exora manual test driveYup, we got to drive a pair of Exoras, both the same colour but taped up in the typical black disguise that you’ve seen countless of times on the spyshots featured on this site. The first half of my journey was in the manual model while the 2nd half was in the automatic model. The next would be whether it is spacious inside and comfortable. I will quickly answer these concerns. Bear in mind all of my testing was done with between 6 to 7 people on-board, so I don’t know how the car performs with only 2-3 people in it. I would assume it would be so much better. Comparing kerb weights, you can actually predict that an Exora with only the driver in it would probably feel like a Waja with 4 people in it? It is only the Satria Neo CPS which has different CPS activation timing. It produces 125 horsepower at 6,500rpm (7,000rpm redline) and 150Nm of torque at 4,500rpm. I am sure there is still some improvements that can be squeezed out here as a competitor engine can churn out 160Nm of twisting power from a normally aspirated 1.6 litre and the CPS is a long stroke engine which means it should be able to be quite torquey by nature.With the automatic transmission, it is best described as being just enough to move the car, and you can feel the engine being worked really hard to move the MPV, which was loaded up with 7 people. With a kerb weight of 1,380kg, adding all the passengers brings it close to its gross vehicle weight of over 1,900kg. It is seriously no mean feat. Every dip and peak in the curve can be felt because the pace of the MPV’s acceleration depends on every single Newton meter that the engine can churn out. Proton’s famous air conditioning compressor which works great but seems to sap plenty of engine power can already be felt in cars like the GEN2 CPS, but it is even more prominent in this car, slowing things down considerably when it kicks in. Not so much in the manual version but it’s quite bad in the auto on even a slight incline.http://anaheimmachining.com/admin/images/edge-3-tremolo-manual.xml

Once it gets going and the Campro engine is in its powerband, things get going sufficiently. I won’t go to the extent of describing it as swift or any similiar words, but I think perhaps 80 of the time and an majority percentage of situations, the Exora has enough power. Most Genting slopes can be taken with 2nd gear in the manual if you have enough momentum, with only the steepest requiring a shift to 1st gear. Mind you, this is according to a Proton engineer as we didn’t climb Genting in our drive. The auto is a little more lethargic and there was one occasion on an incline where it felt really sluggy because I had the pedal to the metal and there was room to do a downshift but it did not. Perhaps there is still some work and finetuning to be done on the TCU. Had to manually downshift via the auto’s gate shifter. Stay out of the fast lane because if you change lanes to overtake, it’s going to take a long time and you might annoy the hell out of cars coming up behind you. I personally drive a car that is quite underpowered as well and for slow and comfortable driving you won’t have issues with the Exora. Also you have to be careful when trying to get across busy crossjunctions or enter busy roundabouts, I foresee that might be a problem with the auto. These high speeds can be sustained easily, it is only when you slow down and try to climb back up to those speeds where it takes a long time. Typical Campro and Campro CPS, only shines at the top end, which is why I feel turbocharging with a low pressure turbo will do wonders for it. It was very loud at high revs approaching the 7,000rpm redline and its boom echoed throughout the interior, but there was not much vibration, something that many current CPS-equipped car owners experience when they send their rev needles to the redline, especially in the Satria Neo. And the engine is pretty docile at regular highway cruise speeds. It’s quite quiet actually.http://eastnwest-usa.com/userfiles/edge-288r-recumbent-exercise-bike-manual.xml Conversations can be carried out all the way form the front row to the third row without having to raise voices. That is a sign of some pretty impressive sound proofing and NVH optimisation. Like I mentioned before, the only time the cabin seemed overwhelmed with noise is when the Campro CPS is near the redline. Then you get the boom and blare. It isn’t set too low in the interior. Had no complaints about it