Following its media preview in March and first drive last month, the Proton X90 is now officially on sale in Malaysia, having been launched earlier this evening by prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Based on the Geely Haoyue, which is also known as the Geely Okavango in other markets such as the Philippines, the national automaker’s third X series model after the X70 and X50 arrives on the scene in four variant forms and with a choice of six- and seven-seat interior layouts.
The variants are the Standard, Executive, Premium and Flagship, and of these, three (Standard, Executive and Premium) are seven-seaters, featuring a 2-3-2 seven-seat configuration with a bench middle-row. The Flagship is the only six-seat version, and has a 2-2-2 six-seat layout with a pair of second-row captain seats, similar to the Exora Prime.

We’ve detailed most of the X90 in our walk-around of it at the preview, but here’s a recap of what’s on the SUV, which goes up against three-row competitors such as the Mazda CX-8, Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento.
Here’s Haoyue look with a new grille
Measuring in at 4,835 mm long, 1,900 mm wide and 1,785 mm tall, the X90 is 316 mm longer and 69 mm wider than the X70, and its 2,815 mm wheelbase makes it 145 mm longer than that of the X70.
Given that it’s a rebadged Haoyue, the exterior doesn’t veer away much from the donor model, with the only discernible changes being a new grille, one with chrome pins expanding out from the Proton logo, and fog lamp surrounds finished in black instead of chrome as found on the Geely version.
The headlights are full LED units, but unlike the adaptive LED projector example as seen on the Haoyue/Okavango, are lower-spec full LED reflector units. The design features solid-type LED daytime running lights presented in an L shape – this doubles up as the turn signal, which light up in sequential fashion.
At the back, there are no changes from the donor vehicle. Incidentally, the X90 doesn’t get the new rear as seen on the refreshed Haoyue, but the wheels are from the update. The higher end X90 variants (Premium, Flagship) ride on two-tone machine finish 19-inch units, wrapped with 235/50 Continental EcoContact 6 rubbers. Meanwhile, the Standard and Executive variants are equipped with 18-inch wheels and 225/55 profile tyres.

Going mild-hybrid, and with a different rear suspension configuration
The X90 is powered by a 1.5 litre three-cylinder turbocharged GDI engine, similar to that on the X50 Flagship as well as the newer X70 models, but with the addition of a 48V mild-hybrid system, which integrates six key components – belt-starter generator (BSG), DC-DC converter, lithium-ion battery, battery management system, recuperation braking system and the hybrid module control system – into its workings.
The inclusion of the mild-hybrid system has bumped output numbers up, with the 190 PS and 300 Nm on tap being 13 PS and 45 Nm more than the 177 PS and 255 Nm on the 1.5 TGDI without the BSG. Aside from more power and torque, the company says that mild hybrid boosted powertrain improves standing start acceleration by up to 10%, passing acceleration by up to 15% and reduces CO2 emissions by up to 13% compared to the 1.5 litre engine in the base X70.
The mill – which is made in Proton’s Tanjung Malim engine assembly plant for the X70 MC – is paired with the automaker’s familiar seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with power being sent to the front wheels. You’ll note “48V EMS” badges below the wing mirrors of the car – this is the branding identifier for the X90, and the EMS stands for electric motor synergy.
As has been mentioned previously, the Haoyue has a choice of two different rear suspensions, these being a torsion beam layout and an independent multi-link setup. On the X90, Proton has opted for the multi-link configuration, which it says offers improved drivability and comfort levels. Additionally, the automaker says it has tuned the suspension for Malaysian roads.
A well-presented interior, with plenty of kit and tech
As it is with the exterior, the interior from the Haoyue has been carried over, with just the switch to a right-hand drive layout and a Proton logo on the steering wheel boss cover the only changes. A quick mention of cargo space – there’s 257 litres with the third row seats up in place, and 2,050 litres with the second and third row seats folded down.
Standard equipment for the X90 includes fabric seats, a reverse camera and dual-zone air-conditioning. The SUV also features independent rear AC, with all rows on the SUV getting air vents (roof-mounted, on the second and third rows), as well as a G-Clean system, incorporating a N95 cabin filter and ioniser.
Also to be found is a full-width 10-inch digital instrument panel (from the Executive onwards; the Standard comes with an analogue meter cluster) and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with a 1920 x 720 pixel display resolution. Running on an ACO Tech ATLAS OS, the system features a higher-spec processor and has 6 GB of RAM as well as 64 GB of internal storage. There’s still no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto support though, so users will have to rely on ATLAS’ native maps for navigation.

