All-new Proton X50: Early bird customers to receive RM1,000 cash rebate and more

The all-new Proton X50 is now officially available for bookings through Proton dealers across the country. In conjunction with the occasion, the national automaker has also announced a set of perks for those who decide to book the newly refreshed SUV.

Dubbed the Ready To Roar package, this early bird deal is open to the first 10,000 customers who book the new 2026 Proton X50 from today until the official launch event. The perks include a RM1,000 cash rebate, a special edition Touch ‘n Go card, and something called “Gempak! Deal” which will only be revealed during the SUV’s launch event.

On a related note, Proton has also announced that the all-new X50 will be embarking on a nationwide tour to allow members of the public to take a closer look at the newly refreshed SUV. Aside from the opportunity to experience the car ahead of its official launch, the public can also walk away with prizes through on-ground activities at each of the tour stops.

Despite today’s revelation, the pricing for the 2026 Proton X50 is still a secret and will most likely be revealed at the official launch event that will take place very soon.

The 2026 Proton X50 features a redesigned front and back as well as wheels that were based on the Geely Binyue L. However, the carbon fibre-like sporty spoiler for the Flagship variant was taken from the Binyu Cool instead.

Inside, the all-new X50 features a completely different interior than the two Geely Binyue models and we were told the interior was designed in-house by Proton itself. Even though the automaker has opted to retain the same steering wheel, the dashboard and centre console design seemed to be inspired by Proton e.MAS 7.

Just like the EV, the 2026 X50 has a fully digital instrument cluster and a new infotainment display, although they are slightly smaller than those that were equipped in e.MAS 7 at 8.88-inch and 14.6-inch, respectively. Not only that, the newly refreshed X50 also has a drive column shifter similar to e.MAS 7.

Meanwhile, the all-new X50 also has the reputation as the first Proton to feature Android Auto and Apple CarPlay right out of the box. In addition to that, the Hi Proton voice assistant system in the SUV now supports Bahasa Malaysia too.

The all-new X50 continues to feature Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), although it now also has Rear Side Radar System. This has enabled new features for the system, such as Rear Collision Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Door Opening Warning.

Aside from that, the Auto Park Assist has also been fully redesigned to make it easier and more intuitive to use. At the same time, the 360-degree camera system has also been upgraded to include a 180-degree undercarriage transparent view.

Proton has also equipped the SUV with a new i-GT 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, although the car still features a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Capable of producing 178hp (133kW) and 290Nm of torque, the automaker claimed the engine managed to deliver a 4.7% improvement in fuel efficiency as compared to its predecessors.
