The 2026 X90 trades its mild-hybrid powertrain for a new 1.5-litre i-GT 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, assembled at Proton’s own factory. This update adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, simplifies the range to three variants, but does not have ADAS. Its price, however, has been lowered and at launch time, is the lowest-priced D-segment SUV in Malaysia.
