Production of the Proton Exora came to an end last week after a 14-year run, and while the carmaker has yet to reveal if the nameplate will live on for another generation, Saharudin Design has already created a design proposal for the next Exora.
The vehicle being presented in digital form retains the MPV’s familiar profile, but with modern cues like C-shaped daytime running lights surrounding the main headlamp, while the fog lamps are positioned further down.
A large panel with the Proton logo takes the place of the grille, joined by a lower intake with a mesh featuring diamond-shaped studs (like on the X90) – this is visually linked to the fog lamp enclosures by way of black trim.
Other notable design elements include vents at the top of bonnet, a sleeker and lower roofline as well as large wheels. You’ll also notice the small “fin” on the C-pillar that emphasises the “floating roof” look and thin, recessed door handles.
The rear three-quarter view clearly shows the Saharudin Design Exora’s strong creases and pronounced wheel arches, although the shoulder line appears to be different from this angle. As with the front, the taillights are also C-shaped, and they extend further into the tailgate to form an “X” together with the lines trailing from the reflectors. Undoubtedly, the rear is where the design proposal is the most striking.
What do you think of this next-generation Exora by Saharudin Design? Does it fit in with the rest of Proton’s current line-up of models? Let us know what you think of the design proposal in the comments below.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Looks very… Renault.
Not good.
Rindu old job at Proton is it brother Saharudin? Waja ugly triangle nose, was that you? Yuck.
A direct copy cat of Alfa Romeo 146 too. What A Shame.
Always suffer from the ugly butt design syndrome.
Good effort! but not so nice to me, no break thru, still look like old design
Funny designer, design the front and rear but the two designs are different… Should Proton refer the front or rear design?
saharuddin design ni design dia either nampak macam tak siap, atau overdo. Jarang sangat yang boleh kata OK overall
Design language juga tak konsisten. Dulu ciplak front grill Mercedes big logo acah2 konnti style. Design buntut selalu gagal macam dijangkit virus Savvy. Entah ape2 punya designer. Sebijik macam local Proton designers yg gagal. Patutlah sales tak laku jer.
Exactly!
Anyone still remembers the Proton Lekiu , then the rebadge Lotus Proton Lekir, Proton Tuah, Proton Kasturi, Proton Jebat, Proton EMAS all back in 2010 then the downfall comes to feed suppliers more and more.
This is what Major Face-lift should look like. It’s still the same shape means still the same chassis.
design is worst than the existing exora.
I would love to see all of you make your own design…..
I seriously doubt there is a place in Proton’s lineup for a new Exora. Unless, proton can find a slot somewhere between 80-100k for another MPV. The long discuss Geely Jiayi probably wont see the light of day as a Proton model despite countless teasers.
The x90 has taken over the role. Its just an MPV in a SUV frock.
Bro, just take a car from Geely and change the bumper to add some “Malayness”, then sell cheaply… should be good enough.
Nah, the shape has served its time. Even MPV’s are looking SUV-ish nowadays, we put this design to rest
Nice modern design. Too bad Proton no longer produces home grown model by depending solely on Geely for rebatch models. Design wise, don’t expect more than a grill makeover.
Look like elongated X50
So X50 spawned S70, this one, and S70 Aeroback, S70 3 doors, limosine just like Wira use to.
shaharudin design ?
funded by old 90 year old donkey kot ?
studied donkey college ?
what a donkey design ?
donkey tak laku
hilang deposit
donkey design lagi tak laku
Poor design. No cohesion. Front, rear and sides don’t flow harmonically with each other. It’s like three separate design teams worked on these three elements and a project manager combined them into a single design.
Hopefully the interior is also updated and improved.
Really topkek design.. typical Malaysian designer.
Good effort, Saha tapi biarlah panjang kereta menyeluruh cecah 4.7m dengan memanjangkan sikit lagi buntut desain Exora kamu….
How much can my BMW 318i fetch?
Car registered in 2019 and free servising and warranty until June 2025. One owner driver.
Saharuddin must create a design like the new alphard or vellfire to suit the taste of Malaysians
Mcm Exora kne suap dgn agent orange je ni. Apepun ok la kreatif dia ni. Blh propose dlm mimpi design2 ni. Actual mmg jauh panggang dari api. So mentah je la.
Looks good, hopefully the interior space is not compromised and should be well insulated. Apart from that, engine/transmission should also improve and increase bhp otherwise, might as well go car accessories shop bolt on the aftermarket bumpers and side skirts.
The height of the underbody to the ground is too low for Malaysian roads. Too many potholes and humps.
Maybe it’s time to stop wasting rakyat money to cover lost cost infuture.. all rebadge.. follow Singapore or Saudi.. no need rebadge.. lower tax safer car
Of course very acceptable design… Hopefully this design will upgrade its practicality as well… fit for 8 people (8-seater version with 2-3-3 seating configuration like Innova).
Hell nah
Tajuk berita tak sesuai.. design??? ..Jika tajuk “makeup” Baru ok
Proposal? He does not work for neither Proton nor Geely. Proton doesnt have in-house studio?
Let it go…….
Sumpah buruk. Is he really a designer?
Really nice but still resembles the old body design. This is more than just a facelift really. We need something fresh. Something salad with lemon zest on top, an entirely new design that blends with today’s trend.
Still better than subi design
The design of the 2024 Exora is very nice & quite ahead of the current lineup of proton cars. If the price is right, I believe this one should arouse much interest.
Semoga proposal Saharudin Design dipilih.
Berbangga dgn org melayu
this is good only for major change or facelift not for the new model for exora.
design ni nice sgt utk new Exora. nmpk lebih uptodate. berbeza design² kebiasaan proton (bukan dr geely),nmpak kosong,tandus idea,simple & bosan. but sy still sokong proton atas dasar patriotisme. design mcm ni sure boleh catchup market utk budget mpv baru bawah rm100k,klau boleh maintain range harga Exora,jgn lajak jauh. jgn over mcm X90,susah nak jual kat rakyat malaysia. yg kecam design tu nmpk personal,kotor hati,pdhal sndiri x boleh buat lg better. pui
Proton n Produa can think out of box for design the MPV type more than 7 seater. Too many 7 seater vehicles in market. Try challenge Kia Carnival
Harap harga rahmah..
Good work Saharuddin..keep it voque…AI mpv
Good work Saharuddin..keep it voque…AI mpv
Proton is always has issue, if the frong pretty, the back will be ugly, hmmm
I really don’t like the back side….
The nose of the face should be lifted up a bit. Looks like meta knight, kirby’s rival . Honestly the current exora we have right now is well designed that creating concepts could get more negative reactions. I like to see only slightly different changes to the design. Approach to it like the way VW did it with golf. From 2005 onwards, there were slight alterations when new ones were coming in, but the body structure looked very much the same. Passat as well. From 2006 to 2012. At least do some work on the interior cabin of the exora to make it very appealing and inviting. That might need some serious makeover very much. It needs a more luxurious look. It should feel nice to be inside when travellibg long distance. Work on that please. The current version is starting to look a little dull to me. Nevermind if its more expensive. Make the cabin space bigger please.
New Exora should come with new engine design, more powerful probably could utilize EVO10 engine & powertrain with paddleshift, more robust complete with engine and drive control management.
nahhh the rear looks cursed
Yg komen dalam ni semua hebat² nampaknya. Try submit design korg nk tgk. Meh pakat² komen n kondem..
