UPDATE: Read our first impression Proton Exora Bold Test Drive Review!

The refreshed Proton Exora has been the most talked about car of late, with spyshots, unmasked units being transported and leaked brochures all out in the open. With this as background, Proton has finally released official details of the facelifted MPV, confirming much of the details we already know.

The long-awaited Campro Charge Fuel Efficiency (CFE) engine powers the Exora Bold Premium and the range-topping Exora Prime. This CFE engine puts out 138 hp at 5,000 rpm and 205 Nm of torque from 2,000 to 4,000 rpm from 1.6 litres. Paired to a CVT gearbox, top speed is 185 km/h and 0-100 km/h is done in 13.3 seconds. Claimed fuel consumption is 7.8 litres per 100 km.

As our eagle-eyed Anthony spotted, the CFE isn’t just a Campro with a turbo bolted on. The stroke of the engine has been shortened from 88 mm to 86 mm, resulting in a smaller displacement of 1,561 cc vs the Campro CPS’ 1,597 cc.

“Boosted with the more efficient 1.6L engine, customers will experience powerful performance which is comparable to a 2.0L engine, with much lower fuel consumption. The additional power kicks in to provide more pulling power when accelerating or overtaking. In short, it’s what you can aptly describe as a ‘pay-as-you-go’ engine, which gives you more ‘vroom’ for every litre of petrol used,” says Proton Group MD Datuk Seri Syed Zainal Abidin.

Besides the two CFE+CVT variants, the Exora is also being offered in Bold Executive trim (1.6L Campro CPS with manual or torque converter auto) and non-Bold Standard trim, which is only available as a manual.

Spec-wise, the Bold Premium CVT gets leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering, front fog lamps, rear spoiler, electric foldable wing mirrors, cruise control and reverse camera with rear view mirror LCD. The latter is similar to the system seen in the Kia Forte 6-Speed.

What then is the Exora Prime, you ask. The Prime is the highest spec Exora, sitting above the Bold range. It’s a six-seater with the centre row made up of two Captain Seats. On top of all the Bold Premium features, the Prime gets walnut finishing on the centre panel, gear panel bezel and air con vents (all these are in a sportier “liquid silver” finish in the Bold Premium), metallic beige door switch covers and inner door handles. Also included are head rest monitors and satellite navigation.

On the outside, the Prime is set apart by 16-inch gold-finished alloys and a new Absolute Brown colour. Take note that the featured images here are of the Bold Premium, NOT the Prime.

There will be a “Proton 4 U Day” from December 16-18 (this weekend) at all Proton sales outlets nationwide, with door gifts for those who test drive the Exora Bold. The Exora Prime however, will not be available for test drive, and can only be viewed at selected Crystal Showrooms in Juru (Penang), Plentong (Johor) and Mutiara Damansara (PJ).

Last but not least, prices. Proton has officially released a tentative OTR price list, where the 1.6 Standard MT retails for RM59,998, the Bold 1.6 Executive MT for RM70,998, the Bold 1.6 Executive AT for RM74,998 and the Bold 1.6 Premium CVT for RM79,998. The Exora Prime is priced at RM88,998.

        Exora CFE will provide a better “real world” fuel consumption compared to CPS. The figures at constant speed do not involve any acceleration or braking thus not representing the “real world” situation.

        In real world, you need to rev the CPS engine more in daily traffic to move the MPV due to lack of low end torque. The CPS system is designed to give more power at high rev so at low rev, the engine struggles to move the weight of the car. People tend to rev the CPS engine because of this and this hurts the fuel consumption.

        CFE on the other hand, addresses this issue with a very high torque right from 2000 RPM. Coupled with the CVT gearbox, the CFE engine will improve the fuel consumption greatly in daily usage where you are constantly accelerating and braking. If you know how to keep a constant low RPM, CVT will help a lot in term of fuel consumption compared to Exora CPS

            Every Exora CFE related post there will be someone who said that the engine will be a fuel guzzler but as an engineer who understand how engines work, I can not bear the misinformation written by someone else.

            The best technology so far is Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive but currently the system is not perfected yet. It is amazing to understand what they can do with the planetary gear system, if they perfected the system, the fuel saving will be higher than what they currently have.

            Further more, engine efficiency varies with load & RPM so the way you drive plays a big role in the consumption. If you read on the latest BMW 320d EfficientDynamics, BMW claims that you will get optimum consumption if you drive according to the fitted “Eco” indicator. This includes using proper throttle application, right timing for gear change, less braking & etc.

            I agree that the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive is the best technology so far. However, it is still far from perfect because that technology is pricey and it is not fail-safe either – when the HSD malfunctions, then surely die lah. The only fail-safe mechanism is when the Prius runs out of petrol, where the EV mode will still have enough juice to go to petrol station.

          • Actually I agree what you said, just that I can’t bear tat you c&p each post.

            I do not agree on Toyota’s system is the best. It’s all TurboDiesel, full electric for me (or hydrogen fuel based tech, but that seems far away). Electric motors are wonderful things, they offer near to 0 fuel consumption when they are idle and max torque from 0 rpm while the T system still needs to combine power from both engine and battery. Of coz price maybe the issue last time but now it is not anymore. Instead, they chose to milk it until it dries. I hope they move on to the next stage of full electric (even with range extender, which runs at realistic optimal scenario to generate the electricity) sooner or later.

            Ignoring Toyota’s discussion, P1 needs to bring the torque in at 1600rpm on the next revision. Hope it doesnt end up like the 308 Turbo Pug. (Which coincidentally, the boost starts at 2000rpm)

            C&P is alright, but not the until the stage that does not pin points to the questions or critics that you want to reply to. It annoys ppl, trust me, i m an engineer too. :)

            There is a reason why I said that HSD is the best system. The system is truly a “hybrid” system. If the system is perfected, it can change at will from a full internal combustion propulsion to a full electric propulsion just like a range extender.

            They can further improve the engine with efficient diesel technology or SkyActiv like technology and they can also upgrade the electric system with a better system. At the same time, they can also run the engine only at the optimum working range if they want to with the HSD system.

            If every single part of the system is optimized, the cost would be very high, that’s why they did not make everything perfect yet. HSD is a true combination of both internal combustion & electric propulsion.

            Further advancement in internal combustion technology is good but it still can’t recover back the energy lost during braking. Advancement in EV system is also good but EV still has the range & charging issues. Since HSD is a combination of both internal combustion & EV system, HSD will benefit from further advancement in both direction.

          hahaha……… what about Naza/Kia Citra/Caren and Citra II/Rondo 2.0 RM60K++ to RM90K++? And also some other brands and models fall within this category or price?
          It doesn’t matter what engine the engineers have designed, nothing is perfect and so does the engine. Is all about improving such as minimize the loses and maximize the output. There is reason why engines are paired with add on such as turbo, supercharger, manifold enhancement, varies of injection, etc and types of transmission, etc. And the lists goes on and on.
          Having Turbo or CVT to the engine has it pros and cons, so does others systems/add on. Nothing is perfect, is more of a trend, market, demand, improvement and etc.
          If an engineer is very experience, will said and think differently. Driving behavior is only part of it to help to minimize the fuel consumption. Fuel efficiency is all from the engine itself, and on what “type of vehicles” was applied. Everything has it limits. Turbo maybe a fuel guzzler depends on how it was applied. So it won’t be surprised that a lot of engineers see differently. That’s the reason many types of new engines were produced and usually with improvements.

          Most of the mechanical and automotive engineers do understand how an engine works. so why a frust? ahahaha………………….

        Perodua also produces RM90k car… NaughtyCar.
        Exora Prime is still cheaper than Nautica… RM88,998 vs RM89,900, about RM900 cheaper.
        and the NaughtyCar has been discontinued just after 1 year from launch here, because Toyota brought the REAL version wearing Toyota badge, Rush :)

          u so funny.

          nautical is made in japan. a real 4×4.

          rush is 7 seater. made in indon. hence the price difference.

          i just bought the most expensive proton 2.0P, so dont argue with me. i’m not fanboy or basher.

      This is just my opinion regard this new model.
      I believe the turbo is a bold on turbo(low power turbo < 0.4 bar). Just test drive. Got power.
      But the spec didn't write out the compression ration and turbo compression bar (even no bar meter), turbo's timer or computer. I didn't heart any valve sound. So I believe it is a bold on low power turbo.
      I believe the extra price is for CVT gear box and bold on turbo.
      But I not a car engineer or expert just a lay man opinion. Actually I prefer super charger (if the purpose is for improve oil consumption).

        This is a family MPV 7 seater man, why need boost meter and turbo timer? downsizing engines with turbos are to meet better emission and achieve flat torque curve from low rpm. Turbo timers are yesteryears tech. Nowadays radiator pump will continue to circulate coolant after engine is turned off if needed.

        For the sake of everyone’s safety, I hope no one goes and chip it up or bolt on a bigger turbo to increase the boost and drive around racing with evos and imprezas. Especially not with 6 other passengers on board.

        I am no engineer but I think ancient lorry never have any belt or chain to replace because they use timing gear. That does not means those lorry are more advanced than Avanza. AFAIK, the decision to use either gear or chain or belt has nothing to do with how modern is the engine but rather more to do with noise and vibration. If you don’t mind noise, use timing gear like those ancient lorry.

If someone who talked about tax protection & etc. bought a re-cond car, I hope they are aware that the actual price of the car is only 1/3 of the listed price, another 1/3 goes into import duty and the last 1/3 goes into the dealer’s pocket.

      Exora Bold has 138 hp and 205 Nm. 5008 has an 18 hp with 240 Nm. It might sounds close enough but the 5008 also comes with 6 airbags (which I believe the Exora has lesser), heads-up display, Hill Start Assist, traction control, and the awesome bit, a panaromic roof. On top of that, it has 5-star EURO NCAP rating, advanced on-board computer on its multi-function display, and being European, an excellent continental ride. Really, you are comparing a donkey and a horse here. Too different.

      I’m not discrediting Proton here. I must say I’m impressed that Proton finally has a turbocharged engine fitted in their car. I hope Perodua would follow suit, which I think they won’t.

          There is a reason why Toyota/Daihatsu is not selling the cars under their own brand but under Perodua brand instead and the reason is not to get a lower tax.

          Since they already own the P2 facilities, they also can build the cars under they own brand here. Under NAP, eventhough the brand is not P1 or P2, they will still get a lower tax if the production is done locally, however the local production must be greater than just a CKD operation.

      mate, there’s are many mpvs’ around which from rm60k++ to rm100k++. So what is your usage of the mpv? daily use, weekend use, long distance travel, etc? Own a mpv to suit ur lifestyle most. Fuel consumption, repair and regular maintenance, resale value, loan&interest, warranties, etc must be consider.
      Most important, own a mpv which give the least problem and least maintenance cost as well as time. Time which you can’t have it back. the best mpv has to be at your convenient.

    More Power. More Style. Space is a bonus.

    5 star – using good and correct language (all english).
    5 star – with turbo power
    5 star – interior upgraded and especially exterior really looks BOLD
    5 star – space is a bonus as Proton stated.

    Myvi lagi best and Myvi lagi power lagi best

    no need to say how many stars. but….

    1. using mix languages is a thumb down.
    2. lagi power lagi best. talk like a racer. bigger engines is always better.
    3. exterior looks ALIKE like 1st generation Myvi and just like 1st saga facelifted to
    Iswara. the platform and chassis still consider same.
    4. space is not a bonus because luggage space even smaller than old myvi.

    Sorry, just my personal opinion.

  • My personal opinion (my deciding factor whether to buy or not):

    Exterior:
    1. Exterior not bad. Quite like it! Except the smiling grille (but that’s just me).

