New White Proton Exora – My Own Review Version
I received this car (my new Proton Exora) on the 25th of May 2009 (Monday). This post is published for the purpose of sharing my experiences as a user of the new Proton Exora. I’m not a technical person (automobile wise) So, my review will be in a simple layman language. For your information, I bought a new solid white colour 1.6 liters M-Line version of Proton Exora for the price RM 69,998. The price of the better version H-Line is RM 75,998.
I’m now a proud owner of the first Malaysia MPV. 100% engineered by Malaysian engineer. I support Malaysia products, Malaysia Boleh!!!
Following will be some short experience sharing of me and my new proton MPV. I’m lucky that my new Proton Exora problems have not appeared yet at this moment.
Chronology:
Monday (25/6/09): Received my Proton Exora. At that moment, I have three cars in front of my house. The Proton Waja was in the process of letting go.
Tuesday (26/6/09): We went to Brothers and fixed the tinted on all Exora’s window. More privacy now… Released/let go the Proton Waja. Uhuk-uhuk… My Proton Waja enhanced version was such a loyal and reliable servant. However, we’ve made the decision mainly because the family has grown bigger. So, we need some space in whatever vehicle we have. That’s purely the reason why we were forced to let go the superb Proton Waja…
Saturday (30/6/09): Went to Wet World Batu Pahat and the present mileage is 980km. Need to service it at 1000 km. We love this car. It’s great and awesome. Spacious and quite inside.
Monday (1/6/09): Fixed the LCD DVD/TV player at Brothers, Taman Universiti, Johor Bahru. It cost RM1,300.
Tuesday (2/6/09): We got a GPS holder for our Proton Exora.
Wednesday (3/6/09): First service 1000 km
Side Angle. Actually I already hit 1180km. I serviced my Proton Exora at Proton Service Center at Taman Teratai, Johor Bahru. Ironically, my Proton Exora was the first one of its kind to be serviced there. So, for the sake of White Proton Exora enthusiasist, sorry to only include these set of photos (while servicing) for the time being. I have problem with both my digital camera and camera phone. You can see from this photos that I’ve fixed the tinted and already pasted black smooth sticker between the windows to make the entire window area black in colour. The cost of tinted + sticker is RM350. I did not choose the special V-cool tinted or other more expansive one. The tinted was fixed at Brothers Taman Universiti, Skudai.
Side + Rear Angle View. The significant differences between H-Line and M-Line (mine is M-Line) from this angle is I don’t have the “top spoiler” and the bar is the same colour as the MPV body. H-Line rear bar is chrome coloured.
Another side and rear angle. I’m glad we get white Proton Exora. I think white is nice…
Front angle view. The front bonnet is not properly closed, that’s why you can see the gap there. One of my next project is to install nice cool fog light under the bumper. Also, when Proton Exora skirting is available, I’ll get it done for my Exora.
Front Angle View – closed up.
Front Angle 30 degrees. Proton Exora touch down.
Final check before the technician test drive the car again.
We installed the 10.4 inch LCD DVD/TV Player at Brothers. It was a little bit tricky to fix this huge set. They Brother’s crew, approximately around 5-7 all of them managed to get the work done under 1 hour. They screwed the based onto the metal top frame of the Proton Exora. The original LCD DVD player in H-Line is white colour and is customize for only Proton Exora. Cost of this set is RM1,300. The LCD DVD/TV player also has a pair of white lights, built in speakers and come with a slime sleek remote control. The player sound is connected to the Proton Exora sound system by FM frequency.
Viewing the LCD – not switched on. I’ll post it later when we play a DVD cartoon. Just bought few DVDs for my kids.
The dash board interior. Notice, on the top side, we just fixed a holder for our GPS. Inside M-Line, there’s no GPS and GPS holder. So, we have to get one from a local hand phone shop which cost us around RM30.
The Proton Exora engine. I can’t really comment on this. I’m not that technical to explain how the engine works or perform. I leave it to the technicians and mechanics to do what ever necessary.
Wait for later updates.

u dah survey before go Brother?
cyza reply on May 22nd, 2010 4:29 pm:
Oh I forgot what brand…Will update when i drive in a while.
So, far the LCD monitor is good. No TV….
My kids always watch it using various DVD.
I survey only one other shop before going to brothers and that is a small family own shop which initially seems to be ok, but then the service was slow. That’s why I headed up to brothers which 6 workers installed it for me and completed under 50 minutes.

