Hoping for around RM90k...
The Level 2 autonomous driving assistance in the flagship is very useful and worth it and will make the car much more "future proof" for the next 4-5 years IMHO
*
I plan to get flagship but there is no video or brochure to 'promote' this feature.. hard to convince ppl to upgrade to flagship when they dont know what is L2 ADAS.. plus the sunroof is not really a plus point to some..

I have seen Philippine and China Ones but they are not so much L2 at all so I’m wondering where the heck they get another system to support L2 and who the heck built it.

I wouldn’t want to risk it if the system is built by local 😵

Got video from china, similar to honda sensing in civic now. Auto cruise control, lane keep assist, auto emergency breaking..

I see. Anyone got slots left? I watch the videos, seems like the quality of the cameras are not that good. Or is it just the preview unit only like that?
*
It's possible but could be due to indoor poor lighting. This saturday got public viewing so we'll get more info..

Wtf 103K doesn’t make sense man I estimated the highest is 95K for highest variant.

If they really price 103K then i confirm Proton is trying to raise the price range bar for the future models including revamped Saga and Iris.
*
It's possible.. then after sst rebate is less than 100k.

QUOTE(exdtan @ Sep 17 2020, 03:38 PM)
It’s possible that we are getting this ‘low quality’ camera because it’s CKD with 45% parts/component locally assembled.

They trying to cut down cost while keeping the price high for profit 🤷🏼‍♂️
*
I agree, it's possible (look at vios)

Pricing between 75-95k would be in the sweet spot. Those that doesn't want the bells and whistles can go for the lower end and those who want the canggih stuff can fork out another 20k which put just below the x70 base model.

Putting aside the cost of manufacturing and the tax structure of this car (which we don't know), if I were Proton, I would price my car as below judging from the different between the equipment provided.

Standard: 76K
Executive: 80K
Premium: 86K
Flagship: 95K
*
This is possible. It would make sense since buyer can decide if he wants x50 premium or x70 standard. If flagship too high, Proton still need to educate people on why they should pay more for the ADAS 2.0.

Also, much cheaper can grab sales from new city and almera.

I dont know if i would go for the flagship even if its below 100k. The sunroof kind of worries me.

I'm hoping the flagship parts comes from geely mostly, since it's almost the same as geely binyue (especially the ADAS). Honda civic has issues with it's front sensors..

Went over to a Proton Edar showroom to book a unit today.
According to my SA, they had 5K bookings nationwide on Malaysia Day itself.
Most likely they breached 10K already by now...

The estimated delivery date would be from 3 to 6 months.
Even signed disclaimer to say I might not get the sales tax exemption lol.
*
Ask for it this year.. if deliver next year its ok but price remain! lol

I'm targeting the Premium. Not infavor of these upgrades:

1. TGDi engine - DI engine tends to buildup premature carbon. This will need additional maintenance

2 .Panoramic sunroof - Dont find this useful in our weather

3. Driver assist - Dont think it will be useful for my driving
*
Thats why they let you choose between premium and flagship.
For me the most important is driver assist, especially AEB and Blindspot.
Too many idiots cutting in last minute and motor driving at your blindspot..

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Sep 20 2020, 11:27 AM)
i no see ada this, binyue also macam tak ada.

oh wai, macam coolray and binyue ada. ok thats cool man.

https://www.chinapev.com/geely/geely-binyue...ing-experience/

but why see malaysia punya video all macam tak ada wei.. maybe cut cost, damn...
*
I don't think have, if not they will feature it already. Definitely to cut cost aa some might like it, some might not.

Btw noticed that every time see the 360 camera performance on x50, it looks very poor. Got slight green-ish tint. Low quality camera?

Noticed it too.. some say HD became SD 😔

Agreed! I think if proton maintain all the features in coolray (+ the rear vents) and charging 100k wouldn't be a problem. Really disappointed with the quality of the cameras and infotainment system.
*
I think the idea must be that people don't really use 360 camera often. It's just there as a feature.. i think vios/yaris 360 also not so clear

Before any deduction. They mentioned its the price they memang want to charge us but after getting all our roars they believe there is a reason to revise the price. But it wont run too far away from this price range.
*
They should reduce la since people already book to support proton.. they will be shooting themselves in the knee..

How about focusing on the positives instead of nitpicking:

177hp, 255m torque
Real world 8.5 sec 0-100km/h acceleration
Level 2 autonomous driving assistance with ICC & ACC, AEB, blindspot warning, etc
Lovely interior with a 10.25" infotainment screen with 360 camera
Panoramic sunroof

No other car within the same category and price range that can match the specifications of the Proton X50.
*
Agree. Sometimes we forget that x50 is competing with hrv, seltos, chr.. not geely binyue 😅

It's a compromise definitely. Ask yourself, how often do we use the 360 camera..

Hi guys, any good SA to recommend? I doubt any from proton will be giving cash rebates for such newly launch model huh? Do you guys think we still can make it to get the car by end of this year to make it for the tax discount? Now almost end of Sept. Price also haven't announced, test drive unit also wont be so soon I guess  :confused:

You all already placed your bookings? Thinking to consider x50 among hr-v & subaru xv (cash rebate 10k quite attractive)
*
Placed booking since there is no other car that's equivalent within x50 budget. If you get early, you might get tax rebate. If not, also good since you will get it next year, which is a 2020 car.
