Proton X50
2020–present · 1.5T TGDi (3-cylinder, Geely-derived, direct injection) · 7-speed wet DCT
The Proton X50 (2020+) uses Geely's 1.5T 3-cylinder TGDi engine with a 7-speed wet DCT. Direct injection means carbon buildup at 60,000–80,000 km. 3-cylinder inherent vibration is normal. DCT fluid every 40,000 km prevents shudder. Early X50 units had DCT calibration issues — software update resolves most cases.
