Aiya Bobby you just bump the sales of proton x50, now may have to wait longer 🤣🤣 for mine...totally agree with u that they should have include paddle shifter for the highest spec of proton X50
I bet this sell well but i hope Proton listens to their customers when it comes to servicing..jgn buat kerja mlepas batuk di tangga lah Perodua pun sama,dh la keta underpar harap formula toyota je kebal tp servis hampeh pun xguna jgk
3 things I wish Proton would do in future: 1. Include dashboard cam 2. Improve 360 cam - the blur fish eye view is not pleasing 3. Include interior mbient light
Thanks Boby make your reviews as a car review... unlike the other youtuber..make a car review as a phone comparison between iphone and chinese phone..your language are truly car enthusiasm..love it bro
its definitely a market disruptor going by the immense value it delivers for the price point. Will be interesting to see the response from the other players next year.
@@yangerek78 Bruh, I am not sure what you are trying to get at because everyone has a different requirement on what is value to them. But in my humble opinion, the "value proposition" that Proton is bringing to the table with the x50 is undeniable better than any of the competitors within the segment.
I love to see how bobby review the car, its simple and easy to understand. This is my favourite car. Have a dream to own one this year. Hopefully all goes well.
Thanks for pointing all small yet important details. The angle/degree of side mirror is important. It defeats the purpose if 1/3 of the side mirror is full of your own car.
Just literally came back from x50 test drive. I have to say that the car drives so well. The ride and suspension is very decent. The engine is also punchy, very effortless to reach 100km/h. Gear change is also pretty smooth. I also like the driver seat too. Cons: - wind noise is pretty noticeable at 115km/h. I guess if i were to buy this car, i would. consider doijg some noise insulation. - instrument cluster looks a bit busy. Could be better. If I am looking for a car that drives well, with good engine and suspension, x50 is definitely on top of the list. AND If i were to buy an x50, i will go for thr standard variant haha Good job proton and geely
@@jaynjacksonfan hi. i think it is still acceptable, not to say that it is too annoying :) i think the reason i felt the wind noise is rather obvious is because i compared it with my hyundai ioniq which does not have those wind noise when i drive around 100-120km/h. Haha. After all, it is subjective from one person to another :) best way is to test drive hehe
I am quite confused of how people would say about the wind noise. Is it the whistling sound that you can hear after you achieve around 170km or the obvious tyre sound when the car moves?
The X50 indeed a great SUV in all same segment. No question ask. What l worries is Proton After Sale n Service is capable to excercute or deliver. I had heard many complain from X70 owners defect, damage claim and others are 'Sucks'.
I'm a Filipino and this is the best review i saw. Thank you. I'm sold with your review sir. Well done. Although our version here has no voice command, I'm still going to buy this car here in Philippines which is the Geely Coolray Sport.
Sir, i saw a review of Geely Binyue (coolray sport)in China by Adrian from Wapcar. It seems that their ride is quite harsh, meanwhile Proton has put their expertise in ride and handling to make X50 more comfort and supple to drive. I think you should take that into consideration as well.
I hope Proton can design and sell a full blown Persona with a proper sedan shape in the 60k - 80k range. Else I have to wait this to be a little older. Haha
Hello Bobby! If can, make the voice volume level as the intro because it sounds like jumpscare cause I had to use higher volume to hear you. Thank you for the review.
Nope. I don't buy cars with less than 300hp now ... But when I am older and less able to earn money I definitely will because I am in the advertising industry, once get old will be useless compared to youngsters so by then I will not be able to afford these high maintenance and high running cost cars .. by then definitely something like this will be my choice of cars
Bobby review is superb, very well detail explained & always giving a different perspective from others reviewer. How I wish Boby would have a good mic. The volume is so low.
Hi Bobby. Very detailed and informative video 👍🏻. I would like to know your opinion on buying an x50 flagship in 2023? Also, do you think there will be an x50 facelift anytime soon? Tq.
Side mirror is one of the regulations that all vehicle in Malaysia need to comply. I don't think it is wrong design; if not meeting regulations, they cannot sell the car.
Just imagine if Geely did not buy Proton. Proton's X70 or X50 like cars might be produced in the next 10-20 years time from now in Malaysia. At that time CARS might be evolved differently.
