In this video review, Hafriz Shah goes behind the wheel of the newly-updated Proton Exora RC to find the long-running MPV’s strengths and weaknesses. Prices start from RM59,800 for the Executive model to RM66,800 for the Premium.

To recap, the C-segment MPV becomes the latest recipient of the seven-inch touchscreen head unit based on Geely’s Global Key User Interface (GKUI), with “Hi Proton” voice commands and 4G internet connection via an eSIM (1GB free data per month for five years).

It’s similar to the system that’s on the X70 SUV, with functions such as online music streaming, live navigation, smartphone connectivity, mirroring for Android and WiFi hotspot, among other things.

Elsewhere, there’s a new piano black centre stack with a silver bezel, two USB ports below that (in front of the cubbies), new semi-leatherette seat upholstery with quilted pattern (extends to the door cards), and a brand new exterior colour called Rosewood Maroon. Watch the video and let us know what you think of the affordable seven-seater family car!

Verdict
Proton Exora RC
3.5 / 5

The 2019 Proton Exora RC offers modern touches like a new infotainment screen and improved throttle response, but its CVT still exhibits old-school characteristics and some interior parts feel dated.
