For the last bit of advice, this video now deserves a thumbs up from me. Salut!

If Im being honest, I would have gone for the Proton just for the looks inside out and the handling. The two tone interior of the proton is just on another level of gorgeous.

i’d rather to choose ATIVA on the value for money reason.. even though i love x50 so much, i think ATIVA is better option.. comparing the features.. and i don’t have any problem with 1.0L turbo engine.. peace ✌️ no war

P2 main selling point is "jimat minyak". Mostly Malaysian will prefer "jimat minyak" instead of performance. for car enthusiast like Hafriz surely prefer X50

kudos to paultan team! you guys are so swift and good coverage

Always love his way of commenting. Not bias anywhere. Very professional. Easy to understand too.

That 2 model is cannot be compared. X50 is a level with HRV but these Ativa is a Myvi crossover. X50 more premium built than this Ativa

[muhammadafiq]

They are worth comparing and giving us more options to look at..D55L is not a direct competitor in term of specs but sure they compete in attracting suv buyers

[MrZoff]

I prefer perodua due to more affordable price and also as standard have 6 airbags

[syukridesa]

As mention by Hafriz the things to consider :
- design
- engine and transmission
- chasis
- safety features
- last pricing definitely Perodua win on this

pocophone f1 once a smartphone flagship price killer, can say that ativa is suv flagship price killer.. not perfect, but better spec at low price as of now..

[aminuddinsoopar]

Congrats P2 8:27 being involved with the design. This myvi on steroid is definitely a handsome creation

Great video Hafriz, it all boils down to personal preference and what matters in the end of the day. For me personally i love the R&H of the X50 but i cant deny the Perodua has a better safety suite as compared to the X50 (and cheaper). I wouldn't mind testing the Perodua once it is out just for driving comparison sake. As we all know Protons are a natural when it comes to R&H. lets just hope its not a sampan as like a certain Perodua. It's an SUV after all..

[victorbarnabas]

Great video, but ativa and x50 is not in the same level. One is focusing on performance and ride quality and the other one boasts fuel consumption. End of the day whatever floats your boat.

[tiadanama]

Wow looks good and hopefully the price is good too.

[thagish]

The things is, I couldn't compare because of price difference between these two. Might just take Ativa for the greater good.

[silcosilva]

seems like the engine power figures are what people should look at too... cause the Daihatsu Rocky/Toyota Raize comes with a 1.0L turbo while the Geely Coolray comes with a 1.5L turbo...

[banchuanteo]

My vote will go to perodua...
And its proven again and again.. That they are... By far.. More generous in feature offerings... Compare to the arrogant, once died-ed monopoly proton..

[corptaxmyautotalk]

Although interior dimension wise, both are likely about the same but I believe the x50 definitely has faster acceleration. It's a question of whether it is worth paying more for that thrill. In terms of reliability and maintenance cost, I will place my bet on CVT over DSG gearbox.

I love how perodua Ativa have full size spare wheel tyres.
Compared to proton X50 have spare skinny tyre.
What a shame for proton.
