2023 Proton X90 first impressions - How does the hybrid Proton drive?

Set to launch soon this year, the Proton X90 is possibly the most anticipated car right now. It is Proton’s first hybrid car which coincides perfectly with Proton’s 40th anniversary this year. Lucky for us, we’ve been given a chance to drive the car. Here’s what we think about it.

Came for the car but left more impressed with the presenter lol. The new guy is excellent. Smooth review delivery, professional manner and very fluent speaker. Kudos 👍🏼

[@waynedarren]

Monotone

[@victorcml]

Very professional sounding

[@IsaacRizard]

Boss James punya review lagi best...

[@melvinlourdes88]

Agree and he wasn’t being another Jeremy Clarkson wannabe.

[@mkusno]

this guy presentation quality is almost like sir david attenborough!

[@kantokun12]

Comes for the car, stay because of the presenter. Crispy review! Kudos to him and the team!

[@vergil5047]

Dear AutoBuzz, please keep this guy, I love this review.

[@zacwong]

Kudos to the team, very professional review

[@hisyamsamsuddin2466]

arif is a very good presenter. you should have your own yt channel sir. still feeling huge skeptical on the fuel consumption on paper of the 3 pot engine + ems.. with that weight

[@krk24]

new reviewer? kudos! felt like international review just with the host.

[@joelong2153]

Well spoken and good command of English. At least not monotonic.

[@mhaz1862]

Arif is my new favorite car reviewer. 😂

[@ptrrchong]

The cinnamon brown is actually the best looking among other colors.

[@Afeeq1011]

I love the colour lineup but I do wish more car manufacturer brings back fun colours i.e yellow, green, or something. E.g like the new Ayla in Indonesia

[@ilhamzulkepli]

Black would be more beautiful

[@imranhaziiq]

@@ilhamzulkepli black proton is only for military

[@jiefuleong]

Agreed.👍

[@seatravellers]

I agreed with u on this. Infact that navy blue in actual look, rendered great too. Not like the one shown previously on some photos..

[@mohamadharrisnasir2199]

I really like the way the reviewer present the spec of the car, calm and simple

[@smookiekidz583]

I would simply say this presenter is better then my lecturer in giving information I never focus as much as I did while watching this review lol.. kudos

[@ildico]

Impressive! The car, the presenter, the review. Just the rear end a bit off.

[@ranjanbiswas3233]

Thank you Proton Malaysia for letting my country Bangladesh assembling your cars and giving our auto industry the necessary push it needed. I'd never know this brand existed if this cars were not assembled here.

[@imanbus]

Racist?

[@I_Am_Talos]

oh man the x90 is quite a looker. especially the dark blue one!

[@denielanthony96]

Good review..I saw a lot of reviewers only review the premium specs, hope to review the standard & executive variants too.

[@spdfazar]

❤❤❤ the presenter 🎉🎉🎉

[@firdaus9752]

Good review by Mr Arif Chan again. Keep it up bro 👏🏻

[@smhobiez]

The only 7 seater mpv with Turbo hybrid ice & 7 sp dct in Malaysian market..

[@jasonkok9942]

its an SUV, there is other choice such as the Mazda CX-8 2.5t AWD that has 228bhp @ 420nm torQue…

[@smhobiez]

@@jasonkok9942 the cx8 2.5t awd of course better. In malaysian market price comparison is much logical than segmen or specification. Lets see when the x90 price announced.

[@Serenity___.]

This is 7seater SUV with mild hybrid its not the same hybrid like in other hybrid variant car. 1.5tgdi 3 cylinder engine with mild hybrid. I hope the price is reasonable and better nvh cabin sound then the x70 since some reviewer say the cabin noise and engine for x90 is more loud then x70. Just wait release can test drive later and another car to wait this year is the s50 from proton.

[@luga1244]

Hopefully they sell the black color version. X70 black seem really different vibes than the rest.

[@aminuddinsoopar]

That would be for Government fleet units only. I saw some black X70 with military plates. Really stands out with its black color

[@luga1244]

@@aminuddinsoopar there are unit for sell also. Just few unit.

[@beeshephert-st8zq]

Queit impressive but a large SUV without option awd or 4wd variant.

[@trdoff]

We must Thanks Geely for bringing new development for Proton, or else the same exora we will see.

[@makwk]

Too bad proton is still not adopting android auto / apple car play. Yes good review. Clear, informative and no silly jokes.

[@shahfuanshahrani7482]

Presenter are well informed and knows how to deliver those information. Good delivery, easy to understand and most importantly, smooth. Reminds me so much of Jethro Bovingdon. Way to go.

[@travischang5565]

Solid review and nice front. But felt asking a three Potter to pull a 7 seater mid size SUV is abit of a stretch.

[@jumblum]

Bring us the s50

[@ahmadfaris4418]

Actually im excited with that

[@obidean3964]

It's coming by the end of this year

[@vcys2]

Emm.. very well explained and described the car..and very professional fluent english. keep it up bro 💪

[@flushback]

yes this clapping guy again, really look forward for his video :D

[@PutraFitness]

Superb review by the man, Arif. Clear and easy to understand. keep it up!

[@zacharylee6405]

im surprised they didn't put a mini bar in the x90 or any 2nd row Screen.

[@bobbyling1846]

Very disappointed that Proton do not market the 7 Seater with panoramic sunroof like other markets.

