The PROTON X90 large sized SUV is now open for Booking

The All-New Proton X90 is touted as PROTON’s first New Energy Vehicle and the third SUV in Proton's X-series model line-up. It is also their first large sized SUV that has 6 or 7 seats and bookings for it had opened on 8 April 2023 at all PROTON 3S/4S outlets. There are also exclusive city preview sessions before the official launch serve which is stated down below so that potential customers can view the actual car beforehand. Update -Launch article is here folkshttps://motoring-malaysia.blogspot.com/2023/05/proton-launches-x90-suv-at-their-40th.html


Not much could be said about it except that is is sized like a Hyundai Santa Fe or a Kia Sorento. The closest examples in terms of size of something that has been sold here. It is about time that we are seeing an all new model from PROTON since things had gotten back to normal post pandemic. While sales of new Proton cars have been on the uptake, there has been nothing really new since the launch of the X50 awhile ago. 

That said, PROTON has found a niche in making premium feeling SUVs of late and I think this is the path which they should keep on taking (even though I am not a SUV person at heart as what's best for the business isn't what's best for me). 

So details of the new X90 SUV is stated down below and also places where you can view the SUV over the coming weeks until it is launched.