    Interior:
    1. Look at that dashboard. LOOK AT IT. That looks so pale, so old, so ugly. Looks really boring. It seems like they only care for the essential parts of the car (AC, audio, etc) but not the looks of it. Did i mentioned the word ugly? Oh God that is so 2000. And ugly.
    2. Oh God the logo at the steering wheel is just a SCULPTED PLASTIC??? Why can’t they do it like other brands of cars? Put the ‘real’ logo ie the exterior logo, with the same material, with the exact same thing instead! God that is really, really ugly and stupid. That’s one of the things that i will put my eyes on whenever i’m in the car u know! And i want to look at the nice ‘real’ logo of Proton when i’m driving one. Not just sculpted plastic -____-

    Well until they fix these 2 interior problems, only then i will consider buying it (i’m not flaming or hating Proton, just hope that they will do better and thinking in common sense). Peace.

    With this improvement, why banks still offer higher car loan interest rates for Proton?

    Either the banks still not convinced with Proton quality or still think most Proton buyers are categorised high-risk defaulters?

    Seriously this stupid discrimination by banks must stop.

    So what a rich towkey wife(low-risk borrower la…) wanna buy Proton, then the bank lower the interest rates?

    But if honest salaryman never miss loan repayment, shouldn’t he deserve zero interest when buying Toyota?

    How about those criminal, gangsters wife, siblings, goons these crooks must be slapped with 50 percent loan rates served them right!

    It’s enough with unfair NAP car prices, no need the banks to be prejudice on car brands and certain types of people anymore.

    Local car brands should get lower car loan rates(not higher) to offset the crazy taxes duties.

    Great stuffs with what Proton done now but the banks, haihhh, seems like all these Proton improvements doesn’t lower down the loan rates.

      I bought a foreign-brand car in 2007 and still paying for it (2.48% for 8 years). So far so good, never missed a payment with Public Bank.

      So if I want to buy an additional car such as the Exora Bold now (of course once I submit the documents the banks would know I can definitely afford it), don’t you think I deserve a low interest rate as well?

      Most of the time, century sprints quoted by car makers are slightly inaccurate. Usually you can achieve slightly better 0-100km/h timing in real world conditions. 13.3 seconds looks slow on paper, but you must also consider how heavy the vehicle is, especially the range topper with all the gadgets and electronics included.

    If our car duty tax structure based on engine emission and fuel efficiency test (rather than flat rate engine capacity), Exora would be way cheaper than it is now.

    Below 1800cc said if not mistaken MITI charged zero percent import duty, excise duty 30 percent and sales tax 10 percent.

    Now if that excise duty based on emission and efficiency tests (maybe conducted by JPJ), Exora easily score lowest duty rate among all other MPVs around.

    In U.S. the NHTSA put CAFE sticker to indicate fuel consumption and efficiency rates in each new car and it’s mandatory by law.

    Basically not only a legal reference for car buyers but for banks, insurance companies to fix their rates based on these informations just how clean and effcient that car is.

    The better, cleaner, efficient the car the more prospect for more new purchase and lower road tax, insurance premiums etc.

    Logically, the best car deserve the best price. Exora price should be just fine if using new car duty system. I speculate cheaper RM10K-20K than current price now!

From faulty absorber, replacement of the entire dashboard meter, faulty power steering system to recently major engine oil leak (hv to do top overhaul). My aircond fan is possessed (i.e turn on by itself, don’t want to shut down despite the dial is on off) and that problem hv been plaguing me since i bought the car until now. Hv already complained many times to SC whilst under warranty until now not fixed. anyway, i have face the fact that the aircond fan can never be fixed and i lived with it………so you are so lucky bro and i got a lemon car :(

    4pieces of wooden trim doesn’t make Prime like a real PRIME….All black door trim/garnish (yes, with some chromed parts) with all black leather seat will make a real feel of driving a luxury cars/MPVs…
    Oh yes, the red parts on leather seat make Exora Prime looks like a racing mpv….
    From the outside there is almost no different between CFE n Prime lineup, the only different i could noticed just a chromed ring on the fog lamp….

    But average, this new line of Exora is something i can be proud of…. 1st MALAYSIAN CARS WITH FORCED INDUCTION MAAA!!!

            I owned manual BLM 1.6 and with about 300kg load, my car can still go uphill at 5th gear at 80km\h. I’ve tested his car Neo Manual 1.6 and it’s difficult to catchup with the power and I have to ramp up the engine to get to the power to go through uphill.

            I’m comparing the same Campro 1.6 but the only difference is My BLM uses IAFM with 4 direct coil hance Neo using non-IAFM non-CPS with twin sharing plug coil. (This engine is only fitted on NEO 1.6 B-line)

            neo_77 and my Nephew are among the unlucky person to get the problematic unit. But the biggest problem is with Proton SC personnel who is not professional enough to help Proton Car Owners to overcome thier problems. This is the nightmare that most owner have when dealing with Proton.

            Like what I said before, when you have a problem with you car, it can be fixed either by Proton or Ah beng shop. When it comes to attitude, I’ve come accross the stupidest Proton Chief Mechanic at COE Shah Alam who don’t know how to ease car owner but making them Angrier with lame excuses WITHOUT even look into the real problem.

        Relax guys, this is my own experience driving my neo. Service wise memang x pernah miss hantar kat proton, so don’t make silly and blunt judgment. I’ve read a lot about neo and the engine with all the numbers, specs, calculation etc, but it is meaningless to me sebab my neo campro engine memang xde power at low RPM. What’s the point of torque kicking in at high RPM? The car is only good speeding on highways, i’m not a racer nak bawak 150kph and above. What the engine lacks is torque at low RPM to negotiate city driving i.e accelerating from stop at traffic light, entering a roundabout, overtaking, climb up hill etc….. My car xde power unless i slam the pedal and let it roar until 4000k rpm, baru rasa torque kicks in. Xde maknanya if while i am waiting at the roundabout and see an opportunity to enter, then my car terkial-kial nak gerak sebab xde torque. Silap hari bulah kena slam dari belakang. No doubt the car have great cornering but city driving is very dissapointing most of the time. Terkial-kial……Thats what i meant by cannot catchup with the other cars……..Anyway, i’m scrapping the car soon and getting a new car, but not a campro engine car, not a proton.

            I’m not sure with that. My uncle drives an Exora with campro cps, he says the car have no power. Small engine on a big body. My uncle said exora should have a 1.8L powerplant instead. I’m quiet surprise because my impression is that cps is better than the ori engine (that’s what i hv been reading on forums, blogs etc…) So whats the point with all this IAFM systems, cps, better spec, so called improvement and so on, when at the end of the day is how you feel when you drive the car.

            They put CPS in place of the original Campro in Neo because the original Campro has the torque dip issue. They also did the same thing with Gen.2. For Persona, they put IAFM instead but still the purpose is to eliminate the torque dip in the original Campro.

            Exora on the other hand is a big car but the CPS is the most powerful engine they have at that time so they have no other choice. They know the engine is too small for the MPV so that is why they develop the CFE and put into Exora now.

      Bro, when i’m driving by neo and my wife is driving her kelisa in the city, she’s always a few cars in front of me after the traffic light turn from red to green. That means her kelisa accelerate faster than me. in order for me to catch up, i have to press my pedal harder, getting RPM more that 3000K, my engine roars like hell then my car slowly creeping to her. My petrol become lesser very quickly. That’s what i mean by not able to catch up.

      The CFE compression ratio is 9.5:1 and the max boost pressure is 0.7 bar. No intercooler for this CFE engine. That’s why the power increase is obviously smaller than those aftermarket turbos which got intercooler and higher boost pressure, and yet the performance is already better than standard 1.8L engines with the tourque higher than 2.0L engines.

          Really? If what you say is true, then it’s a little bit disappointing for me because if CFE has an intercooler then more horsepower should be able to be tapped from CFE. The ah beng-made turbo Exora normally can get somewhere around 150 bhp depends on the setup. Twincharger can be a lot crazier, because the figure around 150 bhp can be easily made by a 1.4L engine (plus turbocharger and supercharger).

    engine proton, engine.

    this over reliant on campro must stop sooner

    this cfe is a factory turbocharge job. and we all know outside oso can do tcharge
    but of course factory fitted tcharge is bounded with warranties so it must be good.

    so proton comes good and pak syed walked his talk about forced inductions, more modern appealing models
    i hope u people can be more thankful and appreciate what proton is doing and please no more mindless bashing
    kudos pak syed and the team

    the only constructive comments wud be the interior and please no more than 2-3 variants of the facelifted exora
    the work for next edition exora must start now. satiria neo replacement start now.

  • this cfe has vvt on intake side and its euro 4 n 5 compliant. On paper,it is not fast, but if u do a non quantitative comparison on acceleration between myvi lg POWER lg BEST 1.5 auto on real life, u will know the result. So those driving 1.5 auto myvi, eventhough it has extreme name, dont cucuk2 cfe exora, not only because of dangering lives, but also dangering urself being smoke by nearly 1.5 tonne mpv :-)..for manual myvi LPLB se@extreme, u can try out,but remember,if u cannot shift fast enough, u will also be smoke by this gabak mpv coz this gabak mpv comes with cvt(no shifting required), but if exora bold owner shift from D mode to L mode, be prepared to be smoked by them :-).
    Pug 5008 is a better mpv, no doubt about it. The only thing i doubt diffrent info on fc n performance of msian spec 5008 with uk specs.
    In uk, basic spec 120 hp na vti (WITHOUT rear pwr window n only solid white color, manual 5 speed) cost u on the road mrrp price 18145 pound@rm89641, fc 9.5L/100km urban, mixed 7L/100km, century sprint 12.3 scnd. For thp 156 (solid white,manual 6 speed,WITH rear pwr window) cost u 20645 pound@rm101991, fc 9.9L/100km urban, mixed 7.3L/100km, century sprint 9.7 scnd.
    The best part,if want to change to metalic paint, u need to add 440p pound@rm2174. If not,everybody buy 5008 have to bear have only 1 color that is white.
    The fc,century sprint was done by manual cog, not auto as we get here in malaysia, so basically a bit slower in century sprint n a little high in fc. If u read the reviews in uk, the published fc really hard to achieve, really need to add 0.5L to 1 L to figure given. The price is without exorbitant tax in malaysia.
    So, basically, i think bold for 79k price n prime for 88k (with heavy tax even for national car) is actually cheaper than pug 5008 that doubt as whatcar best mpv 2010.
    If make comparison in term of price, exora bold premier still cheaper (interm of price versus equipment) compare to 5008, but nevertheless,5008, still one of the best mpv out there with the price tag given.
    Now, for 3008,i keep it short. By the way,actually interm of dimension,exora sits in between of 3008 n 5008.
    Being smaller, thp156 3008 cost rm97084, still one color white, no rear pwr windows. But still far better standard safety equipments minus many accessories. Fc the same as 5008, sprint better than 5008. Manual cog, not as auto in malaysia..
    Still not added the insurance yet, all prices without insurance n little tax.
    So,conclusion, exora bold premium n prime is not bad at all in term of performance, fc, price n equipment. They do a commendable job. Yup,it is still far if compare with one of the best mpv on the world such 3008@5008, but not that far. Atleast, it is on par or better than any japanese mpv in the same price tag, same segment out there n in malaysia. Remember, exora already has been named as best mpv in thailand n indonesia beating all the odd n japans counterpart, now its time for bold to shines n leave them a little bit futher than before.

      By the same link above,

      5008 – Official combined fuel economy figures give a low of 38.7mpg and a high of 57.7mpg. The lowest Co2 is 125g/km

      Another link,

      http://www.autocar.co.uk/www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/FirstDrives/Peugeot-5008-2.0-HDi-150-Sport/243879/

      5008 Specs & equipments

      All models will get seven seats, and the basic spec will include ESP stability control, an electric parking brake with ‘hill hold’, low rolling resistance tyres (on 16in to 18in wheels) and air conditioning.

      There are five power options: two are 1.6-litre petrol engines (120bhp with a five-speed gearbox and a 150bhp turbo with a six-speed).

