The Proton X90 has been launched in Bangladesh last week, according to BNN, which reported that the SUV is set for local assembly in the country by the end of this year.
The three-row SUV gets its Bangladesh-market introduction a little under one year after it made its debut in May 2023. A sum of US$100 million (RM472.9 million) has been allocated for the establishing of a manufacturing facility within the Rancon industrial park. Rancon is a Bangladesh-based conglomerate that is the distributor of Proton vehicles in the country.
While Bangladesh has been in the list of Proton’s export markets, it also has been the site of Proton’s local assembly operations before, with the Preve commencing local assembly in the country in 2017.
In Bangladesh, as in Malaysia, the Proton X90 is powered by a 1.5 litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine as found in the X50 Flagship and X70 SUV, with a 48-volt mild-hybrid electrical system that augments outputs to 190 PS and 300 Nm, or 13 PS and 45 Nm up from the 177 PS and 255 Nm from the models without the belt-starter generator 48-volt system.

Proton has to fit the X90 with extremely heavy duty and durable horn. Bangladeshis love to use the horn all the time and all the way.
Bangglaysia! Bangga Banglaysia! Banggalaysia! You don’t need to come all the way to Malaysia to own a Proton X90
Banggala Boleh!
With the amount of Banglas already in this country, this could well be considered a “national” car.
Great guess now all the 1.5L TGDi 3Cyl will be made in Malaysia come forth to supply all over the world since Volvo has already remove its 3Cyl engine from AuroBay while China also kinda stop putting it into its cars and only left sold for our X50/Coolray sold in Philippines & Malaysia.
Malaysia become dumping ground for unreliable 3 pot engine
