Hi all, what is your opinion of waiting until Dec to buy the X50?

Will there be better offers at the end of the year?

Still some guidance would be good. Proton SC quoting me RM459.

Last time back in June they told me need to change urgently since SOH just 3%

Get a good car battery charger and charge your battery every 2 to 3 months.

The battery will last longer.

I have the X50 Premium.
There are 2 parking sensors at the front.
I feel the range of the parking sensors are a bit short.
Need the object to be somewhat near before the sensor starts beeping.

Anyone else feels the same?

My front left window suddenly cannot open.
Press the button many times still cannot.

Then decided to check the battery and saw that the voltage is below 12v
Connected my Bosch C7 charger to the battery and proceeded to charge it.
And also pulled out the power window fuse in the engine Bay Area for 30 seconds and plug it back it.

After doing the above, the power window works again!!
I let the Bosch charger to continue charging the battery until full.

How many hours required by Bosch charger? Mine is Foxsur charger and usually end it up for 6-8 hours repair mode. Make the flat battery as new again

About 6 to 8 hours also.

Just that I am using the normal 12V charge mode, not repair mode.

If fuel consumption is a concern, better don't drive SUV.
Better look for hybrid car or diesel.
SUV is heavy. Look for light weight cars.

Does anyone else experience shuddering or shaking in their x50 while reversing up a slope? My X50 is the TGDI version, at home there's a slope to reverse park, whenever reversing on the slope, just lightly tapping the throttle the car shakes like it's struggling to reverse. If I tap it too much, then it's too fast, kinda scary. The slope is like....30-35 degree slanting?

Edit: This doesn't happen with my mom's city or another Bezza we have at home.

Are you using auto hold?

Try disable auto hold.

My experience is stopping at a T junction on a steep slope waiting for chance to turn right.
The X50 did not move when I pressed the accelerator.
Feels like the gear not engaged and moving backwards even though I am in D.

Scary!!!

Clutch slipping?

Normal auto GB no issue.
This DCT GB got this kind of issue. Haiz.

Hello, I want to ask do your cars frequently experience wheel spin when accelerating from standstill. Eg when quickly crossing a T junction or going up slopes at parking lots.

My x50 seems to wheel spin a lot and the engine/transmission gives off an unpleasant sound when that happens
*
Yes I have the same experience as well.

I think it is because of the DCT gear box.
DCT GB has some similar characteristics like manual GB.

Mine is Din62L Camel blue top. Has lated 2 years sharp. Proton SC said charge is 23% back in early August 2025 during service. Shall I just change? On Shopee can get for RM223 with voucher

I haven't changed my X50's original battery yet but it is now 24 months old.

My French D segment car is using Century SDFC DIN75.
The century battery can last 24 months, maybe slightly more.

I also have a Bosch C7 battery charger and I charge the car batteries around once every 2 to 3 months.
