2025 Proton X50 facelift open for booking – early birds get RM1,000 cash rebate; prices only at launch

The 2025 Proton X50 facelift (or all-new, according to Proton) is now open for booking. First 10,000 customers will also receive a RM1,000 cash rebate, exclusive “Gempak Deal” that will be revealed at the official launch, as well as a special edition Touch ‘n Go card. As usual, the actual prices will only be unveiled at launch.

We’ve already covered the new X50 extensively, so do refer to our earlier story detailing exactly what’s new and what’s not, including a complete breakdown of the three available variants: Executive, Premium and Flagship. You may also watch my walk-around videos below, available in both English and Bahasa Melayu, just like the new X50’s upgraded Hi Proton voice recognition system.

Just to recap, the 2025 X50 gets a heavily updated look on the outside based on the Geely Binyue L, an entirely new interior claimed to have been fully designed in-house by Proton, as well as a 181 PS/290 Nm 1.5 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine from a new i-GT engine family. The motor is codenamed the BHE15TD, developed by Aurobay – a Geely-Volvo joint venture (based in Sweden) that is now part of Horse Powertrain, a Geely-Renault JV.

    tbh, those 2 tone colors (interior or exterior) makes the car look cheapo…

    Not going to choose the flagship even it’s cheaper than the premium, useless sunroof and parking assists plus ugly red interior, luckily no fancy rear light show like the s70.

  • Yo, putting booking down before price is announced should be ruled illegal.. I know this is common practice, but it shouldn’t be. Our consumer protection law is nonexistent — KDPN where are you?
