After launching its media preview, Proton Malaysia has finally launched its luxurious crossover SUV, X90. This is the third crossover by the Malaysian car maker after X70 and X50, the former is also launched in Pakistan. According to details, the new SUV has four variants with two seating options, i.e., six and seven.
The salient specs and features of the new Proton X90 are:
The new car comes with a 48V mild-hybrid system with six key components:
Furthermore, the 1.5TGDI engine produces 176hp and 255Nm of torque with BSG. However, with a mild-hybrid system, the power generation reaches 188hp and 300Nm of torque. The engine is mated with a dual-clutch 7-speed transmission. The company also mentioned that this mild-hybrid system improves standing start by 10% and passing acceleration by 15% compared to a 1.5L engine.
The three variants of this new crossover, i.e., Standard, Executive, and Premium, are seven-seaters with a 2-3-3 configuration and a bench middle row. The fourth, the flagship variant, is a six-seater with a 2-2-2 layout and two second-row captain chairs.
The biggest question for us as a local consumers is whether it will launch in Pakistan. To get the answer to this query, we contacted Proton Pakistan, and the company told us, “Yes, it will be launched in the country.” However, it doesn’t give an estimated timeline. So, we may have to wait a bit longer, especially considering Pakistan’s current economic and political situation.
