Specifications and pricing of the 2017 Proton Exora have quietly made their way onto the Proton Edar website. A source at Proton has confirmed that the revised seven-seater MPV has already gone on sale.
Just two variants are available now, both powered solely by the 1.6 litre CamPro Turbo engine making 138 hp and 205 Nm, matched to a CVT. Prices start at RM67,800 for the Executive model, rising up to RM75,800 for the Executive Plus. The higher-end Premium and Super Premium models appear to have been dropped from the lineup, as have the base Standard trims.
Changes to the eight-year old model are largely cosmetic in nature – all models now get 16-inch alloy wheels as standard, with the Executive getting silver ten-spoke items from the previous Premium and Super Premium variants, and the Executive Plus gaining more intricate two-tone rollers from the Inspira. There’s also a new Ruby Red colour option as seen on the Perdana.
Other revisions include the new Proton logo, smoked headlights, a gloss black front grille and rear tailgate strip and a body-coloured rear valence for the Executive model. The Executive Plus is differentiated by further application of gloss black on the door mirror caps, roof, rear spoiler and tailgate (mirroring the also-revised Iriz), LED daytime running lights, a matte grey body kit, black pillar appliqués, door strips and a rear fog light.
Inside, you’ll find new patterned plastic trim on the centre console and gearlever surround, along with a new centre strip for the leather upholstery – both are exclusive to the Executive Plus. Standard kit includes fabric seats, a radio/CD player with Bluetooth connectivity, four speakers, a reverse camera, second- and third-row air vents and a new USB port on the floor console.
Stepping up to the Executive Plus throws in power-folding door mirrors, the aforementioned leather seats, a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, front seat armrests, cruise control, a rear DVD player with a nine-inch overhead monitor and window tint. The Exora also should get the same noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) upgrades as the Iriz.
Safety-wise, all models get dual airbags and ABS with EBD, with the Executive Plus model also receiving stability control. Unfortunately, it appears that side airbags, previously offered on the Premium and Super Premium models, can no longer be had on the Exora.

When MY pipu prefer low prices over safety, this is what we get.
Better for Geely to take over the remaining 51% of Proton because Proton has no Malaysian element in them. They don’t care for the rakyat.
Proton was created to help the Malaysian people. Because of Proton, all cars went up 10X in price the past 25 years when the same cars overseas only DOUBLED in price the past 25 years.
So, we Malaysians have suffered enough carrying the burden of Proton.
Rakyat suffer with high car prices for 30 years, the least Proton should do is to give us a safe Exora. 2 airbags is suicide. And no VSC in basic model is suicide also
ehhh kau ni apa hal, kau fikir kalau proton tak ada , keta import tak mahal lah? hbis tu camna kerajaan nak dpt duit ? kau tengok la singapore je kan senang. keta mahal gila jahanam. adoihhhhh, entah apa2 budak sekarang ni kejadahnya . beli vios mahal2 , apa2 toyota pun , sekalinya airbag ada 2 je. adoii. ntah apa2 rakyat malaysia sekarang ni. dorang ni kalau beli keta , tengok jenama. bukan pakai otak. kebanyakannya kalau pakai honda, toyota, mercedes , atau apa2 je lah mahal, dorang merasakan yg diri atau pun keturunannya tu hebat. woi sedar2 lah besok lusa kau meninggal , kau naik van jenazah juga. takda airbag, takda vsc. ada cangkul je
tokmoh sila komen. we all thought since geely came on board proton will follow volvo but clearly now they are going in the opposite direction.
In overseas, car price cheap but comes with 6 airbags and ESC. How they can do this?
My pipu also want lower prices with more airbags from our National Car company
Removing airbags is a stupid move. Kills the budget family appeal. Happy I got my premium before they dropped them.
OMG protong is now even worse with geeli on board.
Betui john. Cukurr la ckit MY aman..minyak turun.
dulu iriz dan preve airbag ada 6 kau bising sebab harga mahal, pastu bila proton cabut airbag sebab nak bagi kau harga murah pun kau bising juga . adoihhhhh, entah apa2 budak sekarang ni kejadahnya . belum lagi masa dulu, beli vios mahal2 , apa2 toyota pun , sekalinya airbag ada 2 je. adoii. ntah apa2 rakyat malaysia sekarang ni. dorang ni kalau beli keta , tengok jenama. bukan pakai otak. kebanyakannya kalau pakai honda, toyota, mercedes , atau apa2 je lah mahal, dorang merasakan yg diri atau pun keturunannya tu hebat. woi sedar2 lah besok lusa kau meninggal , kau naik van jenazah juga. takda airbag, takda vsc. ada cangkul je
they can put 10 airbags but it function or not when it needs.
