Proton X50
Proton, a Malaysian automaker, intends to work with Al-Haj Group to introduce its third vehicle in Pakistan. This time, it's the Proton X50, a crossover SUV that like its older brother, the Proton X70, in every way. The only difference is that X50 is less expensive and smaller than X70. It’s a B-segment crossover that is actually a rebadged Geely car, “Geely Binyue” or “Geely Coolray”. The Proton X50 SUV was introduced in Malaysia in October 2020, and it has completely dominated the local market there. Proton delivered almost 11,000 X50 units between October 2020 and March 2022, but the company is still having trouble keeping up with demand in the region. The vehicle is offered internationally in four trim levels: Standard, Executive, Premium, and Flagship.
A Malaysian media channel broke the news that Proton is preparing to introduce this car in Pakistan. The business may import the CBU units for testing and development on the domestic market before releasing the Proton X50 as CKD units.

The estimated starting price of the Proton X50 in Pakistan is PKR 5,000,000. This approximate cost is ex-factory and not include freight, taxes, and other documentation fees.
