After a 14-year model lifespan, 2023 may be end of the road for the longstanding Proton Exora. Though not officially confirmed by Proton, all signs point to the Proton’s only MPV being discontinued at the end of this year. Speaking at a press forum today, Mr Ainol Azmil Abu Bakar, Senior Director of Group Technical Procurement for Proton said, “Of the four original models (from Proton), [three] will still continue except for one model that we have announced to suppliers that we are going to EOP

The Proton CamPro engine, since its inception in 2004 in the Proton Gen.2, has the recognition of being the only Malaysian-developed engine to-date. That alone could have been a remarkable achievement for Proton, but there’s a catch – CamPro isn’t exactly known for its fuel consumption.

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