Eh, persona got 6 airbags + ESC what?
Eh, who cares no1 buying..
Eh, then why asked p1. Otak letak kat lutut?
The new cars on the road dun agree with u…
Actually most Malaysian driver no need seat belt, airbag, left right indicator and side mirror.. should become an option to make car cheaper..
That is well known brand Perodua, apa pun tak ada tapi mahal
Malaysian lives not important Proton? Now further cutting airbags?
Pls think about our lives. Proton bosses, none of them use Proton cars. In their home porch cannot even see a single Proton. So they dont know about our lives
At least this car has airbag and esc as standard
P1 help control overpopulation so no problemo
Side airbag removed? Ok lah, considering the main threat is when the car caught fire suddenly.
Still ok lah, janji rear axle dun fly somewhere else.
Deswai pipu pick Sienta.
Toyota gips top safety.
Sienta means sempit in malay
But it has lousy specs. For same same price, pipu either go for BRV or Freed.
If spec is really a deciding factor, people would have bought Proton la.
Itu sebab owner exora tu isi minyak lebih dari kapasitinya. Sebab tu la keta exoranya terbakar. Alza rear axle tercabut apasal ? Perodua tak ngaku lagi tuh fuhhh. Atleast proton ambil berat. Jangan mcm perodua, dorang rasa dorang hebat la tu jual 1 million myvi
No VCS in basic models? Only most expensive got VSC?
But Malaysian Government announced that if all cars had VSC, 45% of accidents and deaths can be PREVENTED in any given year.
That means, if there are 10,000 deaths in 2016, we could have 4500 lives.
With this in mind, Proton cannot give VSC in Exora basic models? Aren’t you Malaysian car for Malaysian people?
Tak sayang rakyat kah? Rakyat bail you guys out berpuluh BILLION and yet you cannot give us BASIC safety?
From bad to worse, this is how M’sians being treated. We can elect our future without them. Change
Dun understand. U elect ur cars?
According to bashers, why we need basic safety when we dun even care if rear axles flies off the competitor car?
aes is the solution.. can collect summon.. can get more money
very powerful mpv! sat once in it otw to klia, when driver doing hard acceleration we can feel our upper and lower body press against the seat! zoom zoom!
Dinosaurs mend to be in museums.
U talking about avanza?
Campro from 2004.
You just missed campro turbo and VVT then
Atleast proton ada enjin sendiri. Tak mcm produa, dah la tak reti buat enjin, rear axle tercabut pastu tak mengaku lagi tuh fuhh
Ok, Avanza and Exora both sama-sama dinosaur. So you know 2 dinosaurs do not make a tiger.
Exora still has ESC & comfy suspension & sit last row no need chop off legs. Avanza mana?
Why remove the side airbags?
Macai cakap ini arahan geely..uwkwkwkw
No la. Basher should say it, bukan supporter!
Reduce airbags? That’s worse than toyota
Yes. Toyota just removes the ESC.
Proton, the chinese sellout.
Perodua, the japanese sellout.
Pick yo’ poison.
Hahaha you dun know many overlord car features here have been cut and overpriced kah? That’s even worse
who needs side airbags anyway.
Where those fake news speader claim P1 gip good safety specs ?!!
name me 1 time people got saved by side airbags when accident. nope….not a single 1. side airbags dont save people…brains do.
wow spending money to buy a 90’s interior.. kek!
Errr why is it 90’s?
U just think about the interior . but u don’t think how useful this car compared to the avanza
And livina , alza . exora almost closer to innova but with far different price
Throw away the side airbags for bodykits. Lol proton seriously…
yeah, Nissan does this all the time too
What the… proton is taking advantage of honda brv sales with just 2 airbags and now apply it to the exora
Which dumbfak decided to cut the side airbags?!!! VSC should be standard to all too, come on la. If liddis, better not launch new variant, just continue previous variant is nothing wrong.
People always complain here complain there not enough airbag and all.
Suddenly wild Potong appeared, I don’t know which genius decided to attract more complains by removing side airbags. Complain Seeker Award goes to P1. They truly deserve this award.
Going against the tenet of Geely family – safety first. Big brother Volvo am disappoint.
A huge disgrace, and to happen just when Proton joins the family, absolutely unforgivable!