so I guess it is at a proper proportionate height. The gear shifter is raised and is very near to the steering wheel so it’s pretty easy to reach for whenever you need to shift gears. The speedo is easy to read and done in white and red. It displayed data but was incorrect, with consumption numbers (in litres per 100km) being excessively low most of the time. A Proton engineer told me the prototype car had an old version of some software update and had not been flashed to the latest version yet so the calibration for the instant fuel consumption readout was all wrong. I have a miff with the way you get the meter to display but I will cover this in a later story. It isn’t too far away. Near enough for me to have a comfortable and firm grip. The seat could be pushed back as far as I required (I am 182cm tall) and I even tried pushing it completely to the rear, but there was still a seriously large amount of legroom in the 2nd row. The driver’s seat was slightly elevated and offers a SUV-like commanding view of what’s ahead. I didn’t dare speed further than that actually as there were 6 other people in the MPV with me, I didn’t want to risk anything. It was precise too, pointing the nose of the car exactly where you expect it to go. No complaints about the brakes and there was also minimal brake dive. The Exora can be ever slightly floaty at times depending on how undulating the terrain is but I found that I only felt this as the driver, didn’t notice it as a passenger. As usual, the Proton boys have got the car’s ride and handling close to perfect.https://formations.fondationmironroyer.com/en/node/14156 One of the most impressive things about the MPV is the fact that the third row felt as chill as the 1st or 2nd row, just that it has less space. At this price level or even much more expensive than the RM70k to RM80k that the Exora is expected to be priced at, you usually get a third row that is quite uncomfortable when the vehicle is on the go, because of its position right over the vehicle’s rear axle. It’s usually quite bumpy and headroom is sometimes limited. The Exora trumps all its competition at this. When the Proton Exora travels over an irreguliarity in the road such as the usual place where 2 different pieces of an elevated highway joins together during a corner, the rear end of the car remained composed and calm. Other MPVs would swing and bounce around, creating discomfort for the third row. There are air cond vents for all 3 rows, and the rear rows get its own dedicated blower located in the space above the rear left wheel. The fuel filler is on the other side of course. The rear ceiling vents also have their own blower speed control mounted on the ceiling. Air conditioning for 2nd and 3rd rows is really best in class and the vent angles can be adjusted easily. As previously mentioned, there is plenty of second row space. Both the 2nd and 3rd row have the ability to have their seat recline adjusted. The third row backrest and seat angle moves together when you adjust its reclining position to maintain a comfortable hip point. For me to fit in the third row requires the 2nd row to be a little more straight up than the optimum comfortable position. That way I can fit comfortably with only the cloth of my pants barely touching the 2nd row seat back. There is also plenty of headroom for all 3 rows. Headroom is seriously aplenty here. It makes it easy to get into the third row as you do not have to bend down too much. The third row is going to be seriously comfortable for kids. With the third row fully reclined, the seatbacks are pretty much very close to the rear glass. Luggage space is limited to the triangular-shaped area between the seatback and the floor, which fits 1 golf bag and a few other small items. If you make the third row seatback a little more straight up, you create more luggage space, but it’s not going to be very comfortable for adults at all. The M-Line also lacks any headrests for the third row so it could touch the rear glass sometimes. But what it can do is tumble-fold completely forwards, creating an empty space in the area where the 2nd row is. This makes it quite easy to get into the third row. The 2nd row seats split 60:40 and the tumbling mechanism can be done independently of each other. As I previously mentioned, there is quite alot of space in the 2nd row. Perhaps some of that space should have been allocated in improving some of the third row space. When I suggested