      Three are diesels: a 1.6-litre, 110bhp HDi with either six-speed manual or six-speed clutchless semi-autos; and a 2.0-litre turbodiesel with either 150 or 163bhp,

      And the mother of all lies by this mad cybertrooper is: –

      FALSE
      “By the way,actually interm of dimension,exora sits in between of 3008 n 5008.”

      FACTS

      3008 – Its overall length of 4.365 metres and wheelbase of 2.613m
      5008 – Its overall length of 4.5 metres and wheelbase of 2.73m
      Exora – overall length is 4,592 mm and wheelbase of 2,730 mm

      Hello, Mr. Mad, what else you want to craps and BS?

The other colors are avalable but its an option n u have to pay more than rm 2k to have that. Read, read n read. There are many options available, i just take the sample of petrol engine coz exora bold using petrol engine, why need to compare with diesel option?
        The figure L/100km also stated in the brochure, dont use mpg since in msia we use L/100km.
        I never mentioned exora bold on par with pug 3008/5008, read carefully, i mentioned exora is still far behind it.
        R u saying 6 speed auto is better than cvt? If u caunted power loss of an auto around 15 to 20 percent due to torque converter n shifting, cvt is better option cause the power loss is nearly as manual n no@power loss causes by shifting.
        I only compare exora bold with its class, i never mentioned wish@stream, u can google urself which japs exora is in when they tested it in thailand n even indonesia.
        U r kind of people that lazy to read, pug sell product based on options, not everything is standard, and they have package also, from access, active, sr, allure n etc. Each have diff accessories, diff options. Only certain are common n price also diff.
        There are alot of options for u to choose and all come with price.

          Who don’t read your lips, you conduct “selective comparison” for a reason best known to you, in which it is apple and orange comparison at best. And try to justify this jaguh kampong product is a “good buy”!

          “When i said exora sits between 3008 n 5008 in size, have u look at its overall dimension, its including length, width, height n wheelbase”- Mat

          Length : 3008 (4,365 mm), Exora (4,592 mm), 5008 (4,529 mm)
          Width : 3008 (1,837 mm), Exora (1,809 mm), 5008 (1,837 mm)
          Height : 3008 (1,639 mm), Exora (1,691 mm), 5008 (1,639 mm)
          W/base: 3008 (2,613 mm), Exora (2,730 mm), 5008 (2,728 mm)

          OK, add one more variable,

          Kerb weight: : 3008 (1,425 kg), Exora (1,400 kg), 5008 (1,531 kg)

          Based on the above info, non of the dimension shown Exora is sits in between 3008 and 5008, either Exora are less than both (Width), more than both (Length, W/base & Height). Even the kerb weight of Exora is less than both!

          Enough said, as you said “READ & READ”, hei “Mahaguru Mat yang amat arif dan paling pandai”, jangan malas membaca lor …. LOL ……… you go and figure out how to justify your statement.

          Just to give you some tips, the best way to categorize them is by segmentation. All this 3 models are under C-segment, and considered as “compact MPV”, “small MPV), or the like, as may be published in the manufacturer website (as the case maybe). The “less/more than few mm” in dimension(s) doesn’t make them bigger/smaller as it is still fall within same segment.

        Expat. VN,

        “The best part,if want to change to metalic paint, u need to add 440p pound@rm2174. If not,everybody buy 5008 have to bear have only 1 color that is white.” _says Mat .

        “Where is the proof or provide evident that UK 5008 only has white colour?..bla..bla..bla crap stuff”_ says Expat. VN.

        Mat wants us to know that white is std color & u have to pay more for other than white.

        Expat. VN misunderstood?

        to Expat. VN,

          “Mat wants us to know that white is std color & u have to pay more for other than white.” – farghmee

          Still want to argue until the cow come home! ok to be fair to all parties, 3008 and 5008 solid colour for “White” (general term) is not accurate, but is “Bianca White” (specific term) is more accurate. To get metallic colours for 5008 (Nera Black, Aluminium Vapor Grey, Shark Grey, Egyptian Blue, Babylon Red and Hickory), the buyer has to pay extra GBP 440.

          This is uk presentation which in our Malaysian context is just divided into metallic and non-metallic colours, and come together with the price different.

          To say that “white is standard colour”???? Where do you get from? Plug from the sky r farting from your mouth! Peugeot never said “white” is standard colour in their website, but refer to “solid colours” and “metallic colours” + GBP 440 only.

          Don’t twist my word and misrepresent Mat’s sentence meaning! Try to be smart, but not so smart after all!

          So throw back to you, Farghmee, swallow your own bitter medicine:

    Generally the exterior looks updated.The small stuff that should be further trimmed are the wind screen wiper which prefer to install latest ‘frameless’ type instead of cheaper feel of frame type wiper. Also, turbo version should come with bi-exhaust pipe..
    As for interior design, the matching of Prime version really feels outdated as this should come with titanium or leather feel of dashboard trimming. The wooden make so cheap of feeling. Personally think that the Bold version feel comfortable. Yet, the logo still insist to put low class plastic where should replace by actual logo to enhance the classy feel. Furthermore, auto climate control in place rather than manual control..
    Talking on the power mill, just wana understand more the modification can’t benchmark to PSA Price 1.6T or VW 1.4TSI range in order to really give this rivals a compete…

      I recall someone mention about the comparison between CFE with Pug Prince engine (the 156bhp, 240Nm) but I cannot find it again (my bad). so for the purpose of knowledge for all, I read a bit. I found out that the Pug stroke is 77 x 85.8mm (hence the 1598cc), compared to CFE 76 x 86 (hence 1561cc). Perhaps (this is big perhaps, i know), CFE maintain campro CPS bore stroke and the 1597cc, it may achieve what the Prince produce. As for now, i’m still waiting for the ouput of the chat between Anthony Lim and Proton engineers to know why they made the decision to shortened. Anthony, hope you reading this? ;-)

        Actually it is to lower the compression ratio so that the CFE engine will be less prone of knocking. Higher density of oxygen in force-aspirated engines means more tendency of knocking, so the compression ratio must be lowered to avoid knocking.

      no big deal if a turbo engine got no intercooler. intercooler is used to cool down the intake air, thus improving the volumetric efficiency in cylinder because lower temp air is much denser that hot air. so the output per cycle is much better.and it may prevent predetonation too.

    It is very interesting that Proton releasing this version and somehow giving us the impression that proton themselves admit that the current exora is underpowered. It is like creating a working but buggy software that is not optimize and later down the road releasing new patches to solve the issues. Exora should have been like this “bold” model in the first place or fit in with a mitsu engine 1.8/2.0 and I would said it would sell like hot cakes. With Mitsu engine as the power plant, definitely catching my attention as a family man who couldn’t afford a 100K++ MPV :)

      if u maintain your engine, shouldn’t be a problem. the BOT is not produce by proton. if not mistaken, it’s by borg-werner, so if you maintain your car regularly, no problem. the turbo itself, depend on the pressure bar. if put too high (eg. 1 bar) and always open, of course la your maintenance will be higher. if less than that (say, 0.5 bar), shouldn’t be as high cost as the 1 bar.

        Yes, the turbo-charger unit could be a reputable foreign make, but the engine, exhaust system, ECU, etc may not be.

        Case scenario: add a turbo-charger, the engine runs at higher pressure + temperature. Being a Proton, at the end of day, everything else kaput except the turbo-charger from (Borg-Warner?) …

      Turbo charger lifespan for a Proton?

      I fear the turbo-charger in a Proton may blow in 1/2 year, or 5,000km. Whichever come first.

      Come on, on average 2 generations of Malaysians per household had been cheated by Proton. My dad had driven two models – a Saga 1.3 and a Wira 1.5. Myself a Wira 1.5.

      All of the above had higher cases of problems per year compared to equivalent foreign models. I don’t even remember now how many times I’ve had to change the powered window brackets for the front left and right doors.

      A turbo charger in a Proton? You have to be very brave or full of money (and time) to buy one.

      High maintenance and reliability issues? Perhaps this is the reason the Jap car makers and Koreans have yet to mass market their cars with turbo-chargers.

      My view, go for the proven car makes i.e. Volkswagen; Ford; Peugeot if you want a turbo-charged car. If you’re keen to go for the Proton CFE, at least awhile to see if there are any reliability issues faced by the frontline / first batch of buyers.

        Borg Warner turbo charger yes, but other components may be local i.e. engine, cooling system, exhaust system, etc.

        End of day, everything else may kaput except the turbo charger from B-W. Example: overheated engine block due to inefficient / low reliability cooling mechanism. Or the engine could not stand the extra combustion pressure and blow some pistons.

        It’s a matter of trust – I don’t trust the Proton brand anymore. 20+ years since 1980s, and still could not stand on own feet without government protection. And still producing non-par products.

            To all the champions of Proton, please put your money where your mouth is – I hope all of you place bookings for it, and prove us skeptics wrong that this 20+ yrs old company, who has so much trouble keeping simple components from constantly failing i.e. powered windows, could produce reliable forced induction motor vehicles.

            I’d gladly sell my foreign made turbo-charged car and follow suit in getting the CFE if it’s proven reliable and durable.

    Overall view, Proton done a good job, but it has to do better to catch up with its competitors. Right now it’s 1 generation lagging behind its competitor. in terms of technology, styling, safety and engineering. Meaning what Proton just released today, its competitors already have them 5 years ago.

    Good job. Proton! However, after looking at Exora Prime from the photos, I think that Proton should just launch a single variant rather than launching both Bold and Prime. I’m sure many would just go for the Bold-variant.

    Hi all,

    Just return from test drive Exora Bold Premium 1.6 CVT in Senawang Proton.
    Been looking for MPV but i think I have found what I want.
    My family own Waja (Mitsu AT & Mitsu MT), Gen2 CPS MT and Myvi 1.3 SEi. I have test driven Exora MC, Freed, Grandis, Grand Livina 1.8 and Alza. Didnt consider Innova bcoz previous experience (nauseated and nearly vomitted after lunch and only sit in the 2nd row.. very bouncy even at 60-80kmh). Lastly decided after test drive the above MPVs, I set my budget <RM100k… so Grandis and Freed is out.

    So I test driven the new Bold Premium. Will stated each point vs the old Exora MC

    1: Looks: its subjective but for me much better than Exora MC especially the rear lights (brownish tint casing in Bold- looks better in gold colour compared white)
    2. Leather seats: now ALL leather. No more suede at the side of the seat. Good for family with small kids like me.
    3. Stated in the brochure electric folded mirror- forget to test this today
    4. Both front seats have arm rest
    5. Tyre is 205/55/R16… better compared to the previous 195/65/15
    6. Engine:.. In a nutshell… Far better than my Gen2 CPS (which Exora MC also have).
    Got 2 modes.. Normal D and SAT D. I think SAT is a sport mode. Got switch at the gear console.
    Very smooth gear change. SAT is even smoother. up and down gear no jerking.
    Going uphill behind the Senawang Proton (not like cameron/genting) from stop at the trafic light… initially rpm goes up to 4k then it settle down below 2.5k rpm. on flat road, gear change happened at around 2k rpm (80kmh). Better than the underpowered CPS 1.6 which revv up to 6k rpm at the same spot when i test drive exora mc one month ago.
    7. Dashboard is better. finishing details much better. colour combination is better. all this is comparing with the exora mc.
    8. Embedded LCD at the rear view mirror… it will appear if Reverse only. Got 2 lines. Green and Yellow inner line. Tested Reverse parking in front of the old exora test drive until the yellow line.. still can open the boot safely. even a large tesco trolley can pass thru.

    The rest will be the same as the old MC. only additional of rm3k from CPS to CVT/CFE + accessories. The test drive unit is only 200km on the odometer this morning.

    Thats all that I can share today. Really happy especially with the new CFE engine with CVT gearbox.

      Test drove too. More responsive than the non turbo version.

      Just discovered that they have a yellow substance thing in a casing at the lower front end of the body below the radiator before the engine. When collision occurs it expands once contact with the radiator water and form a cushion of spongelike stuff that absorb the impact. I never knew about this before and suprisingly they said it was there on the older model too.