True , Malaysia Bolih will becomes Malaysia Tak Bolih if Proton still persist with Mahathirism old school of taught and influence in producing " Milo Tin " car body structure, lack of safety , using outdated Japanese engines , terrible uninspiring design, poor quality fit and finish except good air cond , leaking water inside car boot, terrible car seats causing back ache, rusty door panel, car roof emitting sounds due to epoxy usage ( not welding), shattered proof windscreen, low ground vehiclev clearance, high vehicle prices , rejected by buyers in overseas market like in UK , Australia, Brunei even Indonesia and so on in not bringing in good foreign exchange but always need TONGKAT from Malaysian TAX PAYERS to stay alive . Driving an old proton like SAGA, WIRA , PERDANA felt so scary in those days till we always had to be very careful to avoid SATU KALI LANGGAR ,SATU KALI MATI. 👆Note: Drivers are good but the Car being driven is dangerous to live with " Thanks to new management of Proton team, Proton had becomes a Malaysia affordable, high quality , latest technology , safer and more beautiful than ever car design that had re captured the Malaysian car buyer Hearts once again even export markets . Now we really call this. " Malaysia Bolih" and a milestone achievements .

@@wdtv3568 I do not totally agreed with your write up too. What do we need a national car when the Proton is so dangerous to drive previously. Everyone owns either in one way a SAGA or a Wira. Mind you the hollow plastic bumper( for decoration only ) secured by clips easily fall off even the slightest knock and the front indicator light easily came out while driving . Automatic gear box spoilt easily , water seeping into car boots , roof making noise due to usage of epoxy bonding rather than welding and the list goes on till most owners are fed up and stop buying proton but better quality Perodua . Yeah even Taxi drivers complain about the CAMPRO engine overheat and taxi got to rest at the nearest bus stop or taxi stand. Talking about proton using hot dipped high strength steel or whatever , PROTON still come out as Milo Tin during minor accident. Proton car got weak chassis or virtually no chassis . Please go and see how Toyota and Hyundai built their vehicles which is many TIMES much safer than any proton on the move .Off course Boron steel like those use in Volvo and Mercedes are way the strongest in the industry and way safer compare to whatever steel proton is using.and base upon. Furthermore, Proton is not a safety conscious company there is limitation and experience in the safety Cage design Even Japanese still cannot achieved the level of safety of that of Volvo and Mercedes so what is Proton by the way , rubbish at that time during mahathirism era . Yeah , Mahathir started proton to kick start Malaysia towards heavy industrialisation but Malaysia too failed .eg Perwaja, MEC. Worst still dawn raid of Guthrie in London stock exchange and Tin in UK metal exchange , mahathirism put Malaysia dollars suddenly change to weak Malaysian Ringgit . Proton proposal came to Mahathir from his Taiwanese friend . What mahathirism achievement for proton put every Malaysian having to pay three times the original price of a Japanese and continental cars forcing everyone to buy a proton with limited budget. Mahathir raised the car excise duty, import duty, sales tax by three folds. Car selling at RM,25K becomes RM 75k. Buying a new foreign car those days is like buying a house at half price after all Proton is not a fully Malaysian car with most parts imported from Japan, Taiwan ,India .even CKD car local content about 25% is almost on par with Proton. Government servant apply loan to buy Toyota , Honda or ford , Peugeot were not approved. Only those buying proton were quickly given loan approvals. Then Pityful many good drivers were killed unnecessarily while driving a Milo Tin Proton while balik kampung. Government blame it on the drivers fault most of the time but not on the Proton poor design, built quality and safety standard of proton cars . Lotus handling in a Proton I do not feel at all any fun couple with scary nightmare of the car safety ,"satu Kali langgar satu Kali terus mati" stigma. Mind you the whole episode of making proton car is totally rubbish, poor quality , using epoxy for roof sheet bonding to roof structure causing irritating sound emitting after few years of ownership . Proton car skid easily due to uneven Weight distribution , 65/35 or whatsoever. Campro engine in those taxi using Saga model easily overheat and got to stop at times to cool down. Sadly when Proton lost market share from 70% to just 26% , sometime need to be done . Geely came to the rescue ( by ellipsing two other bidders ) to put a stop to Proton heavy losses keep alive by government bail out years after years thru suffering Malaysian income tax payers and other direct and indirect taxes. Meaning to say this is a horrible mahathirism achievements to enrich his cronies thru Proton. What are the past models of proton ? Is there Any good coming from Juara, tiara, Savvy, Perdana, waja, Iriz, preve and Gen2 . Even Satria GTI Neo with small light body make it more unsafe and float at high speed with Milo tin cage structure. Just how wonderful to know about Satria GTI Neo . Under Geely, Geely means business Proton had completely revamped itself with proper safety cage design ( not Milo tin design and structure ) and proton sales pick up with market share constantly increasing. Ending Mahathirism era in Proton is ending his proton cronies is actually a good sign otherwise Proton will be totally bankruptcy and declining market share while other brands keep improving in local market share . Every Malaysian knows mahathirism is bad for Malaysia with monopoly protection that did not benefit every one or us at all. Now Proton is fast building safer and better continuous improve quality and desire products for Malaysian and export market like Pakistan and Turkey.