this, a part of the Proton team gave an answer that makes sense somehow. Proton wanted the MPV to feel big, spacious and comfortable. It is the number one selling point for an MPV and an MPV has to do that well for it to be considered a good MPV. Not handle well or outrun a sports car. So what they did was make sure at least 5 out of 7 people in the MPV enjoy a great experience. Not 7 people enjoying a mediocre experience. There are plenty of cupholders and bottleholders, even for the third row. When I asked the engineers about this, the reason given was cost and the lack of regulations requiring ISOFIX points in Malaysia. Personally I feel as a national car company which gets plenty of incentives from the government and is government-owned, safety for the rakyat and future leaders of the nation should be at least given priority. Not just airbags, etc. You harp on the necessity to have seatbelts and force people to wear belts in all seats, so why deny children the safety of a properly fixed child seat. I know this isn’t up to the engineers and decide and from what I know they have no problems implementing this, so it is more of a product planning decision. So what happens during an accident or harsh braking. Your child might just fly together with the misfixed seat. When even the Satria Neo has ISOFIX points, why not in the Exora. Cost, how much can ISOFIX points cost. RM50 to RM100 per point. A maximum of RM500 per car, with overly inflated costs for 2 ISOFIX-equipped seats in the 2nd row. Couldn’t scrapping some of your Corporate Social Responsibility programs cover the cost of proper ISOFIX points in your Exora. Spend the money on your real customers instead of others! Proton should be proactive in taking this step. Malaysians are not educated on such safety features. Do your part in educating them. Perhaps in your focus group studies for the Exora, none of the potential customers asked for ISOFIX points because they don’t even know what ISOFIX is. That is no reason for you to omit them. Put them in and educate them. Don’t be penny-wise pound-foolish. The good PR from this will be valuable, more than the cost of the points themselves. Really good child seats with ISOFIX support can be expensive. Package them together with your hire purchase loans for families to be able to afford them. Showing that you are concerned about your customers will do wonders for your image. Then move on later to more than just 2 front airbags, and perhaps some form of stability and traction control. Dual SRS airbags should really be made standard.It’s got best in class interior room and can be compared to vehicles that are on class above. It can move a whole family along in comfort, just that it is slow in getting moving. I know it sounds like I’m making excuses for Proton but from my own personal driving experience there were only certain times when I felt it was underpowered. Given that most of our drive was on the highway, most of the situation we only had to get up to cruising speed once and the Exora maintained its speed well. It’s just too bad that Proton has no powerful engine to put in it at this point and has to compromise with the Campro CPS as the sole option. It’s fine as a very baseline engine but it really cannot be the only option. Hope that’s fixed with the Campro Turbo. In fact these are only the very few things that I have to complain about, the MPV does its MPV duties really well and I am impressed at how Proton engineers really got it right the first time. We weren’t allowed to use any photos actually and had to get photos approved on a case by case and photo by photo basis with justification. Whatever photos I justified using are already in this story. I must thank Proton especially their corp comm team and engineers for organising a well-planned and extremely informative test drive session.With an increasing number of readers paying rapt attention to the motoring stories, one thing led to another and the rest, as they say, is history.

The price difference between Exora Manual Standard vs Manual Bold is more than 10k. They are of same engine right so why so expensive.Well i like the new design but later on the net i see Exora Standard have similar tail light design.The price difference between Exora Manual Standard vs Manual Bold is more than 10k.

So i guess it does justify the price here. Will be making a booking for Manual Executive Bold soon:-) The only gripe is it was 4k cheaper last month January:-(.

