Rumour has it the Proton X50 will be launched on 15-October. The long-awaited B-segment SUV from Proton has been speculated, rendered, and spied for the longest time possible.

Dimensions - Just how big is the Haoyue again? Starting with dimensions, Geely cheekily mentioned that the Haoyue is a XXXL-sized (大大大空间) SUV.
