is one final closure to that, a real drive review on our normal road conditions, waiting for the X50’s drive review reports by Paultan’s team!. Pls make it so details, partitioned to at least between 8 to 10’s short clips. As 1 article is not enough to cover the full features of the driven aspects. Many will and already supported this style as seen by the reader’s +ve and appreciative feedbacks on paultan’s youtube site : https://m.youtube.com/user/paultantk
447 owner can show off at deepavali
Driving a sub 100k car to show off?
Then Merc without AEB owner cannot show off too!
haha!
Wow, your mind thought driving an AEB car can show off than Merc. Poor man thinking. Work harder before you can show off man.
Lol at the snobbery of one who thinks he has made it. Work harder peon before you throw more insults that comes back at you.
To reply the poor man Veyron Owner below. No worry man, I don’t insult people but those who think of with AEB can insult luxury brand just stupid. Work harder man, don’t just feel satisfied with X50.
Why not, especially when the 120k+ doesn’t even have lv2 autonomous.
Show off because of level 2 autonomous??? OMG you must be kidding me. It is good to have but nothing to proud with coz it is not exactly autonomous driving.
Level 2 is never mean we can free hand driving, more than 30 sec the system will cancel the auto assist. Some cars are emergency brake till it fully stopped. I have a car with level 2 autonomous about 2 years. I barely use it in City unless in highway.
To show people that you are a smart buyer.
Hunger for new cars and enormous buying power of rakyat Malaysia is the proof that Malaysia economy is as healthy as a horse!!
Seems to be trying very hard to convince people not to cancel booking of this overpriced Geely
boy o boy, you are pretty salty…
Seems to be trying very hard to downplay Proton’s achievements by desperado Jap/P2 salesman.
Mostly from honda fanboys have been downplayed for proton and other brands too.
Ahem, more like the other way around. Many rival brands salesmen trying very hard to convince customers not to cancel booking for HRV and Rocky.
With less than a year after launching there will be at least 60k units of X50 running around. Hope other carmakers wake up to fight with X50 so that we have more variety vehicles on the road. The closer competitor now is new Almera and I believe with active safety offered in new Almera there are still people goes for it. Underpowered? Can always go after market to remap with 20% more power since it is turbocharged.
City will still have their own supporter however with a normal DOHC NA also missing of AEB make it weaker. The IMMD though with full safety features but again Msia citizens are still hesitate to go for hybrid. Put a hybrid, turbo and NA in similar power and similar price. I guess 40% go for turbo and 40% NA and probably less than 20% choose hybrid. hybrid car save fuel but replacement of battery is expensive and also poor resale value than NA and turbo.
New Almera 0-100km/h is about 11sec and IMMD City done in 9.9sec. If Almera remap to 115ps and 175nm I believe it can beat the IMMD City.
Yeah remap here and there later turbo kaput
Unless go for stage 2 or stage 3 remap without machinical upgrade then it will hurt the engine. Stage 1 upgrade is completely safe. And again turbo unit is very rare failure but the damage is to engine if over tuned. I guess you never owned a turbocharged car, otherwise you should realise how stage 1 remap work.
If book now x50 for rm 79200, can l get the car for the same price for next year 2021 ?