It offers running changes that includes improved components and a touchscreen infotainment system similar to the units in the 2019 revised Proton Persona and Iriz. The national carmaker’s seven-seat MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) is priced on-the-road without insurance at RM59,800 (Exora 1.6T Executive) and RM66,800 (Exora 1.6T Premium). Both the Exora variants get new stuff like a shark fin antenna for a sportier look, a meter cluster, and a borderless rear view mirror. The Exora now has two USB ports and a 12V power socket, while Rosewood Maroon is also a new colour option. Also standard on the Exora is a four-speaker audio system with Bluetooth, two airbags, and Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD). READ MORE: New Proton Exora launched Only the Exora Premium gets a 7-inch touchscreen display with voice command, and an embedded eSIM card and apps for music streaming, online navigation and weather updates as well as smartphone connectivity and a mirror function for Android devices. Extra kit on the Exora Premium include steering wheel audio switches, cruise control, semi leatherette seats, front row seat armrests, powered folding wing mirrors, daytime running lights and rear fog lamps. The Exora is still powered by a 1.6-litre Campro VVT turbocharged engine with 140ps and 205Nm of torque, which is mated to CVT (continuously variable transmission). However, Proton vehicle programme executive (engineering and technical) Gao Feng, seconded from Geely Auto, said the powertrain in the Exora was re-calibrated for a smoother drive and improvements were also made for lower NVH (noise, vibration and harshness). So what's the drive like. For the motoring media, Proton organised a 83km drive from Proton Centre of Excellence, Shah Alam to Bukit Tinggi resort in the 2019 revised Exora. All the test drive units were the Premium variant fitted with the new touchscreen infotainment system. We had three adults in the car and there was plenty of grunt when we stepped hard on the accelerator pedal on the uphill highway streches. The Exora never felt underpowered and power delivery was linear and responsive. The Exora felt planted on the winding and curvy highway, and also tackled the twisty, hilly road with sure-footed composure when we made the steep ascent up to the resort. It left our editor with a positive first impression but will the extended time spent with it on local roads change those good vibes? Ranks are in ascending order. The higher the points, the higher the rank. First Impression: First thing I realised is that the interior is super spacious and with that I was in disbelief that it was powered by a 1.6L engine. Driving It: Of course the MPV is taller than the sedan but I find it easy to get in and out of the vehicle (I am around 1.7m). However, it could be an issue for the elderly as it is rather high and my Grandma will struggle to pull herself in as the seats are rather high for her. With a taller vehicle, driving is different from a Sedan. The seats are comfortable but turns can be felt rather easily compared to the snug seats from a Vios and of course a lower vehicle which makes it more stable. Nevertheless, taking turns are not too bad but of course. Being an MPV, one has to be mindful that turns must be taken at a slower speed. Engine response is good and if you floor the accelerator, it does pick up reasonably. On the contrary, with its heavy body. You would definitely know that the faster you pick up speed, the more your fuel consumption will be. The auto transmission is a 4 speed transmission which can be an issue if you are trying to overtake or pick up speed. However, with a quick hard step on the accelerator, you are able to drop a gear and the engine will roar to give you that additional power (Which might seem inadequate if you are on a load of 5 people) Fuel Economy: Indeed, fuel consumption is an area that the car could improve on. A refill of 50 L could bring you to around 450km - 500km. (Full tank is 55L). This is far from what is mentioned on the meter of 602km-622km of distance left (which I believe is an estimation based on highway driving). Overall: It's good for those who wants a sturdy car but not for those who are looking for speed. But hey. That's what MPVs are for. Transport people from one place to the other. Safely. What I like - High driving style - Spacious interior - Rear Air con for passengers - Seats can be folded down to load more items What I do not like - Fuel consumption - Plastic grey interior - Rather hard seats - Swapped sticks (Left Signal, Right Wiper) Ranks are in ascending order. The higher the points, the higher the rank. I was amaze at the Proton Exore that was driven by my sister in law. The leg room is reasonable compare to Wish or Steam that i have tried. There was 8 of us including 2 kids age 6 year. The rear aircon is also a plus factor. What I like 1. Spacious 2. All row air con ventalation 3. Easy foldable seats 4. Legroom for 3rd row passanger. What I do not like 1. 