April 16th, 2009 | Author: zool

Finally, the time has come. The Malaysia’s first MPV had been launched yesterday. Even though this post is too little too late, but who cares. This Proton Exora will be the benchmark for the auto manufacturers in Malaysia to design another good and cheap car. Yesterday was the history for Malaysia auto industry and we hope for the years to come, the auto manufacturers in Malaysia can produce a supercars like the Ferrari or Lamborghini. Who knows, right?

Like the rumors that was spreading before, the Proton Exora using the 1.6L engine Campro CPS 4 cylinders engine assisting with the DOHC, 16 valves valvetrain. This engine produce the maximum power of 93 kW (125 hp) @ 6500 RPM and maximum torque of 150 N.m @ 4500 RPM. The top speed of the Proton Exora is 165 kph and it can accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in 15.5 seconds.

The Proton Exora focusing on the family car, so the comfort of the passenger is the main target. The suspension system using for the Proton Exora also fill that target. The McPherson strut has been using for the front suspension and the torsion beam has been used for the rear suspension. The usage of the McPherson strut suspension also can reduce the prices of the Proton Exora due to cheap suspension system. The hydraulic power steering has been used to make the handling of the car easier.

The safety system of the Proton Exora also cannot be underestimated. The dual airbags with the pre-tensioner seat belt has been installed in Proton Exora to reduce the possibility of serious injury in the crash or hard braking situation. The anti-lock braking system with EBD (Electronic Brake-Force Distribution) has been installed to ensure the braking system can be properly function when comes to avoiding something. Also, the modern-car features like the central door lock, alarm system and reverse sensor has been added in this Proton Exora.

For Malaysians, this is the part that you really want to know, the prices of the Proton Exora. Take a look at these prices for 2 variants of the Proton Exora.

Proton Exora M-Line Solid: RM69 548
Proton Exora M-Line Metallic: RM69 998
Proton Exora H-Line Solid: RM75 548
Proton Exora H-Line Metallic: RM75 998

Don’t you think it’s affordable for many of the Malaysians that want to taste the feeling of driving a MPV? If you think the price is worth the car, go get it. Alternatively, you can wait until the new Perodua MPV (D46T) launched maybe around this three-quarter year. Right now, just take a look of some of the images of the Proton Exora.
