PROTON EXORA HYBRID MARKETING 2012?

If you’ve been waiting for the Proton Exora Hybrid to enter the market, some positive news then – the vehicle might be introduced next year, if everything goes according to plan. According to reports, Proton’s managing director Datuk Seri Syed Zainal Abidin said that the Exora Hybrid is undergoing testing validation in the United Kingdom, which is expected to be completed in two weeks.

Proton will then get the approval to produce the hybrid MPV after it obtains final certification from the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS). As for its introduction into the market, Syed Zainal hinted that the vehicle would arrive sometime in 2012. “We hope the car goes to the public by next year,” he said.

Development of the Exora Hybrid began in the UK in 2009, and in November last year, fresh from bagging the “Best Range Extender EV” award at the Royal Automobile Club (RAC) Future Car Challenge event held in London, we drove the Exora Hybrid here in its REEV form. How much of this one will translate into the series production product remains to be seen.

Elsewhere, the company says it is confident of surviving in a fully liberalised market, and was prepared to face challenges when the planned liberalisation of the domestic automotive industry comes into play by 2016.

Proton has been prepared for this for a long time, according to Syed Zainal. “We have a five-year journey and whatever we do, we must make sure the cars become cheaper and its product design and quality get better,’ he said last week.

The company’s current restructuring exercise, which should be completed later this year once it is approved by the board and shareholders, is in line with the company’s direction heading towards 2016.

“We want the company to be more flexible and focus on whatever they do. We have the breadth but not the depth. We want to be better in the way we design, manufacture, sell and distribute our cars,” he stated, and the restructuring would obviously streamline many things and add focus, going forward.

PROTON EXORA BARU 25 TAHUN (GAMBAR)

Guys, hari ini aku search2 jumpa pula gambar2 menarik Proton Exora keluaran 25 Tahun PROTON. Sekali tengok memang gempak habis! Gua salute sama pereka kereta ni tapi enjin pula tak tahu berapa kekuatannya. Rasanya enjin Proton Exora sebelum ni dengan 1600 cc nampaknya kureng sikit untuk menampung bodynya yang besar. Apa yang saya dengar kereta Proton Exora keluaran 25 Tahun sempena Anniversary PROTON yang ke-25 Tahun ini menggunakan kekuatan enjin Campro Turbo!!! Wah sure lajukkkk!!!!!

PROTON EXORA VS. TOYOTA AVANZA

Salam 1Malaysia all... Salam Melaka Maju 2010. Hari ni aku nak story pasal kekuatan kereta buatan nasional, ramai cakap kereta keluaran PROTON ni semuanya mcm tin2 milo kat kedai runcit sana. Hakikatnya PROTON masih mengamalkan konsep ketahan fizikal untuk tujuan keselamatan. Mengurangkan momentum dentuman untuk mengurangkan kecederaan. Apa yang dapat kita lihat dalam gambar diatas ialah kemalangan diantara Toyota Avanza dan Proton Exora di mana kelihatan Toyota Avanza lebih banyak kerosakkannya berbanding Proton Exora. Ini adalah kemalangan depan bertemu depan dimana kekuatan hentaman lebih pada bahagian hadapan. Kita patut kikis fikiran negatif mengatakan kereta2 keluaran nasional adalah kereta2 tin milo.... Sekian, support barangan tempatan!

PROTON EXORA 25TH ANNIVERSARY

Proton unveiled a special trio of cars at its 25th anniversary celebration gala dinner tonight. This is one of the three – the Proton Exora 25th Anniversary Edition, which is joined by a Persona 25th Anniversary Edition and a Saga 25th Anniversary Edition. Each model will only be available in 25 units.

All three sport a similiar design theme said to be inspired by a tiger’s face. They’re all finished in a Pearl White exclusive to these commemorative models. There’s a very thin and subtle line on the side of the car following the shoulder from the front all the way to the rear, to represent a tiger’s stripe. The ‘stripe’ ends at the rear with a small 25th Anniversary logo. They come with uniquely designed alloy wheels. The ‘mouth’ of the vehicle is blacked out, which actually reminds me of SEAT’s Bocanegra front end styling.