1.6L engine should have 1.8L or 2.0L 2. Plastic Interior 3. Rim too basic 4. Simple outlook 5. Choice of color Ranks are in ascending order. The higher the points, the higher the rank. What I like Space,reverse cam and comfy for long journey. What I do not like Lack of power full load when car accelerate,Power only kicks in after 1900-2100rpm.Should have use conventional 5 or 6 speed auto rather than cvt.Overall quite happy as I also bought the Preve CFE.My friend go for dyno and quite surprised when the torque can achieve more than 225nm.Its the punch cvt3 gearbox that have restrict to 220nm. Ranks are in ascending order. The higher the points, the higher the rank. It costs much less than WIsh and Stream. Being cheaper doesnt't mean the Exora's quality is below par. I would rate it on par with its competitor. What I like Spaciousness Availabilit of Rear AIrcon Good legroom for 3rd row passengers What I do not like Slow pickup More insulation would be good Ranks are in ascending order. The higher the points, the higher the rank. His car was the previous generation but it was a good car. Took it on the highway and the car was very stable at speed. Back in Singapore I went to look out for a good deal for an Proton Exora. I wanted this new generation but a few months ago COE was high. I decided to look at the second-hand market. I traded in my 2006 Vios for an 2009 Exora. It was a great deal. It was a basic car, which I like, my 2 kids like the car. It was spacious and now we can buy more things in Ikea or Courts. With the 3rd row seats down to me is a good amount of space unlike some people. I installed a touch-screen head unit and a DVD Player mounted on the top of the car. The car is also great for a long journey drive. Drove from Singapore to Ipoh for 6 hours. I have to admit I needed to top-up fuel on the way but only 1 time. The leather seat makes it very comfortable and the high-seat position. I noticed that the car engine was too weak to bring 7 or 8 people. I guess if I was driving from Singapore to KL with 7 or 8 passenger on board I have to stop for petrol for about 2 to 3 times. The Puny 15 inch rims have to go. I change to 18 inch rims with Continental tire. Overall, the car is great for long journey if you are carrying only 4 people including driver and both rear passenger and passenger. The air corn in the car is cold and space is great with the dual glove box. Recommend this car to anyone who is trying to find a cheap good MPV for a cheap price. What I like 1) Leather Seat. 2) Cheap maintenance. 3) High seat position. 4) Good at cornering. 5) Cheap price to buy. 6) Nice for long journey if not more than 6 passenger. 7) Cheap road tax if OPC like my car. 8) A reasonable boot space. 9) Double glove box. 10) Very spacious in car. What I do not like 1) Be better if have more horsepower as it will be smooth with more than 6 passengers int he car. 2) Rival is Honda Stream which has more horsepower and better fuel economy than Exora if carrying a lot of passenger. 3) Be better with a turbo like the new one. And if anyone is planning to buy a Exora Bold get the CFE as it got Turbo. 4) Interior Plastic could be improved 5) Puny 15 inch rims.( Be better if standard have 16 inch) Ranks are in ascending order. The higher the points, the higher the rank. Very stable vehicle with good space. Made few comfortable trips to KL. Trip also include to Genting and Cameroon with 5 members. The seating positions are very comfortable and doesn't feel any tiredness. The lack of power in CPS engine is overcomed by the CFE engine which kicks in Turbo at 2000RPM and with CVT gear box (engine redesigned with the help of Lotus). Able to get 100km for 8.7 to 9.3 liters (based on the Car fuel calculator). Comes in 16in tyres with all Disc brakes. Good room space for 7 members (the 3rd row not for fully grown ups, but better than Toyota Wish or other 1.8 liters). Overall, the Exora CFE(BOLD) is a good all rounder in that category and moreover value for money. What I like The price. The ride in SAT mode. Good Handling. Seating positions and comfortability. Built in Reverse Camera LCD in Rear view. What I do not like The plastic interiors. Average Sound proofing (improved compared to old CPS version). The front design. Ranks are in ascending order. The higher the points, the higher the rank. After A few Hours I Reach there. I went there for a Holiday And waiting my bro to