2024 PROTON X50 launched today - More refinement, better inforainment performance and more for the same price

The newly upgraded Proton X50 has been launched but if you look at the photos here, you'd not notice it. This isn't a facelift folks, but more of a real upgrade underneath. It has more sound proofing, so better NVH (less noise, vibration and harshness), the larger infotainment screen is shared on all models, a more powerful CPU and more RAM for the infotainment system, better response on the dual clutch transmission and the two top models get the auto tailgate (previously only the highest Flagship variant). So while nothing has changed in terms of looks, and pricing as it actually comes in like previously, you get a better can and with the current early bird promotions, a lot of your money's worth for what is PROTON's best selling B segment SUV.
