You may know that there is an updated Proton X50 to be launched very soon. In typical Proton practice, the release of information is phased and today, we can provide an overview of the new model. While Proton has provided many pictures (and not partial teaser ones either) of the new model, they are still limiting the full details at this time. So it’s best that we reproduce the official release here to ensure that only information they want released is published.
Proton has revealed the All-New Proton X50 as the company prepares for its first major model launch of 2025. With over 134,000 units sold since its debut in October 2020, the B-segment SUV has been the No.1 model in its class for 5 consecutive years, and receives a comprehensive update featuring all-new styling both inside and out, upgraded ADAS Level 2 features, an improved IHU (Infotainment Head Unit) system with a large 14.6-inch screen and, for the first time ever, Bahasa Melayu voice recognition.
Available in 3 variants – Executive, Premium, and Flagship – Proton will run a series of activation events in the weeks leading up to the grand launch of the All-New Proton X50 to familiarise the public with its new features as well as accept early bookings from potential buyers.
All-New Stylish Design
The All-New Proton X50 introduces a refreshed exterior featuring a new front grille and bumper, a sportier rear spoiler, quad exhaust tailpipes, dual-tone colour scheme, and a newly designed set of textured alloy wheels. The vehicle’s interior has also been significantly upgraded to deliver a more premium, driver-centric experience, including soft-touch materials, a floating floor console, luxury car inspired column shifters and 72-colour rhythmic ambient light.
Customers can choose from four existing colours, Snow White, Passion Red, Jet Grey, Armour Silver, and a striking new addition, Teal Bayou Green.

Cabin intelligence is at the heart of the All-New X50 appeal. At its centre is a 14.6-inch infotainment display that supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, now enhanced with voice recognition in Bahasa Melayu affirming Proton’s commitment to a more localised, user-friendly interface. The latest Proton Link 2.0 app further enhances convenience, offering remote engine and air-conditioning activation, real-time vehicle status updates, and service appointment scheduling – all accessible via mobile device.