As for charging points for mobile devices, all three rows get them, and there are seven in all, ranging from USB Type-A and Type-C connections to wireless charging (the latter, from the Premium on). As you’d expect, the wireless charger is located in front, and aside fro a pair of Type A ports below the AC controls, there’s a USB port hidden behind the rear view mirror to power dash cams. The middle row gets a Type A and a Type C port each, while the third row gets two Type A ports.
Convenience functions include proximity auto unlock, where the vehicle will sense the keyfob approaching and unlock the doors automatically, as well as walk-away auto lock, where the system will lock the doors once you move away from the vehicle.
The Executive variant adds on front ventilated seats, with the driver’s side being a six-way power adjustable unit. The upholstery gets bumped up to leatherette, an intelligent powered tailgate, a 360-degree camera with 3D display and a tyre pressure monitoring system.
The next step up is the Premium, which adds on the aforementioned 19-inch wheels and wireless mobile charging. The ADAS active safety suite introduces three new driver assist items in the form of rear cross traffic alert, rear collision warning and traffic sign information. The variant also adds on auto park assist and Nappa leather upholstery, while the front passenger seat is now a four-way power adjustable unit.
Aside from its unique seating layout in comparison to the rest of the X90 range, the six-seater Flagship adds on a large panoramic sunroof and a front passenger ‘Boss’ switch, which allows the seat to be moved forward to provide more in the way of legroom for the second row occupant seated behind it.
The second-row captain seats, which are essentially the front seats with the addition of MPV-style adjustable armrests, are also ventilated, bringing the total of ventilated seats to four on the Flagship. The seats can be manually adjusted fore and aft, and each seat can be individually reclined.
Colours and pricing
Six colour options are available for the X90, and these are Snow White, Armour Silver, Jet Grey (available for all four variants), Cinnamon Brown, Ruby Red (both available from the Executive on) and a new shade called Marine Blue, which is available only for the Premium and Flagship.
Finally, these are the prices of the 2023 Proton X90 variants (all on-the-road, without insurance):
- Proton X90 1.5L Standard (seven-seater) – RM123,800
- Proton X90 1.5L Executive (seven-seater) – RM130,800

The automaker also announced packages and offers for the SUV at the launch. The X90 will come with a five-year unlimited mileage warranty as well as free labour for six services. There’s also a five-year data connectivity package of 1GB a month for the car as well as interest rates from as low as 2.1% and various benefits available through the Proton insurance programme.
It added that early bird packages await the first 4,000 buyers. This adds 4GB of data to the five-year connectivity package, and buyers will also receive a Proton X-Watch worth RM1,499 and a complimentary accessories package (footwell lighting, coil floor mats and a boot tray) worth RM779.

Better and more worth than Mazda CX-8
And also better than CX-5
So many choices of 7 seater rm120k+
Mitsubishi Outlander
Toyota Innova
Nissan Serena
Mazda CX-8
Toyota Fortuner
But just careful or wait for high spec,
Many of them are low spec.
ALZA the Best 7seater rm62k only
fuel consumption
X50 (1,380kg)= 7.7L/100km (13km/L)
X90 (1,740kg)= ???
hope the 48V hybrid system can save back.. but hybrid cars always bad RV in Malaysia due to maintenance cost of the battery etc.
Different segment ley. We discuss SUV here not MPV or pickup (ladder frame chassis). To compare with CX8, CX9, Sorento, Santa Fe. On premium side Q7, X7.
x90 still not rugged suitable going Felda, soft looks like Exora
Landrover Jeep Hilux Ranger Baru Keras
Better than new Axia….
King of B segment sedan, C segment SUV, B segment SUV, C segment MPV, now will be king of D segment SUV.
Habeslah P2!
Completely Geely made. Price shall be lower. Malaysia grill design better than chine version. Thanks to proton R&D grill design team
Vios is RM69k in Mexico. Price shall be lower in Malaysia too, as it’s completely Toyota made.
Proton is RM20k more expensive than Geely?
Vios in Malaysia is RM31k more expensive than Vios elsewhere?
Lol, u better questioning those rm50k so called dnga platform axia that have worse NVH & suspension comfort tuning than rm36k saga that only using saga BLM platform
Are u sure X90’s overall quality & engine output + handling will be better than cx8 ?