While full spec Perodua Alza equip with 7 inch touch screen for audio system. This thing still use conventional double din.OMG
Just aftermarket it. RM2k-3k over the course of 4-5 years.
9″ overhead monitor at 2nd row, you tarak baca?
Does alza comes with ESC? Oh wait, it dun even comes with rear axles…
Why so many comments, just dont buy la.
Wait for new Geely model with Volvo technology.
Old protons throw away loh
No side airbags mean higher insurance premium maaaaa
as time goes by we will upgrade not downgrade
Proton should consider to replace this exora. otherwise, proton will go back like saga/wira era.
As usual, p1 is moving backward
Still cannot beat VSCless vios with ancient engine and gearbox for GENS! Oh wait, myvi and alza…….
Jonathan, you forgot to mention that this latest model has an improved NVH package compared to the previous iteration
Is NVH really important than extra airbags + other bells & whistles?
Just increase the speakers from 4 to at least 6 for better sound system, then NVH can be ignored.
Name one company that initially released a car with more airbags then updated it with less airbags? Zilch!
OCH sudah ok ka? And one more thing Proton, please do check-ups on the EB ABS sensors…mine has gone kaput 3 times already…:(
When safety and price becomes mutually exclusive, PROBLEM!
Congrats to P1 for flogging an 8-year old model with largely cosmetic & deleting side airbags for the top models too. Is this how P1 using the tax $$$ to push off “old stocks”??
For goodness sake, most car company would have change to a NEW model by 5/6 years. P1 must think Malaysian are stupid?!
Keyword : Geely
Proton has been doing many good things lately with regards to safety. The child seat promotion comes to mind.
So I am truly baffled as to why Proton didn’t think of making four airbags or ESC (or both) standard in the 2017 Exora. Since the 2016 Premium already had both 4 airbags and ESC, why can’t the 2017 Executive Plus have both too ? At least, the 2017 Executive Plus has ESC, but that is ‘to be expected’ in almost every range-topping model on sale today.
With this latest update, Proton can no longer market the Exora as a 4-star ANCAP (not ASEAN NCAP) car, since all ANCAP versions have 4 airbags and ESC.
The Exora is supposed to be a family MPV. So why, Proton ? Just… WHY ?
Sometimes, Proton makes really stupid decisions for no obvious reason. This is a classic case. Now bashers and haters will use this opportunity to counter any argument on whether or not Proton REALLY cares about ‘affordable safety’ as their main USP.
Malaysians are not stupid, Proton. And don’t take your supporters for granted. Just because you have Geely on your side now, don’t think you can get away with things like this in the future. Proton cannot afford to make any more blunders. Please. Okay ?
We all want to see Proton keep on improving. That is why we’re so harsh on Proton. That’s all there is to it. No hate, just tough love.
Why be baffled? Proton have been like that for ages. Always goes one step forward and then reverse back ten times over.
Ten times? But the airbag reduced only 1
Unforgivable. ABSOLUTELY UNFORGIVABLE!!!
THE MOST SACRILEGIOUS ACT ONE CAN COMMIT IN THE GEELY FAMILY!!
To the idiots that decided to remove the airbags and not make VSC standard, you’re a huge disgrace unfit to hold your position. Shame on you all, TRAITORS!!!
very soon this car will get classic car status!
Dude, you dont make a revision to a model by removing airbags. this is going backwards, someone tell Proton
Sold mine 2 years after buying new !
Bad Experience !
NVH Is BAD !
Sluggish Overtsking with 6 passengers even with 205nM Torque
Lagging when Accelerating !
Fuel Consumption Will Kill You !
In Car Audio System is Terrible !
No Re-Sale value !
Just 2 years? Trade in how much?
Nampak sgt tipu
Oi. Nampak sangat nipunye . ak pakai exora . ak tau la . paling menipu bab enjin cfe lembab tu. Pasal sound system tu pun sangat menipu . kepada semua rakyat malaysia, ketahuilah sound system proton sedap. Walaupun hanya berbekalkan radio biasa , tapi sound system exora ak lagi sedap drpd sound system toyota rush 96k ipar aku, fortuner boss aku, dan innova office saya .
rather have an exora without the ‘added value bodykit’ if it comes with vsc and airbags.
it’s not about how pretty it looks these days.
Proton are you drunk or what?? This is sub 80k MPV not a budget car like saga. This is for family. I know this car is not engineered with curtain airbag but seroiusly why they took out the side airbag and ESC is only for the top spec only?? Why why why?? This make BRV look good althought different segment
I am considering this MPV and Honda BRV. Both are within our family budget. I am OK with the new styling but perturbed by the fact that they reduced the airbags.
