The recent Proton's 40th anniversary launched the all new Proton X90. This is the brand's first New Energy Vehicle (NEV) premier, combining a 1.5-liter TGDi engine with a 48V electric motor synergy system. This hybrid configuration ensures higher fuel efficiency, lower emissions, improved performance, and a smoother driving experience. Compared to rivals like Hyundai Santa FE, Mazda CX-8, and Kia Sorento (priced between RM177,674 and RM255,228), the Proton X90 stands out as the most affordable choice.

As the third model in Proton's successful X series, the X90 demonstrates the brand's commitment to bringing new technologies to the Malaysian automotive sector. Manufactured alongside the Proton X50 and Proton X70 at PROTON Tanjung Malim, this spacious SUV offers versatility in both 7-seat and 6-seat configurations, with individual seats for the second row. The Proton X90 boasts a strong and premium design identity, highlighted by an updated Ethereal bow that flows between the headlights, leaving a lasting impression.

Under the hood, the award-winning 1.5-liter TGDi engine, in conjunction with the 48V electric motor synergy system, delivers excellent fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and enhanced performance. The Proton X90 features a distinct grille design inspired by the traditional “songket design”, LED headlights with sequential lighting, and a sophisticated overall appearance. Developed on the Advanced Versatile platform, this model required 96,000 man hours and incorporates 500 components from regional suppliers, contributing to 45% local content.

Inside the cabin, the Proton X90 prioritizes connectivity with a standalone 12.3-inch infotainment screen and a fully digital 10-inch instrument display for the driver. The infotainment system is equipped with an EO2 CPU, 6 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal memory, and a high-resolution 1920 x 720 pixel display. Safety features include an electronic parking brake with an auto hold function, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Auto Park assist, a 360-degree camera with 3D imaging, and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
