The Proton X90, the Malaysian carmaker’s first mild-hybrid (MHEV) model, is teased to make its export debut outside of Malaysia in the tropical island nation of Mauritius. No further details on which variants are going to be offered there nor a launch date announcement but suffice it to say that the Mauritian-spec X90 will be fully imported (CBU) from Malaysia like the X50 and the X70 which are currently sold there. Back home, the Proton X90 has won over buyers and is Malaysia’s best-selling D-s

In terms of adult occupant protection, the X90 scored an impressive 30.20 out

Set to be Proton’s largest model when it goes on sale in Malaysia in 2022, the upcoming Geely Haoyue-based ‘Proton X90’ could be yet another homerun. Too bad for those hoping for the Geely Jiaji-based MPV, as the SUV-esque Geely Haoyue makes better sense in this region.

Back in October, the updated Toyota Innova was given its world debut in Indonesia. Over in the archipelago, the Innova is given two names, the standard Kijang Innova and the sporty Venturer. Meanwhile, closer to home, the new Innova is expected to arrive in Malaysia in 2021.
