The Proton X50 has set another monthly sales record, and this is a big one at that – with 4,763 units sold in July, the SUV didn’t just retain its position as leader in the SUV segment, it was also the best-selling vehicle in Malaysia for the month, marking the first time an SUV has led the overall market in sales volume.
This follows on the model’s success in June, when 4,473 units were registered. In total, Proton has sold 31,500 SUVs, including the X70, in the first seven months of the year.
“With our parts supply situation continuing to improve, we were finally able to show the true sales potential of the Proton X50. The company is immensely proud of the model becoming the first SUV to be crowned as the best-selling vehicle in Malaysia,” said Proton deputy CEO Roslan Abdullah.
In case you missed it, the Proton X50 can now be updated over-the-air with the Aco Tech Local Automotive Services (or better known as ATLAS) operating system.
The new operating system comes with improved user interface, voice recognition, navigation while offering the Spotify streaming service. The update can be performed by owners themselves, without having to visit a Proton service centre.
Where’s Ativa.
Forget it i don’t even see them often on the road
You must be stay at cave too much, is time for you to get out from the cave. There are plenty of Ativa on the road
Because honda fanboys have been always whacking to other brands until today with their free time as usual
Ativa is game changer
Yeah for whom exactly? It hasn’t changed the market, as it still remain primarily sedan/hatchback. It didn’t turn into a mass mover for Perodua with middling sales. It didn’t change much how buyers use their cars, it is a very small car but with higher ground. So what did it change?
In July, Proton recorded sales of 11,477 units (domestic and export), despite a temporary hiatus pending price approval from the authorities for some of its models.
Congratulations Proton. Time to gear up for January launch of X90 prior to CNY. Sedan before Hari Raya
Geely really a miracle! Even though Geely cars are not among the top in its industry but for Malaysian just like Ferrari level of cars!
We should use the definition more precisely.
In Taiwan, 国产车，mean cars manufactured in their country, something buat kereta buatan Malaysia。
自主品牌车，mean national car, regardless where is the manufacturing sites, as long as, own by themselves, RnD themselves
Not like Proton, own by private person, not belong to Malaysia and not RnD by ourselves. RnD can be done by foreigners but we are the one who lead the direction, just like korean cars.
Correction! 51% stake in Proton is still owned by our DRB Hicom. Therefore, Proton is still ours.
Lol stop promoting atlas! Akotek scammed us with the Android version and buggy firmware!
Tahniah! Ini kalilah rakyat Malaysia have made the right choice!
Spot on Hafriz! You’ve hit the nail on critics heads!
Hafriz: “You’d just get in the car and it’s better”
Hafriz: “This is a definite step forward for X50.. and it is an exciting one”
Hafriz: “To me it’s another step forward towards an intelligent and connected experience with our cars and that can only be a good thing”
Hafriz: “It has a significant effect on your whole experience of interactin with this car”
Hafriz: “Now properly optimised for right hand drive use. Local input and optimisation is always a good thing in my books”
Hafriz: “You can now customise what he/she calls you or whatever you want”
Hafriz: “The very thing that makes AtlasOS unique is that you don’t need to have a phone to have a connected experience with this car (*shakes head on waiting to pair a phone via CP/AA*). You don’t need to have phone plugged up or a dock or phoneholder taking up space and blocking the screen.”
Hafriz: “Check it out for yourselves you will be surprised. That is the beauty of a connected OS with OTA updates. It will be improved thru your ownership experience”
Hafriz: “The possibility of this is super exciting to the next level”
Hafriz: “Driven thru kampung roads without data, this can still work there. Directions are even displayed on your main instrument cluster. Folks do give it a try, you will be pleasently surprised”
Hafriz: “I don’t even have to take my phone out of my pocket”
Hafriz: “How cool is that. Pretty damn cool”
Good job Hafriz
Jilat… jgn x jilat…
Salah tu. Lepas jilat tiup, lagi sejuk beku.
Hafriz is a user, you are just a troll. I tend to believe the user’s words.
80k+ car… Malaysians all kaya raya eh?
Yup. In order to be the ultimate developed nation. We need to sell it at multifold price. If me, I’ll sell entry level sedan which is Saga at 99,888k. If Nepal can, why cannot we? Capitalist at its best.
Only temporary beating Honda City lar
People love proton as primary choice because of high tech. But that time with chip shortage for proton, people have no choice, but to buy honda because it looks cheap but not because it is good. Without chip shortage, sales will definitely change as primary will be bigger than secondary
People love P1?
Are you high or what? Pls enlighten me which part people love it?
We as Rakyat actually no choice since 1985.
Even though this Geely was rebadged by P1, but few design changes, did you think P1 is now more advanced than Honda, although there was still ongoing shortages for both P1 and Honda?
B40 dah kaya,
Many buy HR-V and X50.
RM2k-RM3k salary loan also can approve, janji d/p cukup.
Hahaha
Many have cancelled booking HRV to switch for booking X50 and others
And then merengek like a wild boar ask gov for F bantuan.
Proton deceived innocent Pakisrani customers. A highly non committed company. The company is not even able the pay refunds against cancellations. Dont commit if you cant deliver.
Here Malaysian since 1985 dude.
Look at who is selling those cars in your country. It certainly isn’t Proton.
But Proton should monitor it right? As it will tarnish the brand reputation. Don’t simply lepas tangan like wild boar melepaskan anaknya.
I believe inside P1 not an animal innit?
Everyone’s sale figure is now based on how many they can delivery in a month. Order books for all major brands are full till year end.
Like this good tho. Now they no need to throw big discount / rebate etc. Because rakyat still buy it. So, it’s in your hand.
Silent for the future
proton should produce at least 17k a month to catch up with perodua. The booking is there, but the delivery is not.
Proton RnD is diminishing. No more indigenous home made design and fabricated by local. As a result many engineering graduates work in assembly lines assembling the parts. Thanks to Boss Tak Reti Malu who sold our real national car to a Chinese company.. The Tak Malu one still proud he sold and “saved” Proton.
If not becoz of that Chinese company bought our Proton that day, surely Proton is already ‘a-gone-case’ by now. Learn to be more grateful human ok..Thanks to bossku also. He never be so kepohci (not like atok) to interfere all the decisions made by DRB Hicom management team in choosing Geely as the strategic partner of Proton. YOU MADE THE BEST CHOICE! KUDOS.
good job china showing how to make car right now is time to show the world how powerful you are.
Kayanya malaysians. B40 is probably buying less cars than M40. Which explains why saga or axia/bezza is not best seller while an RM85k SUV is the best seller. Maybe some ppl with Rm1.6k basic also buy X50
Either way its not sending a good signal to those menteri atas. Economy is good so they can raise taxes and OPR.
Biforti join loan can apply. No prob. At the end of the day can merengek for susu (bantuan) from the gahmen.
And gahmen as usual will give the susu, as they know their bulk of votes come from the intelligent biforti.
