A prototype 2025 Proton X50 facelift has been sighted with a revised front camo that’s thinner on the disguise, revealing a new front face that seems inspired by the Geely Binyue L. These new spyshots were posted to the paultan.org FB group by reader Hadri Jeffrey. We previously already guessed that the new X50 facelift will take the Geely Binyue L as its base (judging by the full-width horizontally-slatted lower grille, as opposed to the Binyue Cool’s mesh grille), but this new spyshot pretty much confirms it. Geely Binyue L (left) and Binyue Cool Expect the next iteration of Proton’s best-selling SUV to get a redesigned tailgate and back bumper, full-width tail lamps, the aforementioned full-width horizontally-slatted lower front grille, slim headlamps with S70-like DRL dashes, L-shaped bumper corners front and rear, plus new 18-inch turbine-style alloys. Under the X50 facelift’s bonnet could be Geely’s latest four-cylinder turbo engine, used since the Binyue Cool. In the Binyue L, the 180 PS/290 Nm mill is married to a seven-speed wet twin-clutch gearbox, yielding a 7.6-second 0-100 km/h time.
