Much of the buzz in the automotive scene in 2020 was surrounding the Proton X50. The hype for Proton’s latest B-segment SUV is off the charts. So much so that Proton is having trouble to deliver new cars to their customers.

We have detailed in full on all the pros and cons of the Proton X50 in a written review. But here is a quick recap if you are short on time.

The X50 competes in an increasingly popular segment because buyers love the tall-ish driving position but without the bulkiness of a C-segment SUV like the Proton X70 or Honda CR-V.

It comes with an array of class-leading features such as Level 2 ADAS semi-autonomous driving, panoramic sunroof, 1.5-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine, 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, Intelligent Voice Command and Auto Parking.

Most importantly, the X50 price makes for a very attractive proposition:

However, there are some flaws to the X50 as demonstrated in the video. Most notably are the lack of thigh support for the front seats, A-pillar wind noise and the poor interior practicality compared to its rivals.