CX8 priced very high than X90 but maintenance price between CX8 and X90 have no difference. X90 is cheaper than CX8 but X90 is better spec than CX8. Spare parts for proton also shorter waiting period than mazda
Feeling same as yours. Onwed both of mazda and proton but know that proton is better than mazda
CX-8 free 5 year maintenance. what talking you?
Proton ownership experience & servicec are no match compared to Mazda. Keep living in delusion my dear Malaysian
I owned both of Mazda CX-8 facelift and Proton X70. Thought that mazda should be more reliable than proton but mazda is giving me more headache compare to proton. Need to wait longer to replace parts for my mazda compare to my proton. Mazda quality defects came out after bought CX-8 for three months unlike my X70 also got defects can able to handle longer than mazda. Yet, proton sc can able to solved problem than mazda.
nice try proton salesman
This means you don’t owned mazda and proton and yet claimed that mazda is better than proton….how can it be
Craftsss is an owner that owned both of mazda and proton but yet you blah to him that he is proton salesman…..no brain this Roti Canai
Found the one living in delusion
Sembang kari je ko ni
You still stick outdated mazda and can’t accept new p1 design. Even Chery have better looking cars than mazda
because mazda salesmen still can’t accept proton-geely, chery and byd, that’s why they come here to bash
Standard and Executive variants are jokes. RM120-130k in 2023 and no ADAS?
At least still got BSM & RCTA
Did they? Referring to carbase.my, both of these specs do not come with either of them.
If they do come with then I think the pill is slightly easier to swallow then. Still I will prefer minimal with AEB and BSM though.
Really, read proton specs picture. Already mentioned
I stand corrected. After going through Proton own brochure seems like they do offer BSM and RCTA. Too bad no AEB, else will be very compelling.
If comparing with CX5 & CX8, better specs and better safety. X90 standard spec and X90 executive spec also similar features as both low spec for CX5 & CX8, yet X90 also cheaper than CX5 & CX8
X90 able to get preferential pricing due to germen protection.If getting high taxes like Mazda,it might not be so easy to sell.
Why get Mazda CX-8 when X90 looks fresh, sleeker and brand new than buying CX-8 that makes interior more boring
Because proton… aftersales is crap.
But better than mazda…mazda aftersales is really more crap and waiting period for spare parts for mazda is getting longer than proton
Jadi mau bising apa lgi harga dapat murah. Low tax kan advantage. Kenapa buang masa assume jika tax tinggi? Kan benda tu tidak berlaku?
It’s supposed to be way cheaper without the tax imposed.
This means the car is overly priced
I mean there is no argument that both of them are equally bad in this case.
But I mean I do hope for more from a company which introduces ESC as standard few years ago to do more in active safety side when the main competitor is crushing them in this aspect. They did so well in passive safety that it is so disappointing to see them fail so miserably in active safety.
Mmg cheaper lah kalo handicap. Cuba buang protection tuh, mau ke beli P1 tuh?
Bijak pnya comparison.
Kira advantage utk P1 la kan
Lu hidup tahun bila. Cek tu masih ada lagi ke proctection skrg ni. Yg ada cuma grant dr gomen. Toyota Honda pun dapt grant dr kerajaan diaorg di Jepun. So…
Slagi ade rakyat mcm ko nih, mmg easy la kena gula2. Nah amek choki2 nih.
Same shit, different smell. Get it?
For that price point, is it really worth it? Me personally, I’d just get a Toyota Corolla Cross.
Go get what you want dude..
Personal preference. Though that both Corolla Cross and X90 are good, but Corolla Cross not suitable to compare with X90.
Different segment
Different segment lah. If I say “For Corolla Cross’s price point, I’d just get a Ativa”, you will also disagree.
Personally, I would get for a superbike. And others would go for a 3t lorry to transport cement. Btw: What are you trying to tell us?
The weight x70 (1675kg) / x90 (1740kg) = 4% difference in weight yet it is able to improves standing start acceleration by up to 10%, passing acceleration by up to 15% and reduces CO2 emissions by up to 13% compared to the 1.5 litre engine in the base X70.
Now one will wonder why that x70 is so Heavy despite having no hybrid-battery and a considerable smaller car.
X90 like the Exora, can drink more fuel than Preve?
Weight gain 80kg is still alot, can drink more fuel if comes with X70 powerful 1.8tgdi.
48V also only a battery starter car?
No Electric mode after startup.
