Some older threads suggest the battery lasting up to 80k+ mileage, and still running fine.
Average battery life for a new car is ~3 years.

A few users suggests to top up the liquid, although it it maintenance free.

Battery life depends on how it is used. Most important is to give it a good charge every 6 months, this can prevent sulphate build up that can slowly degrade and kill the battery. One way, is to take the car for long distance drive. Another way is to charge it manually.

Sulphate build up can happen in all wet cell acid battery.

Also, monitor the voltage drop during engine cranking, using a multimeter, or OBD dongle.
Make sure it doesn't drop below 10V during load.

Proton Edar Website already have the Exora SP!

Hi guys, need some advices,

The price between eb premium vs executive is about 10k,
Is it worth for the money if i buy the premium?

Btw, i read from proton website, FC for premium is 7.8 L /100 km, while executive is 7.0 L / 100km, what make the different?

Tq

Pricing and specs

Go to above URL, and select the models to compare.
The FC is different here and there. Take the comparison above, Premium and Exec is same FC, but SP is higher.
I'd ignore it.

I have seen the car just know. I think the additional 10k is worth it because you will get many important features including the followings:

1) ESC
2) 2 additional airbags (total 4)
3) Leather seat
4) DVD player
5) Auto cruise

The FC was listed as 7.0 for both Executive and Premium in the brochure.

I think you confused between Premium and Super Premium.
Only the SP has ESC and 4 airbags. The SP is ~15k more than Executive.

Anyone recently purchase Executive CVT model? Website publish on the road for app rm67K for metallic colour.
Pls share.....i rally intent to join this EXORA friendly group. I'm from Pg.
Wondering how much BEST price i can get.

The info in the website are wrong. I refer to the brochure and double check with the SA that the Premium is indeed come with 4 airbags and ESC. Attached is the brochure for your reference.


Attached thumbnail(s)

I was browsing their site few hours ago there was a bug in the pricing and spec page . First I sworn I saw ESC and 4 airbags for SP only and no info for the rest. Then I toggled between the 5 variants a few times... suddenly the ESC/ airbag info showed no data (even for SP). lol.


I checked again after reading your post ... and now its corrected. yes... ESC and 4 airbags for P and SP . Phew!

This is exactly the same prob. as mine, have the issue been rectified bro, mind to share any key learning? As for mine, just done 1k service but the issue still persist and will be heading back to sc.

mine's three years this febuary. odo at 40+++KM, and still going strong.

Yes bro. The Proton Edar website is not reliable and not up to date. I was having a big confusion when I was buying my Preve Executive CVT that the website mentioned it didn't come with curtain airbags. As last I chose to trust my SA and now I got the car with curtain airbags.

the white color exora looks like a prototype. is it for real?

I always thought battery lasts around 1.5 yrs. surprised to see it can last that long. In that case I'll not change it for now.

Thanks bro. I did compare before but afraid the 45 series might cause the ride to be bumpy. So far I'm glad I took the 50 series. Moreover the speedo always reads slower than the waze speed. That's my rationale for choosing 50 series. Maybe the fuel might makan abit more tho

is it just me? personally i don't like the look of the black cladding. looks cheap. like "mende tampal-tampal". the rear bumper seems more practical.

100% agreed bro. It doesn't look right.

Nothing wrong with your choice either. Welcome to the club.


Remember old wira, where the low end spec has black colored bumpers?
I'm from the old times, so yeah, agree with you.

I started noticing this trend since SUVs like CRV and some others start to have this 'black, raw plastic' trim on their cars. Something just don't look right IMO.