Dear Sir,
May i know how’s is the performance of the car? Is the 1.6 engine sufficient for the body? May i also know about the fuel usage? Is it as true as they advertise? Would like to know more detail before purchase. Thank you!
cyza reply on June 10th, 2009 12:25 am:
as a family man the performance of this mpv is good, excellent and acceptible. Don’t compare this car with other performance car. Yesterday, there were 7 adults and 3 kids in my white proton exora and we went to pancing water fall kuantan. Some parts of the road were very steep, but there’s no problem with the pick up when going up. I still use gear ‘d’ and not ’3′ or ’2′. Proton exora can go up to 160 km/h without us noticing unless you see the speedometer. That indicates steady and smooth engine. For fule, i record and analyze my my exora performance. I’ve refill petrol 6 times already and early analysis indicates that for city driving, for 1 litre, it can go about 10km. Full tank range from rm85 to 89. For that full tank, i can go 405km to 420km. For long distance drive, it can go up to 530km for full tank (6 people in exora). I recorded this last friday when driving from jb to trengganu. Hope the info helps.
YT Choo reply on June 10th, 2009 1:21 pm:
Thanks a lot for the info. Really looking forward to owned one!
cyza reply on June 10th, 2009 11:52 pm:
Maybe, one more thing that Proton Exora enthusiast should know…and also Proton should take note about Proton Exora…
I think the dashboard and similar interior material is too soft. It can leave permanent mark even if you scratch it by your nail. Something must be done to improve this surface material. Apart from that, I’m happy with the car.
I even can accelerate and overtake cars and other slow vehicles on my way back from Kuantan to JB just now.

Time June 17, 2009 at 9:27 pm
I’m thinking of buying either Avanza or Exora. The major questions that the market are asking are:
1) Fuel Consumption
Please comment on RM/sen per KM and /or KM per litre for either urban drive or highway drive & both (average)…
2) Engine Power or Pick Up performance… revs during 110km/h speed & any humming/rattling noise during high speeding?
3) Your thought on high grade vs medium grade?
TQ… god bless!
cyza reply on June 17th, 2009 11:08 pm:
Budak Liar,
1) Fuel consumption, you can make the calculation from the info I provided to YT Choo above. I’m sorry, I’m not in the mood and tired to make any calculation now.
2) revs during 110km/h if I’m not mistaken is almost 3000. I think if you’ve driven a Waja auto before, the pick up is probably just like that.
3) Engine wise – H-Line and M-Line is the same. It’s just the accessories that differs. Up to you.
Other infos:
Exora – very spacious.
Body is light because of massive use of fibre in the body.
REcommendation to you – Go and test drive for yourself to know the power and performance of EXora MPV.
Some problem that I noticed so far:
1. the dashboard is too soft. Even a scratch will leave a mark.
2. The front aircond panel paint is sensitive to the parfume liquid. It will corrode the paint.
Hope it helps.

Tested exora auto and currently driving waja for 5 years.
if you think waja pickup is acceptable, then exora will disappoint you, but I didn’t say it is not okay for exora 
, very good aircond, cool under hot sun without tinting.

Hi everyone,
jast cameback at 1st exora roadshow at suntec city singapore . only M line available. price at S$ 57900 . add S$1500 for tail spoiler and full leather sit. wow ! you msian are lucky to get the price of M$70K . wonder why H-line is not promoted here. chose solid white it looks good for me personally.100% agree with cyza.
i hope i make the right decision .
like-spaciousness,aircond better than toyota wish or honda stream
dislike- singapore is pricy expected to be S$45K -S$50K
to be proven worthiness -engine longevity (hope low maintenance ) like toyota or honda MPV,fuel effiecincy ( campro CPS) and performace compared with other MPV.

