Proton is a Malaysian brand that’s owned by the Geely Group (who also own Volvo and Lotus). Locally, there’s a three-model lineup (X50, X70 and Saga), but a fourth model has just arrived. This is the Proton X90 and is the largest vehicle offered by the brand and also sees the debut of hybrid technology. The Proton X90 is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder petrol engine with a 48V electric motor synergy system. Outputs of 130 kW and 255 Nm are claimed, with 14 kW and 52 Nm from the electric setup.