Not the weight, but the 190hp (compared to X70’s 177hp) is the reason for improved acceleration.
I wonder when the next “expert” will pop up, who claims, that acceleration is better due to the longer wheelbase.
idk about you but if proton prices are already encroaching (and exceeding!!) foreign car prices, then is there really a need for proton to begin with? now i know there will be those that say “find a 6/7 seater suv priced below RM150k” and i say you are missing the plot. wasn’t the whole idea of proton and perodua to help bring affordable cars to the masses? but at this price, who is even buying this car? even the base model isn’t ‘affordable’. moreover, when this car was launched in china, it was priced from RM62k to RM84k (after conversion). so what gives? ok so if you say that proton had to invest in setting up their factory etc for this car’s ckd production, the same car is sold in the philippines for just a little over RM100k (after conversion). not impressed at all tbh. get rid of proton (and perodua) i say. let malaysians enjoy other marques besides proton and perodua. it’s so sad that so many of us simply have to settle for these two brands because the cars are too damn expensive. well that, and our salaries are a literal joke but that’s a conversation for a different forum.
Agreed. Byk kat sini benak btol compare dgn kereta jenama luar (insert here), lepas tu compare PRICE? Value for money and so on. Padahal kena scam idup2 je.
Mmg jd ‘Value 4 money’ lah kalo benda ada ‘protection’.
Kang ckp bodo kang marah, tp hakikatnya itu lah.
Literally handicap match. Pastu nak BANGGA. Bangang adalah.
Sebut pasal handicap, ko ingat mazda takde handicap card ke? Jepun punya revolusi industri lebih awal, ada ratusan juta org dalam domestic market.
Lg satu rakyat nih, da tahu kita xda capacity ratusan juta, abes yg ko nk bina buat ape?
Unless ko ade udang sebalik mee, jgn buat2 x tahu la weh.
Skali lg, sbb ade rakyat mcm ko ni la sng digula2 kan. Nak amek choki2 nih.
Gi bucu katil tu utk ‘bersyukur’ spt biasa.
Bro, kau duduk malaysia kena ikut cara malaysia. Rasa Philippines murah p la duduk sana. Bersyukur dgn apa yg ada. Philippines harga minyak 1L brp? Bandingkan dgn malaysia. Dan knp tidak bising dgn tax rate car d Singapura.
Apa kaitan siot? Kemaruk sangat ke dengan brand P1? Hahahaha
hidup kap Brunei je. Minyak murah GILA BABI. Electrik pun murah gila babi. kereta import semua pun murah gila babi. malaysia ni scam rakyat je.
Sbb atas alasan tiket ‘bersyukur’ itu lah sng utk digula2 kan.
Mmg bes btol dpt rakyat mcm ko nih.
Nnti pesan kat anak cucu ko suh ‘bersyukur’ ya. Sng sket anak cucu aku nk fight jd pemerintah nnti.
Oh yes.
Bising harga X90 dkt china dan Philippines lgi murah dri malaysia. Tidak bersyukur punya org. P lah duduk china merasa harga minyak rm5.40/liter. Philippines RM4.82. Belum cerita kos sara hidup dekat sana lgi. House market, etc.
Hello, sekurang2 nya aku fight utk negara aku. Drpd ko nama pun da mcm bangang salam minyak dari brunei. Tah ye tah tidak dari brunei ko tuh. Kalo ko org brunei x yah semak dgn isu msia, duk sana gi mnom petrol tu slagi ada la kan. And if ko org msia letak nama mcm tu, da terang2 ko ni cacat akal.
Mls btol aku nk paste link byk2 kali, tp jumpa jgk org mcm ko ni.
Last but not least, btaw generasi ko utk ‘bersyukur’ je walaupun kne tindas ya. Sbb aku x kan didik generasi aku mcm ko didik generasi ko.
Bersiap sedia lah.
“so what gives?”.
Car production strives from large volumes. The larger the production volume, the more affordable a car can be.
Back in 2020, a Japan imported RAV4 was more affordable than a locally assembled CRV in Langkawi.
Malaysian could get more affordable cars if we only imported cars and didn’t impose hefty taxes on imported cars… but a local automotive manufacturing sector helps the economy, indirectly supporting Malaysians.
