If this is the real thing, and the price is between RM71K to RM76K, I have only 1 word for it. Wow!

It’s true! The Proton Exora picture above is the real thing. Missed the launch yesterday. Did drop by a Proton Edar showroom at 6:30PM, but the car was still covered.

The close encounter was during lunch today. The Exora looks more spacious than other MPVs in its engine class. Even spacier than my 2.0 Citra.

From the front, it looks similar to a Honda, don’t you think?

The Proton Exora, is powered by a 1.6-liter CamPro CPS engine while the transmission is by Mitsubishi. For a MPV that size, not sure how’s the performance. I just hope that it will not be a big letdown like toyota Avanza 1.3. You have to test to find out, but make sure you bring along the whole family.

First impression – for the price between RM69,998 and RM75,998 with good looking exterior design, plus the spacious interior and extended warranty of 175,000km (or five years), this car will be a hot item.

The current Proton Exora price list for the H-Line and the M-Line, effective 15 April 2009, which I got from Proton Edar. The price differences is due to the accessories, and the H-Line comes with a GPS.

This is the interior and exterior differences among Exora CPS, Grand Livina 1.6 and Avanza 1.4. Find a place where you can find a Proton, Nissan and Toyota showroom next to each other, then you will really know the actual differences

Now that you have seen the pictures, head over to your nearest Proton showroom and book one
