must wait
u get a nicer digital speedo
more option to customize the car behaviour

on the manaul, only model with digital meter can adjust walk away lock
determined the light on off time etc

because it had no gear to control
engine is connected to 1 speed gearbox , meaning no up shift nor downshift
motor is also connected to the 1 speed gearbox

quieter when you have enough power in the battery
otherwise the engine need to run at a certain rpm to charge the battery

adjust two item
screen brightness and lane watch camera setting
default low brightness one

please switch on headlamp when adjusting the screen brightness as they have 2 setting
day n night but never stated

i think rs might get it cause the manual write need to have the lcd screen to have that option

need model with lcd meter only could have such option to be enable
trying searching internet to enable it without the screen has fail

my source told me pricing is around 140k

this car have many hidden adjustment
like the brightness of the reverse camera can be adjusted but not from setting
u need to engage reverse, then touch the screen only the setting pop up

nah no need one
i wonder honda service center could do anything about this

or we can purchase the lcd meter and install it

should be very high price
but still need to see in person first
photo quality is very deceiving nowadays

Sonata new gen have one of the most premium interior for this segment, but upon riding in one
the material is really for tipu mata and the height is damn low

the waze sound also
i google nothing return because some car have dedicated volume control like phone

but this Head unit diff , all hide, then someone say try to adjust when it talking
then only able to do it , really walaoeh

confirm + chop is like this

the reverse camera is like 240P to my eye


u could play with the brightness and contrast to get a better result
tap the screen when reverse then u can see the setting logo

day n night time have separated setting

i read somewhere about the resolution
is very very low one

but if u look back to Gm6 display, its a huge jump both in size and picture quality

Got chance sit in an x50 for a prolong period of time (2 hrs plus)
i must say i was shock to see the short coming of x50 and best of all not much reviewer even dare to mention such issue at all

The seat , the space , the sound system , the high window line, the vibration , the lousy door
1 thing for sure, the car is a beauty, but others thing were mostly tipu kuat
the interior may appear to be stylish but dont ever touch it

The inner door handle have this weird finishing problem on the upper part , some may not care la but its there nonetheless


first i though it wrote geely there but nope, its just some weird indentation , and this happen to 4 of the door handle,

THE SEAT
Then the seat... I'm 1.8m tall, its very comfy for the upper part , the seat is huge and body hugging , but the seat base is another story

its short , then the height not enough to cover , making my tight to be suspended on the air


this guy is demoing the exact problem , he is 175cm tall and this happen to all seat in x50
for a quick spin or a 5 minute test drive this will not show , but after sitting for 30 minute and up , you will definitely feel something is not right
then this car leather gather heat and never dissipate it, after sitting for a while start to feel uncomfortably hot liao

despite claiming to be 1800mm wide car, its interior width does not reflect that mostly because the width spend to do styling liao

THE SOUND SYSTEM
the sound system is a big fail at least for me
it lacks bass, it feel like last gen myvi where the no bass is present , the sound stage also not there , no treble also fail big time , proton used to known for their sound sytem , but after geely take over, its getting worst.
update after consult the owner, Because Bluetooth reception is poor with X50 thus the sound quality i experience very bad

The head unit display top notch , the colour the size , the resolution memang best, but x support apple car play n android auto is such a big letdown

THE HIGH WINDOW LINE

remember this guy is 175cm and his neck also below the window line , if kids sitting there with seat belt on, he wont see a thing outside
the rear passenger enjoy a very limited outward visibility, couple with the black headliner, its abit claustrophobic, its recommended to leave the sunroof shade off all the time so that sunlight would penetrate the entire car


THE WEIRD VIBRATION
The weird vibration going thru the car floor
I'm not sure what this is call in english but in chinese is 路感
u feel every patch of tarmac going under the car thru the floor
the car isn't shaking but u feel the roughness of the road , and this is not for front row passenger
the rear passenger also can experience this

THE LOUSY DOOR
The door closing sound is super super solid for all 4 door , but its the rear door design that fail the car
there is a miscommunication between the engineering department and the styling department i presume
from the outside , the door look stylish , long
but the actual opening is tiny and there is a bulge so that going in and out for an adult is okay, but not for elderly or anyone suffer back issue
the door only do 2 stage opening, the first stage even kids would have hard time getting in , second stage full open style meaning u would likely to hit the car beside you more often that not because this abit like european car where once u push more that first stage, it will auto pull u to second stage of the opening and the space it take is just enormous

Conclusion
this is a driver car but not family friendly, if you ask me if regret taking the city V instead of this X50
i wouldn't after experience so many weird issue but if u are single , dont expect to take family on this car, its fine, its powerful but handling is not there for sure

AND i dare say x70 exe is a much better family car with the same price tag as the x50 Flagship that i tested

I listed above liao, this kind of issue really u need to sit for few hours then you know what the deal about it
everyone praise the x50 like it have no challenger , but i would say x70 is a much much better buy

Nope, i love the x50 power but the overall package just isn't for me
maybe if you could drive it or sit in it for few hours then you will know the shortcoming of this car

haha, this price is really gila gao gao

i think they compare it to iriz kut

despite being a B segment, myvi lack NVH by a large margin, and the absorber dont absorb bump but transmit directly to passenger


for the X50 , i would have not expect such shortcoming as geely have plenty of SUV in house
they should be experience enough not to design the seat these way

TBH i dont think proton input much
the drive side rear view mirror is totally wrong
they forget to change it

the so called hundred thousand Km test drive is really unacceptable when these glaring issue still presented

after asking my friend (owner of x50 n x70)
he say cannot test with Bluetooth, if not result will be like mine
no bass no treble so you gotta test out your self again see

x50 use silk dome as tweeter material thus better vocal , but lack of bass

x70 is much balance
x70 premium does have a sub woofer but its like non existence due to power i think

Kenwood lable for fun je, the speaker it self write geely