People always forget about the gov tax when comparing about car (price/feature etc) local and foreign brand. Tax is the key here. No surprise since its easy/more preferable to compare cars with similar price.
things that u want :
1. car for the masses
2. cheap
solution from ur logic, kasi kolos all foreign brands here and just let ppl use proton and perodua only, confirm masses will use, sure can get this x90 below 100k bcoz they have econ of scale mcm china, thus making this x90 pinnacle of luxury in this country
Partially agreed that our previous leaders mess up all the car prices here in Malaysia throughout the 40 years giving to corny vendors making us less competitive to all our neighbors.
However Geely Okavango is sold at ₱ 1,523,000 (RM122k) which is similar to our price noted that their are fully CBU however one need to take note that their version is with the cheaper Torsion Beam suspension while their top spec also do not have ADAS Lv.2 unlike ours.
Car prices in automobile-industry-less Denmark are the highest in the world. What makes you think, that after P1 and P2 are removed, people can enjoy foreign cars?
“Denmark supports a high standard of living—its per capita gross national product is among the highest in the world—with well-developed social services.” – Britannica
“There are special taxes and fees associated with purchasing a car in Denmark. The most common fee is the registration tax, based on the vehicle’s value and age. This tax can range from 10-180% of the vehicle’s value.” – cphpost.dk
Even for SECOND HAND cars a tax up to 180% of the cars value have to be paid in Denmark.
Any product will get cheaper if mass produced, you can imagine yourself the production volume diff between China and Msia.
As for why we should produce our own even if pricey?
Without local companies like Proton/Petronas, you wouldn’t even be able afford the lower imported prices.
The banks, the manufacturing industry, the microchip industry all depends on money staying put, not out.
Money flowing out of country is obviously bad for economy.
Then why create it at the first place? Should I put the link here again?
The base X90 definitely will cannabalise some top spec X70 sales.
By topping up a bit ,instead of top spec X50..one may get the base X90 if size does matter to a big family,alto it may drink more petrol.
In terms of mere size n seating capacity n pricing,it seems X90 beat the competition flat.Those contemplating big mpvs might save a bit by opting for this X90.
So,the SUVs comprise 40% product range of P1 .
P1 fanboys who do not want Suvs may have to wait a bit longer for the sedan n mpv new models.
I m no fan of P1,but have to acknowledge P1 is capitalising on the rising SUV market.
looks like Exora
Of course la looks like exora. Because those 2 are cars. You want the X90 to have airplane shape or what?
No sunshade no auto car play? Why? Really don’t get it. But Overall is the most worth so call luxury suv you can get in this country. Beat all including the coming new innova.
Because most of their buyer are pakcik B40. You think they know how to use/will use it?
Such heavy car with such smaller engine what a shame
Imagine full load 6-7pax going up to genting. I guess Axia will go up faster than it
Another example of people who couldn’t understand power output. Literally the basic. The power to weight ratio of this car is enough for what it is. I don’t think it’s even close to being underpowered.
Are u serious thinking that Axia no passenger will faster than full passenger X90? U really think this 1.5 engine will have same output as 1.5 Myvi?
I see review X90 lack of puff after 130km/h.
But you are right, Nak laju boleh laju mana
Yes, the X90 needs a powerful 106PS 4cyl. engine like the Vios.
Affordable car for Malaysian. Kuddos
What is the reason for having a national car?
1. Rakyat can afford to own a car, less than RM40k
2. Create jobs and develop own IP technologies
3. Export high volume to develop nations
I am sorry but Proton has failed, this is just a very expensive rebadged car for domestic consumption
Stopping our currency from going out of country.
Brader…
You think the highly marked up price for profit by Proton is all kept in Malaysia?
Geely won’t take their profit share out of Malaysia?
Do share some of whatever you’re smoking bro.
Then why create it at the first place brother?
Are you sure? And why now our currency encroaching RM5? So will bla bla bla others also?
Lame excuses.
Da pekat sgt kne brainwash x leh buat ape da labu.
The most overpriced tin kosong in Malaysia with “quality”! Jap and Koroean cars are not much better in terms of stability at high speed compared to Merc/BMW, but at least they come with reputation of better after sales service and realiabity. Potong? They come from rebadging Jap cars to now Chinese cars!
Not necessary that japanese and korean cars are more reliable, my friends owned either japanese and korean cars that was toyota and kia, yeah more reliable and better aftersales. But some like mazda, mazda should be more reliable than proton, but mazda is giving me more headache than proton, knowing that I owned both CX-8 and X70.
Jap and Korean from their 110km/h countries are “not much better in terms of stability at high speed compared to Merc/BMW” from Autobahn land? Ah so…
Btw: Where in Japan or Korea they go “high speed”?
