Proton X50 1.5 TGDI Flagship full in-depth review - AutoBuzz.my

[@syahirjuanda3007]

GC Mah arguably the best English reviewer in Malaysia. Love his local languages interjection.

[@alankkwong1]

Speaks good English and pronounces very well. Great intonation as well... Well done GC. And the team at Autobuzz. Even the video editing is very professionally done...

[@romeohotelromeomike]

Hype should sound Hee - ep or Hai-epp . Hyundai Hee yundai or Hai yundai ?

[@eujinpan]

@@alankkwong1 thanks for the motivation and inspiration to the team!

[@HugoQadri]

absolutely 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Brillions-International]

[@alvinchan5934]

Hands down, the best automotive reviewer in our Malaysia. Words are clear, information are sufficient and still informative. Thank you for your review

[@ilaoilao3321]

there's also some appropriate and nice placed jokes !

[@thiamchoywong465]

Proton as reborn car maker they have improve tremendously. Now only if their service centers can do the same and shed the tidak apa attitude of old.

[@normanschlongdongovic4124]

Because big shareholder kick out those lazyboners good for nothing management.

[@xpartacus]

Very impressive car, changed my perception of the brand. Geely totally revolutionise Proton, injecting Volvo technology. And this is probably the best Malaysian car reviewer I've come across!

[@coridor45]

Personally i think the price and design plays a huge role here. Hence the success.

[@nickwong2525]

And tax advantage over other brands..

[@brandonwoo8299]

Really? Its a handsome car...i think if same price with HRV..it would also out sell Honda.

[@calvinchin8795]

Plus, at the same price tag. This car feels so much more premium than it's competitor in the same segment

[@isabellefahd3973]

Thankfully it’s GC Mah presenting this epic vehicle every Malaysian has been waiting for! His explanation is very direct & easy to understand and his Malay interjection is most welcome. Good job mate 👍🏻 P/S: when you say drive fast, how fast is fast? And does this mean that the car isn’t ideal for long distance driving? Hope can get clarification 😁

[@irwintan2347]

"In the middle, Thundercat logo" HAHA! Damn, I'm old

[@spicyzwharis9170]

Been okay with Proton rebadging since early days, just in matter of price and material quality. Important factor for me as a buyer personally.

[@brobrown4474]

This is a great video, the best video review for x50 i think. Yes a very well priced. Hope it will be reliable until loan finish haha

[@HereWeGoAgain687]

One of the most entertaining reviewer I've seen in a while. Very handsome too! Good job Autobuzz!!!

[@eugeneyeoh9758]

GC even if the X50 was priced the same as all the same segment SUVs, I still think the X50 is the clear winner regardless of badge, pricing, nationalism or brand association

[@kazaff88]

Love AutoBuzz review. Just and knowledgeable reviews on the cars. Unlike some other reviewers that criticise to show their shallowness. Keep up the good work team AutoBuzz

[@gaminggajen4326]

For me I think Proton has come so far and this x series actually can compete the other brand like Toyota even Honda

[@JustRandomThings]

Love from Pakistan. Rwally impressive stuff from our Malaysian brothers. Waiting for this x50 here. Subscribed!!!

[@Bo-ox8ji]

Is the car available there now?

[@masaji07]

Thanks for the review gc, i was waiting for ur review since x50, officially launch, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Wa nak order satu jugak bro hehehe 🤭😎

[@adrianlim116]

For me personally I prefer X70. For 100k its better to go for the executive variant X70 instead of the flagship variant X50.

[@jdfd4906]

X70’s front is ugly and X50’s rear is ugly. How ah? Cars in front of u can see your front so X50 for me.

[@karishmen1145]

GC and EU JIN, do a little drag between this and the big brother x70!! 😅

[@MrKel83]

Reasonable price, v all those power and torque, features, looks n driving experience, it's really worth the money

[@F-Khan491]

since Proton is planning to launch his car in Pakistan also, i watched your review and bro you do awesome reviews informative and entertaining...10/10 from my side !

[@ljanhong]

Actually the old days proton rebadged from mitsubishi were quite well accepted (wira, perdana, saga), but when it comes to the inspira i think mainly because the lancer is selling along side in Malaysia at the same time, so many people will see it as copy cat product. Until today they are still tons of people do not know about rebadge exercise in automotive industry. Since the Geely Boyue and Binyue are not avaialble in Malaysia, most malaysian do not know these car are rebadge from Geely. Sure, all the tech savvy guy and car enthusiast on the internet knows about this, but the "General" people outside has no clue or no interest in knowing these at all. They see nice car, they like. They see same car with different logo, copy cat product. Sad but true.

[@fadlanazmi382]

Nissan, renault, and mitsubishi. Always rebadge they car too. This called cooperation . Renault have share in nissan. And mitsubishi have share in nissan . Even toyota and daihatsu have similar cooperation . Is normal in car industry

[@wayne02058]

first time im watching your review, very commendable description of the car with some tasteful jokes placed through out, ill be looking forward to seeing more of your reviews in the future.