bring me to his home. I waited about Half and Hour which is thirty Minutes. He told me that His Going to drive his Wira. Which He Brought 10years ago. He told me if i can drive his Exora. I Took out all my Bags. My Family Shift in the Exora. Start to On the car. The FC is Good. When i drove 120km in The Exora It was Great That A 1.6A Exora drove 120km With it's Small Tyre. The Car is Stable like my Fiat Punto. I Drove to Kuala Lumpur Which is Quite Far. I Overtook Many Cars. I Even Managed to reach 180km, Decide to Slow down and Stop in One Destination Where i Can Have a Tea. My Siblings came there. I know that 1.6 Is like to Small for Big Seven seat like this. The Car is Great. Even when i'm driving up Genting Highland i don't even need to bring to 3. I Planning to buy it in Singapore, planning to Trade in my 2005 Toyota Camry. Which is Worthless now. People Rather Buy Golf VW. What I like Everything. What I do not like Using Campro engine and The Small Pathetic Tyre. Ranks are in ascending order. The higher the points, the higher the rank. Very pleased with it so far. Driven it up north on full load a couple of times averaging around 8.0l to 8.5l of petrol per 100km. Highly recommended for those who dont want to spend too much on a mpv that has everything, especially space. No regrets getting this car at all. What I like -space -features -stability -price What I do not like NONE. Just need to look pass the badge to love this car. Ranks are in ascending order. The higher the points, the higher the rank. Never regretted. Value for money. Capable of moving on a full load basis with full capacity. Overall full of features. Recommended for all budget conscious buyers who thinking of getting a big family around altogether but with a smaller budget. A good and safe buy from a normal saloon, advisable to get this MPV as the saying goes: ( one size fits all). What I like Everything.My children dont complain anymore unlike my last car the Toy Wish. Some plastic dashboard. Ranks are in ascending order. The higher the points, the higher the rank. After numerous trips with and without passengers i can say i'm very satisfied with the handling, Comfort and performance on the highway. However do take note its not suitable for 7 full grown adults especially those beyond 80kg. The pick up especially 1st and 2nd feel sluggish. I've ever tried 5 adults and 3 kids and the performance is so-so (acceptable) compared to 4 adults and 3 kids (excellent). Cornering is also stable as not much body roll is notice. I loved the interior so spacious and feel like that you are driving 2 litre car. The Technician recommend using only 10W-30 or at least 10W-40 fully synthetic engine oil for better performance and fuel consumption. Gonna change to that after the 2nd service. Probably a good grade of air filters would improve the pick up. Overall i'm very happy with this MPV. Kudos to Proton for the improvement made for the 2010 models. If you're looking into budget mini MPV this is the one you should buy not consider. What I like Interior, Very spacious. Room for in car entertainment like roof mounted dvd, speakers etc. Comfort even for long journey. Travel to Machap with no back strain unlike previous sedan car. Pricing still acceptable even for the booming COE price. Handling for cornering is superb. What I do not like So far nil if yes would be the rims. 16inch for standard is okay for a big body MPV. Ranks are in ascending order. The higher the points, the higher the rank. This is a true FULL SIZE 7 seater. For engine performance, initial move from stall, engine responses, however, as i floor the pedal, the engine somehow no response for few seconds, then followed by gradually and gently accelerate, engine roared similar to diesel van, quiet loud. Handling wise, steering weights adequate, responsive enough, brakes are also grabbing fine, need longer journey to really test out the 'LOTUS TUNED' handling. Interior design ok with reasonably built quality accessories and dial knobs. Good job from Proton. What I like reasonably priced spacious LED lights What I do not like not so easy access to 3rd row still can feel under power.Ranks are in ascending order. The higher the points, the higher the rank. Its quite spacious for a compact MPV i dare say plus all air con is a bonus. On the day itself my mum in law ask me to drive from Larkin to Pontian to attend a thanksgiving feast. The journey was quite smooth with 7 on board including my 78kg bro in law, My wife, My mum in law, My maid and 3 kids. The others such as my sis in law etc in another sedan car. Stop and go with full load require hard works and skills i should say. Accelerate from 1st to 2nd is indeed quite slow (maybe new engine).