The sad part is it’s wasn’t a Malaysian product. It was produced by Geely China and relaunched it right after Geely bought over Proton. Theoretically, it was a China product. Proton was just a failure in the past 30 years
Hi Bobby , thanks for reviewing this car. I enjoyed your video as always. Anyway, was wondering if you felt the wind sound when driving above 90km/h? It feels like it’s coming from the side mirrors or the portion above it. What’s your comment on that? TQ once again
30:50 seems like Proton GKUI engineers need to calibrate more those voice commands using Manglish/singlish and Bahasa Melayu pasar to cater Malaysians users.
@@wfsiew the rebadged is the result of how proton messed up big time before geely takeover. So, proton would like to reform the new era with resemble of it's history of partnership with mitsubishi. As we all know proton used to rebadged it's old cars with mitsubishi model. So, in this case, Proton want to make some kind of symbolic of it's 'new life' with the help of geely group same event in connection of what past has show us
At the current price point & all the loaded technology + amazing build quality, i still wondering, why many Malaysian peoples still complain its still very expnsive.
Everything is relevant to price, what you get in any X50 variant is also relevant to its price. , so don't compare to an Audi or the likes ............one word only............ unbeatable !
Well said. You speak the kind of detail that answers my questions without me needing to go and test drive the car myself. 👍. He is knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time. 👏
My complaint with my x70 is cockpit. My left hand hits my left knee/thigh when I turn steering left enuff. That centre handlebar is taking up space for my left thigh. Can it b removed?...
My left knee hit the center piece where the gear knob is sitting on. so it put me in a not so comfortable sitting position while driving the x50. if sitting at the front passenger seat is even worse since there is that center handlebar. X70 is much better in this sense, no complain there. The X50 wet dual clutch is a good one, smooth and fast. But i can feel the vibration from the engine when trying to accelerate from low speed in sport mode (don't floor but tap on the throttle). Right and handling are pretty ok. Brakes are ok. responsive and able to stop the car fast in the midst of acceleration. Becareful with the coated door silver door handle. Someone scratched the one in the test drive unit and can see the black color underneath.
Nitric ; The dct likes a decisive input. How shall I say; it don’t like a slow speed, foot resting on throttle, draggy kinda throttle input. Anyway, it’s just my minor complaint. I really love my x70!
@@djtan3313 i tested the x70, it feels heavy but the dct is good enough, ride is good, brake is good. I am used to DSG. You need to apply throttle fast...i would say tap sharply on the throttle instead of slowly pressing down on the pedal. X50 is the "wilder" version of the x70, due to smaller body and good engine output. I just dont like the way the engine vibrates when i tap on the pedal.I feel cramped due to the sitting position that i mentioned. so no regret i didnt get it.
Hi Good day Can anyone please tell me how to: Change the unit setting on TPMS on my X50 ?? Currently, the unit reading is in KPA. I would like to change to PSI. Can anyone help with clear instruction?? Please. Thank you & have a nice day

Every Malaysian knows mahathirism is bad for Malaysia with monopoly protection that did not benefit every one or us at all.
Now Proton is fast building safer and better continuous improve quality and desire products for Malaysian and export market like Pakistan and Turkey.
Hi Bobby😎 X50 or civic tcp? I know it's a different segment type of car but kind of really hard to choose 🤔
Such a nice car! Great value for money.
One year on, the car seems to keep its value.
Great Malaysian product. Something to be proud of.
The sad part is it’s wasn’t a Malaysian product. It was produced by Geely China and relaunched it right after Geely bought over Proton. Theoretically, it was a China product. Proton was just a failure in the past 30 years
Hi Bobby , thanks for reviewing this car. I enjoyed your video as always. Anyway, was wondering if you felt the wind sound when driving above 90km/h? It feels like it’s coming from the side mirrors or the portion above it. What’s your comment on that? TQ once again
30:50 seems like Proton GKUI engineers need to calibrate more those voice commands using Manglish/singlish and Bahasa Melayu pasar to cater Malaysians users.
Will you make a follow-up video which a review after a year use of x50?
But bobby ...does the (canvas)can be easily hacked?
If u need to travel a lot crossing state. Try before u buy. Wind noise noticeably strong when u hit 100kmh
That's the sound of the thickness of one's wallet. Rolls Royce is a lot quieter :p and no cars within X50's price point is as quiet.
Very interesting review on the X50
what can you say about sunroof ? is it hot inside ?
Raining ah Rainingggggggg hahahahah @30:50
Bobby Ang: a hoonigan in test drive events, hitting 240km/h in his Avant
Also bobby: why is the light preventing me turning left?
