Expert Reviews
The X90 is Proton's flagship SUV and it shows. The 7-seater layout is genuinely practical with adults fitting in the third row (not just kids). The 48V mild-hybrid delivers smooth power, and the premium Nappa leather interior feels upmarket. A proper family hauler.

After 30,000 km with the Flagship, the X90 has been reliable and comfortable. The 1.5L turbo + 48V system delivers 9-10 L/100km in mixed driving, which is good for a 7-seater SUV. The third row is usable for real trips, not just emergencies.

At RM117k-147k (after discounts), the X90 undercuts the Hyundai Santa Fe (RM180k+) and Mazda CX-8 (RM170k+) significantly while offering similar space and features. The value proposition is strong for large families.

The 12.3-inch touchscreen, 360-degree camera (Premium/Flagship), and full ADAS (Flagship) make the X90 feel modern. The Hi Proton voice assistant is handy when hands are full with kids. Tech-wise, it competes well above its price point.

Third-row access is easy with one-touch tumble function on second row. Space management is excellent with all three rows offering decent legroom. The 237L boot (all seats up) is tight, but fold the third row for 635L - plenty for family trips.
AutoBuzz.my
The 48V mild-hybrid system provides smooth stop-start operation and a slight power boost during acceleration. It's not a full hybrid like Alphard, but it adds refinement. The ride is comfortable, soaking up bumps well for a large SUV.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, surprisingly! The X90's third row can accommodate adults up to 170-175cm for short-medium trips (1-2 hours). Taller adults will find it tight for long journeys but manageable for city use. Third-row access is easy with one-touch tumble second-row seats. Kids and teenagers fit comfortably. It's one of the most spacious third rows in this price range. For reference: better than X70 (no third row), comparable to CX-8, tighter than Alphard (RM400k+).
Standard (RM127,523, offer RM117,523): Basic 7-seater, good for budget buyers. Executive (RM134,716, offer RM124,716): Adds leather, LKA, 360-camera - good middle ground. Premium (RM149,102, offer RM139,102): Adds panoramic sunroof, 6 airbags, LED, 19-inch wheels. Flagship (RM157,322, offer RM147,322): Full ADAS, ACC, premium Nappa leather, parking sensors - BEST for safety-conscious families. Most buyers choose Premium or Flagship for complete features.
Real-world fuel consumption (1.5L TGDi + 48V mild-hybrid, 7-speed DCT): Full load (7 passengers): 10-11 L/100km mixed, 9-10 L/100km highway. Normal load (4-5 passengers): 9-10 L/100km mixed, 8-9 L/100km highway. Empty/light load: 8.5-9.5 L/100km mixed. The 48V mild-hybrid helps during stop-start traffic. RON95 petrol. Reasonable for a 1.8-ton 7-seater SUV with decent performance.
X90 (RM117k-147k): 1.5L turbo + 48V, 7-speed DCT, 19-inch wheels, full ADAS on Flagship. CX-8 (RM170k+): 2.5L NA, 6-speed auto, Mazda refinement, better resale. Santa Fe (RM180k+): 2.5L turbo, 8-speed auto, Korean quality, premium badge. X90 is RM30k-40k cheaper with comparable features. Competitors offer better refinement and brand prestige. X90 wins on value and features per ringgit. Good choice if keeping long-term.
Boot capacity: All 3 rows up: 237L (fits groceries, small bags - tight for luggage). Third row folded: 635L (ample for family trips, strollers, camping gear). Second and third rows folded: 1,800L (massive, can fit furniture, bikes). The third row folds flat easily. For daily 7-seater use, the 237L boot handles groceries fine but luggage requires roof box for trips. Most families use third row occasionally and enjoy 635L regularly.
Yes, noticeable benefits: Smoother stop-start operation (engine restarts imperceptibly), slight power boost during acceleration (torque fill), improved fuel efficiency (1-2 L/100km savings vs non-hybrid), reduced turbo lag, quieter cabin with reduced vibration. It's NOT a plug-in hybrid (can't run on electric only), but it does enhance refinement and efficiency. The system works transparently - you feel the smoothness without thinking about it.
Excellent! Advantages: All 7 seats are comfortable for long journeys, ride quality is plush and absorbs bumps well, cabin is quiet at highway speeds, 635L boot (third row folded) fits luggage, ACC (Flagship) reduces driver fatigue, fuel economy 8-9 L/100km on highways is manageable. Owners report successful interstate trips (KL-Penang, KL-JB) with full family loads. The X90 is genuinely a family tourer, not just a city SUV.
Being a relatively new model (launched 2023), long-term data is limited. Current owner feedback: Generally reliable with proper maintenance, DCT operates smoothly when serviced regularly, 48V system has been trouble-free, build quality is solid. Minor issues: Some units have minor electrical glitches (software updates fix most), DCT requires fluid change at 60,000 km (important!). Overall, early reliability is good. Follow service schedule strictly and use quality fuel for best results.
