Have you ever struggled to choose between the Proton X50 and Proton X70, these "brother cars" when selecting a household SUV? To judge how to choose between these two models, let's first start with the needs of a household SUV user. Consumers choosing a household SUV pay more attention to the product's cost-effectiveness, vehicle space, and driving safety. Therefore, we will compare the two cars in these three aspects to provide guidance for your purchase.


1.Price : Proton X70 is generally more expensive than Proton X50!

The overall price of the Proton X70 model is higher than that of the Proton X50. There is a large price difference between the Executive and Premium models, but the price difference between the low-end and high-end models is relatively smaller.

2.Vehicle space: The parameters of Proton X70 are slightly better, and the overall difference is not big!

Family SUV users need to consider the riding experience of the whole family, so the demand for vehicle space is large, and there needs to be enough space to accommodate the necessary items for the whole family, so there is a large demand for space in the trunk.

In terms of vehicle size, the overall difference between Proton X50 and Proton X70 is not big, and the impact on the interior space is not big. Although the parameters of Proton X70 will be higher than those of Proton X50, the actual impact is not big.

3.Driving Safety: Proton X70 is more comprehensive, but the top configuration of Proton X50 is also good!

The active safety system of the Proton X50 is equipped with basic ABS/EBD, ESC and safety belt reminder systems, but there is a high differentiation between the products. Only the highest configuration model 2024 Proton X50 1.5TGDi Flagship is equipped with Blind Spot Info System and Lane-keeping Alert safety features, while the rest of the models are not, leaving less choice for consumers, that can only opt for the higher configuration model considering safety.