[@mohamedmohideen5951]

Very very professional review, I like how this guy briefing things out

[@lendlkeen8132]

Mantap Arif and nice car

[@silverfever961]

perfect for official government department cars since proton Perdana already discontinued

[@mrnobody1377]

Good presentation by Arif. Thumbs up

[@adventhope4796]

Thank you for your very good review. Very professional. This model does look very desirable.

[@IsaacRizard]

The car model or the male model? 😂😂😂

[@adventhope4796]

@@IsaacRizard Of course the car la 🤣

[@illyashafiq8720]

Great Review Man! Carwow worthy😎

[@jaya6204]

There's nothing to be proud of ...it's pure china excellence....would be even proud of proton if they did the x70 ..50 and 90 all by themselves from the scratch instead of rebadging

[@salam4800]

2nd time watching this video Good review👍

[@AJVLlaxus90]

i x expect proton to be fuel efficient car..smooth driving & good power delivery 👍👍👍👍👍..btw im X50 user..

[@salopaindahouz]

Kudos to presenter, such a pro brief review

[@bukitbuku6648]

Proton got no spare parts. Even Mercedes also no spare parts

[@relaxation_therapy]

Its a good replacement for the Exora

[@jalanbakti]

Multilink rear suspension sistem. Sedap la layan corner.

[@luga1244]

The best earliest review in Malaysia.

[@bobochan4699]

Kudos to Proton / Geely for really analysing the road conditions in Malaysia. Not like some big players I know. The Japanese engineers really explored all roads in Malaysia ( moon-like potholes) n decided to omit the spare tyres n rear folding seats. N Most Malaysians r hobbit types, they also decide to make the rear headroom less spacious.

[@KelyhooOh-rw4vl]

Tested it today, overall I like it except for the seats which I m surprise that it is too small, I m not exactly fat, 80+ kg only. Surprise to view so many review and non have mention the seat. The center console is too wide making the space cramp.

[@ariffhamid]

I like how he explains it very well n clear. The English accent tho...can we see ur face as you explain in the next video? Haha

[@razakhjkassim5199]

a very commercialy international reviewsl and calm voice, full of infos..kudos

[@scubartistqnolsy]

i think us better than the toyota zenix.. wish they could bring this to the philippines with a true hybrid.. not just a mild one..

[@belangsemput]

Terbaik perbualan dalam english. Mantap. Takde slang.

[@michelle_0891]

that's one big registration plate🤣

[@hasinrafe8000]

I would like to see side by side fuel economy for X70 and x90 hybrid powertain does it make a difference

[@hswong215]

I think the presenter is doing great.. But the music at the background is just annoying

[@hatibudak3511]

5 light click for the bonet open is way too long for mat rempit to grab your valuables.

[@HanzLew]

The script is already installed in the Presenter's mind, good 👍🏼

[@davewitcher4981]

Listening to Arif, I wanna get the car now though I don’t need a huge car….

[@rio.carcossa]

He might be in Carwow soon 💫👍 Kudos

[@mtsfbsautoforextrading]

Hi, Premium don't have sunroof?

[@looksharp6135]

whos this handsome host? :)

[@naruto1817]

No Apple CarPlay? This is a deal breaker man

[@msfh1990]

Amazing 💥🔥💯🙌

[@philipleongchoongyew]

The presenter is overshadowed the car. Voice is clear and well presented

[@Dr_Doe]

11:18 Dude, still waiting for the full review.

[@samuellooi2634]

Better than Mercedes GLS, GLE and GLC

[@jasonkok9942]

better than GLS, GLE and GLC? u must be kidding… or perhaps, the price factor… huhuhu

[@thameemansari1204]

Excellent review, very professional.

[@aimanfitri0iv]

it looks good but it's has been released or just a pre-view i love the look oh my god especially brown and blue it looks pretty damn

[@rahimrazali409]

Harga X90 mgkn antara 112k - 135k. Sepatutnya tak lebih drp X70 berdasarkan perbandingan harga Geely Boyue & Haoyue. Kemasan dalaman X70 juga lebih mewah. Tambahan pula cukai kereta yg ada 3rd row kerusi lebih murah drpd kereta yg ada hanya 2 row.

[@zadsazhad]

Welp the full spec is 150k

[@siewkee6093]

This might be the suprise winner in the D segment SUV ....

[@amirl3703]

Walkaway autolock is available in Renault Triber

Maybe S50 will get PHEV and paddle shifters

[@lowuihiung2218]

good ndetail

not a fan of the design... looks like inova

Much better looking than innova IMHO

Because it is the same freakin car,,,

[@lowuihiung2218]

same model

[@bluesky842]

Bruh...

[@溢溢-f2i]

Can wait to see how the upcoming new Innova compare to this X90 as both them have the similar suv styling.

[@gion1988]

is boring car again by proton

[@lowuihiung2218]

better thenyours

[@kevindevindran6416]

No it's not boring car. The design is very impressive and offers better features than any Japanese brands in the market. It will the Honda CR-V and Toyota Cross a run for its money at any given time 😊

[@agazami2363]

What a boring review

[@adamafifrowigmailcom]

the Proton Exora is crying at the back there😭😂

[@faisalz8849]

Thinking of swapping my exora for this

[@alvinsonlampunanakphilip5613]

I think exora will still on sale for those who want seven seater with low budget
