The 2025 X50 facelift features new styling both inside and out, upgraded ADAS Level 2 technology, a new engine, an upgraded IHU system with a large 14.6-inch screen, and for the first time ever, Malay voice recognition.
Offered in three variants – Executive, Premium and Flagship, the 2025 X50 facelift is powered by a new i-GT 1.5 TD engine mated to a 7-speed DCT gearbox.
Delivering 133kW (181PS) and 290Nm of torque, it can accelerate from 0-100kph in just 7.6 seconds – 0.3 seconds faster than the previous model, with a 4.7% improvement in efficiency, and delivering more performance with better fuel economy.
Malaysian powerhouse girl group De Fam will debut the music video of their specially composed single, “All-New Proton X50” during the launch event on the evening of July 24.
