The major redesign of the national carmaker’s B-segment SUV brings a new BHE15TD 1.5 litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, which succeeds the three-cylinder unit that featured before this update. This outputs 181 PS at 5,500 rpm and 290 Nm between 2,000 rpm and 3,500 rpm, representing gains of 4 PS and 35 Nm over the previous TGDi engine, and gains of 31 PS/64 Nm over the PFI engine.

New heart aside, the revised X50 wears a new look which, like its powerplant, is taken from the Geely Binyue L, most notably with its redesigned front fascia. Wheels are 17 to 18 inches in diameter on the X50 depending on variant. Its interior is of an in-house design, not shared with other Geely group models.

Also on is an ADAS suite with improved functionality for Level 2 assisted driving features including adaptive cruise control with stop and go and lane centring assist, an improved park assist system in the Flagship variant and six airbags as standard.

    4cyl a better made engine with more power and better fuel consumption, Timing Chain and just needed 4L of engine oil.

    Anyone knows if Proton specifically using the red 5L EO bottle for their new x50 or using the existing 4L yellow EO bottle because the red one is GF6 (latest standard) while the yellow is just GF5 standard released back in 2010.

  • Are the 4 tailpipes functional? Serious question.

    • They are functional and makes quite nice sound (for an OEM part) mated to the new 4 cylinder engine. Owners can further improve the sound and throttle response with a freer flowing system. One thing good about the X50 based on the Geely Coolray is there are plenty of aftermarket parts available.
