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 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.

However, the Okavango’s engine is aided by a 48V mild-hybrid battery which boosts power output to 190 PS and 300 Nm. Like the X50, the Okavango’

According to sources familiar with the matter, Proton’s line-up could be filled with even more SUVs in the future, as the company is in the midst of trademarking names like Proton X80 and Proton X90. Yes, Proton has even trademarked the Proton X80 name – one that is actually unfamiliar to many Malaysians. So, what is the Proton X80? Looking at Geely’s extensive portfolio of SUVs, it’s actually a bit hard to discern which model would the Proton X80 be based on. Also Read: Beyond the Proton X50 an

Geely will be launching the Geely Jiaji, Geely Binrui, and Geely Haoyue in the Philippines according to a teaser their official website. The silhouettes shown on Geely Philippines' website are easy guesses as told from the distinct body style – an MPV (Jiaji), sedan (Binrui), and large SUV (Haoyue). These cars would allow Geely to cover different body segments in the Philippines and appeal to a wider customer group. Geely entered the Philippines market in late 2019 with the market debut of the G
