Overview
Proton's only MPV 2019 Proton Exora has been on sale since 2009. The latest version of the car retains its turbocharged 1.6-litre engine but was updated to include touches of Geely's influence like a 7-inch infotainment system complete with voice command, online music streaming and navigation. The C-segment MPV doesn't have any direct rivals thanks to the abundant equipment and price. (2019 Proton Exora – it’s 10 years old, still worth your consideration?)
Exterior
Design
Throughout the years the car has been on sale, the Proton Exora has not change much. The latest version saw the addition of a sporty black roof and stylish black skirtings.
Dimensions
The Proton Exora measures in at 4,160 x 1,809 x 1,691 x 2,730 mm in length, width, height, and wheelbase.
2019 Proton Exora Dimensions | |
Length | 4,160 mm |
Width | 1,809 mm |
Height | 1,691 mm |
Wheelbase | 2,730 mm |
Lighting
Both Executive and Premium variants are equipped with halogen headlights but only the Premium variant gets DRLs and rear fog lamps.
Wheels
The Proton Exora rides on 16-inch wheels.
Interior
Centre Console
The Exora's interior is strangely devoid cubby sapce even though there is plenty of space to fit more functional spaces. Instead, the MPV gets shallow storage spaces and spaces too far to reach sitting upright on the seats.
Dashboard
Though Proton has done what they can to improve the MPV's dashboard quality, the plastic still rough to touch.
Space
The Exora gets legroom and headroom aplenty, even for the third row passengers.
Boot
Unfortunately, all the space in the car seems to have been dedicated to the passengers as the boot space is close to non-existence.
Features
Safety Features
During one of the Exora's many updates, Proton has added Electric Stability Control into the car, though there are still only 2 airbags. (At RM 66k, the Proton Exora is the cheapest MPV to feature ESC)
Comfort Features
Though not the most comfortable cabin, the Premium variant's semi-leather seats are small touches that Proton has added in an effort to make the car more comfortable.
Infotainment
In the latest update, the Exora gained an advanced 7-inch touchscreen head unit that connects to 4G and WiFi with Hi Proton features like online music streaming, navigation and even weather forecast.
Powertrain
Engine
Since the facelift in 2016, the Exora's 1.6-litre engine gained a turbo to allow the car more push to shove. It now produces 140 ps and 205 Nm.

1.6-litre Turbocharge petrol engine | 140 ps @ 5,000 rpm | 205 Nm @ 2,000 – 4,000 rpm |
Transmission
Like its fellow Proton siblings, the Exora's 1.6-litre engine is also mated to a CVT.
Four-wheel drive system
The Proton Exora is powered by its front wheels.
Driving Performance
Acceleration Time
As the Proton Exora is a heavy MPV, Proton added the turbo to help the car roll off the line faster allowing the Exora to make the century sprint in 11 seconds.
Braking Distance
It takes the Proton Exora 15 seconds to come to a complete stand still from 0-100-0 km/h.
Engine Performance
The Proton Exora is too heavy for the car to respond fast. As it is heavy, it eliminates any jerks in the performance.
Transmission Performance
While it is reported that Proton's CVTs are jerky units, it is barely noticeable on the Exora.
Steering and Handling
Unlike most cars, the Exora uses a hydraulic power steering instead of an electric power steering instead. And the effects is strangely heavy, definitely not a car that is easy to drive around the city's tight parking lots.
Ride Comfort
Sound Proofing
The Proton Exora's sound proofing measures in at 69 decibels going at 90 km/h while 110 km/h sound levels measures at 70 decibels.
Passenger Comfort
The Exora is first and foremost a family car, and despite the heavy steering, the Exora is a very comfortable car for its occupants. The Macpherson struts at the front and torsion beams in the back are set just right to eliminate all possible portholes.
Fuel Consumption
Fuel Consumption
The Exora returns 9.8-litres / 100km in a mix of stop-go traffic and highway cruising. While new cars are coming equipped with turbochargers for better fuel consumption, the car's turbocharger is one to give the car more power instead of fuel efficiency purposes.
Conclusion
With the Exora packed to the brim with all the latest tech, it's not surprising that the car is Malaysia's best-selling MPV. It was already a winner thanks to the abundance of space, but the latest update saw the addition of Hi Proton and 4G+WiFi services it now amplifies value for money.

Proton Exora User Reviews
Based on 4 Reviews
Cheapest while turbocharged
Build quality is quite low
- Cheapest price for an MPV that possessed with turbocharged - Cool to sit inside in the summer thanks to the rear AC vents - Daytime Running Lights - Convenient, hands free boot control - Electronic Stability Control is loaded
- Dated exterior and interior - Lack of enough power - Only 2 airbags are loaded, if I carry 7 people, which 2 should be arranged to sit in the seats that have airbags?
