In the past, Chinese SUVs sold in Malaysia barely made a dent in the market share of well-established rivals.

Seeing the success of the X50 and X70 in Malaysia has prompted other Chinese manufacturers to hop onto the bandwagon, with their sights set on the lucrative SUV segmen

It has been one week since we collected our Perodua Ativa and we have managed to cover more than 1,000 km on the odometer.

This time, our friends over at Funtasticko mentioned that Proton could be introducing a 1.4-litre variant of the X50, as several units have reportedly arrived in Malaysia.
