FC is equivalent to its power   

7-8km per litre in city 

I usually average around 8.5km/L for 100% city drive

Pretty reasonable to me considering it's power. Compared to Innova's 10km/L but very underpowered.

I own an Exora Bold CFE myself.

The Innova's FC stats I obtained it from fuelly.com (http://www.fuelly.com/car/toyota/innova/2012)
The average fuel consumption stats are submitted by multiple owners over a period of time.

It's not a reliable way of gauging fuel consumptions between cars, but I just used it for comparison sake

When people ask me about FC, i always give the worst case scenario...hence, 7-8km/litre

Personally i get 8.5km/litre on average in city

I have a friend of mine who once I let him have a go in my Exora, his feedback was that the Exora is very powerful compared to his mom's Innova (he often drives his mom's Innova).

According to him, the Innova requires hard revving for it to accelerate decently. Whereas for the exora, once the turbo kicks in, all the acceleration power is there when you need it.

Since then, he constantly complains about his mom's Innova being underpowered and how he wishes he could turbocharge it

Moreover, on paper (the specs) the Innova IS underpowered.
Based on the calculations of the engine output figures (Horsepower, torque), and the kerb weight of the Innova.

The exora may not be the most powerful MPV around, but thanks to the 1.6 turbo engine, it's definitely one of the better performing MPVs.
The Innova doesn't have much torque despite being a 2.0 in order to lug around the massive weight of the car (due to the engine being naturally aspirated, as opposed to a turbo engine which has lots of torque)

Torque is very important to an MPV, just like how it is to a pickup truck 
Myvi small and light ma. The engine doesn't need to work as hard to get it moving

I bought it when they were having year end sales last year, so I guess the discounts I got were good.

So far up to now of owning the EB (4 months already), I'm overall very satisfied with it. No problems so far.
The turbo power is what puts a smile on my face everytime

Hello new friends! New Exora Bold Standard CFE user coming thru (today is 3rd day - bau kedai lagi hehe)

X1R is engine additive which SC push us to buy & use during service interval

No use X1R = No damage to turbo
Use X1R = Damage the turbo

anyway, the letter didn't say anything about stop exora production

exora will be out of stock?

muhammad_azadAs previous reported, you get a bunch of service vouchers, and only mineral oil can fit into that budget. Total vouchers is valued at RM945. Thanks to tst71 for that valuable information. Nothing to be disappointed about, if you compare to the owners in the last two years.

luckykid5Most of the time, people report problems with their car, and less on satisfaction. Few of us here express satisfaction with our rides, and we can only do it once, or twice. But, the same problems will be reported by different users over and over again. Check out other threads like Mazda, Toyota, Nissan and Honda, you'll see problems with their SC and QC. So, it is up to you to interpret the situation.

I am not pro-P1 or P2, just that I own their cars.

Petrol consumption is on the high side, but not too bad if you compare it with another C-segment MPV such as Innova. That one's underpowered yet consumes alot of petrol too. At least the EB consumes alot of petrol with a valid reason, power

To me I think most of the noise is coming from the CVT gearbox, not the engine. The engine only gets noisy when you accelerate harshly

Exora cps a lot more noise compare to CFE..I dunno but I hv both model parked in front of my house..engine bay n cabin noise so much different.modifications almost similar.but CFE less noisy

If want to reduce/eliminate unwanted noise maybe anyone here can share their experience with autofoam@sound mat product on their vehicle..I nvr try both product yet

By right EB should be compared with other C-segment MPVs such as Innova as they are in the same size segment. But in Malaysia, we compare between price points due to our wonderful tax structure

If I'm not mistaken, the Pug 5008 and Mazda 5 seem to have better fuel economy (at least on paper).
Plus the fuel economy stats on fuelly.com show that the Pug 5008 has an average between 13km/L - 16km/L.
And the Mazda 5 have averages of 10km/L. Not a reliable source for FC stats, but just for comparison sake only

CVT gearbox gives alot of whiney noises when on the go, especially during acceleration (i assume when the CVT belt is continuously adjusting the ratios).
Preve/EB/Suprima S with CFE are ridiculously noisy from the outside because of the secondary cooling fan. I noticed another car that is just as ridiculously loud too is the Peugeot 208 

I'm not sure about you guys, but I noticed the secondary fan normally kicks in for sure when I have the air conditioning on. The moment I off the air conditioning, poof, the secondary fan goes away.
This is why sometimes when I wanna be discreet when in the car, I'll turn off the air conditioning to shut the secondary fan off   

EB and EB std both come with 16 inch rim.. normal exora is 15inch...
im also from waja before. from 195/55/r15 inch stock to 205/50/r16 inch te37 the fc is not different. but when change to 205/45/r17 inch ssr type F the FC suffer abit. so i think the same with EB. up 1 size shud not be a problem. and the width of tyre also effect this. not too wide from stock its okay. as per EB the stock is 205/55/r16. i upgrade to 215/45/r17...

I don't think the rims alone will affect the weight by that much. It's definitely a combination of everything that's different between the 2 variants. For example, maybe the premium's leather seats are heavier than the cloth seats on the standard. Or maybe even the ceiling mounted screen adds a little bit of weight. Just assuming

that spec is wrong. exora bold standard use steel 16 inch rim. i changed to 17 because of many tyre choice compared to 16 inch. and the price of tyre is almost the same between 16 and 17.. attached are the brochure from proton showing the std is 16 inch.

Buy it,take to SC and ask them to install the EVP for RM1.6K.2013 model has brake issues until my sis almost hit another car at speed of 20km/h.

Great new for sept buyer !!
