One of the most highly-anticipated cars this year, the 2023 Proton X90 is confirmed to launch on 7-May 2023 at 3pm local time. Expect daily teasers of Proton’s first 7-seater SUV over the course of the next five days.
The Proton X90 is available in 4 variants, all of which are powered by a mild-hybrid (MHEV) 3-cylinder turbocharged 1.5-litre engine with a 48V starter generator. The system produces 190 PS and 300 Nm combined and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT).
Unique to the X90 is the rear multi-link suspension as opposed to a rear torsion beam set-up as seen in the donor vehicle, the Geely Haoyue/Okavango. The top-of-the-line Flagship variant gets a 6-seat arrangement while lower rung variants get a 7-seat configuration.
Bookings of the 2023 Proton X90 have been open since 11-April, and will only be sold at Proton 3S / 4S outlets. Showroom-only 1S outlets will not carry the model.
The quest for automotive knowledge began as soon as the earliest memories. Various sources information, even questionable ones, have been explored including video games, television, magazines, or even internet forums. Still stuck in that rabbit hole.