    I prefer a stress free driving. I use Honda Accord and Toyota Camry as example. While both have their pros and cons, I much prefer the Camry because it’s so easy and stress free to drive. I don’t appreciate the more exciting driving experience of Accord.

    Now I have driven the earlier Auto Exora and the No.1 thing I hated is the engine. It’s so noisy and stressed that I too felt the stress. So much so that I wanted to puke. So how’s this new CVT turbo charged Exora?

    • Nurman on Dec 16, 2011 at 7:05 pm

      give it a try… the old exora rev high rpm.. similar to my gen2 cps… but this exora bold… the needle lingers around 1.5k-2.5k once u already move the car from stand still. even at 80kmh the rpm is about 2k.

      i agree camry and accord are damn good but they r in the class of their own and damn expensive. furthermore exora is an MPV with 7 seater while accord and camry are luxury sedans with 5 seater. apple vs orange.

      Just give it a test drive. it is quieter than the old exora cps. i like the lcd+rear view mirror!

    It’s funny how Protongkat always rely on certain group of idiots for sales knowing it’s crap, faulty, worthless and still keep on buying it.

    Perhaps in economics theory it’s the imperfect elasticity – supply crap for fools. Fools got pulled by their sheer stupidity.

    And how do you tap this car buyer category? That’s right: Keep on selling them with bad products! Amazing how happy they’re buying craps!

    what a crap car! 1.6 turbo and yet it takes 13.3 secs to hit 100km/h?! the VW Cross Touran with 1.4 TSI engine does it in under 10 secs and returns better economy. The Touran has more torque and more power as well.
    I wont be surprised if the stupid CVT gearbox will die within 3 years. CVT gearboxes are not durable.
    people will argue about the price but given a level playing ground the price of the Touran in Europe will be a higher than Exora. but in such a level playing field market, the Touran would still be a better buy given all the specifications and the NCAP 5 star crash rating.
    proton still cannot build a decent car.. all crap

      Prime the wood finish is not that bad actually, unlike the picture. U need to see it on your own and see.

      I love the captain seat on Prime, wish it has the option for Bold.
      Booked Prime but still find Bold finishing is prettier.

      The captain seat doesn’t really allow u to walk through easily coz of the armrest. Definitely not for adults to walk through but there’s a nice gap for u to chit chat with the 3rd row

    1. look depend personal. i personally think internal look ok. notthing to shout about
    2. reverse lcd at rear view mirror. quite usefull
    3. power for this car when use normal D more more powerful. when switch on CVT. its too smooth and sometimes i feel its not as powerful as i need it to be. going up hill in D more more responsive.
    4. fetching 4 adult i can say when press pedal and the car move without any big effort of need to rev engine
    5. NVH not so great. can hear engine sound from cabin quite loud when high rev the car go up hill

    over all i think for RM80K quite worth to buy. will be in my shortlisted

    Believe it is a bold on turbo. No valve sound, no bar meter.
    The spec didn’t write out compression ration. I believe it is a low power turbo.
    Just drive test…got power and smooth. But just worry how long the engine can stand (if it is a bold on turbo)?

      Boss, do you know what is bolt on turbo or not ? And it is bolt-on, not BOLD…..
      bolt-on turbo kits normally will have the water,oil temperature gauges and a BOV (blow off valve). If the turbo kits comes with CBV (compressor bypass valve)… there is no pss pss sound, my fren.

      What it having in CFE I believe is low pressure which no need to monitor the temperature on the oil and radiator water. And that campro is running hot on NA mode, so they bring down a bit power output from that campro to compensate the turbo kits so that it wont overheats easily.

      I believe campro does not have displacement more than 1.6 litres is also because of the heat issue.. please correct me if I am miss-quoted it.

    Well done proton.

    I’d been waiting for this for years until i got my self the new wish and happily driving it around.

    With the ‘new’ engine and equipment, i would say it better if proton revamp the overall look of Exora as a ‘new’ car. So that people will have a refresh looking car and at the same time giving an opportunity for proton engineers to really improve every shortcomings esp on the design. Just as what Mazda did to their Mazda5, a new look even it is only touted as a refreshed model over the previous 5.

    Exora is a good an solidly built car and with the ‘new’ heart it should be even better…congrat to Proton.

    Went to check out the Bold and Prime during lunch just now..overall a lot of improvement in the exora..
    Prime looks much-much better exora but the wood trim should go i think. It looks better in real than in the pics before but it shoudnt be there for long i guess..
    Bold is quite understament but the engine is the selling point. It hits 80km/h is just 1-2 seconds, quite impressive..
    If I’m of a big frame kind of person, I’d grab prime but I’m only a 5 footer so this mpv makes me like a school kid driving his father’s.
    All the best proton.

  • Driven BOLD CFE already! yay!
    what i can say is the whole new feeling comparable to previous one on CPS, seriously! The engine was so effortless and l was almost forgot that i drove an MPV. totally! plus, ive made a comparison between MC1 model also in the showroom, there’s slightly a better quality of the interior plastic material. The refinement summed up the Exora Bold really solid in a good package now and the engine NVH is better than 2.0p Inspira.

    Im 20 and I dont mind to choose Exora Bold as my first car to be pimped as my young styled MPV for me to hang with my friends :)

      Guys,

      Everyone entitled to your own opinion and statement. Allows mine,

      I’ve had tested various models of MPV before I settled for one particular japanese MPV (not JDM model). My tested MPVs include Exora CPS 1st batch ( Not E.Bold) and my finding on Exora were:

      1. The Exora brake equally to my japanese mpv or better

      2. Handling and body roll, ride composed better than my japanese mpv. Worse, I spent RM1k to install anti-roll bar and strut bar to improve handling by 50% but still lower by 30% compared to exora

      3. Camera? Only beep beep beep sounds like the one in Upin & Ipin movie

      4. Sound system of my japanese MPV? My 10 years old waja sounds sweeter

      5. Engine? CPS torque was the negative point for exora but CFE still the same? OMG, i wish everyone will test drive japanese or korean MPV before they test drive Exora CFE

      6. Accesories for my MPV? I need to fork out RM15k more

      7. NVH? my MPV car hear the bikes sound and the rider words clearly during the traffic light stop whilst Exora filters the external sound & song much better

      8. The previous major weakness of exora cps were only 2. 1st the engine torque & 2nd the interior quality. The 1st has been excellently rectifed but the 2nd remain…

      Compared to poor face lift G. Livina, the new E.Bold is very good efforts by Proton but still long way to go in interior design to catch with the humble Korean.

      Jalan tetap jalan, tapi mesti ke depan

    As a proton owner I ve master a unique skill it is called window pulling. This skill can only be transfer to other proton owners but the skill will be slightly different. My skill is base on recognition n catch it on time whenever the window slow when going up I’ll catch and pull it up it must catch it before it stop. Furthermore, my proton service centre not dealer says no sound is not proton when I complain my brake got sound recently.

    Wonderful car that’s the reason it need full protection from competitors

    Standard Proton practice, after some so call performance upgrade to the premium model, the price for the standard model is being raised as well. The basic B-Line is only RM58998, and now the cheapest 1.6 Standard MT is RM59998. And the Bold Executive is also more expensive than the M-Line Exora just with some add on accessories. Proton, wake up la, your price is no longer competitive to those imported car that are heavily taxed

    It is a good news actually,meaning that prtn already comparable with conti to bashers mind. Saga compare to vw jetta, exora bold compare to cross touran, pug 3008 n 5008.
    So maybe next year, when prtn release a new car, they start to compare with beemer n merc. Wow, at last, bashers acknowledge prtn.
    Where is mr expat, since he is really good, he mentioned before that if innova,livina n chery eastar compare vis a vis in term of co2 output n ncap rating, it will smoke exora bold cfe easily, still waiting ncap rating for innova,livina n eastar n their co2 output data n compare with bold cfe.

      Sorry mad, just “google-here-and-there”, the info you request is non-available and/or incomplete since our Bolehland’s do not enforce CO2 and NCAP rating for cars like what is being implemented in Euro market. In Eurozone, you can find these infos in manufacturers or NCAP websites easily. Some more, some of the cars mentioned are ASEAN’s products “dedicated” and in respond to the local market environment (i.e. fight) the taxes, the “less sophisticated customers” and entry level cars for low income group.

      Is that incomplete or non-availability of info can be related to “lies”, “liar” or “bullshit”? Still want to “menegakan benang yang basah”? Then by the same extension, do you insinuated that our jaguh kampong, T, Chery or N also a “big fat liar” by virtue of non-provision of the said infos.

      You can disagree with my opinion, but that doesn’t mean (or by all means) you can make conclusion by assume there is a correlation between “big fat liar” vis-a-vis non-availibility of info (either in part or in whole). Can you provide any statistical evident(s) to support your argument?

      Look like you are “extremely more difficult” to “educated” than MooFart!

  • bro neo 77, hope u read my post. I really pity u coz u r really not on the luck side, lemon car, what a nightmare.
    Based on ur post, u already send in the car service to prtn branch sc n they dont rectify ur problems. So sorry for u. Even u r selling ur neo, this is my suggestion on ur problems, on the ac dials, i think its not the ac unit problem, but just the dial problem, just change the dial, i think ur prob solved coz that happened to my own n my cuz savvy, earlier thought that ac faulty, but luckily when i send to prtn sc, they check it,its the dials inside connector broken, just replace the dial,cost me rm12, n my prob solved.
    Em, about ur opinion on cps, i think it is not right to jump into conclusion that cps upgrade from campro is not powerful based on ur uncle’s exora experienced. U r comparing ur campro 1.6 (i presume) neo with cps in exora. U shud at least compare it with gen2 cps coz exora is way too heavy to compare with ur neo. If u put vios or honda city engine, its stil has the same experience as cps or even worse.
    This 1.6 cfe is a diff beast,already test driven it. It perform very well in exora, but if put in saga, i believe it can fly(nope really coz dont have flying spoiler as myvi lgpower lgbest).
    The best way is to test driven it first eventhough u r not buying it coz it is a relevation for prtn cars. N try even test drive flx 1.3 n flx 1.6, i believe u will be shock even flx 1.3 can out last ur neo.
    Em,bout campro torque dip, in town cruising, never,ever rev up between 3k-3.9 rpm in town for every gear coz that is where the torque dip lying. Just rev below it if want to save fuel, but not too low or rev beyond it if u want power. If climbing genting sempah, u actually can use 4th gear just by drop it at the moment u climb it and make sure u maintain at least at 4k rpm.
    If u drive below 90kmh,before climbing genting sempah, just drop to 4th gear early before climb n make sure u already rev up the car in 4th@4k rpm atleast before climbing n u will be on 4th all the way up.
    I know it is a little bit annoying but u really need to know how to utilize plain campro engine. But if u r driving gen2 cps@even persona elegance, no need to do that, just drive like normally u do.
    By the way,just go for test drive the gen2 cps, flx, then flx se n exora cps n exora cfe. Atleast u know the different compare to vanila campro.
    Hope that u will be happy with ur new non prtn car sooner. Happy driving.

    • i’m not surprised at all, turbocharged cfe will do better on p321a since it has better power to weight ratio, hopefully can do less than 10 sec !!

      So 11.3s or 13.3s??? I dont understand why there is discrepency. I know this does not really make a difference to parents buying this car but at least make it consistent. Ini sekejap 13.3 sekejap 11.3

            what makes you think that if i were a vios owner? ahahaha……… wanted to know too who mentioned vios was so high tech, you? don’t know how you can differentiate real and fake japanese car. maybe you can even differentiate real or fake german cars, american cars, korean cars, can you? hahaha.
            Don’t always stick to your own pond, come out and see the world outside. a lot of cars are being sold else where other then in asean countries. as i had said earlier, vios was not just sold in asean but also in japan, us and so on. different countries, different specifications, different environment and weather, different requirement, different policies, etc, therefore most of the same cars will have different feel. and the list go on and on.
            ask yourself and other, who don’t want to buy a car cbu from japan, germany, uk, us, s.korean and others? but how many really can afford it in Malaysia? Nowadays, cbu units like lancer, mazda3, polo, etc how much are they? how many can afford of willing to fork out over rm100k for a machine only?
            How will malaysia be better if there were lots of them just think like you. Whether non-national or national cars, hope all cars can be sold here, more choices, better competition, better improvement for survivor, and at the end benefit the consumers. same goes to go other things. can understand? ahahahaha…………………..

