2025 Proton X50: Differences between the Executive, Premium, and Flagship variants

Proton has officially opened bookings for the facelifted model of its B-segment SUV, the 2025 X50.

The first 10,000 customers will receive an exclusive offer that includes a cash rebate of RM1,000, a limited edition Touch ‘n Go card, as well as a “Gempak” offer to be announced during its official launch.

At this time, Proton has yet to disclose the sales price of the X50 2025, but it is reported that there are three main variants: Executive, Premium, and Flagship.

As standard, all three variants are powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that generates 181 PS at 5,500 rpm and 290 Nm of torque at 2,000-3,500 rpm.

This power is transmitted to the front wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT).
