Overall, the Proton Exora exterior is absolutely great and nothing else to say, Proton Exora is going to be the most desireable MPV in Malaysia. I personally proud of what Proton has made to produce our first MPV. The quality of the Proton Exora interior, nothing feels cheap. Meaning that the interior of this 7 seater MPV is nice and well designed. Especially the steering wheel which look like Honda’s steering. The 5 spoke sport rims really satisfy the eyes of observer which looks fit to the Proton Exora MPV.

Proton Exora Carries up to 7 adults comfortably in plush leather seats*. For more room, the 2nd and 3rd rows can be arranged and folded in 6 different ways, including completely flat.

Surprisingly, the 2nd and third row of Proton Exora fit 5 adults with comfortable space. I have tried sitting at the back and i feel that there is no problem for me to sit there for a long journey because Proton Exora can fit me without feeling uncomfortable. Amazing for an MPV below RM80k! I would say the space for third row is better than Rondo and Grand Livina. Proton Exora is really for 2 adults, not just 2 small kids.

Proton Exora comes with dual blower and individual air-cond outlets at every row, built-in entertainment system* and 10 cup holders. Interior finishing of Proton Exora is very nice.

The third and second row of Proton Exora can be arranged in so many formation due to its ability to be folded and really carries the name of Multi purpose Vehicle with the function to fit big and many stuff there in Proton Exora. At third row, you will not have to sit like on the floor because it is quite high of seat height. The leg room is good for a person around 178cm high. At front row, no complain at all.. Spacious. Same with the second row seat.

The Proton Exora is powered by CAMPRO CPS 1.6 litre engine. Proton Exora is enough to bring this MPV with 7 passenger inside anywhere. Reading so many Proton Exora test drive review recently, they were all satisfy with the performance of this CAMPRO CPS under the hood of Proton Exora. But Proton Exora will not beat the Nissan Grand Livina’s 1.6 CVTC responsive engine due to the weight of Proton Exora is more than Livina eventhough both engine have same 1600 cc displacement. However, the performance of Proton Exora is acceptable and you will have no problem with Proton Exora to bring a body of a quite big MPV. Anyway, this is an MPV, not a racing sports car.

The Proton Exora center panel on dashboard is pretty nice. Looks simple yet elegant. the gated auto gear which only have on high end cars available in Proton Exora is easy to reach.

Proton Exora ,Very spacious MPV. Proton Exora is what you need if you have a big family. Proton Exora really can fit 7 adults. Enough to bring other 6 members of your family happily anywhere. About fuel consumption of Proton Exora? For now there is no data provided by Proton in terms of km/l or litre per 100km. Basically Proton Exora will be slightly fuel consuming than the Proton Gen2 CPS with the same 1.6 litre campro cps engine. But yet still among the best fuel consumption in its class as an MPV.

Proton Posts Rm338 Million Group Loss In Fy2008/09

Proton Posts Rm338 Million Group Loss In Fy2008/09

KUALA LUMPUR, May 29 (Bernama) -- Proton Holdings Bhd today announced a group pre-tax loss of RM338 million for its financial year ended March 31, 2009, from a pre-tax profit of RM144 million in 2008, mainly due to an exceptional impairment of property, plant and equipment (PPE) and inventory write-down.

Proton's chairman Datuk Mohd Nadzmi Mohd Salleh said the group's performance was reflective of the current global economic conditions.

The softening of the automotive industry arising from the global financial crisis had also adversely affected the performance of the group in the second half of the financial year, he said.

"The main reason for the group's loss was due to Proton's decision for the impairment of PPE and inventory write-down for certain models impacted by volume contraction," Nadzmi said.

"Additionally, the results for the second half of the financial year have also been adversely affected by the accelerated amortisation of certain dies and jigs as well as the increased costs of components and raw materials arising from higher foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the Japanese yen and US dollar," he said.

Proton's group total revenue, however, improved by RM864.98 million to RM6.49 billion in FY2008/09 compared to RM5.62 billion in FY2007/08.

The group sold a total of 156,845 units of cars in FY2008/9 compared to 139,942 units last year, Nadzmi said.

Focusing on the fourth-quarter results for the current financial year, he said Proton reported a group pre-tax loss of RM392 million compared to the pre-tax profit of RM172 million in the same quarter of the previous financial year (FY2007/08).

The substantial loss for the quarter was largely due to the exceptional impairment for PPE and inventory write-down relating to certain models impacted by volume contraction totalling RM360 million and, to a lesser extent, lower domestic sales volume.

The group total revenue for the fourth quarter was down by RM315.4 million to RM1.4 billion for the fourth quarter of FY2008/09 compared to RM1.7 billion posted during the same period in the preceding year.

This was due to lower units sold of 34,490 in the last quarter of FY2008/09 compared to 40,903 in the same period last year.

Nadzmi said the contraction in sales, had resulted in Proton reassessing its production volume in view of the current economic slowdown.

"The comprehensive assessment had resulted in Proton to taking an unprecedented step of impairing its assets and inventory specifically relating to certain models affected by the volume contraction amounting to RM360 million," he said.

For this financial year, Proton is expected to receive a research and development grant from the government amounting to RM81 million, as provided by the National Automotive Policy (NAP).

Proton's managing director Datuk Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir said that despite the loss, the group's balance sheet remained healthy as its cash reserves stood at RM899.5 million, down from RM1.17 billion last year.

"As a fully fledged automotive company, we spent a substantial amount on the development of new models such as the Proton Exora and Lotus Evora during the year. While this had affected our cash reserves, we will be able to recover when the cars are sold," Syed Zainal said.

As of today, bookings for the new Exora has already reached 11,000 units, he said.

"We are now planning to launch the MPV in the Indonesian market in July 2009, which has a sizeable middle class market and is predominantly an MPV market," Syed Zainal said.

"Besides having a strategic partnership with Zagross Khodro for the CKD assembly of the Wira and more recently the Gen.2 models in Iran, we have also entered into a business relationship with Youngman of China for the CBU supply of our Gen.2 and Persona models, which are sold and distributed in China under Youngman's Europestar badge, potentially leading to CKD assembly operations," he said.

"We are also finalising our India strategy by the end of the year and we are indeed excited with these prospects in making Proton cars available and more visible in the overseas markets as this will hopefully enhance our revenue," Syed Zainal said.

"In terms of volume, we are aiming at doubling our total sales volume by 2010, of which the bulk will be derived from the export markets," he said.