What’s most special is the interior, which is done in a nice brown colour with the 25th Anniversary logo embossed in the headrests. They may not look that great or represent how they look like in real life in the photos we have for you as lighting conditions was really bad at the dinner hall but they really give the interior a more upmarket feel, though I feel it would be even better if the dash material was made darker. I’ve seen similiar brown leather in the Passat CC and the E90 3-Series offered here in Malaysia.

Externally, there’s a subtle bodykit and I can see that the front bumper has chrome surrounds at the foglamps similiar to the Exora Prestige bumper.

The Exora’s head unit has been replaced with a widescreen unit with touch screen control. I didn’t get a chance to play with the head unit but from the photos I managed to snap I can see logos for SD card and USB, together with your usual disc loading slot at the top. The widescreen display is also used to display video feeds from a reverse camera as well as GPS navigation screens.

For the second row passengers, there’s individual LCD screens integrated into the front seat headrests. I’m not sure where these LCD screens get their input source from but I did find that they have USB ports built into them, so perhaps they are able to load MP3 and MP4 files. We’ll find out more about the extra specs for you later when we get the chance.

Speaking of the second row, the seats have been modified so that the second row consists of two ‘captain seats’ with spacing between them as compared to the usual tumble-forward bench.

And how much for all this you ask? The Proton Exora 25th Anniversary Edition costs quite a premium over the regular Exora – RM91,998. Bookings will open from the 12th of July onwards at all Proton showrooms nationwide, but if you want to see the limited edition cars you’ll have to come to the Centre of Excellence showroom by the KESAS highway.

EOCM GENTING HIGHLANDS ROAD TOUR

The 1.6 liter Campro CPS engine used in the Proton Exora has been the subject of much criticism, whether called for or not. Yes, having a relatively small engine in a large vehicle is bound to require a little more pedal to the metal but everytime there is a story about the Exora or the Alza on this site there is bound to be those who pop up and say that they’ve tried the Exora in so and so situations and the MPV failed to deliver.

I think other than Proton themselves, the next group of people who are likely to be infuriated by such allegations are the Proton Exora owners themselves. After all, they’ve committed to years of monthly repayments to the Proton family vehicle of their choice and having a personal connection with their car, insulting the Exora is almost like insulting their logic or choice of picking the Exora over its competitors.

Quite interestingly, the Exora owners over at protonexora.com.my (Exora Owners Club Malaysia) have decided to take the matter into their own hands. They’ve actually organised a convoy together up to the Genting Highlands Resort. The EOCM 2010 Genting Highlands Road Tour convoy began last Saturday at the Genting Sempah Rest Area. The Exora went up and down (with no sweat) and the members had a great time. The “Jom Ronda Bersama Proton” crew from TV3 also joined in to feature the convoy in an upcoming segment.

It’s nice to see how much passion these guys have for their Proton Exoras. It’s one vehicle that Proton has managed to tick all the right boxes for its intended target customer – space, comfort and price. It just shows that although you could say Proton has failed us in the past with products that don’t quite right hit the sweet spot, when Proton delivers something good, Malaysians will reciprocate.

PROTON EXORA VS GRAND LIVINA VS CHERY EASTAR VS NAZA CITRA VS KIA RONDO?

Many of us will be confused whether to buy the latest affordable Proton Exora 1.6litre CPS RM65k or the fuel economy Grand Livina 1.6l/1.8l from RM80k to RM100k or Chery Eastar with its Mitsubishi engine 2.4l from RM78k to RM88k or another cheapest MPV Naza Citra from RM65k with 2.0l engine or Luxury style Kia Rondo from RM83k with its 2.0l engine.

To be truth and to be fair, every MPV got its own speciality. Many people like to compare and comment this 5 MPV as if they got the best MPV in Malaysia. Just accept the facts and know that all MPV cannot be compared in terms of “what you want” to say other MPV is not good whatsoever.

I read many of car forumers arguing and protecting their MPV and beat other brand’s MPV. For what? It doesn’t make sense.

In Chery forum they said Livina is small, in Livina Forum they said Chery is low quality China made MPV, in Rondo forum they said Exora is underpower car.. Better don’t judge an MPV emotionally. If you want to buy, go test drive it yourself, compare the specification of MPV with what you want and what really suit your needs and buy it.

