Verdict
The Perodua Traz costs RM76,100, RM13,700 less than the Proton X50 at RM89,800, yet brings a much larger 471-litre boot against 330 litres and a 2,620 mm wheelbase. It is the practical family choice, with ASA 3.0 braking from 4-120 km/h, pedestrian detection and lane-keeping steering correction. The X50 earns its extra outlay with 178 hp and 290 Nm versus 105 hp and 138 Nm, cutting 0-100 km/h to 7.6 seconds. Choose the Traz for space and safety hardware; choose the X50 for outright performance and a richer cabin interface.
Pick the Perodua Traz if you want the RM13,700 saving, a 471-litre boot and active safety including ASA 3.0 with pedestrian detection.
Pick the Proton X50 if 178 hp, 290 Nm, a 7.6-second 0-100 km/h time and its 14.6-inch touchscreen matter more than boot capacity.
