Proton X50 Spied In India Not For The First Time: Complete Details-
Proton X50 is a mid-size compact SUV jo current Indian market mein rival kar sakti hain Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, VW Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, MS Grand Vitara, Toyota Hyryder etc. Abb jab iss gaadi ko spot karliya gaya hain toh speculations kiye jaa rahe hain that Proton might be coming to India with their first product being X50 itself. Apart from the speculations, sources ke according this is not the first time that Proton X50 has been spotted in India but it is the second time. January 2022 mein Proton X50 ko first time spot kiya gaya tha testing phase mein Indian roads par.
Testing ka reason could be anything, Proton could be either testing X50 for the Indian market or re-evaluating the market in general or even just testing feasibility of X50’s platform, while a more India oriented vehicle development is in pipeline. Currently, Proton X50 based hain on the BMA modular platform that Geely and Volvo have jointly developed. In Proton, the platform bears RHD layout for Malaysia and other ASEAN markets.
Talking more about the actual specifications of this SUV, toh Proton X50 measures 4330 mm in length, 1800 mm in width and 1609 mm in height. It is 2600 mm long in terms of wheelbase which is quite competitive agar Indian rivals se compare kare toh. Engine ki baat kare toh, Proton X50 is powered by a 1.5-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine jo produce karta hain 155 PS ki max. power and 226 Nm ka max. torque, whereas top spec variant mein yeh engine tune kiya gaya hain to produce 177 PS ki max. power and 255 Nm ka max. torque mated to 7-speed DCT transmission as standard across the complete line up.
Design of the Proton X50 is quite modern and carries a decent road presence which can be seen in the spy shots as well. On the exterior it gets LED projector headlamps, LED DRLs, automatic headlamps, LED fog lamps, roof rails, alloy wheels, twin dual exhaust tips, chrome garnishes, rear wiper and washer, LED turn indicators, sloping roof line, roof mounted spoiler, spoiler mounted high mount stop lamp etc.
Coming inside the Proton X50, it agains looks premium but has few touches jo identical lagte hain to other cars from Chinese subsidiaries. But yes, in terms of features yeh gaadi equipped hain with leather wrapped steering wheel, steering modes, cruise control with speed limiter, driving modes, auto dimming IRVM, engine push start/stop button, panoramic sunroof, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone connectivity, ADAS features like lane assist, high beam assist etc.
Abb agar Proton X50 ki future prospects ki baat kare toh, India mein already Chinese subsidiary companies are selling their cars like Geely owned Swedish brand Volvo and SAIC owned British brand MG motors. Similarly, we can expect Proton to enter India as technically it has its roots in Malaysia. So it would be right to say that there is a high possibility that Proton might launch in India with their SUV line up.