    Tested today. 4 Important point tested.

    1. Driving at 60km\h, do slolmn test on wet road. R & H works fine, no Body rolling or skidding.
    2. 15 Degree slope, from stop. Just lift up brake and this CFE starts to move uphill. Maintain RPM about 1600 and it passes the 300m uphill slope without problem.
    3. CVT button off. This CFE feels like normal AT. CVT button On, smooth ride and response.
    4. Gear on L, CVT button off, and it’s A Racer…. (forget to look at the salesman’s face)

    Tested it today.., this MPV is sooo easy to drive… not to mention the power. The CVT is very-very good. My wife tested it too and she could not stop asking me when to book one.

    The interior is good but can be better, probably because Proton wants to make sure the price is below 80k.

    If I must criticise, the engine noise should be silenced further. This is family MPV, the quieter the better. Although I must admit I didnt test it long enough or fast enough to properly gauge the wind, tyre and engine noise.

    I think Proton can probably make a Supreme version where the interior is very luxurious, why not? The engine is certainly more than capable. The volume may not much but I think there is demand for luxurious MPV below 100k.

    Verdict, if you are looking for an MPV, look no further!

    Finally, the verdicts are out there, let look at the hp/kerb weight ratio: –

    1) Exora (125hp/1,433kg) = 87.23 hp per ton
    2) Exora CFE (138hp/1,433kg) = 96.30 hp per ton
    3) Innova (136hp/1,575kg) = 86.35 hp per ton
    4) G Livina (126hp/1,245kg) = 101.20 hp per ton

    Based on the above results, the indications are: –
    1) Previously, many owners of Exora and Innova both commented overwhelmingly that their MPV are “under-power”.
    2) There are many G Livina owners out there never commented that their MPV engine is so “powerful”, except general feedback is that it is fuel saving new engine from Nissan.
    3) Based on above hp/kerb weight ratio, Exora CFE improvement is around 10% over non CFE engine. However, it is still lower than that of G Livina.

    Now let look at the craps and syiok sendiri self praise of all those blinds supporters for this jaguh kampong shitty MPV, inter-alia: –

    “..power given by CFE are awesome, engine are so powerful” ……. – freako

    “very powerful at start….other brand at this range will totally out …cannot compete….” – kkt

    “Tested it today.., this MPV is sooo easy to drive… not to mention the power.” – rosdi

    “Overall i’m quite satisfied with the new CFE engine.I dare say this is better still than Wish 1.8 and Stream 1.8 anytime!” – Norman

    “….its different from previous exora cps….even the mpv was loaded with 4 pax the torque still yummy (most of us weight more than 76kgs with height 175cm++), easily hit 140-150kmh on straight lane…” – ajam

    “manage to have a spin in EXORA CFE just after the showroom open in Kangar today…WOWWWW I LIKE….very very Slight turbo lag initially but CVT ease it’s movement after that…managed to hit 140km/h in dunno how many seconds but the performance was on par with CAmry 2.0G…maybe better….sorry toyoDUA supporters…YOU HAVE BEEN BEATEN” – maaajeeedaaa

    And the worst un-quote of the quote is –

    “So those driving 1.5 auto myvi, eventhough it has extreme name, dont cucuk2 cfe exora, not only because of dangering lives, but also dangering urself being smoke by nearly 1.5 tonne mpv ..for manual myvi LPLB se@extreme, u can try out,but remember,if u cannot shift fast enough, u will also be smoke by this gabak mpv coz this gabak mpv comes with cvt(no shifting required), but if exora bold owner shift from D mode to L mode, be prepared to be smoked by them” – mat

    Looking at hp/kerb weight ratio, G Livina MR18DE 1.8L engine should be “more powerful” than Exora CFE 1.6L. However, it is hardly to find in G Livina posting by PT blog that said the G L is “very powerful” MPV unlike, “freak wow comments” like what all those idiot blind supporters did on Exora!

    Many GL owners, and I also driving GL before, just felt GL is a small safe MPV for family with decent power to move from Point A to B, but on consensus, many agreed it is fuel saving engine.

    Further, some of them test drive at more than the legal speed limit, behave like a F1 drivers or dragster with spin action some more, …………very pathetic! The P1 salesman should control this dangerous driver behavior or bar them from test drive.

    Look at the above blind brainless comments, it is hope that these goup of idiots don’t buy Exora CFE, as it is likely they may end up a dangerous and irresponsible drivers thinking that they are “king of the road” inside Exora CFE, that endanger other road users! This is especially true for the last un-quote of the quote from this mad P1 salesman cyber-trooper (i.e. if what he is writing is taken as to be true).

    Enough said, let the idiot blind supporters click as many thumb down as they want, but the truth always hurt! The more they click thumb down, it is construe as the truth hurt them more!

    • how about you compare it with torque since torque is so much important than hp for an mpv…. oh i see, right, i help you calculate:

      exora cfe 205Nm/1433kg=143.056Nm/tonne
      grandlivina 1.8 174Nm/1245kg= 139.76Nm/tonne
      innova 2.0 182Nm/1575kg=115.56Nm/tonne

      lol…. exora cfe is the winner here for a TRUE mpv car (where torque matters compared to hp).. and bear in mind, that torque is available as low as 2000rpm while livina at 4800rpm… do you know why torque is needed for an mpv car?? it is because torque is what pulling the car to move – http://cdn0.paultan.org/image/cfe-1.jpg

    • Why are you comparing the Exora with a 1.8L Livina which costs 99k (20k more than the Premium CVT) when there is the 1.6L version that is closer in price to the Exora? Is it because the 1.6L Livina only produces 105hp (86.07 hp per ton) so that would make your argument invalid?

      Plus are you expecting an MPV to be driving around without any passengers or cargo? Add in the weight of 7 passengers and some cargo, and you’ll find that Exora CFE’s numbers pretty much match even the 1.8L Livina

      You like to call other people idiots, so I guess you should be smart enough to know that when it comes to acceleration, what matters is torque, not power. And the lower RPMs that it comes the better. So why don’t you compare the torque numbers? Is it because if you do, the Exora CFE’s numbers will again be better.

      And what’s wrong with people commenting about the car’s power? With the original Exora people have always been complaining about the poor acceleration. This has even stopped some from buying it. The CFE is supposed to fix this and this is the single biggest difference between the 2 versions. So of course people are going to comment about the power. What do you want them to talk about then? The fake wood trim?

          “Gender” is refer to sexual orientation of the person which may different from their sex recorded at the time of birth (Male and Female). Brother, jagan malas, go google wikipedia for “gender” and “sex”, then you get details explanation.

      penat baca woo..

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-to-weight_ratio

      cuma kalau dlm wiki tu, kalau kira guna unit hp kena convert kg ke lbs dulu, baru kira ratio..

      btw, dlm nissan punya website GL 1.6 punya hp ialah 105 hp bukan 126 hp bro. 126 hp tu GL 1.8 punya :)

      http://www.nissan.com.my/vehicles/grand_livina/#spec
      http://www.toyota.com.my/innova/specs-and-price/

      so kalau ikut bro ‘punya kalkulator’:

      mengikut turutan terpower (konon)-

      GL 1.8 (126 hp /1280 kg) refer nissan web = 98.43 hp per ton
      CFE 1.6(138 hp/1480 kg) berat cfe ikut brosure = 93.24 hp per ton
      Innova 2.0 G AT (136 hp/1610 kg) refer toyota web = 84.47 hp per ton
      GL 1.6 (105hp / 1245kg) refer nissan web = 84.33 hp per ton

      interesting fact!

      tapi aku takkan petik komen2 orang lain la, nak buat pe… suka hati depa la..

      one more thing, aku setuju bab test ‘power’ dgn test ‘top speed’ ni lain2, abt torque and hp… jgn test kat public, naya kalau langgar anak org.

      btw, dari segi torque (Nm/rpm) camne pulak ek comparison nyer? kena bahagi mass/weight jugak ke bro?

      CFE 1.6 = 205 Nm at 2000 – 4000 rpm
      Innova 2.0 = 182 Nm at 4000 rpm
      GL 1.8 = 174 Nm at 4800 rpm
      GL 1.6 = 150 Nm at 4400 rpm

  • I’ve tested yesterday afternoon….its good, covering almost 20km in city, up hills and housing estate. I feel the interior quite luxury and engine quite powerful ( i’m comparing with my waja CPS manual)….even a guy who tested it with me are considering it….he kept saying, its powerful, pickup is good.

    Now….keep thinking how and when to sell my Waja CPS (I still love to drive it) for this Bold. Hopefully next year can get the Bold Premium.

    So much for marketing strategy, after this,

    – Current EXORAs non CFE confirmed to be underpowered.
    – Current EXORAs non CFE confirmed to be gas guzzlers.
    – Current EXORAs non CFE owners feel betrayed.
    – Current EXORAs non CFE sales will drop. Who’d buy a confirmed underpowered & gas guzzlers MPV?
    – EXORA non CFE will be available cheaply in the 2nd hand market.

    Somehow I feel PROTON’s top brass failed to see this coming!

    I have test-driven one this morning at Glenmarie 3S center. I managed to drive on a windy road with slight uphill and downhill (it somehow like a ‘jalan belakang’ road). To my surprise the handling is superb! at least superior than my dad’s Chevy Nabira. I don’t think EPS is really needed. The setup for the steering is already good. Not heavy nor light, just right. You can really feel the torque. There’s sudden urge of power when reached 2000rpm. The NVH, is the best among other Proton I believe. Very quite even at 100kmh. I didn’t even notice that I already reached that speed. Braking is very responsive. I just step a little a bit on the pedal and already feel the braking power to stop this MPV. The only thing that I dislike is CVT since I am a petrol head . I can almost have no feel that the car is moving. Thought this car is slow but actually it’s the good NVH and no gear shifting feel. At the price tag of RM80k, Exora Bold is the most worth for money MPV in our market currently. If I have 3 children I’m sure go for Exora rather than Inspira. The only downside is the logo. If this car has T or H or N or M sure will be a big hit Well I think Proton already gained their market back since the the launch of Saga and Persona. Exora besides the underpowered engine, the quality seems ok. Never heard any complaint. And now Proton has came up with CFE which solved the underpowered problem. Hope they will keep up the momentum. Way to go Proton!

  • Expat VN,

    Read ur post…..well you got a point in all your post, well written and i believe you speak with facts.

    No offence, if you don’t like Exora, you can skip this thread. No need to labeled those potential buyers are idiot or stupid or whatever you call… who do you think you are ?? If you hate Proton so much, fine…its your choice and your will. Don’t blame others supporting this CFE

    People have choice…If they buy one, do they borrow any money from you ? They don’t owe you a cent. It just none of your business.

  • to the owners of the existing Exora, don’t be sad. you still can catch up with these CFE owners.

    i suggest to put custom BOT built by Xenon Motorsports into your car (put stage 1 minor mod enough ler lol). don’t worry, these guys are pros, not like those cheap ah beng modders lol. they even turboed new Conti cars.

    example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ido53dJvLWY

    Pros:
    -a little higher power than CFE,
    -better AVERAGE FC than CPS since you don’t need to rev high (and its a custom BOT w/ old GBox, what do you expect lol),
    -works for AT transmission,
    -pretty reliable (some of these guys has run it for over a year and still no probs)
    -they use REAL quality parts (Siemens ECU, Mitsu turbo, they even done extensive R&D), not like those cheap ahbeng shit.
    -they give you warranty on engine after installing their turbo. in case if your engine fails, they’ll replace the failed parts. (maybe the whole engine, i dunno lol. but such case never happen)
    -you don’t need to install those many stupid meters if stage 1 lol.