aku dah dengar banyak rungutan dari pemilik exora
masalah paling utama mereka tak lain tak bukan,masalah aircond
elok je masalah power window hilang,tiba-tiba keluar pula masalah baru
jadi,adakah kereta anda juga menerima nasib yang sama?
cyza reply on January 30th, 2010 9:26 pm:
Hi “apa namaku”…why don’t you put your own name there…?
That’s fine.
OK, I have no problems as you stated above.
Aircond…yes, the early exora batch has aircond problem because the thermostat, which is within spec could not cope, so, they changed with a more robust thermostat…now the air cond problem is no longer a problem. Everything is normal…
Power window…no problem.
So, far I’m a very happy user of my proton exora…and my new latest millage up to today is 23,500km.
It’s ok if you want to ask me about my experience with my exora…
I’m not being paid by proton (I love it if they want to pay because I promote their product…huhu)…. but I’m recommending proton exora because:
1. spacious + comfortable
2. power + pick up ability for a 1.6l MPV is good. Thumbs up!!
3. Value for money…cheap MPV
apa namaku? reply on January 31st, 2010 12:41 pm:
thanks for the info.i really appreciate it.so,what about your exora’s fuel consumption,is it quite-high or normal.
cyza reply on January 31st, 2010 12:44 pm:
No problem…Fuel consumption is normal…just like other proton exora automatic 1.6l vehicle. That I can say… I don’t know about the proton exora 1.6l manual fuel consumption…maybe that one can save more fuel…i guess because it is auto…
To clear your doubt…go and have a test drive….or drive your friend’s proton exora

After see review on your site and go test drive Exora @ Skudai showroom today.
Result = very nice..
BTW, Black sticker on rear window is ‘JPJ’ approved???
What brand of tint you choose. Price at RM350 seem very cheap.
cyza reply on February 28th, 2010 7:52 pm:
Leiso… are you going to get yourself a proton exora?
Mine is not a black sticker…it’s a very dark tinted…and i think it is not approved.
The tint that I chose does not have any brand…as far as i remembered…. It was done at Brothers outlet…
Leiso reply on March 1st, 2010 4:01 am:
Yes yes, i’m going to get one! Still waiting for the dealer to calculate my old car trade-in value. If everything ok, will do booking in these few day.
But the black-tint for rear window (only) is consider JPJ allowable, i assume?
BTW, have u install fog light for your Exora?
cyza reply on March 1st, 2010 9:29 am:
Are you going to get M-Line or H-Line?
I’m not sure about the back tint line…?
Nope…I have not installed that fog light yet…Is it necessary? What do you think?
Leiso reply on March 2nd, 2010 8:54 am:
Budget constrain, so M-line is enough for me.
Fog light as its name said, can help see better during raining/foggy day.
Also usable at night time, can improve visibility. But any car in front sure complain!
cyza reply on March 2nd, 2010 9:53 am:
YEs, M-Line is good enough. No need H-line… The other’s we can install our self later, if we want.
I don’t think I need fog light. So far the visibility is good at night and when it rains, i think it is still ok.

Many Proton Exora owners not awaring of the fact that some Proton Exora cars only managed to achieved 6.36km per Litre fuel against it original claims at 13-14km.
When asking Proton personnel on the matter of Proton Exora uneconomical fuel consumption, they always reply by quoting that Long distance driving and Town driving is different. It seems with this answer, it usually kept customer puzzled and felt cheated.
So guys, be a smart car buyer. Always find out from person whom actually know about the car consumption by giving you the info in 1 Litre =? Km mileage. Just to give a guideline, Perodua Viva sales team quoted 1 Litre can achieve 16km and infact the car actually gives close to what it claims ie. Rm30 can give 250 Km mileage. (Calculation method: Rm30 divide Rm1.85 gives you the Litre amount in that Rm30 spend ie.16.22 Litre and multiply that with 16km as what claims by Perodua and it actually gives the right mileage ie. 259.50Km for a rm30 fuel spend).
Guys check it out. Proton Exora sales team tells that 1 Litre can give 13-14km mileage but after you buy, the achieved is only 1 Litre =6.36km and they tell you afterwhich that their technical team claims that actually can give only 7.4Km per Litre. You will hear many stories I’m sure if you actually have friends whom knows actually what I’m saying here.
Conclussion: Proton Exora a highly uneconomical car which gives can achieved 6.36km mileage for every 1 Litre fuel. Don’t get cheated when buying a car is the message to this comment. TQ.

I am wondering if any Exora owner would like a modest increase in power and/or better mileage. I am new to this blog and I surely do not wish to abuse this blog for advertisement. However if anyone wishes to know more, just send me an email reply.

