As an owner of the executive variant, I would say that I'm delighted to have selected this variant as per what you've said, I've saved RM20k of my hard-earned money and gets a value for money suv/crossover..driving in a black themed dashboard is way more luxury looking compared to the red colored ones..As a casual driver, this variant is definitely the best to be chosen considering my hard-earned money can be spent elsewhere..All in all, this is the best suv I can have with my tight budget!

Adrian, yes you were spot-on, this Executive variant definitely worth serious consideration! The black dashboard & seats are a winner. To me, I miss the 360 camera and maybe the roof rails!

I like your clear statement. Great. And mostly the sensibility in making choices. Keep up ur good work. Looking forward to more content like this. User friendly.👍

I'm having both, executive and flagship. Exec feels more comfort since its having high profile tires. Power is just enough even on hiway 150 feels like 110km/h. Sport mode will transform the drive totally.. Great car with this price. And Flagship, tgdi engine is more smoother and of corse more grunt. Its really like driving a conti hothatch with its agile and precise handling. Love the car 💖

Nice to see a new Proton model. It's been a long time since the brand was in the UK but good to find out what they are up to

Thanks for the review! really needed this.

Great review Adrian. A very nice car in Executive trim. Very stylish. A similar equipment level to my Hyundai Tucson but the Proton looks more sporty. :-)

Great job, Adrian.

One thing the exec variant is missing is the accessibility to Proton Link which actually very helpful for the user. Other than that, i'm happy with my exec

Thanks Adrian for the review, I have booked X50 Executive and couldn't find reasonable reviews

I do have a small gripe with the X50 i see on the road especially at night. The turn signals, especially the ones on the taillights. The brake lights are bright which is a good thing but if you have either one of the turn signals on, the brake lights can overpowered the amber light.

Hope wapcar can make video for most fuel efficiency car for 2021!

Agreed, my friend and gf's brother both got this variant.

me personally prefer the executive interior it just feel more mature. the red on black interior to me feels just to busy and makes the cabin feels less airy.

Finally a review for Executive variant. Booked mine last year's November and still patiently waiting for it. Hopefully I will get mine soon !

Great reviews & informations.. TQ

Hey Adrian, nice review. You didnt test 0-100 on this variant? Im really curious.

Hey Adrian have you tested the latest Nissan 2022 Qashqai? So many amazing features and latest innovations. Like to know what you think of it.

Thank you Adrian for the great info.. Actually I'm looking forward to get one.. Now I know which variant is worth for the money.

The executive is definitely the value buy. However, if your budget permits, for me the ADAS, 360 camera is really worth the price pump...

It just took few second to reach 100km/h from start. What I like most about this car, Its very smooth drive even the speed already above 160km/h.

Waiting the right time to book this car. Executive will be my choice.

Proton should make sunroof an optional package and not make it a compulsory accessory together with other ADAS, TGDI engine. Back in the day, I had an Elantra MD with sunroof leaking just a few months after collected the car from show room. Sent it back to SC, SA told me it was due to clogged drain, problems settled then after driving it for less than 3 months it leaked again, second time was due to hardened rubber. It is too much of a hassle to drive a car with sunroof, which is why i gave up ADAS and TGDI engine and go for X50 Premium.

Nice video👍

Planning to get X50 flagship, but after listening and reading your comments, life experience feedback i am convinced firm the same just get this X50 Executive better

Nice review Adrian, I also hav always think this variant is the sweet spot for X50. It's either this or go all the way to the top spec Flagship, the other 2 variants tbh are pointless. My 2 cents ...

Hi could you show us the reverse cam for executive version as I do have a big concern as my previous car does have 360 cam but if the reverse cam is good enough maybe I can just live with it. Thanks!

Premium owner here. Before this I booked x50 executive but unfortunately during my booking need to change to premium due too long waiting time for this variant. Now I am using premium x50. Some features that I appreciate or cannot live without are 360 camera, electronic seat, and tire pressure monitoring. I supposed if you came from previous car that didn't have these techno, like me too, then I think u will like this exec

How About When Using USB can play continuously when starting or need press any button for playing USB music from start ?

The all black leather seats and interior look better and classier than the Premium and Flagship models. However, Proton should include the power windows to all windows, power seat to the drivers seat and add 18" tyres. The rest are not important but all the above are important to me.

Have anyone try Eco mode and what's the fuel consumptionon x50. Does it cost much lower or no difference?

