A detailed comparison of Malaysia's two most popular B-segment SUVs. We break down the specs, price, and value.
The B-segment SUV market in Malaysia is hotter than ever. Two contenders stand out: the Proton X50 and the Honda HR-V. Both offer style, performance, and advanced technology. But which one gives you more bang for your buck?
The Proton X50 ranges from RM 86,300 to RM 113,300.
The Honda HR-V starts significantly higher, ranging from RM 114,800 to RM 140,800.
For the price of an entry-level HR-V, you can get the top-spec Proton X50 Flagship with all the bells and whistles.
The X50 Flagship comes with a 1.5L TGDi engine pushing 177 PS and 255 Nm of torque.
The HR-V Turbo produces 181 PS and 240 Nm.
While the horsepower is similar, the X50 offers higher torque, which translates to better acceleration in city driving.
Both cars offer ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems).
If value for money is your priority, the Proton X50 is the clear winner. You get comparable performance and tech for nearly RM 30,000 less. However, if brand prestige and interior practicality (Magic Seats) are non-negotiable, the HR-V remains a strong choice.
