As many of you probably already know, the Proton X50 will be offered with two engines, both with turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder petrol units. In the flagship high-end variant, the mill features direct fuel injection, generating 177 hp at 5,500 rpm and 255 Nm of torque from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm.
Meanwhile, the Standard, Executive and Premium variants get a port-injected version of the engine that is rated at 150 PS & 226 Nm. All X50s have a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission that sends power to the front wheels, with no all-wheel drive option.
That’s all well and good, but “auto experts” have been providing all kinds of claims and theories that the three-cylinder engines in the X50 are a bad thing. When we were given access to the B-segment SUV during yesterday’s media preview event, we tried to find out if there was any truth to the talk.
Proton has said that the X50’s engines have received more than 10 specific parts to upgrade their NVH. In this video, we reviewed the vibration, noise, and cranking refinement of Flagship’s 1.5 TGDi engine, so if you’re curious and demand a visual and audio test, let Hafriz Shah give you the 411 on the subject at hand. .
