Last month, Proton introduced the X50 Black Edition, a limited-run version of its facelifted B-segment SUV based on the range-topping Flagship that comes finished in Quartz Black metallic. At the time, the company said only 200 units of the Black Edition would be offered to customers.
However, demand for the Black Edition was so encouraging that Proton has decided to make Quartz Black a standard colour option for all X50 variants starting this month. Pricing stays the same, with the base Executive going for RM89,800 on-the-road without insurance, the mid-spec Premium at RM101,800 and top-spec Flagship at RM113,300.
The introduction of Quartz Black comes at the expense of Passion Red, which has been dropped from the palette. As such, Passion Red is no longer available for any Proton model, as the last car to get it was the S70 (Ruby Red replaced it with the launch of the MC1), while the Iriz has already been discontinued.
With this development, the available colour options for the X50 now include Armour Silver, Snow White, Jet Grey, Teal Bayou Green and Quartz Black. As we pointed out previously, the black hue does a good job of disguising the size of the facelift’s massive front grille, while also making the red accents more prominent.