Looking at the price bracket, Exora will have another 10 years lifespanand another 3 facelifts.
Then exora should be cheaper right? RIGHT?
Awd? Suv must have awd for added safety.
So much of suv, when is proton bringing s50 sedan??
I think the coming chery tigo pro will challenge this flagship price. 250hp
I will wait and see.
As always, highly marked up price for profit.
Proton no longer a car for the rakyat.
More like dumping ground to recoup profit
It’s proven with the amount of stock in the yard now at all Proton dealerships and Tg. Malim.
Hope not to see another round of bulk purchase of these Xs to be gomen dept cars.
Maintenance is high, spareparts incomplete with even crucial service parts out of stocks for months at a time.
So many got cheated thinking buying a Rakyat car having higher specs with lower price but the fact is, you’re comparing with cars after high tax imposed.
Try comparing them at their base prices.
That’s why I say it’s overly marked up price for profit.
As always, Protons are best bought used due to its high depreciation value and no need go back to SC for maintenance.
High depreciation? Perodua’s depreciation is way higher, as after they found cheating, they now lower the prices for NEW cars. Poor bodohs who believed in RV and who paid the full price a few weeks ago…
What have you been smoking dude?
Please share some so everyone can have lower IQ and be happier.
Nice car, great advanced tech, luxury, top notch quality.
Ready for export.
Old tech compare to Haval H6 or Tiggo 8 pro. Especially the belt driven 48V motor, which will give you headache after warranty.
for that price, i’ll prefer a nissan serena compare to X90.
Lol fanboy proton marah model baru kene bash.banyak dislike je.
Tw xpe. If benda ni klua tahun 90an-2000 blh la nk kencing and bodokan rakyat. Zaman skrg mmg x lah, semua hujung jari je beb. Mmg x leh lari pnya.
I must say that the grille design is very nice. Proton has gone a long way in designing grille.
FUGLY ! FUGLY ! FUGLY ! … no one noticed ! I guess the aesthetic sense of the ppl its being offered to died !
Beauty is in eye beholder
Dear Paultan.org, is there any chance, they will bring the AWD with 1.8T here like they have it in other market?

Proton’s offerings will likely be built around the 1.5T engine as they will make the engine locally.

very unlikely. In general Malaysians dont need 4WD. Only a specific group of people require 4WD because driving in estate roads. But truth is, if you need to drive pal estate roads, this X90 isnt the car for you. It’s not tough enough. Possible bend chassis and doors cant open after a few trips!
Highly unlikely as it’s obvious that Geely is using Proton as dumping ground for the unwanted 1.5 3 cylinder engine.
This is to recover their money invested in creating the engine.
Toyota btw uses the Yaris GR as the dumping ground for the unwanted 3cyl engine? LOL…
wah..suddenly so expensive…waste time only all these national cars ….not benefitting the rakyat also…better close shop and get lost
Better than CX8. Think upcoming Chery Tiggo Pro should be better. I am thinking both of Chery Tiggo Pro or Proton X90 to replace my CX-8 that have so many problems
Proton at rm150k…
this car makes my Toyota cross feels cheaper and good value.
YOUR TOYOTA GOT ROCKET BOOSTER ?
Proton X90 release brake only the car will SHOOT OFF
Toyota cross is a 7-seater since when?
The power of Proton 1.5TGDi hybrid from the original non hybrid x50 – 4 (quad) exhaust pipe to x70 – 2 (dual) big exhaust pipe to x90 Hybrid only left 1 (single) exhaust pipe all in the name of Euro 5 emission but then the non-hybrid version of the engine is also Euro 5 compliant.
The x90 roughly double up the price of the Exora. The price keras for mid income potential buyer with big family, Who take bike to work and only use the car bringing family out weekend and balik kampung. So no choice but tempah the alza and wait 1 year.
123k for a proton? Buyers are insane buying this proton badged geely
Cantiknya ni
Still no Android Auto and Apple Carplay in 2023?
Got AtlasOS have different tech and more cooler to use
Why the pirated copy of the car is more expensive than the original? It was only rm67k n this BS cost rm124k? Please comment proton geng. Sudah kena kencing kuyup, tak perasan ke? Hahaha!
Rocky price in Indon only RM 50k but here Ativa brother is 70k. Apa lanju? Axia Indon only 20k datang sini 50k, Myvi pon 50k jugak tapi keta lagi besaq apa lanju?