    Cons:
    -engine a little noisier than CPS
    -higher FC than CPS, IF you don’t watch your RPM
    -Proton service centre can’t do anything on your engine, if your engine fails (never happen yet). however many parts are still the same.

    but i think if you have the money, just get the Bold CFE, or the Prime next year.

  • expat2,aku ckp bm lah coz ko ssh nk phm dlm bi. Bila aku tanya yg ko dok canang2 eastar, livina n innova akan beat cfe exora dlm co2 output n ncap, ko ckp xda maklumat kat malaysia, kat luar negara byk maklumat.
    Dah tu, internet ni dlm malaysia je ke, ko bleh g browse sume web dlm dunia n euroncap, sesapa jek bleh masuk website tuh, carilah kat euroncap ada ke tidak ncap nye?
    Pastu ko duk auta psl hp plak. Btl, power to weight ratio krg ckit, tp tgk plak torque dia. Peak hp pun sampai lebih awal pada 5k rpm berbanding mpv yg ko sebut, torque dia lebih n cpai lebih awal dan flat dr 2k-4krpm.
    Klu ko tgk graf torque cfe,walupun dia drop kat 4k, tp drop ckit jek,masih tinggi sampai 5k rpm,br dive.
    So,klu ko silangkan graf torque n hp, ko akan dpt tgk mcmmana broad n wide powerband cfe nih.
    Klu ko dpt cari graf torque livina, innova,eastar ke, apabila dia sampai peak torque, dia kan menjunam turun coz enjin na. Jadi torque akan berkurangan sblm sampai peak hp menyebabkan enjin akan ngaum n lambat utk naik ke peak hp coz torque dh kurang sgt2.
    Sama jugak cps, walupun pd exora, power dia xcukup kuat, tp klu tgk graf hp n torque klu ko cross kan, ko akan nampak,walupun peak toque kt 4.5k rpm,tp dia drop pelan2 sampai ke peak hp pada 6.5k rpm. Pd 4k rpm,cps punya torque dlm 145++nm.
    Maksudnya, atas enjin alone, dr 4k rpm keatas sampai 6.5k, enjin cps pun akan perform lg baik dr enjin ko sebut2kan diatas. Cume kelemahan dia rpm bwh. Klu kat berat sama ngan g.livina, dia lg power,tp klu brt exora,mmgla lembab ckit,power akan terasa bila sampai 3krpm.
    Powerloss at mitsu mmg kuat tarik power enjin cps,dlm 20% loss. Sbb tuh klu bwk manual exora cps,lg baik power dia coz powerloss mitsu manual dlm 12% jek.
    Pwr loss gear manual yg baik cam dr getrag,hanya 5-10% shj, begitu juga cvt.
    Cvt plak xda pwrloss ketika shifting,xmcm manual n at.
    Klu ko banding at kat livina,eastar,innova dgn cvt cfe,ko silap. Klu ko bwk livina cnth,stiap kali shifting,pwr akan hilang coz rpm akan drop, contoh,dlm gear 1,dh rev sampai 4250 rpm, sampai torque peak, tp bila masuk gear dia, rpm akan drop cnth 3krpm, so torque berkurangan coz pd 3k rpm,torque rendah n ko kena rev lg sampai 4250rpm utk achieve torque yg sama, n begitulah terjadi seterusnya.
    Kat cvt cfe,ko hanya perlu rev 2k rpm jek, torque akan maintain sampai ke speed yg ko khendaki, tiada pwrloss.
    Psl tax, nantilah aku cite n bg link camne tax kenderaan n ko tgk ckit yg xda tax free kete msia n perbezaan ckd hanya 10% shj dr kete tempatan n cbu hanya 30% shj pd cc yg sama. Bukan 300% mcm yg dicanang2kan.
    Peace

  • satu lg expat, ko ada quote aku ckp yg myvi extreme 1.5 auto jgn cuba main2 ngan exo cfe, n manual juga jgn cube2, ko ckp aku bs.
    Ko bukak sendiri website proton edar, dlm brochure ada kesilapan, dan mmg marketing dept prtn mmg teruk sampai buat brochure buat silap.
    Exora bold cfe cvt 11.3 saat 0-100kmh
    myvi extreme auto 12.49 saat 0-100kmh
    myvi extreme manual 9.98(xnampak beza 0.02 saat,sepatutnya 10 saat, tp pandaila marketing perodua guna no, mcm jualan rm9.98,nampak murah bwh rm10,tp 2 sen jek kurang) saat 0-100kmh

    itu atas kertas, tp kena ingat, klu yg manual,diuji oleh profesional,fast shifting, klu org biasa, setiap shifting,akan hilang beberapa saat..
    Myvi xtreme 0-100kmh,xsilap,kena slot gear 3 br cecah speed tuh, so ada 3 kali hilang masa. So,ko kiralah berapa saat kena tambah.
    Begitu juga yg auto, tp kita ikut figurelah sbb auto shifting sendiri.
    Dah terang lg nyata,exora bold cfe lg pantas dr myvi extreme, 11.3 versus 12.49.
    Manakala bg manual myvi, kena ingat, ada loss of time masa shifting, cfe pkai cvt,xda shifting, so timing konsisten. Klu flx cvt 1.3 pun dpt 13.2 saat real world timing(cari sendiri dlm youtube),dlm brochure n website tulis 14.5 saat. Klu cfe, mgkin bleh dpt 10 saat 0-100kmh klu ikutkan flx punya timing.
    So expat, ko ckp aku ckp ngarut, so sapa ngarut nih? Jilatla ludah ko sendiri.
    Aku bkn salesman prtn. Aku buat freelance sales kete ape2 aje, jepun ke,koreake,conti ke,prtn ke n etc, itu sambilan. Aku keje lain full time n xda kena mngena ngan prtn lgsung keje aku.

    Walupun aku tau expat ni ngarut,tp suka lyn dia coz lg dia ckp,lg nampak kebodohan dia.

    Mcm dia ckp psl innova, eastar,livina, dia ckp xdpt bg data co2 output n ncap kerana xleh google, coz kete jual kat msia xda data tuh, n kete2 yg dinyatakan jual kat asean country aje, jd xda data tuh.

    Nampak x kebodohan dia, dia ckp kete2 dia mention adalah kete ASEAN countries, sejak bila euroncap mai asia testing kete. Euro ncap utk kete pasaran europe ajek, ancap utk pasaran australia ajek, nhtsa utk amerika ajek, cncap utk cina ajek .
    So mana dtgnya ncap negara asean?
    Semua ncap rating, kete diambil oleh badan ncap sendiri, bukan kita bleh suka2 bg kat dia. Klu euroncap xnak amik kete prtn utk test, bkn slh prtn, bukan prtn bleh paksapun.
    Idiada antara tempat buat crash testing mana2 manufacturer dlm dunia nih selain internal crash test kat lab masing2. Sekurang2nya, proton validate crash test internal dia dgn 3rd party luar. Bukan buat internal semata2 n syok sendiri. Idiada n euroncap ada link, sbb tuh klu tgk kat euroncap kete yg dia testing, ada logo idiada coz dia iktiraf idiada buat test sama standard ngan dia.

    I just test drove the Exora Bold Premium CVT this afternoon. Overall I think it has an extremely high value for money proposition – Less than 80K, sweet spot in terms of specs and price. The Exora was easy to handle, feels sure footed, NVH is good, pickup is good (4 person in the car), doesn’t seem to have any hesitation in the get go.

    I think Proton has hit the nail on the head. Definitely will get this as my next car (currently driving a 6 yrs old Honda City VTEC) definitely feels much more premium compared to my current ride.

      jgn la over tech ini.

      kita hanya mahu tahu improvement over model lama dan mereka yg sudah test drive.

      yg comment itu handling mcm ferari…..cornering solid……itu dah tau majikan mereka lah.

      skrg pun volvo merc pun pakai turbo dgn engin kecil, so jalan ini mmg patut.

      Kalo tak salah kalau kereta bold ini make it to US ke Rusia ke….kena ikut test mereka kan?

      Kat sini, kita boleh control sikit, kat sano….payah byk. Mana tahu biji mana yg akan dipilih utk ujian ya.

I know it’s easy for you to create lies and bullshit out of thin air, but very hard for you to accept the truth… you’re egoistic and too proud of yourself. bodoh sombong memang susah nak belajar. keep writing and you’re just making a fool of yourself.

    IMHO, this is the best car by far being produced by Proton. I have test drove it and at some point I forgot that I was actually driving a local made car. There was some special feelings when driving the new exora bold. Interior wise is acceptable from my opinion but of course can’t compare with the likes of peugeot, citroen and such. I can predict that this model will be a hit providing that no problem with the new engine.

    For anyone to believe, just set aside your hatred to the Proton brand and just see and test for yourself. Back in 2001 I bought a Waja so nasty in quality, I let it go exactly a year after I have run out of warranty. Lost a lot of money. Have bought a Mazda Protege, Perodua Kelisa, Kia Picanto and Nissan Sylphy ever since (sedan for me and small car for wifey).

    Been looking for an MPV since last year and have kept my mind open about it. I don’t want to spend too much since it shall be a third car to carry family and occasional balik kampung only. So no Grandis, Estima and even the likes of Wish and Stream for me. Been testing Innova, Grand Livina and Eastar. Avanza kicked out from list the earliest. Each has its own drawback, I bet everyone knows what they were. Closest to buy the GL (would be a case of just take what’s available lah).

    But one thing is I have been regularly driving (borrowing) my sis-in-law’s Exora MT Basic. I know it has almost everything a Malaysian need (again people, need…. not want). It has been nealy 2 years she owns it I think. General quality had surpassed my expectation because it is now nearly 100K km and she and husband are still happy. She drives daily to her work place in Bandar Penawar from her house near JB, and her husband occasionally to Tanjung Bin. Johoreans could imagine the distances.

    What it doesn’t have is the engine. The CPS is barely enough for the MT so I know it would be even worse for the AT. So when the test drive for this CFE is available I knew I had to try it, and I’m impressed. Yes, the interior needs improving but I hope Proton will do it better next time (a wish, not a need). Since I already have a Sylphy, I know what to comment on the engine. Refinement is not there yet, neither does a Lancer. But for a 1.6L, the torque is impressive (and enough for me).

    Talking about the price, I had always knew I want the Highline but there was no justification over it with the old CPS model. But it is thoroughly justified this time around. The CFE is only a few hundred RM premium over the CPS (look at the price list before add in accessories), but for a mere 4K+ the accessories list I think it’s ok and just about nail it for me. Price wise, Proton can do better but don’t need to fret about it lah ppl.

    I will still wait a few months, because my family only wants it around middle of next year. By that time there would be enough user’s feedback. People who don’t want it, they probably don’t need it. So let them be. For the rest who do but too proud to admit, it’s their loss.

      what proton offers now is really a steal. mild turbo man, has factory warranty summore, not like ah beng turbo that you install in sunway! you don’t get any warranty if you blow up the engine!

    after reading all these comments pro n cons, i would say give credit where n when it is due. proton has improved over the years, and now with this mild turbo, it is worth considering to those who hv large family n would wan to consider a little extra muscle when they need it. dun compare to turbo supercharger lah, my best advice is to go for a test drive. that will give potential buyers the actual feel n practicality of this mpv. if the price tags suits ur budget, why not? otherwise, u can start looking for other makes as well but do pleae, take that test drive. personally, i wun buy cause i dun need a mpv, i am fine with my current sedan. keep an open mind, test drive then decide… hv a great week ahead

    Attn. to mat and others,

    There are many motor-heads up-there argue until kingdom come home (i.e. some based on “cAmparison draft brochure” that car performance is based on TORQUE, not HP! Mat, since you are part-time all brands car seller, and I am former proud owners of 2 Proton cars for approximate 12 year (before DSZ time). In the spirit of learning and share information, let look at link below: –

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-to-weight_ratio

    “Power-to-weight ratio is a measurement of actual performance of any engine or power sources. It is also used as a measurement of performance of a vehicle as a whole, with the engine’s power output being divided by the weight (or mass) of the vehicle, to give a metric that is independent of the vehicle’s size”.
    When Google for Torque-to-Weight ratio, “The page “Torque-to-weight ratio” does not exist……….., and most of other webpage discuss Power-to-Weight instead of Torque (exception is camparison brochure).

