Rolling in Style – Wheels and Lights
From the first glance, the 2025 Proton X50 makes a striking impression — and a lot of that comes down to its updated wheels and lighting package.
The SUV now comes standard with 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels that give the X50 a stronger road presence and a more refined stance. The new wheel design is edgier, sportier, and more in line with global trends.
Lighting has received a premium touch as well. The 2025 model boasts full LED headlights with automatic high-beam assist. This improves night visibility significantly and offers a distinct daytime signature thanks to the updated LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs).
The rear LED taillights have also been redesigned with a sleeker shape and a more futuristic light bar integration. These changes don’t just boost aesthetics—they also enhance road safety by improving visibility in all conditions.
Power Beneath the Hood – Engine and Performance
Underneath the 2025 X50’s sculpted bonnet sits a 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine, co-developed with Geely and Volvo, and refined for smoother power delivery and reduced emissions.
Buyers can choose between two tunes:
- Standard Output: Produces 150 PS and 226 Nm torque
- Flagship Output (TGDi): Kicks up the power to 177 PS and 255 Nm torque
Both variants are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), offering lightning-quick shifts and excellent fuel efficiency. The drivetrain remains front-wheel-drive (FWD), ensuring a composed and confidence-inspiring experience for daily urban driving or spirited weekend getaways.
The engine refinements for 2025 include better throttle response, quieter idle, and smoother acceleration — a welcome upgrade for those who value comfort and control in equal measure.
A Head-Turning Aesthetic – Look and Feel
The 2025 Proton X50 evolves its iconic design with bolder styling cues and premium textures, giving the compact SUV a more global and upscale feel.
On the exterior, the front fascia now features a redesigned Infinite Weave grille, larger lower air intakes, and refined fog lamp housings. This update gives the X50 a more athletic, focused, and mature face — inspired by the aesthetics of global crossovers.
Step inside, and you’re greeted with a cabin that’s more polished than ever. Highlights include:
- New dual-tone leather upholstery options
- A redesigned centre console with wireless charging pad
- Ambient interior lighting
- Premium soft-touch materials on dash and doors
- Expanded rear seat legroom and flatter floor for better rear passenger comfort
The cabin not only feels roomier, but it also feels quieter thanks to improved insulation. Proton has clearly paid attention to both luxury and practicality this year.
All-New in All the Right Places – Latest Upgrade Highlights
If you’ve driven an older X50 before, you’ll notice the improvements almost immediately in the 2025 model. The upgrades for this new edition include:
- Revised suspension tuning for a smoother ride over Malaysian and Singaporean roads
- Quieter cabin thanks to better NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) reduction
- Auto park assist now standard in more variants
- Enhanced Proton Intelligent Drive Assist (PIDA) suite
- New colour options, including Electric Blue and Cosmic Bronze
- Wireless smartphone integration added to more trim levels
Proton has taken real feedback from its customers and refined the X50 in a way that addresses previous concerns while pushing forward into a more premium space.
Drive More, Worry Less – Fuel Efficiency and Mileage
Despite its turbocharged performance, the 2025 Proton X50 manages to stay fuel-efficient — a key selling point for urban and intercity drivers in both Malaysia and Singapore.
On average, you can expect:
- Around 6.4 litres per 100km for the standard engine
- Around 6.9 litres per 100km for the TGDi flagship model
These figures reflect real-world driving in mixed traffic. The 7-speed DCT helps maintain efficient RPMs at highway speeds, and the Eco mode optimises throttle response and A/C usage to improve fuel economy further.
Where Can You Get It? – Availability in Malaysia, Singapore & Beyond
