2020 Proton X50 1.5T Standard User Reviews

For an SUV, it has quite a small boot volume.  

Thanks to its 1.5-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged engine, the Geely Binyue goes from 0-100km/h in less than 8 seconds. With this much power and a small body, this car is fun to drive. I love hearing the sound of the turbo flutter when I lift off the throttle during hard acceleration.   

The suspension can handle most of the small bumps nicely, but it can get jarring when going through speed bumps. The steering is numb. I think Geely needs to step up its game to refine the Binyue's steering feel to match its power and handling.  

Fuel consumption is average. I get around 13km/l driving in a heavily congested city centre.  

The Geely Binyue has a spacious rear seat with ample legroom and headroom.  

There is an old Chinese saying that goes "Some prefer radish but others prefer cabbage" I think the Binyue's appearance was the main factor for me to get it.   

I got the model below the top-spec available for the Geely Binyue. It has everything I needed: auto headlight, keyless entry, 360-degree panoramic camera, and, electronically operated seats.
