2020 Proton X50 1.5T Standard – first look at the entry-level RM79,200 variant, is the base spec SUV OK?

It’s not common to be able to lay our eyes and point our camera lenses at base variants of newly-launched models. Usually, what we get to see – at the launch event and at showrooms – is the prettiest and most impressive variant, the flagship. In the Proton X50’s case, it’s literally the top 1.5 TGDi Flagship variant with all the bells and whistles.

We tried our best to bring to you full galleries of the 1.5T Executive and 1.5T Premium, which you saw in our launch post. However, the base 1.5T Standard variant was nowhere to be found then. Curious on how the entry level RM79,200 looks like? Here’s out first look at the Standard, courtesy of reader Meyooi.

The good news is that despite being the base model, the 1.5T Standard does not look too much like a poverty-spec car, retaining much of what’s good about the costlier variants. The eyes you see here are LED projector headlamps with LED daytime running lights, which are standard across the X50 board. With a gloss black Infinite Weave grille and red pinstripe, the top half of the Standard’s face is identical to the Flagship’s.

Even the prominent double front lip that joins the black fender outline is present here, giving the Standard a sporty face, just like the other X50 variants. The only thing missing is the LED front fog lamps that are available on the Executive onwards – the “side intakes” are blank as a result.

Moving to the side, the Standard rides on 17-inch silver alloys wrapped with 215/60 tyres, the same set up as the Executive. This marks the two lower variants from the Premium and Flagship, which are given 18-inch two-tone wheels, red brake calipers and roof rails. Only the Flagship gets a two-tone body with a black roof. No pics, but the rear end of the Standard is similar to the other variants, with LED tail lights, quad tail pipes and a rear spoiler.

Overall, the exterior of the Standard looks very decent for a base model, much better than most. But inside is where the difference between it and the others are clearer. The Standard comes with fabric seats with grey contrast stitching, with leather only available from the Executive. If you’re not a fan of leather seats, this shouldn’t be an issue, and there’s a nice wavy motif on the top portion of the seat backs.

The steering wheel is the same flat-bottomed unit found in the rest of the range – it has two spokes of buttons but no leather wrap. Again, that’s to be found on the Exec onwards. Basically, the main interior difference between the Standard and the Exec, which is RM5,600 costlier, is leather.

Like the exterior, both Standard and Exec have a similar looking dashboard, sharing the same manual seats, manual air con, analogue meter cluster and 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The two-tone dashboard, digital meter panel and wide 10.25-inch touchscreen you see in the promotional images are for the Premium and Flagship.

With the RM79,200 Standard and RM84,800 Executive looking really similar in and out (lack of leather might be a deal breaker for some, non issue for others), should you just save the RM5,600 and opt for the base model?

From L-R: Cockpits of the X50 Executive and Premium

Depends. The biggest advantage the Exec has over the Standard are the two curtain airbags that make it six in total. We were rather surprised when it was revealed that six airbags weren’t standard across the board – as it’s fast becoming a norm in the B-segment these days – and this is the main reason why we recommend the Exec as the base point. But if you almost never have any passengers, and the X50 is a purely a personal car…

The other features that the Exec adds on are auto headlamps, the above-mentioned LED fog lamps and front parking sensors. One last thing: the Standard comes with three exterior colour options, which are Snow White, Armour Silver and Ocean Blue. If you fancy Jet Grey and Citric Orange, it has to be the Exec. Passion Red is reserved for the Premium and Flagship.

So, what do you think of the RM79,200 Proton X50 1.5T Standard? Looks wise, I think it’s very sporty-looking for a base model, and it doesn’t take much to make it look like the X50 in the ads – upsizing the rims and wrapping the roof/A-pillars would be enough. The other main points are the airbags, fabric/leather, analogue/digital meters and size of the touchscreen.

Here’s the variant breakdown in detail.

          Picanto is a far smaller car, with far less advanced features and far less safety. Why pay more for something less?

            Even foreign car maker that makes their cars in China gets the cost savings advantage (cheaper steel and aluminium prices, slightly cheaper labour, HUGE market for economy of scale). Even Audi and Mercedes are cheaper there. Their China/India-exclusive Long Wheelbase models are not much more expensive than the regular version those cars are based off. The difference between a W213 and V213 is only USD1500. For a car that is bigger internally and externally meaning that it is a new chassis with its own production line, not one that is converted from a W213), and with more luxury features.

            China salary is at least 30%-200% higher than Malaysia. Their car sales men salary is at least 3 times higher than low salary proton sales men here. Their X50 is30% cheaper. Not fair.

