Spotted in Songkhla recently, it seems that this is the Flagship variant - note the black spoiler (hinting at the variant-specific dual-tone colourway) and two-tone wheels.
This corroborates with our earlier report that at least the base Standard and the range-topping Flagship variants are very likely to make their way there.
To recap, the Malaysian-specs X50 comes with two different powertrain options, depending on variant:
Proton X50 specs
Variant
Standard, Executive, Premium
Flagship
Powertrain
1.5-litre, turbocharged three-cylinder
Multi-point injection (MPI)
150 PS / 226 Nm
7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT)
1.5-litre, turbocharged three-cylinder
Direct injection (TGDI)
177 PS / 255 Nm
7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT)
Also, Proton's plans to export to the Land of Smiles has been known for some time - recall that the GKUI19 infotainment system now understands Thai.
Although we previously reported that the earliest exports of the X50 can only commence in end-2021, these set of photos hints at an earlier-than-expected launch there. In any case - you'll read it here first.