    The Wikipedia clearly stated it is hp/kerb weight ratio with SI unit either kw/kg or hp/lb.
    OK, now we used figure for Power-to-Kerb weight ratios and Torque provided by“Nak Tumpang Tanya Jer”: –

    GL 1.8 (126 hp /1280 kg) refer nissan web = 98.43 hp per ton
    CFE 1.6(138 hp/1480 kg) berat cfe ikut brosure = 93.24 hp per ton
    Innova 2.0 G AT (136 hp/1610 kg) refer toyota web = 84.47 hp per ton
    GL 1.6 (105hp / 1245kg) refer nissan web = 84.33 hp per ton

    CFE 1.6 = 205 Nm at 2000 – 4000 rpm
    Innova 2.0 = 182 Nm at 4000 rpm
    GL 1.8 = 174 Nm at 4800 rpm
    GL 1.6 = 150 Nm at 4400 rpm

    Reason to compare to GL1.8 & Innova –

    “Boosted with the more efficient 1.6L engine, customers will experience powerful performance which is comparable to a 2.0L engine, with much lower fuel consumption” (Source: PT Blog)

    Formulae provided in Wikipedia: –
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    Torque,

    T = r x F

    T = rF Sin ?

    Relationship between torque, power and energy

    P = ? x ?

    where P is power, ? is torque, ? is the angular velocity, and • represents the scalar product.

    Torque is part of the basic specification of an engine: the power output of an engine is expressed as its torque multiplied by its rotational speed of the axis.

    Comments: –
    So, based on the above formule, the power output is related to the torque and rpm proportionately. In other word, the higher the Torque (N.m) and rpm, the higher the power output (hp). But high rpm might results in higher fuel consumption!
    Therefore, high torque (N.m) at low rpm (round per minute) to produce higher power (hp) is “desirable” like what CFE is able to achieved!

    OK, mat, with due respect to your knowledge, now I throw you some questions (and hope you willing and answer in an objective manner @ “strictly no-cock/bull-fighting”): –

    1) My posting about power-to-weight ratio is based on reliable source like Wikipedia to compare the performance of car vis-à-vis “torque-to-weight” ratio as stated in “camparison draft brochure”. Which one is more appropriate? Any reason(s) for that?

    2) Is it appropriate to use Torque-to-weight ratio for comparison, since such adoption will result in the SI unit for this ratio is N.m/kg?

    3) If we use higher Torque only (i.e. CFE 1.6 = 205 Nm at 2000 – 4000 rpm) as indication of performance of car, that means we need more power (hp) or lower rpm (round per minute). But use of final figure for Torque only without taken into consideration the kerb weight of the car, it is not a ratio analysis. Therefore, can it be a valid comparison?

    4) CFE 1.6 = 205 Nm at 2000 – 4000 rpm, is higher Torque than GL and Innova at lower rpm. Does this indicate better performance in term of power out-put at lower rpm that needed less petrol (fuel saving), or “end performance” of car irrespective of fuel efficiency?

    5) Is it “camparison draft brochure” emphasize on Torque is just tell part of the story only, and not objective comparison of car performance?

    Based on torque, power and energy formula relationship, I can agree that the “camparison draft brochure” claim that high Torque is important for contribute to higher hp, thus better performance. Further, low rpm shall contribute to fuel saving.

    Mofaz, care to share, this time I can “agree to disagree”, and of course ready to accept your constructive comments!

      should be read as,

      P = T x w

      where P is power, T is torque, w is the angular velocity, and • represents the scalar product.

      when other people quote from wiki, you said it’s unreliable. now you yourself mentioned that wiki is reliable… wiki is ok for you but not anybody else? fine. from the previous graph, we compare CFE vs 2.0 (innova)

      Horsepower = Torque x RPM / 5252, so, at 2000rpm;
      CFE produces 205×2000/5252 = 78hp
      Innova produces 170×2000/5252 = 65hp only

      do you see that CFE produces higher HP and quicker than 2.0 Innova? so, even if Exora CFE and Innova have almost similar peak HP (138 vs 136 HP), CFE could achieve higher HP much sooner than Innova. this is because CFE has much higher TORQUE at low RPM! so, if the weight of Exora and Innova are similar, Exora will sprint faster than Innova. this is why we said torque is very important at stop and go traffic.
      yes we commonly use power to weight ratio, but don’t just looking at peak HP. peak HP usually achieved at around 4-5K rpm and we rarely drive at that rpm range. many cars could easily cruising 110kmh with rpm around 3k. what’s more important is how fast can you get that power.

    Maybe a longer term drive with family, in jams, racing at traffic lights, cornering with the souped up crowd….then really know whether anything will break or tortured after a few hard drives.

    Its a good effort but the price has also gone up.

    At 90k……a lot of other things can be chosen especially for those who do not need 7 seats.

  • ok expat, we talk as gentleman. Sorry, just dont like the way u talk to people before even to me coz we are adult. I start using harsh word to u coz u start that first, remember, budi bahasa budaya kita.

    I’m not saying what u say on power to weight ratio is totally wrong, yup, its true the higher the horsepower, the higher top speed we can achieve, that is on engine alone, without counting transmission powerloss, coefficient lift, coefficient drag, weight if the car, tyre n etc.

    I actually dont really like to refer to wikipedia(not saying it is not reliable, sometimes reading from it too), but the editing function that allow anyone to giveout info, normally i dig out from powertrain engineer himself@other sources, then look at wiki.

    Bout torque, it is not about how high speed u can achieve, but how fast u can achieve that speed, or normally we say broad/wide @ small the powerband(combination hp n torque) based on both graf n at which point is where both graff cross each other(if u know exactly, that would be the most perfect rpm to shift gear n to maintain rpm coz it is the condition when the hp n torque at optimum level). This is the layman term, if u want to know explanation in technical word, maybe u can ask any engine engineer@just google.

    Yup, we must count the weight also, thats why some of others already counted for u torque to weight ratio so u can get how many torque is available to carry 1kg of weight. So, it seems, even hp to weight cfe loose from livina 1.8, but it gain back advantage in torque. 2k rpm max torque is consider low, but not superlow coz diesel turbo can achieve max torque as low as 1.4k rpm.

    As my engineer friend said, there is a trade of between hp n torque, thats why u can achieve enormous torque from diesel but low hp, compare to petrol can achieve high hp but lower torque. The same case cfe or any other petrol turbo engines.

    If u have experience driving turbo diesel,manual cog before, u will understand the importance of torque at low rpm coz u dont need to shift too much even at slow speed coz there are plenty of torque available at low rpm, n it saves up fuel compare to petrol turbo, easy to drive,rarely need to change gear unless stopping condition.

    Yup, cfe has higher fc even compare to cps, but it is simply because when u add turbo@supercharger,it increase the fc but coz currently we used modern turbo, it just small diff compare to old one.
    If u look at 5008 vti na engine, compare to thp156 hp, the latter has high fc compare to na, but the power of higher capacity engine.

    The same case as myvi extreme at,it has more power to weight than cfe exora cvt, but torque to weigt, exora gain advantage. N remember,to achieve 136nm of 1.5l engine, u need to rev to 4k rpm. But cfe exora already acieve max at 2k rpm. If u count back myvi 1.5 engine torque@2k rpm, it is less than 136nm, my guess maybe around 110-116nm, so it has less torque to weight, look at the hp at 2k rpm on both engine.
    So, myvi after 4k, torque already dive in, so take time to achieve top speed, plus cosmetic bodykit, the drag, its hard to achieve higher speed.

    N why 138hp only, why 205nm torque only, its still depend on how much hp n torque the gearbox can take, put it beyond max gbox can take, shortening the lifetime of gbox.

    Thats why even for high per turbo engine for vw@one of the most powerful engine w16 in bugatti veyron, owned by vw,but dont use dsg, but use amt(single clutch n outsoursed) instead coz dsg cannot stand the power n torque of the engine.

    Anyway, need to tell u, some of the figure above are maybe not that acurate coz its already late,so lazy to seacrh for brochure n get exacty myvi engine pwr n toque n engine graph, but as far as i remember, it is the same.

    So, peace yo

If u count back myvi 1.5 engine torque@2k rpm, it is less than 136nm, my guess maybe around 110-116nm, so it has less torque to weight, look at the hp at 2k rpm on both engine.
    So, myvi after 4k, torque already dive in, so take time to achieve top speed, plus cosmetic bodykit, the drag, its hard to achieve higher speed.

    N why 138hp only, why 205nm torque only, its still depend on how much hp n torque the gearbox can take, put it beyond max gbox can take, shortening the lifetime of gbox.

    Thats why even for high per turbo engine for vw@one of the most powerful engine w16 in bugatti veyron, owned by vw,but dont use dsg, but use amt(single clutch n outsoursed) instead coz dsg cannot stand the power n torque of the engine.

    Anyway, need to tell u, some of the figure above are maybe not that acurate coz its already late,so lazy to seacrh for brochure n get exacty myvi engine pwr n toque n engine graph, but as far as i remember, it is the same.

    So, peace yo…

  • anyway expact, dont blame the brochure that prtn makes coz they r trying to make it easy to comprehend even for layman. I read a lot of cars brochures, n when it comes to comparison, none hp/weight@torque/weight been highlighted coz hard for layman to understand.

    And if u will, read back all my post before carefully, i mentioned exora bold is in par or MAYBE better than japs or others its SEGMENT n PRICE in MALAYSIA. Not in the world, not even asean. N which nearly the segment mpv that in malaysia in nearly same price as exora in malaysia? Only innova, eastar,livina 1.6 n even avanza 1.5.
    I just point out also dont just picked car price outside malaysia just like that, it is not a fair comparison coz if u check exampe toyota camry all over the world,they have diff price, not only tax, u need to remember, cif(cost of freight n insurance also diff) , n many cars sell outside based on option n there are alot of term n condition applied.
    Easiest is just stick the comparison in malaysia. N never ever mentioned cfe exora better than wish or stream.
    So, hopefully u understand what i write earlier than just saying i bs here, bs there, prtn cybertroopers n etc coz if i am really say exora is good, why not saying that it is one of the besy mpv in the world in its segment?

    So,thats why i always say read back what i said since i dunno if it is misunderstanding@didnt bother to read n understand everything.

    N if u want to know whether this cfe just bot on plain vanilla campro@not, just go and read from other blogs, there even other blogs put in the slides on what is make cfe different than campro. So, gdmorning expat,bubye…

    Wow… macam tak percaya aku dah test drive Exora CFE kat Juru Autocity , Penang. Salesman tak bagi drive keluar dari autocity sebab no plate tak ada lagi, tapi sempat jugak ramp sampai 80km/h in short distance… very impressive acceleration. Dulu masa kat US, aku pernah bawa Mazda 6, Toyota Aeras 2.4 (Estima), Toyota Corolla (Altis) dan Nissan Sentra. Apa yang aku rasa, Exora CFE ini lebih pickup and feel effortless berbanding dengan Aeras 2.4. Shocking fact but true. Transmission CVT feel very smooth, but compared with Nissan, Nissan Sentra CVT little bit smoother than Exora CFE. Berdasarkan input dari salesman, Exora CFE ni boleh cruise pada 100KM/h @ 2500rpm. Kalau betul fakta ini, sepatutnyya Exora CFE lebih jimat atau sama jimatnya dengan Exora CPS pada highway, dan probably lebih jimat dari Exora CPS dalam stop and go traffic (city). I lost confident with Proton for looong time, but Exora CFE change my perception. It deserve my money and I immediately book Exora Bold Premium – Cocoa Grey

    p/s:
    1) Salesman kata, Exora Prime mostly booked by Kedah people…. unbelievable
    2) WTH Proton Edar close at 8pm at launching day. Pleaaase extend to 11pm like what Perodua did. Lot of people still coming and standing at glass wall to see the Exora Prime themself and the Proton people not even care to re-open the door (the staff still inside). Some of them coming from far (yeah… one them from Perlis), and highly disappointed by Proton attitude. This totally lost of opportunity + lost of sale.