[@jaya6204]

I specifically love the last two minutes nice talk ...GC

[@time1187]

2:29 yeah it is absolutely a ThunderCat (TC) logo! Hear that Proton! You've got a new nickname - ThunderCat

[@robochitti]

both the video and GC Mah are so good to watch... i watched full. great work and wonderful car

[@ST-wi9eq]

the Geely Proton badge swap works this time because these are new models, not old end of life models like the Inspira/Lancer, Accord/Perdana, etc. and because Geely itself is not selling directly in the market vis-a-vis Mitsubishi and Honda.

[@AndrewKNI]

Super review and super X50. If only Proton would re-introduce their models in the UK. SUVs sell well here.

[@honguenloh4612]

The best presenter available in the whole of Malaysia..and it’s due to price, design as well as the strong association with Geely & Volvo….:)

[@azlanahmadrashidi6227]

Very indept review. Enjoyed it. Hope proton can solve long waiting period after booking. heard some ppl waiting 4-6 months for their car

[@OTCRSA]

Nice video, love your enthusiasm.

[@alantan3779]

Good Review, excellent video. Please do more GC your reviews are totally another level higher.

[@metallutca]

Agree with GC Mah on the conclusion. If you seek "substance" in your drive (especially at higher speeds), this is not the car for you. The one I tested had very disturbing wind noise at the A-pillar area past 120km/h. The body roll is also very significant in sharp corners, not confidence inspiring. Otherwise, driven at normal speeds, the car is very well packaged and value-for-money.

[@Jazhiero]

Now this is how you do car review!

Even whn I bought kelisa as new, engine vibration not noticeable. But after few years, 3 cylinder vibrates like hell..

[@brandonczw]

kelisa over 10 yrs old already, of course it will vibrate. the X50 has got all sort of new tech to overcome the vibration. but i would like to see how it’ll be like after a few years, even with all that tech at the end of the day it’s still a 3 cyl.

[@h2lo704]

This car looks tempting in Malaysia because of the taxes. NAP artificially inflate the prices of cars that made the X50 and X70 look like a bargain when in reality, Malaysians are still buying substandard cars at overpriced tag.

[@fuzaitux]

Exactly. Don't think it's right for him to say it's cheap while Malaysians have been paying way too much for cars all these while. In fact, why not match the price China is selling this since Proton is a domestic brand? 🤭

[@Jamesdevil]

@@fuzaitux Perhaps if we adopt left hand drive where the car can be wholly imported from China. Thing is you guys dont understand the basics of economies of scale, we dont have the market volume like China for Geely or Proton to be able to sell at their price and still make profits. When we have a billion population perhaps we can start barking louder, for now, lets just say we should consider ourselves lucky that we dont need to see the Juara, Tiara or Savvy nonsense that comes out of Tg Malim.

[@fuzaitux]

@@Jamesdevil it's not about economies of scale here. If Proton is allowed to sell Geely made cars at an inflated price, while charging exorbitant duties on other foreign brands, it's just bad for average consumers like us. I don't see the justification why X50 should still sell at higher price while Honda or Toyota sells almost the same price at the same segment class? So we're only left with either Perodua or Proton's lower segment cars. Btw, X50 is still manufactured as left handed car but switched to right handed in Malaysia under CKD.

[@saravananmurthy4258]

Your review the honest one that I found until now

[@whutever]

I think it's due to the combination of rebadged model execution plus the price tag. Previous rebadged cars of Proton tend to make the car feels somewhat a lower grade iteration of the original car due to the built quality and discounted features. And this is because of the Proton's strategy where they focused on them as being a cheaper option as their selling point. Current Proton cars, albeit rebadged ones, barely discounts any features from the original model, except for the price, and they make sure whatever the competitors are offering, they could offer for a lower price, sometimes better in terms of quality/execution. And this somewhat cancels out the perception of Proton being that cheap car for those with no budget, to a bang for buck car with features and quality you could previously only find in a car at least 50k more expensive.

I think the reason why everyone is happy about the current Proton Geely marriage is that Geely is treating Proton as an equal partner and is willing to share their latest technology and products with Proton. Unlike previous partners where Proton had to contend to be an unwanted child left with last gen toys.

The Proton brand name and price isvthe reason. If the car was a Geely and costed extra 30k, it wouldn’t sell as well. Ppl would go for other globally established and more popular brands. It would be the same if the Proton X50 costed extra 30k.

But I have to admit that at this price point it is way more affordable than other competitors. Rugi tak beli bro! GC dah bakar line tu. Tengok wallet mampu test drive je dulu haha

[@meazlan89]

Because of the built quality and the reasonable price range. X70 and X50 have definitely increase the competitivenes of our local brand, despite it is just being a rebadge model.

How's the DCT in town driving? slow traffic in town is typically where DCT stumbles. Wonder if this is the case for the X50.

[@zafranshamsudin9231]

I think the volvo name really helped when geely first bought m took helm at proton.. imagine geely, a chinese brand selling their cars rebadged as a proton here without the volvo association, I believe the sales wouldn't be that good. Even when x70 came, everyone was hyping 'volvo tech here, volvo tech there'.. even the SA used this to promote.
