In China, the 7-seater Geely Haoyue is priced very closely to the 5-seater Geely Boyue (sold here as the Proton X70). On paper, it certainly sounds like a good deal, considering that buyers are getting a larger SUV for a similar amount of money.

At the media test drive event today, Proton has confirmed that the 2020 Proton X50 will feature Auto Park Assist. This is part of the Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), which is classified as level 2 semi-autonomous driving. The Auto Park Assist feature is able to assist drivers in manoeuvring the car into perpendicular parking (shown as vertical parking in the photo) spots and parallel parking spots. It also helps in exiting parallel parking spots. The system actively controls the steer

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. The yet-to-be-named Perodua D55L is indeed in the same segment as the 2020 Proton X50. Now that order books for the 2020 Proton X50 are open, should you go right ahead and buy it or should you hold off a little longer for the Perodua D55L? Well, let’s consider their respective propositions. Wait… you said same segment, are they the same in size? Not quite. The Proton X50 measures in at 4,330 mm long, 1,800 mm wide, 1,609 mm tall, with a wheelbase str
