The Proton X50's Chinese base car, the Geely Binyue, is set to receive an updated 'Pro' variant next month. Thanks to a couple of leaks, we can share a good look at the car and its details with you here.
Exterior - Comes with 'light show'
Big visual changes are afoot for the Binyue Pro, as up front it gets a fresh 'X' themed fascia. Part of that is a new honeycomb motif grille sitting between the LED headlights, themselves said to be updated with welcome light show patterns upon unlocking.
Along the sides, it receives a new set of black 18-inch wheels.
The Binyue Pro will also receive a rather aggressive roof spoiler to round off the looks.
Although not seen in this set of pictures, a previous leak suggest that the model will get a black tailgate trim, and a redesigned diffuser that comes with body-coloured finishing.
Adding flashiness is a 72-colour ambient lighting system, which can be adapted to driving mode, speed, and music tempo, in addition to other effects.
Powertrain - No extra details shared
Powertrain details for this exact model were not divulged yet. For context, the China-spec Binyue and Binyue Pro comes with three different powertrain options:
