We’ve seriously come a long way and it has been a long wait for this vehicle which will be Proton and the country’s first ever affordable people mover, at under RM80k for a vehicle that can decently move 7 adults and some minor luggage. We first knew this vehicle simply by the name Proton MPV until its name – Proton Exora – was handpicked by a contest winner and unveiled a few months ago.
Stay tuned for 1030pm tonight where this site will unveil plenty more juicy details on the new Proton Exora. There was a previous report on a test drive experience of a prototype car, I hope you’ve all read that already otherwise please check them out in the linked related posts in this story. Some interesting BCM details in those stories!
Other than the specs and price of the Proton Exora I will also share with you my initial driving impressions of the actual production car, instead of the previous drive session which was with a prototype. So come back later tonight, it’s a decent product and I am as excited about writing the story as you hopefully are about reading it!

I have to admit that I'm kinda excited about this proton MPV.Please do take as much photos as possible and upload here.Looks like a great car.
congratulations proton for the new born baby. hope this baby will make all of us happy, although i'm not confident with the engine. hope there will be 1.8 in the future.
finally…the teaser campaign is a bit too long…it's getting a bit cold now…proton better surprise us tonight..if not, u'll c many dissapointed readers here in paultan.org
cmon . lets get over with all this teaser sh!t. enuf of it already. its tiring . its neither exciting nor anticipating. for goodness sake, this blog shd have stopped glamorizing this car since the beginning. FAMILARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT. try harder proton . at 80k so what? it shd be priced lower than this. i'm no proton basher but just wake up n get real here. whats so anticipating? whats the hype all about ? no one cares la . its jz a proton mpv. big deal? this Teaser Sh!t has lasted forever, longer than it ever shd. for heavens sake, proton keep using the same marketing strategy. first then gen2 , then some silly minor facelift with an added plastic bar at the bumper , or thermometer looking waja.. they've all used Teaser.. jz fcuking launch this damn thing once and for all.
YAHHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no need to cover lah… seen many times already!
sorry about that. of course i would like to show the whole thing but there are such things as embargos… which legally prevent us from revealing the full shots from the preview until our new prime minister launches it…

Paul, where do they launch? Can public come?
It looks big and quite tall at the back end .Hope it does not end up like an internet blind date …an angel online then a BikMama in the real world haha
TONITE..8PM…KL CONVENTION CENTRE..ALL PUBLIC R WELCOME
8PM..KL CONVENTION CENTER..ALL PUBLIC WELCOME
It should have followed original schedule. This delay solely because the new PM wants to launch it. Must follow his schedule laa… haiya.
Wow! Couldnt wait!

Typical M'sian, wants more for less, and then complain if he gets less for less. You really think you're gonna get all the features of the Exora for less? Take a look at the Perodua MPV and you'll see…
TV1 also got live telecast from KLCC tonight at 9.15PM. See this, no need to cover http://paultan.org/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=nj8u…
+ the rear looks ugly.
Well done Proton. A truly Malaysian Product, design and manufactured by Malaysians. Proud to be Malaysian. Cheers
Saw a trailer with 4 fully covered Exora in Puchong last nite. Looking forward for your write up Paul.
Overall exterior styyling can give thumbs up but only the rim design is kinda outdated to me. Why always bad (for me) rim design from P1 designer?
Anyway, hopefully overall will astonish us. Congratulation to P1.
finally… hope can see some price reduction when Najib launch this thing.. hmmm.. maybe not
My dear Proton..dont dissapoint us rakyat anymore. We have been longing for a quality product from you long enough already and we have been suffering from your blunders all these times. The stake is high…and make sure you hit it this time!
The launch will be tonite at 8.30pm at KL convention center…..will be launched by our new PM. Those at home can watch it live via TV1 starting from 9pm onwards. Those who wants to be at KLCC, u can't enter the room where they r launching, but there will be display units of the Exora outside (foyer) to be viewed by the public and there shud be lcd projection of whats happening inside to be viewed by the public outside. For those who wish to test drive, go to the nearest showroom (fast!!!) as many would wanna test drive. Test drives most probably will start tommorow….so go early and book ur slot.
Cheers!
Paul, are you will be there tonight? Tokmoh, are you coming too?
Yeah…I'm so happy…
We already knew that the design of the car will hit a lot of ppl attention.
The problem now is the 1.6L CPS engine… Can it move that car smoothly with full load? If i not mistaken only Auto will be sell for the first launch.. So if you want to buy this, advice is to get the manual version: save minyak + more power…

Rim designs are personal, that's why you see there are sooo many shops selling optional rims. If you noticed Ferrari have been using the 5 spoke rim design like forever, so it is 'outdated' by your definition.
just watch the launching ceremony @ tv1, 9.15pm..
It looks ok to me… I prefer this kind of rim compared to 'tornado' Satria Neo rim… Exora and Persona (earlier version) rims are more 'family' like.
there will be a live telecast at TV1 starting 9.15, will be launch by najib, tun will be there too!!

Hehe, sorry, I can't come. Got a coursework presentation to be done tomorrow -.- But I think I'll drop by a proton showroom tmr to check it out.
So it is going to be launched at night…… I bet NTV7 will do a live coverage tonight.

Every product launch by P1 always come with carnival like atmosphere with blessing of VVIP, after a few weeks, the dust will settle down ………
I hope its price below RM80k (RM60k-RM70k). If its above RM80k, better go for Kia Rondo, which has been getting good reviews overseas.

Base model is cost RM72k dude. You all know Malaysian like sensational news not fact news. So that's why now people don't think further in terms of politics. More to believe sensational news rather than for the sake of the country.

Yesterday, Proton's GM has been invited to RTM BizTalk (Live) 5.00pm. Off course what ever he said, make Exora look's better then others, in term of capacity, confirtability as well as the performance etc… he highlighted that he personally test drive this baby with others 6 engineers from KL to Ipoh and 1 round to Genting. Yes, the performance all good for him, but he empasied to test drive for satiscfaction. Also he also mention, he read the comments from blog/forum (not mention any, PT maybe hehehe)…. most of them worried on the perfromance. Again, he empasied to test drive before deciding. TQ
[quote comment="229784"]is there any live telecast?… which channel? why dont they launch it here in northern region, since the winner is from changloon…[/quote]
i hear all showrooms are open till late, and will unveil the mpv at the same time when the pm launches the car.

Yeah.. Finally it comes out officially. Sure lots of booking for test drive. Just watch via television only. Tomorrow can go to the showroom and i think many of Malaysian eager to take a look, touch, feel of this new baby.
Salam…
All this fuss over an MPV that is long overdue. We Malaysians really need to get a life.
to brooce: i think you're excited as much as the whole of Malaysia.
Yeah, it'll be a great ceremony…
Heard DSZ said yesterday in RTM1 about Proton n this Exora..
By the way, Perdana replacement model (tag team with Mitsubishi) will be available at the end of the next year!
Woohoo!
Saya yg duk kerja kat Japan ni rasa bangga dan kagum dgn pencapaian rakyat Malaysia.
Boleh tengok dari jauh jelah nampaknya…
i think sure many will go for exora… just 1 reason >> cheap
for those can't afford grandis, wish, stream, estima…
Typical malaysian mentality! Think that korean cars are unreliable!
Hello brader, do you have any statistics that shows the kia rondo breaks down often? (the new model, not the 1969 model!)
Just because the older Kia models were screwed up and the petrol consumption was high, doesn't mean that the newer models are the same! Check out the comments at autoblog, even the americans are impressed with the progress made by Kia,and thats in a very competitive market!
Alright since we are going to presume that the Kia Rondo is screwed up (based on the older models), then what about Proton? I have been driving a Waja for 5 years and the piece of shit has been giving me nothing but trouble!
But still I am able to keep an open mind, and give the newer models a chance! (the saga & persona is definitely an improvement).

You're right at one point but P1stock rim design still not represent most of motorist likes. Take Gen2 and Satria Neo first model stock rim's.

It definitley can boosts sales. The other makes nowadays has many good stock rim design that's why we often seeing proton owner changes their stock rim to other makes stock. P1 designer going to TMS, NYIAS, GMS, BMS, every year but could only comes with rims that inattractive. Please improve.

go to hell la proton… u r sure this proton exora cann good than honda ? toyota ? nissan ? this proton is for poor people own de
way to go proton!!!!!!….can give more bonus to ur staff, since the worked so hard for this new model….
By look of it, Perdana replacement will be clone of Mitsubishi Lancer. The good old days are back folks. Plenty of interchange items.
The mpv looks huge, maybe too big for the engine. When can we start booking for the manual version?
prime exora look like estima or alphard,saw yesterday when they enter klcc con.

i have the same idea as u.
last time [_______] got problem,
now [________] it's ok.
let see the new [________] performs.
[_______] <—-put any car u like here.
Based on earlier reviews, I think Exora will meet the requirements of most Malaysian.
When one wants to evaluate an MPV, one should not review it like a car. I own a Naza Ria since 2006 (I cancelled my Innova booking after test drived it – very bad road handling/floating – avanza is even worse – I have been into one) and would say that thus far it has fulfilled the reasons of why I bought it in the 1st place (reasonable handling, spacious, aircond, comfortable) and yet don't have to pay a bomb for it. In certain cases we can car pool instead of going into 2 cars.
I have also driven Estima (good handling & space), Citra (good handling but limited third row and luggage space), Unser (bad handling & uncomfortable seats) and the round shaped Nissan Serena – older model (handling similar to Innova).
Based on my friends' and relatives' feedback, Wish's and Stream's third row is not that comfortable for adults and also the issues of no blower/aircond for 2nd and 3rd rows.
Therefore based on earlier reviews, the following factors will be a plus point for Exora:
1) Price – lowest in its class for the facilities/gadgets/comfort offered
2) Space – third row can accomodate adults comfortably with acceptable luggage space (this is one of the main reasons why people bought an MPV – comfortable space for every one. If you want a compact MPV with limited space – I will tell you don't buy MPV at all – buy a car instead – better handling and fuel consumption)
3) Aircond blowers for 2nd and 3rd rows
4) Handling – good, car-liked, not floating – 3rd row passengers won't get dizzy
5) Availability of Service Centres nationwide
6) Spareparts – affordable & easy to find
7) Reasonable fuel consumption.
But Proton must be vigilant with the parts suppliers. Service centres also must be updated with the new technology and more supportive of Proton – no longer comments like "biasalah Proton" etc.
I sold my Wira Aeroback bought in 1997 to buy the Naza Ria MPV in 2006. It is always enjoyable travelling in comfort with your families especially long distance. Other than MPV mentioned above, I've driven Citroen, Toyota, Ford as well as Kancil & MyVi cars before and have been into various continental, Korean and Japanese cars
All the best with EXORA.
Paul, u were mentioned in the Utusan today
http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2009&a…
maybe i miss understood you comments… sorry… but then again… how many ppl r considering rim design when buying a vehicle?? 100? what kind of sale boost is that?? less complicated / expensive rim design means less cost, hence can reduce price… that is a factor of boosting sales…
most ppl change their rims once they bought their car…. btw i saw a lot of H, T, N cars owners changed their car's rims from a stock ones… does that mean their rims r also ugly?? but still a lot of ppl buy their cars…
the price stated by kiss is true…..adios…

Are u sure Vios engine not Avanza? Perodua MPV is not in the same category but let see what happen..
alot ppl stil think avanza 1.5 and vios using the same engine….avanza one is a lower output iron cast block than vios higher output aluminuim block…
this is becoming like myvi/savvy scenarios wer both cars got noting to do with each other diff class diff cars bt ppl stil wanted to compare them as competitors….
[quote comment="229866"]maybe i miss understood you comments… sorry… but then again… how many ppl r considering rim design when buying a vehicle?? 100? what kind of sale boost is that?? less complicated / expensive rim design means less cost, hence can reduce price… that is a factor of boosting sales…
most ppl change their rims once they bought their car…. btw i saw a lot of H, T, N cars owners changed their car's rims from a stock ones… does that mean their rims r also ugly?? but still a lot of ppl buy their cars…[/quote]
Aiyo, dare to comment again. Did i mention need complicated design in my posting? Do the other makes design complicated? If it so it still can be ammortize to part cost that sure can be retain cheap due to increase sales volume because of good looking rim!! This is the correct calculation where maker can have good looking rim without jeopardising vehicle price!! if think like you it only can boost sport rim shop sales only. Err.. maybe you a shop rim owner. Shop owner always think like what you're thinking from my homework.
How many T,H,N owner change their rim? most? for your information T,H and N comes with VSA system and the warranty will be void if they change the wheel. So where is most here? Common la be resourceful and analytical. Don't talk like tin kosong. So now you're neckname have suited your or not?
i tot 72+ is reasonable enuff but 67+ for an auto this is a steal. and i can only speculate that the mt will pawn the passo sette wannabe. initially they didnt want the price to be so close to waja as it will eat up the waja sale but then waja is diff class altogether (sale is fast dwindling) and they are coming up wit the replacement in the near future and might be positioned above the exora as they will rebdge the lancer
could it be?
[quote comment="229830"]Typical malaysian mentality! Think that korean cars are unreliable!
Hello brader, do you have any statistics that shows the kia rondo breaks down often? (the new model, not the 1969 model!)
Just because the older Kia models were screwed up and the petrol consumption was high, doesn't mean that the newer models are the same! Check out the comments at autoblog, even the americans are impressed with the progress made by Kia,and thats in a very competitive market!
Alright since we are going to presume that the Kia Rondo is screwed up (based on the older models), then what about Proton? I have been driving a Waja for 5 years and the piece of shit has been giving me nothing but trouble!
But still I am able to keep an open mind, and give the newer models a chance! (the saga & persona is definitely an improvement).
[quote comment="229802"][quote comment="229792"]I hope its price below RM80k (RM60k-RM70k). If its above RM80k, better go for Kia Rondo, which has been getting good reviews overseas.[/quote]
ya ya..
once your Kia broke.. then you know la..[/quote][/quote]
same goes to proton maa..
yes, maybe u're rite..but rondo interior make me sick..control panel dash board dia macam seakan-akan muka raksasa dalam cerita Gaban..huduh..huhuhuh

I think lot's of service & assc shop owner have stock in they shop with lot's of sport rims with selective design and brand. I have send my accord last week for regular service to my regular service shop. You all know what, The towkey have stock the rims from 17inc to 20inc to match the Exora. The towkey said that, each time all new car model roll out to the road most the owner will came to get new set. Even the stock rim can trade to new one. intersting right.

my point is… how many ppl is buying/ not buying car based on rim design?? prettier rims are usually complicated/ sporty rims type.. and those rims are much more expensive to develope…. higher to cost to develop means higher cost to be ammortize… hence increase in car price…
btw i have seen a lot.. read again A LOT of those T, H and N cars with different rims than the stock ones… heck even newly registered ones…
yehaa…saw the car already…managed to ask the saleman to open half of the cover…the dashboard dont have the soft touch….but overall ok la…

Base model is cost RM72k dude. You all know Malaysian like sensational news not fact news. So that's why now people don't think further in terms of politics. More to believe sensational news rather than for the sake of the country.
[quote comment="229771"]We already knew that the design of the car will hit a lot of ppl attention.
The problem now is the 1.6L CPS engine… Can it move that car smoothly with full load? If i not mistaken only Auto will be sell for the first launch.. So if you want to buy this, advice is to get the manual version: save minyak + more power…[/quote]
I think even Nissan Grand Livina was available for 1.6, no VVT and HP and Torque figure lower than CPS engine but still lot's of people buying it.[/quote]
I hate ppl comparing it to N.Livina, N.Livina is lighter & have same torque figure as Proton CPS. The horsepower loss to it but still the torque is reach faster compare to CPS. Do you know what is power : weight ratio? Stupid guy! Go check Paul previos comparison between N.Livina, K. Rondo & P. Exora and you will know! Besides that N.Livina is cheaper if it is not tax like crazy around RM60-70k if check langkawi price.
so go buy at langkawilah. Much cheaper.
Been in KLConventionCentre early this morning and saw 2 or 3 huge boxes already placed at the public common area.. the Exoras should be inside all those boxes.
All the best, Proton.

Ya la. I also talk different point. i talk how many sales increase because of rim. So you or me talk different point? So far as i'm concern you were the first commented me? Am i right? so why you talk different topic?
Good rim doesn't necessary complicated design. I think P1 one is the most complicated rim!!. Take Gen2 and Neo as example! If you dare to invest expensive rim, wise people shall project it with increase of sales. That's why many makes can retain their car price even though the succesor have better accesories. So everytime new technology must sell more expensive?? Any makes like that? (except luxury class). Please do more homework.

If Exora has more appropriate engine for foreign market it easily beat the Innova (as taxi in Vietnam). Exora has 'upper hand' in many department only engine maybe can make new buyers hesitate. BTW kudos to Proton though l'm not really appreciated the mpv door panels. Even Persona door panels/arm rest look better and more proportionate.
God willing, Exora will be another Saga/Persona for Proton. Bravo Proton guys.

Em…r u sure u saw not the one tested or otw to some showroom? i heard tht the manual gearbox has problem. maybe u see is the auto gearbox.
good to hear from P1 new & first MPV. Good luck baby!
Most of the people loan 5 years for car financing and myself too for my first P1 car, it brought me nothing much of serious repair after that, considered very lucky one. just wonder how many 5 years we could stay for to own a cars in our life? especially a good quality car (not dream car), after so many feedback i totally gave up national cars since i intended to own overseas brand as my second car , what else could do… work hard la.

Yup it will be launched in end of July together with IIMS (that is the plan) but some dealers already have opened bookings for the Exora. MPV sells well in Indonesia even the Honda Freed already has a number of bookings.
anytime now

If priced correctly it could be a hit in Indonesia depending on the marketing and aftersales. From what I know that one dealer already has around 40 orders for the Exora eventhough the Indonesian ppl haven't seen the car yet.[/quote]
Already 40 orders in Indonesia!! I thought over there, Exora will only be launched in July.[/quote]
Yes it will be launched together with IIMS and Proton Edar Indonesia is negotiating with Proton Malaysia to have a more competitive price. I spoke to the one of the dealers in Jakarta and they already opened bookings for the Exora and have around 40 bookings. Currently Protons are the cheapest alternatives from the Japanese and Koreans. Even the Jakarta Metro Police has purchased a new batch of Police Cars which consists of Mitsubshi Lancer 2.0 GT ( the Evo X is to expensive
) and Proton Personas.
First time I saw a Proton become a cop car in Indonesia and it looks nice
exora 100% malaysian made meh?last time my fren who is proton engineer said he went to korea to work on this exora
i am getting restless watching the launch at home with the long speeches and they could make it more fun with some nice animation on the screen. hiyo, the speech writer can some more write about the credit crisis … thank God, there was no of mention Kuznets cycle, Jugler wave, Kitchen cycle, and the Kontradiev cycle!
Wow… 0-100km/h 15.5second, max speed 165km.
I think they only revised the final gear ratio, if mat speed only 165km i think the rev meter should be high around 110km/h, estimate around 3000rpm? So i dont think it will be quite good in FC compare to others MPV on the market..
Besides that in the 15.5second is just estimated, so if you are full loaded should be even worst the time.
Still advice from my friend working in Proton… Wait for the manual version…
i just came back from showroom. Thumb up. The size and its interior look great if we compared with the price RM69K for the mline. Syabas proton. But the name should be more masculine.
PMbhas finished his speech. Now waiting for the launching at TV1
—-Wow… 0-100km/h 15.5second, max speed 165km.—
is this the actual tested speed, or simulated speed? and it the test really done with actual load, i.e seven passenger? Anyone can confirm this?
syed Zainal abidin delivered a very convincing speech.
anyhow I am proud.. this is not a copy paste and rename kinda vechicle
2 thumbs up
Omg, proton has a theme song for the exora!
the advert for it ..man..awesome…creative!!! salute!
p2 mpv better come out better than this or at least on par
congratulations to proton. keep up the good work. ya true, as a typical malaysian, i want a european handling, japanese styling, and at a very cheap price
. now the only problem remains is the bank interest rate. for some mysterious reasons, banks always charge a higher interest rate for proton products.
