Such is the granular focus of the engineering team during the creation of the Proton X90. Just like the X50 and X70 that preceded it, many millions of test kilometres were racked up.

"For the development, we started from the mule to the mass production car, so every variant we have tested for the suspension tuning," explained the model's Vehicle Chief Engineer, Zabani Bin Hj.

Geely Haoyue-based Proton X90 – Largest SUV yet The first one isn’t too hard to guess, as the model has been spotted in Malaysia a few times already. We’re

Since the Proton-Geely partnership in 2017, we have witnessed two popular SUVs bearing the Proton badge - the Proton X70 and Proton X50. A third Geely-based model is due for 2021, and it is most likely the Proton X90, based on the Geely Haoyue, a 7-seater SUV. We’ve talked about the Proton V70/Geely Jiaji as a viable candidate previously, but the agreement to purchase the Jiaji will lapse by 31-Dec 2020 and the MPV segment is a diminishing one. With images of the Geely Haoyue at hand, we took th
