Proton Exora!
Proton unveils its first MPVClick here and here for a full review of Proton Exora by Anthony Lim and Paul Tan.
KUALA LUMPUR: Proton Holdings Bhd unveiled its first multipurpose vehicle (MPV), the Exora, to the public in a gala event here Wednesday night.
Launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, the 1.6-litre Exora has already received orders of 2,500 units, even before its public unveiling.
The seven-seater -- Proton’s most important model for the year -- also marks the company’s entry into the MPV market, which is growing domestically and regionally.
The Exora is a result of an investment of RM450mil and 18 months of intense in-house research and development, the company said.
It is powered by a 1.6-litre CamPro CPS engine with 125bhp and torque of 150Nm, and is available in a four-speed automatic version, in trim levels of Mid-Line and Hi-Line.
The Mid-Line Exora costs RM69,998 and the Hi-Line variant, RM75,998 for the metallic colours.

ps: I'm not really good in commenting on cars, so I won't say much here but I do think that Exora is somewhat a revolutionary design by Proton.
pps: But on the other hand, I can't help but notice a striking resemblance between Proton Exora and Toyota Wish. Don't you think so?
I'm lovin' my new Persona. :)

The new Exora eventually prove that proton now dare to produce an MPV.
