Did Geely just confirmed that Proton X50's engine is not the same as Volvo XC40's?

Is the Proton X50's using the same engine as the Volvo XC40? It depends on who are you asking. Proton fans (and sales people) insist that it's the same engine but others say it's similar but not the same. To recap, the Proton X50 rides on Geely’s BMA platform, which is developed in-house by Geely themselves, without Volvo’s input. The Volvo XC40 however, rides on the more sophisticated CMA platform, which is co-developed by both Geely and Volvo, via their Sweden-based CEVT joint-venture company.