Finally geely has bring proton to next level
Not bring, it's 'used' to help geely to increase sales globally
@@wfsiew the rebadged is the result of how proton messed up big time before geely takeover. So, proton would like to reform the new era with resemble of it's history of partnership with mitsubishi. As we all know proton used to rebadged it's old cars with mitsubishi model. So, in this case, Proton want to make some kind of symbolic of it's 'new life' with the help of geely group same event in connection of what past has show us
I don't know whether I'm watching a review or a comedy of kl drivers 😂
Notice no one comment the x50 braking performance , Bobby could you share ?
Braking is good like any other car. Usually no issue here and bobby also don't mention it. that means it's ok and viewer understand it
At the current price point & all the loaded technology + amazing build quality, i still wondering, why many Malaysian peoples still complain its still very expnsive.
New Peugeot 2008 or Proton X50?
Everything is relevant to price, what you get in any X50 variant is also relevant to its price. , so don't compare to an Audi or the likes ............one word only............ unbeatable !
Rebranded Geely Coolray. Great car for the price.
Can someone tell me where tf is the switch to open the God damn fuel cap been searching for it for 30min straight
How about maintenance??costly??tq
Is this geely coolray right?
Waittt, what about auto parking???
I showed this review to my sister and she's booking a test drive tomorrow 🤣
If not mistaken it can use mirror link with QD Link
Hi Bobby, really respect what you did on cars. Perhaps one day can review your neighbor's yellow RX-7 FD? Hahaha
thanks for the detailed review 😬👍
Talking to the car can be fun! Would the car understand Chris Wee's Italian English? 😂
It'll tell error 404😂
The traffic light thingy
No la that place not wide enough to u turn
@@BobbyAngmalaysia 👍
Can you make a video to activate ICC or ACC
Great review Bobby!! Gon earn some and eye that tgdi flagship, if not then cheaper premium one with 6 airbags fits my needs alrdy hehe 👍🏻
28:37 Bobby's intimate moment with Hi Proton
30:31 Funny Hi Proton closes all four windows at Msian slang
How’s the petrol consumption?
im just a simple guy..give thumbs up before play the video
Does it have a kickdown button in the pedal?
What about the wind noise
27:56 myvi’s drivers are always problematic
hey dont judge, dont judge lol
I concur 😁
So much fun with the voice commands :D
this car actually looks better from the inside.
Hi bobbyrians!! What is the best upgrade from myvi lagi best??Budget around 80k🙏🏻
if you value fuel consumption, Honda City👍🏼
i like thr way you think 👍🏻
Great review😁 Hope to see your genting run with this x50😊
Well said. You speak the kind of detail that answers my questions without me needing to go and test drive the car myself. 👍. He is knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time. 👏
You macam picking fight with Proton. Hilarious🤣
My complaint with my x70 is cockpit. My left hand hits my left knee/thigh when I turn steering left enuff. That centre handlebar is taking up space for my left thigh. Can it b removed?...
My left knee hit the center piece where the gear knob is sitting on. so it put me in a not so comfortable sitting position while driving the x50. if sitting at the front passenger seat is even worse since there is that center handlebar. X70 is much better in this sense, no complain there. The X50 wet dual clutch is a good one, smooth and fast. But i can feel the vibration from the engine when trying to accelerate from low speed in sport mode (don't floor but tap on the throttle). Right and handling are pretty ok. Brakes are ok. responsive and able to stop the car fast in the midst of acceleration. Becareful with the coated door silver door handle. Someone scratched the one in the test drive unit and can see the black color underneath.
Nitric ; The dct likes a decisive input. How shall I say; it don’t like a slow speed, foot resting on throttle, draggy kinda throttle input.
Anyway, it’s just my minor complaint. I really love my x70!
@@djtan3313 i tested the x70, it feels heavy but the dct is good enough, ride is good, brake is good. I am used to DSG. You need to apply throttle fast...i would say tap sharply on the throttle instead of slowly pressing down on the pedal. X50 is the "wilder" version of the x70, due to smaller body and good engine output. I just dont like the way the engine vibrates when i tap on the pedal.I feel cramped due to the sitting position that i mentioned. so no regret i didnt get it.
Hi
Good day
Can anyone please tell me how to:
Change the unit setting on TPMS on my X50 ??
Currently, the unit reading is in KPA.
I would like to change to PSI.
Can anyone help with clear instruction??
Please.
Thank you & have a nice day
Bobby will always be the best reviewer!
The best review.. simple & understandable
Putting aside RM30k difference, between X50 and Civic, which is a better overall package? Really cannot tahan X50 waiting time dy..
Btw this and a used d segment sedan which is more comfy?
How used? What year? What make?
@@BobbyAngmalaysia say a honda accord 9th gen or camry xv40?
Buying X50 is like trying to get a PS5 at this moment. Already decided to buy, don't know when can get.