For example, if you want a big MPV that really can fit 7 people inside, go for Proton Exora or Chery Eastar. Rondo is ok than Livina and Citra 3rd row space. If you prefer performance and fuel efficiency best MPV fuel consumption, 1.6litre & 1.8litre Grand Livina is the solid answer instead of bigger engine capacity Chery Eastar 2.4 litre. If you want more luxury and nice interior finishing, go for Kia Rondo because the interior is very good with black leather and nice dashboard. If you want a cheap MPV but you also need a higher performance engine, get the Naza Citra. If you need a value for money MPV, go for Proton Exora with acceptable 1.6litre CPS engine, bigger space and good looking MPV.

PROTON EXORA VS. PERODUA ALZA

KUALA LUMPUR 14 Jan. - Pembelian kereta baru sebagai menggantikan kereta yang dibeli bagi tempoh antara tahun 2003 hingga 2005 menjadi salah satu faktor pertumbuhan penjualan kenderaan pada tahun ini.
Frost & Sullivan mengunjurkan jumlah keseluruhan industri (TIV) mencapai 555,000 buah atau pertumbuhan 4.5 peratus itu, sambil menggariskan pelancaran model baru, kadar faedah yang rendah, pemulihan ekonomi serta pembeli daripada golongan muda sebagai penyumbang kepada pertumbuhan tersebut.
Ketua Amalan Automotif dan Pengangkutan Frost & Sullivan (Asia Pasifik), Kavan Mukhtyar berkata, kenderaan pelbagai guna (MPV) dijangka mencatatkan pertumbuhan tertinggi sebanyak 12.7 peratus, dengan penjualan 68,000 buah yang menyaksikan persaingan sengit antara Proton Exora dan Perodua Alza.
''Pembeli berpotensi yang menangguhkan pembelian pada tahun lalu juga dijangka menggantikan kereta mereka pada tahun ini kerana keadaan ekonomi yang lebih baik,'' katanya.
Beliau yang juga Rakan Kongsi Frost & Sullivan menyatakan demikian ketika membentangkan tinjauan industri automotif Malaysia 2010 di sini, hari ini.
Pada tahun lalu industri automotif tempatan diramal mencatatkan TIV sebanyak 531,000 buah.
Kereta penumpang dijangka mencatatkan pertumbuhan paling perlahan tahun ini dengan 3.2 peratus berbanding tahun lalu berikutan kekurangan model baru selain pembeli lebih cenderung memiliki MPV. bagaimanapun, ia kekal menjadi penyumbang terbesar kepada penjualan kenderaan dengan menguasai 75.3 peratus daripada TIV.
Menurut Kavan, pelancaran Perodua Alza, Kia Forte, model baru Proton, Proton Persona yang dipertingkatkan serta beberapa model baru Nissan, Kia, Peugeot dan Audi turut membantu menjana penjualan kenderaan pada tahun ini.
Tambah beliau, golongan muda akan menjadi pemangkin kepada pertumbuhan penjualan kenderaan untuk jangka masa panjang selain bilangan pembeli kereta untuk kali pertama yang dijangka meningkat bagi tempoh beberapa tahun akan datang.
Sementara itu, Kavan memberitahu, Proton berjaya meningkatkan penguasaan pasaran sebanyak 1.9 peratus pada tahun lalu berikutan pelancaran Proton Exora.
''Bagaimanapun, Perodua terus mengekalkan kedudukan nombor satu pembuat kereta utama Malaysia pada 2009 dengan jangkaan penguasaan sebanyak 33.4 peratus diikuti rapat oleh Proton sebanyak 30.4 peratus,'' jelasnya.
Tambah beliau, bagi segmen kereta bukan nasional, penguasaan pasaran Toyota dijangka berkurangan sebanyak empat peratus kepada 13.6 peratus pada 2009 berikutan persaingan sengit dalam segmen MPV dan kereta penumpang bersaiz sederhana.
Katanya, penguasaan pasaran Honda tumbuh sebanyak 1.6 peratus kepada 8.1 peratus ekoran pelancaran Honda City baru untuk tempoh tersebut.