However, the more expansive Honda BRV also gets only 2 airbags?
Exora does not have ISOFIX while Honda BRV has 2 isofix..
Hi,
Depend on your lifestyle and number of family members. I suggest u test both.
Exora is much bigger in term of interior and body size. Spec-wise, Exora wins hands down – turbo.. 4-disc.. front armrest.. rear dvd screen.. a/c vent for every one.. auto cruise.
Just traded our 8-yrs old Exora CPS H-Line for BR-V. Nothing wrong with our Exora.. me & wife just got bored. It turn out we do not need the the space that much nowadays. Plus quite underpowered for city use.. but quite a runner in highways. Current Exora CFE solved that problem very much.
Believe it or not, we actually contemplated to trade our old Exora with new Exora!
Awesome. Thanks for the response. Just went to Nissan today and found out that the much more expensive XTrail also only has 2 airbags. People if want to bash, go to nissan xtrail also and bash. Hehe
Expected comes with touch screen head unit with navigation, projector headlights with DRL, 17 inch alloy rims, 6 airbags. BUT they removed the side airbags?? Not sure boleh laku ke takk.
its unusual for car manufacturers to remove safety features in ‘revised’ models….
Then again, this is proton…
Belambak jepunis overlord cars been removed safety features when coming here you tak bash pulak. Oh wait, overlords of course you dun persoaled
Topkek
Ha3. Apasal remove 2 airbag. Pelik strategi proton. Pntg kan make up bndg safety. Dah mcm produa
At least bg la option utk upgrade safety – ESC (utk executive) + extra airbag utk executive plus. So sapa yg bhajat boleh add on
Not impressed at all..things any fanboy can do at accessories shops..exora could be great..exteriorly i expect they change the headlamps design and rear lamp design to make it less bulbous..interiorly they can change the dashboard..this is outdated design..proton is simply Lazy..a lot of money has been pump..none shown in final product..wherw the money has gine?
You think other companies gip different dashboard design everytime? Even BMW gip same design for donkey years
I thought for Exora, Proton were supposed to increase airbags from 4 to 6, from manual air cond to automatic air cond, form 2-DIN Clarion audio player to touch screen Android Auto/ Apple Carplay/ Mirrorlink enabled audio player with navigation etc. & sell below RM85k (cheaper than the lower segment Honda BRV). In my dreams. BOOO TO PROTON!
Even got you dun buy pun
This is a sign that this new variant will be the last iteration before the new generation MPV will be rolled out.
Similar things has happened in the past. Remember the last iteration of the previous Saga FLX, dubbed Saga Plus where ABS was removed leaving only 2 airbags as the safety feature? Saga Plus was the last variant to be sold before Proton rolled out the new (now current) Saga
Clearing the massive 2015/2016 stock pile of unsold units left to rot under the rain & sun.
Geely takeover still in transition period so P1 management all hilang akal & would resort to these desperate measures.
P1 will lead a slow & painful death if P1 management still decides to maintain the current dead wood and over bloated work force.
Volvo Msia is here to stay & will only allow P1 Tg Malim plant to assemble it’s remnants & on consignment basis. So time to chop your excess staff and maintain a lean work force.
Statistics from crash report shows we actually don’t need turn signals as we use them only when driving in the rain as hazard lights. High bean are for flashing from the rear so we should remove them as well. IMO we need self driving cars as most are just incapable of common sense.
This car is sooo outdated…….Why recycled such car?? Just let this car go die naturally.
Besides, Taxi drivers using this car as Taxi at KLIA. Damn malu to drive Exora now….huhuhuhuhu..
Yeah, and in Europe, your E-class and Beamers are all cabs. Snob Jing
oi vios dah brapa tahun pakai enjin yg sama , ipsun?estima? wish? fortuner ? landcruiser ? semua kena recycle je pun. paling ak tak tahan, dashboard innova( not the new one), fortuner dan hilux semua pakai dashboard yg sama cuma tukar warna . bahalol designer dah tak da idea lain
Of course you malu you snobbish fool! Your Mercs, BMWs and Audis are cabs all over Europe. Sekolah tinggi tinggi tapi bodoh. Haihhh…
Side airbags no longer available??? Oh, good job between Proton and geely. Back to the Paleolithic era. Geely will pelingkup Proton yang already nyawa ikan.