My 7 months old Exora is running about 15.7L/100KM base on odometer. My average driving speed is about 50-70km/hr. How much do you think the EP Stabilizer can save up to and how much is the device please?

please do a test drive first, borrow from your’s friend.
its ok for me (B line manual)
FC around 7.5liter/100km (using DIY voltage stabilizer). if crusing at h/way not over 110km can get around 7.2liter/100km

Good Day,
wanted to get an exora for myself and wanted to check up to today hows the condition of the car after 1.5 years. Everything ok ?

Hi CK,
For me, yes, I think so far I’m still a happy user of Proton Exora. This month will be 2 years for me using Proton Exora.
However, there are some aspects that I think Proton Exora can be improved…
1. The quality of dashboard…should make it better
2. The quality of paint. So far there are many scratches on the paint surface. However, upon polishing the scratches disappears.
That’s all…

For those who are wondering if Proton Exora is a good car all depends on what you are looking for, is it the nice design or something else. As for me, I’m disappointed with the Fuel consumption. My Proton Exora has been with me for 1 year now and ever since the start my complaint to the Service Center was high fuel consumption ie. 1 Litre gives only 6.36Km (when avoiding traffic jam). This record has ever been as accurate till now. Proton Service Center’s reasoning is that you have to drive above 80km/hr inorder for economy fuel consumption. Believe me I drive more than 80Km most of the time and it still delivers 6.36Km to 1 Litre of Fuel. I guess you have to be in a Highway driving above 100Km then maybe it can give to some who wrote in here quoting 1 Litre gives 13Km. If my 1 Litre can deliver 9Km, I already happy what more to say 13Km. So either some Proton Exora having quality inconsistency or what I don’t know, as Proton Service Center still have yet to solve my high fuel consumption.
shah reply on May 4th, 2011 10:41 pm:
hi, we need to know, your exo still in std ? or already modify such as sport rims still using 15 inch from proton?
your exo’s auto or manual?
have you re-tune your ECU?
May be you’re driving on heavy traffic jammed.
mine manual exo still got 13~14km on h/way from johor to perak. speed maintain overall 120km/h. I’m using ron95 petronas plus DIY Voltage stabilizer.

Thanks cyza. Going to get my exora tomorrow. Need additional adv, is it OK to change the rim to 16 inch? Any differences? Pls adv.
shah reply on May 4th, 2011 11:19 pm:
if you change your rims to 16inch,you must use 16inch tyre, its more expensive compare to 17inch and 15 inch.
by the way “drink” more petrol compare 15inch exspecially during heavy jammed

I’m driving on my PROTON Exora Auto as per original witjout modification to engine and sport rim. Proton Service Center in Kuching already re-tune ECU more than 2 times but still gives HIGH FUEL Consumption ie. 1 Litre = 6.36KM.
For your information as I’ve mentioned earlier my driving is NOT on any Traffice Jam road condition (which I’m really aware of, believe me when you know very well that your car only gives 6.36KM from the 1 Litre of RON95, you wouldn’t dare to drive most of the time not to mention driving in Trafic Jam condition).
About DIY Voltage stabilizer, i wouldn’t dare to modify to that stage as PROTON may VOID the car warranty.
cyza reply on May 6th, 2011 10:46 am:
GY,
Since your comment yesterday, I have measured my fuel since yesterday to get the latest km per liter data. I’ll let you know as soon as I get the result, I think later today or tomorrow.

FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO VERIFY ABOUT MY PROTON EXORA PROBLEM ON FUEL CONSUMPTION IF IT’S GENUINE OR NOT…you can email back to me and I can give full details as to which Proton Center I bought my car from etc..
shah reply on May 6th, 2011 8:33 pm:
GY,
it up to you wheater you wants to use VS or not.
For me, after read proton service booklet, user do not get max cover up.Just little bit have been covered such as battery & exhaust for 1 year.

have u changed the pulley, or have u done any modification on ur exora? my real concern is the power of the engine to move this bi body around. in theory, there are some changes can be made to offset the lack of power. i personally drive my friend’s exora, and to be honest i have to say the lack of power is significant, up to the level that a person need to change the driving style and behavior.
any feedback is appreciated.

All in standard spec. manual type no problem. if you drive for over 4000rpm, it will trigger CPS system to boost up your speed. Even Avanza try to “cucuk” while climb up Pagoh mountain at PLUS H/way, couldn’t beat and still smell exora’s smoke.
No problem at “Terowong Menora” still can be at right lane and Inas Mountain at Baling.
Home made VS will enhance exora performance, but please dont use I Charge, wasted your money (very expensive)
