Basic Review

2010 Proton Exora Basic review from Malaysia

"MPV for the masses"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Back wiper not syncing.

Front right absorber noisy.

Uncontrollable air conditioning.

Smell-leak from petrol & fumes.

General comments?

As a whole, this is an MPV perfect for a 6-7 person family to travel in comfort. Space, length, wideness.

My model is a basic with only one airbag. No ABS, EBD, DVDs, 2nd row air conditioning, sport-rims. But the Body Control Module (BCM) is STILL superb.

In many POV, this is still better than the Livina and Citra, especially engine wise. It is not UNDERPOWERED as many have claimed, as going up hill at 90kmh is still achievable with the correct driving skills.

It is economically drivable as long as you don't expect to get a low efficient engine driving 140kmh 70% on the wheel. 100-120kmh drive for 2 hours gave me 12km/L count. 1.6 with 120hp, that should be considerably efficient.

Accessories wise, too bad Proton vendors are still quality-starved! Many smaller items will wear out faster than you can count to 10.

Hit Thai Market

Proton Exora To Hit Thai Market Next Week

BANGKOK, Nov 27 (Bernama) -- With over 7,000 of its cars already on the road, Proton is set to launch its maiden multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) Exora in the Thai market at the Thailand International Motor Expo next week.

Based on initial feedback from the media and industry experts, Phranakorn Auto Sales general manager (operations) Apichart Wangsatorntanakhun said they were expecting a good response from Thai buyers.

"We took more than a dozen journalists to test the Exora in Malaysia. Exora received excellent reviews from the media, as well as those who came for discussion with us and saw the car at our showroom," he said in an interview here.

The Nation daily, in its review Friday said that Exora, with good handling and ride balance for its class, combined with versatile interior, was a good value as a family-mover against the smaller Toyota Avanza and the pricey Honda Freed.

Proton made its entry into the Japanese manufacturers-dominated Thai market at the end of 2007 to take advantage of the low five per cent import duty imposed under the Asean Free Trade Area agreement. Phranakorn was appointed as its official distributor.

According to Apichart, Exora's competitive pricing matched with quality, interior design and various accessories like leather seats and DVD player would enable it to compete with other MPVs in the market.

"It's value for money...it's similar to what Japanese manufacturers have been doing and is their secret for success. But now, their cars are a bit over priced," he said, adding that Honda Freed launched here two weeks ago was priced at between 894,000 Baht and 1,074,500 Baht (RM1 = 10 Baht).

Apichart said the 1.6-litre engine with five-speed manual or four-speed automatic Exora in five colours would hit the market in the price range between 699,000 Baht to 799,000 Baht.

Launched on April 15 in Malaysia, the Exora model has received 26,000 bookings todate, and 17,000 units were already registered in the domestic market there, as well as making its debut in Indonesia and Singapore.

Apichart said since its entry into the highly-competive market, Proton had sold more than 7,000 cars, with the top model being Savvy.

Asked on Phranakorn's sales target for Exora, Apichart said they had set a high target but declined to reveal.

"Overall, we hope to get about 900 bookings for all our models during the motor show.

"In fact, we are giving free insurance and free leather seats for Savvy buyers," he said.

Last year, Proton, which has 35 dealers nationwide, received 863 bookings during the popular expo attended by more than 1.5 million people. There were 14,000 orders.

Other Proton models available here are Neo, Gen 2, Persona and Persona CNG.

He said the overall sales was good, considering the weak Thai automotive market where sales dropped by 20 per cent for passenger cars and 28 per cent for pick-ups.

USA’s Marketing Effectiveness Award

Proton Exora Nominated For USA’s Marketing Effectiveness Award

Exora, Malaysia’s first Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV), which far exceeded initial sales targets with bookings of more than 35,000 units since its launch, has been nominated for the prestigious Adverting and Marketing Effectiveness (AME) award organised by the New York Festivals.

The Exora marketing campaign also won a Gold Dragon at the Promotions Marketing Awards of Asia (PMA) ’09 and a Silver award at the Malaysian Effectiveness Awards.

“Unlike other advertising awards, the AME Awards credits creative work that’s strategic, effective, and produces tangible results,” said Huang Ean Hwa, Deputy Chairman of McCann Worldgroup. Advertising agency McCann Erickson Malaysia’s 360-degree campaign to launch Proton Exora was instrumental in creating a strong market buzz at a time when the automotive market was looking to recover from the economic downturn

For the first time in its 16-year history, the AME Awards held regional judging sessions evaluated by jurors with cultural and economic relevance within their own region and with an intimate knowledge of each market. The Proton Exora campaign was expanded across print, TV, radio, and online advertising, ground events, customer testimonials, and a live telecast.

Winners of the AME Awards will be announced on 21 April. Three Malaysian companies were nominated in the Integrated (Mixed Media) Marketing category: Canon (“Canon Goes Green” / Dentsu Malaysia), Pantene (“3 Minute Miracle” / Grey Group Asia Pacific), and Polident (“East, Speak and Smile with Confidence” / Grey Group Kuala Lumpur). McCann Erickson Malaysia was also nominated for Clorets’ “Dark Secret” campaign in the Food category.