          RM 59,200 for a 2020 zero star safety deathtrap. Seriously, why would a company even voluntarily apply for NCAP rating if they knew it would get zero stars, it’s not like NCAP scoring information is secret.

      LHD to RHD, I guess there are more reliability issue since deviated from original design intent,
      To begin with.

      RM59k is reasonable for the inferior 1,5TMPI base spec.
      RM79k should get 1.8TGDI x50 for 1 class below 1.8X70 RM89k.

      They should at least begin cheaper than the Japanese B Class Sedan and Hatchbacks, and X70 1.8TGDI.

          If low IQ can understand, high IQ can understand too.
          Definitely overpriced for 1.5TMPI X50 only RM10k below 1.8TGDI X70.

          1.8TGDI X50 RM 10k below 1.8TGDI X70 would be reasonable, though still not worth the RM10k less, X70 1.8TGDI RM89k is better value.

          1.8TGDI > 1.5TGDI > 1.5TMPI
          X70 > X50

          I wonder why proton fans is biased, X70 not by Proton eh?

            It’s okay if you think X70 more valuable since that’s quite subjective depends on your need and want. But how can anyone with normal IQ fathom pricing a car almost as powerful as Honda Civic 1.5T-CP at below 60k?

            Now do tell me, which car maker offer “inferior” 1.5TMPI 150ps 226nm at below 60k, and 1.8TGDI 184ps 300nm at below 80k? With luxurious interior and refinement nonetheless. That’s where you’re completely delusional all the way into the bones.

            The best you can get from that price range would be around 100ps under 150nm, with cheap looking interior. I’m sorry for breaking your delusional view. But if you still want to stand your claim, youre definitely a lost cause. No one can save you anymore.

            We do provide coverage for all car brands in Malaysia, but of course more focus is given to both Proton and Perodua. In any case, we have provided plenty of coverage on the other recent launches too, such the Honda City, Nissan Almera and Mitsubishi Xpander.

          Dear Hafriz, or Danny in this matter – is it possible for a comparison to be make for what cars can one get for 80k. What Vios or City or Almera can you get and is it equivalent level in terms of equipment between them all. Forget about body/cabin dimensions and handling etc, or asean NCAP nor EEV status.

          Spec-to-spec for 80k.

            You may want to read that article again. The X50 standard is in the list solely because it has 4 instead of 6 airbags, which to me is unacceptable for a new model in 2020. The part about the airbag, we knew from the very beginning. I don’t understand what you’re on about here. Complaining for the sake of complaining.

      Judging from the majority of Malaysian buyers available, unfortunately it seems like manual would not be a good option for buying especially since sales of the manuals have dropped significantly over the years. so for the marketing/sales department’s sake, this just sounds like a bad decision which leads to inevitable failure down the line somewhere.

    some journalists had highlight as in face2face with the management on media briefing before! Dont underestimate the sport rim, it contribute a lot to the overall look! Typical P1 approach on standard variant, that Rims, if you go smaller size to 17’inch, misspropotion between the body, the wheel hub & the rim, to counter this, they should put darker scheme on or full gloss black to not cheapen the high stature of the X50 and the Brands itself. Same goes to those standard Iriz and persona Rims. You can save more Bill of material BOM by using only single rim’s design & size across all variants. Do not copy SEA market japanese approaches in the budget variants, youre now upmarket so start acting like contis

      Copy paste: “But if you almost never have any passengers, and the X50 is a purely a personal car…”

    Dont understand the existence of Standard variant. The extra item available in Executive is worth more that the price different. Standard variant should be skip in the line up.

      Some people prefer fabric to leather. It’s much softer, doesn’t crack long term, and can withstand our hot tropical weather.

      Maybe big company uses it as a manager-level company car?

    Hope PT will consider publishing something on Proton X50 price variance from Geely Binyue in China and Malaysia.
    Almost 50% price increased even for a CKD?

    The price variance is considered outrageous considering if truly Proton is still majority share holding by Malaysia.

    The car is great but the price is a true disappointment.

    We understand that profits need to be allocated here and there.

    Does it mean China don’t tax their car manufacturers at all?
    Ultimately, it feels like a total rip off.

    I’m only a typical Malaysian not from the car industry hoping to buy better true valued cars and not taxes or profits to some rich people that I don’t know of.

    I’ll wait for facelift lah then. Spec must be higher at the almost the same price. Hope they add back the one missing cylinder too.

    Is there an arm rest at the middle rear seat on the X50 standard.
