Q
What is the road tax of Proton X50? How to calculate it?
The road tax of the Proton X50 is mainly calculated based on the displacement of its 1.5L turbocharged engine. Meanwhile, it's necessary to know whether it belongs to Class B (engine displacement from 1.5L to 1.6L) or Class C (engine displacement from 1.6L to 1.7L) (there might be slight adjustments depending on the classification in different markets). In Peninsular Malaysia (West Malaysia), the annual road tax for private cars with Class B engines is about RM90 (basic fee) + RM20 (insurance surcharge), totaling around RM110. In East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak), the road tax is usually slightly lower, approximately RM80 - RM90 (excluding insurance costs). It should be noted that for vehicles registered to a company, the road tax is about 50% higher than that for private cars, around RM135 - RM150. In addition, car owners can also check the specific road tax charges through MyJPJ or at the nearby JPJ counter. It is recommended to pay the road tax on time to avoid fines. For car owners planning long - term use, they may also consider directly purchasing multi - year road tax (up to 5 years) to reduce the hassle of annual renewal.
Q
What is the width of Proton X50?

Q
Is Proton X50 a good car?

For example, the 1.5T model can provide sufficient power to meet the needs of daily driving and overtaking, offering a smooth driving experience. The interior space is reasonably designed with a wheelbase of 2,600mm, which can provide a comfortable riding experience for passengers. The trunk can also meet the daily loading needs. Regarding the interior, some models are equipped with a 10.25 - inch screen and the GKUI voice control system.
