This Proton Exora with some mild disguises and a tradeplate was spotted by reader Abdullah Kutan on the PLUS highway heading towards JB, just before Ayer Hitam.
The front end of the disguised Exora features what seems to be a new front grille and a new front bumper design. The front grille opening seems to have been made bigger – I’m thinking wishfully that this might be in order to allow more cooling for a turbocharged engine hiding in the engine bay.
At the rear, the strip across the bootlid has been painted body colour, and the tail lamps are of a new clear design such as the one we’ve seen on the Proton Exora Prime Concept, but not exactly the same either as the Prime had a clear tail lamp design while this one looks more like a combo of clear and smoked.
Look after the jump for the photo gallery of the spied Exora.