    Hi all especially Proton,i’m so proud with Proton brand nowadays.congrate to Proton.

    I’v test drived Exora Bold yesterday, to be honest the torque still can improve or the weight need to reduce, when u carring 7pesengers and going uphill the engine will work harder. with the 1.6 engine and 138hp mpv if compare the others mpvs it’s ok. Maybe next model of Exora Bold will come out with semi auto transmission and must reduce the weight of the body.

    i think this machine suitable with RON97 then u will feel the real power of CFE(turbo)

  • yups, there are given rebate before, but not know since 2006, u know when people babling about afta, so previously, they imported car has only import duty, n during that time it was relatively high,there r many thing they revise especially the tax structure.

    If u want to look for really details on how much cars value, especially proton, u can look at www.onemotoring. Com.sg or even try to browse their customs website..

    If in the future we are following fully afta(need to understand afta, japans,koreans, europes cars n etc that is not under asean countries, they still can be imposed import duty. Only those is made or being produce in asean region can be exempted from import duty, but not domestic@exise duty.

    So,if afta being fully apply in malaysia, cbu price will reduce 30% from car cost(not 30% from selling price), ckd will reduce 10%. So, it is cheaper than before, but not as cheap as we think before n still have to pay for tax.

    N those dreaming cbu cars can has lower price as langkawi without import duty n import exice duty n sales tax, u are only dreaming coz they are not asean countries.

    So, bloodsucking manufacturers esp japs that sold us highly price of their cars even their tax are lower. Simple scenario, lancer gt 2.0 cbu(higher tax) cheaper than ckd 2.0(cheaper tax) civic, even outside malaysia, their price is not much diff.

    The same as mazda 2, fiesta cbu(higher tax), price on par with ckd(lower tax) vios n city.

    There is different between import excise duty n local excise duty. It is not the percentage, but the term, remember, in LAW(if u have chance of learning it formally, even bracket means differently). If i not mistaken, in langkawi, they are tax free(exempted from import n sales tax), but import including import excise duty, but local excise duty is still included. Thats why if u look at prtn price in Langkawi, they are only less around 10% coz sales tax is 10%.

    So get the picture, i’m not supporting blood sucking tax policy in malaysia, just one to open ones eyes that we wont be getting cheap cars like outside even if afta applied, n need to remember also, japan cars sold in japan,dont have cif(cost of freigt n insurance) but since they ship they cars or components here, they have to add the cost of insurance n freight (cif) to the car, so even in 0 tax @ tax free world,we are not getting similar price as in japan.

    So stop talking, just do action. If u r the one or maybe in the future be one of those involve in setting the tax, make sure try to reduce may be down to 30% excise duty,so that we can get cheaper local car over here. But need to remember, when u reduce tax, u need to cover the loss coz u dont want to make a deficit budget, or u will make us bankrupt and as the car rpice reduce, we need to prepare to accept something else higher, maybe increase in fuel price to rm3.50@rm4 perlitre, road tax can be higher,insurance premium also to be higher. This is what we call running cost.

    Outside u can get cheaper priced car, but running cost is higher. If roadtax plus insurance for viva is rm 3k , n price of fuel @rm 4, will be those whose buying viva can bear the running cost?

    Just hopefully that we can get everything cheap in the world.

  • RM60K-RM90K range for a Proton Exora with different variant?

    I like Exora, but I think this is wrong positioning.

    Who will buy RM90K Exora?

    If Protong can squeeze their supplier by opening up, the price can be more competitive.

    I think Exora Manual – RM50K, Exora AT – RM60K, and Exora Premium – Rm70K should be reasonable.

    Forget those Bold, Prime whatever transformer naming. Its confusing market.
    Same to the stupid Saga FL SE (have you listen to the radio advertisement how difficult they pronounce that?)

      I’d already test-driven the Exora Bold as well last weekend. I only revved to 2,000 rpm and yet the Exora Bold responded very quickly than the Exora CPS. I felt like the Exora CFE and CPS to be like 2 different cars – I only pressed the throttle pedal very lightly in the former, while in the latter I had to press pedal to the metal before it picked up speed. In the Exora Bold, I only drove up to 90 km/h at slightly lower than 2,000 rpm because of the heavy rain at that time.

      I also tested a feature which was heavily advertised in the Saga FLX brochure but never been mentioned at all in the Exora Bold brochure – the SAT feature. Even though the SAT emulated the 6-speed auto gearbox, I felt that the shift time seemed to be lagged. Therefore, I would prefer the normal D position without the SAT.

      For the final verdict, I must agree to the fact that everyone here agrees (except for the pelarian vietnam and his cronies aka sockpuppets who still cannot accept the truth and facts) that the Exora has finally been perfected. When the Exora was first launched, Proton offered a lot of goodies including the features embedded in the Body Control Module, which would be a great value for an MPV of that particular price tag, but the bad thing was the puny 1.6L CPS engine to haul an MPV almost as large as a Toyota Innova. It is sad that Proton did not have any other engine options than the 1.3 and 1.6 engines. Buying a 2.0L engine from other carmakers like Mitsubishi is costly and will only make the Exora a lot more expensive than before. So, the best solution from Proton could take (which actually had been done in ah beng shops a lot earlier than in Proton plant itself) was to bolt on the turbo. As a result, what we see now is the real perfected Exora.

        talking about perfection..they are still a long way to go actually..one most pressing is the central locking button.. please la put one at the dashboard ala Persona or any other car sedan..Exora is a very wide vechicle.. my wife have to stretch herself to lock and an unlocked each time i leave her and the kids in the car… is they do this I will definately change my Exora to Exora bold..

    1st test drive : Friday, too short coz to many people
    2nd : Tuesday, line clear for long drive.. thank you mr salesman

    After long 2nd test drive on normal and uphill test here is my opinion.

    1) Good value for money. RM 80K for BOLD premium.
    2) Built quality, have improve a lot
    3) Handling very good for this size MPV
    4) Power ratio with 3 adults, 2 kids, very good even when cruising uphill at 100km/h

    If anybody want features like J and C manufacturer, price sure would be higher.

    Next plan, test drive with 7 pupils in it….if lucky laaa
    Personally on the list.

    Before arguing on CC, one should first know what is CC. Many people think that CC is equivalent to OUTPUT (Horse Power). READ THE ABOVE LINK for better knowledge. Bigger CC does not mean bigger power, but it does mean higher fuel consumption. 1600cc for Exora is just perfect. In fact, I am surprise with Proton’s CFE technology which has the similar effect with the BMW, AUDI and VW’s latest engine, ie small CC but big OUTPUT. Have you ever testdrive it? if not, test it before giving unfair statement.

There are some cars that doesn’t look good but still they will be good on the road. I think this car will also be the same and I liked the interiors of the car although it did not have any special features. I think it is simple and easy to handle this car while driving.

    I just had the chance to test the Proton Exora Bold today.
    From the outside the vehicle is impressive.
    But from the interior it sucks big time.
    Not to happy with the handling and performance.
    Looks like the vehicle is struglling on power with just 2 occupants.
    When goin on steep slope the vehicle almost stalled and the engine cranking is massive.
    Even the temperature started to rise just 10 minutes into the drive.
    The SA claim its normal for all proton cars including Exora Bold.
    In summary This Exora Bold looks like a cheapskate MPV a typical product from Proton.
    It is not reliable at all and worst cost too much for the quality.
    I would go for Livina anytime considering the value for money.
    Suggest you guys test drive the livina first and you will see the differrence.
    Make the wise decision.

    I’ve bought last year lousy car (livina 1.8). I bought this car due to less option of japan new brand in our market, I tod all jap car shuld come with at least the same statisfaction in all terms..

    all went wrong..my car having bad noisy at the compressor and i was very shame when running the car tru my neighbours house, i afraid his children will wake-up wen i passing by..

    The things that i was really2 upset is the Tan Chong Service Centre, i was making complaint that there is noisy sound from my :
    1.compressor
    2.my driver door trim
    3.strong wind coming inside the cabin from front mirror while driving in the highway. many livina driver claim this problem.

    you know what was the SC do to my car they not even overcome to my compressor problem but they changed my lube oil from fully syentetic to mineral oil. how can i stand whith this such a fool things, why can’t they review my last service and the milage as well.

    now i’am working outside, but my wife is driving the car and keep complaining the terrible sound. I think she got shame to her friends for those tikus sounds.

    After all i thing malaysian should support national cars until it become good, to make complaining is easy but to pay more with low quality for top bran is shamefull.

    Saya abang man. sebelum ni pakai wira auto yg 0 – 100 tak tau la berape puluh saat hehehe…

    Baru baru ni saya bercadang nak beli MPV…
    Nak beli Livina, saya tak minat design. interior putih pun senag nampak kotor.
    Nak beli Rush, dah test drive… sekali tgk interior amat la descentnye… seat kulit pun takde utk S Spec..? 97k plak tu…

    Pastu ader kawan rekomen tgk bold… saya bwk camtu camtu aje.. ye la kan keta sebelum ni pon lembab je.. so bold ni pade saye laju dan gagah le.. nak tgk torque ke HP ke saye tak gheti… hehe..so saye dah book… sekali wife mintak up sket ke Prime… adei.. boleh ke..? sib baik lepas loan hehe… dapat interest 2.78 dr RHB… benk cap rimau bg tinggi.. 2.85… ngape cenggitu eh..? sedangkan dulu mase masuk rush diorang bleh bg 2.4 je..?

    So skrg ni tgh menunggu hari… no plet pon dah book.. WXK **** hehe… terbang 3 ratus…

    Doakan agar kereta prime saye elok dan sihat.. Aminn… :)

    Nothing impress me, except- the color

    The reasons why CFE is limited to 205nm is the Punch CVT gearbox which has limit of 215nm only,Go google Punch CVT2 version gearbox.Dyno and racechip has prove that CFE capable of getting at least 149hp@5300rpm and 242nm@2200rpm if not for the cvt gearbox and emission control.One must remember its just an engineering upgrade from a stock Campro engine with more than 60% of modification.A normal 6 speed auto with manual option is the best for this heavy mpv.Its not 13.3s as someone claimed.The CFE standard flat out less than 10.6s and less than 11.2s for the premium version.IMO that’s adequate for a 1405-1480kg 1.6 mpv.Dun compared Peugeot twin scroll or VW twin charge engine.Proton only use Borg Warner single low pressure turbo while Pug using two turbo and VW using turbo/Supercharge technology..

  • As salam, masing2 ada pendapat & pandangan. ini pendapat aku. sekarang aku guna pakai proton saga blm first model. every weekend gerak dr perak ke terengganu. kadang2 lajak sampai johor. baru guna 3 tahun, melledge da samapai 100k. tp xder masalah pun. Alhamdulillah. compare dgan kwan yg guna pakai import car. milledge x smpi lagi 90k, mcm2 masalah. then kos sara dia plak tinggi jika dibandingkn dgn proton. skang aku guna pkai exora prime. sebelum tu test drive kwan2 punye krete. innova, avanza, wish, cherry, estima & grandis. kesimpulan, dgan hrga around rm90k, spec yg dpat mmg berbaloi-baloi. sbbnya, kne buat survey sindri. aku da buat. mcm2 aku masukkan utk dpatkn krete yg terbaik. kita bukan nak guna krete sebulan 2, tp smpi abis. PROTON improve a lot…tahniah…