I'm very impressed this car even with the entry-level and executive variant but sadly i couldn't found this many of them on the road only I'm saw in dealerships my favourite x50 is all of them because i don't want talk to too much because this car is very good no matter how in trim levels

Yeah.. and for long term maintenance and power output consistency, MPI might better. Maybe Geely engine is quite different, but most DI engine suffer carbon built up on the intakes valve due to 'dry air'. Owner need the perform cleaning by using walnut blasting method. I had experienced with Peugeot 1.6THP before. As for MPI the detergent inside the fuel can help cleaning the intake valves, thus no issue on long run (80000 km above).

Why not top up a bit and get the x70 standard, the NVH is one level above the x50. In terms of acceleration, both are quite similar though x70 could be more fuel consuming.

How come M'sia don't bring in 1.0l Manual 6????

Drives quite nicely. But after weeks of using, I still can't find a way around the car forcing the JOOX app on me every time I start it up. I just want to see the home screen or map, but no matter how many times I close it out, up pops JOOX again when I come back and start the car. If that's unavoidable, they must have paid Proton a lot for that.

I own the executive variant, I was wondering if someone is having problems starting the car after been in the garage for more that 2 days, it won't start. The solution it's always start with the remote. Anyone?!

Actually for my plan to make booking is Executive. After that only aware without blindspot… so decided to cancel end up choosing Ativa AV. Coz myself driving on city, average speed 100km speed. So in more on i need is blindspot… so yeah. If executive have at least blindspot and today I’m driving is x50…

Shocked that the engine of Proton X50 is so inefficient. The exhaust of my 2 month old Executive smells like that from a 6 year old MyVi. No wonder the fuel consumption is so high: 11 liter per 100 km, much higher than that of Mercedes A250!

If you come from Toyota or Honda, yes executive is value buy for you. But if you come from conti cars, premium is more value buy cos we know & appreciate the well worth upgrades.

Could any proton x50 executive owner care to comment about the sound system? I cannot find any details review about it.

This executive model is the more balanced model of the X50 range. Sometimes less is more!

Hi, I must have viewed more than half a dozen reviews on X50 of different variants that cover pretty much every feature there is of X50. But none of them talk about the front-seat headsets which dip forward at a sharp angle and cannot be adjusted to allow our head and neck to rest comfortably when we lean back on the seat.

@iaam8141

3 ай бұрын

Headsets or headrests are in fact HEAD-RESTRAINTS. They are NOT meant for resting one's head (i.e. for comfort which may result in one dozing off while driving for being too comfortable). They are designed to RESTRAIN one's head to prevent neck from suffering a whiplash when accidents happen. All car manufacturers and reviewers should refer to this seat feature as such to convey its true purpose and accurate function.

I will wait for a facelift to have all the issues corrected, and choose only the mid spec. I personally dont think we need all those fanciful accessories on our daily driving, save some bucks and use it for meaningful investments.

my friend show off his executive a few months ago. brand new that time. nice but engine was very noisy like an old car.

What about fuel consumption

I booked this one but tired of waiting then the sa told me that there’s premium available so i just grab the the premium one. But tbh i really prefer black dashboard

I went on a test drive with both of the cars and found that the city is more ergonomic overall. For the X50, I couldn’t really get a comfortable driving position and the seat wasn’t supportive enough. X50 might be more impressive on paper with its bells and whistles but the city has more attention to the details. A simple test drive will help with the decision

Different engine in flagship variant😂

I had this as a rental when i was in Malaysia for 6 months so i have a prety good feeling with this car. Ok, cut to the case. Its BY FAR the worst car i have ever driven lol. The handling is an absolute joke. The interior is reasonably good, but the chairs are a joke. The ergonomic factor is alright. Its very noisy and the 1.5turbo is not smooth and picks up from 2700rpm. Below that, its just dead. The gearbox is like a 1980 DAF. 150HP, sure, it feels like 100HP. Shocks and is slow. Im sorry, but everybody who calls this car good or comfortable has never even driven a close to good car. Brands like Volkswagen, Toyota, Kia, Seat, Skoda are MILES ahead of this car. The gap is HUGE. Not even start about the brands like BMW or Mercedes-Benz. Even a 20 year old E class is 10x better then this car.

Agree with Adrian, after 6 months of ownership of the X50 Exec, my feedback is that it exceeded my expectations. Please note I drove a B7 Audi A4 before this and the X50 do have that continental feel The funny thing was that the X50 was not on my shortlisted cars until I test driven it. For the money (rm84k), I would say it's impressive The only issue with the X50 Executive is the wait time and the famous hissing sound from the window for all X50. I had to wait for a year for mine
