Before we start the story, allow us to clarify: No, the Proton Exora and Perodua Aruz are not in the same segment. The Exora is an MPV while the Aruz is an SUV. But the reason we’re comparing both cars together is because they’re similarly priced (the Aruz from RM 72,900, Exora from RM 59,800; before SST exemption) and they sit 7.If you’re wondering that the Perodua Alza would be a better comparison to the Exora, allow us to explain that though the Alza sits

The Proton Exora, like the current X70, is one of the company’s “why didn’t we build these earlier” moments.
