Overview
The Proton X50 is a five-seat B-segment SUV for buyers wanting a petrol, front-wheel-drive crossover with 178 hp and a wet dual-clutch automatic. The current SX11 FL generation launched in 2025 with a substantially revised exterior. Prices start from RM89,800, putting the entry X50 RM1,000 above the Chery Tiggo Cross and below the Honda WR-V.
X50 in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the X50 range gains the Sport Edition at RM102,299. Based on the Flagship FL, it gets a full-black treatment, bodykit and red accents. The regular Executive, Premium and Flagship versions continue with the same 1,499 cc 178 hp petrol engine, front-wheel drive and wet dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the Executive at RM89,800. It has the same 1,499 cc 178 hp petrol engine, front-wheel drive, wet dual-clutch automatic and five-seat layout as every other X50. The Premium costs RM101,800, while the Flagship is RM113,300 and brings the prominent rear spoiler seen on the facelift. On paper, you are paying more for trim rather than mechanicals, so check the equipment list before committing to the RM12,000 Premium or RM23,500 Flagship step-up.
Verdict
The 2025 X50 remake is more than a light cosmetic refresh, with new head- and taillights, a larger lower grille and significant sheetmetal changes. It also quickly passed 10,000 sales after launch. The straightforward 178 hp powertrain across the range is a plus, but the three regular variants are mechanically identical. Pick the trim for its equipment, not for extra performance.