P2 fanbois kena kencing 30 taun maseh belum bangun tapi nak kencing P1 fanbois. Bodo kan? Hahahaha!
One word …. UGLY !!!
Beauty is in eye beholder
If Chery Tiggo 8 Pro full spec comes in around RM 165k then this X90 will be in great challenged. RM 152k for national car is expensive. Most likely only mid top M20 or T20 afford this but how many people of this group willing to pay for the badge of Proton at RM 152k.
I love this car with AtlasOS and cooler
Good car!!!
Harga tofu sudah naik ke?
This is not the first time. Those not afford keep condemn CX8 so that they will not feel shame when they buy X90. This happened before when those wanted to buy X70 and keep condemned CX5. When you tell X90 is better than CX8, go to showroom and feel the built quality, go test drive and feel the NVH.
I tried both proton and mazda which my friends have, though not an owner of proton and mazda but I drove two toyota (Estima and Camry) and honda (civic), but trust me proton feel built quality is better than mazda while mazda and proton have same NVH. Spare parts for proton is easier to get than mazda. It is not about hating proton but keep defending cx8 or condemning mazda and defending proton, but trust me bro. If you tried both proton and mazda. I’m not playing with you
It does not matter. They can pretend any identity and try to give fair comment here. If you like a car and trust it is in fact a good car, not need to condemn other car to show your opinion is right. I agree with you. These people only afford to buy Proton but scare others will laugh at them. Therefore, they try to condemn Mazda cx8 to make a feeling that they are making the right decision, not because of they do not afford.
Coz you are Proton hater!
I beg to differ, I’m in CRV G5 group and they’re always make fun of X70 as their car always better, people will drooling seeing their car rather than a China car yada yada. They always say their car a class above and head turner on the road. It gives me cringe feeling to those community. I just about to study the car and own one. Seeing such mentality in those community, MY CRV G5 owner club to be exact, I don’t know what to think anymore. Why so insecure. Seriously pathetic lol
40 years of lost identity
But after forming with Geely, looks better than old proton era. Now proton have improved a lot but only service cost not very cheap than japanese cars like honda & toyota but cheaper than mazda. Also rating time for spare parts is also easier as toyota & honda unlike mazda
Was thinking whether to get either X90 or Chery. I recently went to Malaysia autoshow, Chery is also good.
No blind sport monitor ?
the renamed it as lane change assist (LCA) in the brochure
In my experience, Proton has provided excellent service as a car maintenance center in Malaysia. Their availability of parts allows for a smooth replacement of major car components during repairs, and their thorough checks during servicing ensure a comprehensive assessment of the vehicle’s condition. Additionally, their efficient handling of warranty claims is a valuable asset.
Mantap
35 Millions Malaysians decide on that Not a few handful ktard dogs barking daily PROTON NO PARTS
Units SOLD is benchmark
Still no android auto and apple carplay? RIP Proton!
Launched since last week over 5 days any news receive order qty ? I think respond from market so so or low demand because of price issue…
Surely low lah.
If it was great, based on previous experience… Proton would have declared it immediately. Tak boleh kalah attitude.
They have truly underestimated the Rakyat’s IQ.
For that price and profit margin, we might was well go for the new Nissan Serena with lower interest, bigger more comfortable, lower maintenance in the long run and definately higher resale value.
I think this model lower market demand become failed model , Alza waiting list 9m to 1y , with this price can by 2 unit of Perodua car (Ativa + Alza) DNGA …, Proton need to consider discount 15k to 20k ….to push out the stock qty , if not during 2024 still need to sell 2023 model…
Bring the FY 11 here please
Am looking forward to s 2.0 litres X90
When paultan.org doing x90 premium test drive. Can try if a family have 2 car seats, how can they fetch a family of 5 + 2 grandparents. Based on my observations after i check the x90 at showroom, it end up like a sedan with bigger booot only.
Geely should be allowed to sell direct its own cars in this country rather than partnering with proton and drb hicom so that geely can sell cheaper. Geely doesnot need to share profits with the other companies that causing the price reach end buyers double triple. Ordinary people also dont have to pay double with higher price >rm100k for bigger family cars. Selling cars online direct from china is better. Cut cost the showroom, offices, commissions etc. Also let the proton and drb develop and sell thier own car versions to compete with the other car companies in not negative ways. Otherwise proton existence will be numbered.
