The answer is it depends:

- If you're a light foot and don't push the engine then the Turbo should use a bit more fuel than the NA version eg. if your rpm hardly goes beyond 2500-3000.

- if you cannot tahan the underpowered engine like me and wring the engine all the time then the Turbo will probably use less fuel than the NA engine

hi...wanna ask..if im about to buy the exora,,when is the good time for me to buy it since the exora turbo might come out soon..does anyone know when will the exora turbo coming out?is now are the right time for me to buy new exora?will the exora turbo car will make the price of the H line exora reduce?

hi guys ive been looking everywhere and cant seem to find any info of my 2din gps all in one system for a Proton Exora SE bought in Thailand. The SE comes with extra features one of them being the 2din gps system. I dont see a name anywhere and it comes with mapking pro software. It also of course has bluetooth/dvdcd player/2 sd slots/ 1 normal size usb port(not mini usb)/rear facing camera as well. If anyone has any info on this, please let me know thanks!

actually i have heard many but reserved my comments as i have never tested one before. but i just came back from SC to check on my Persona's engine rear mounting. And boy, i never heard a owner soo damn f***ing disappointed with his brand new one month old (2,000km) Exora basic line manual.

He told me that he regret soo much that he bought this shit after learning that his exora could not go uphill (shopping mall car park ramp) with the car fully loaded with ppl. It was just impossible and he had to ask all his passengers to exit the car and then he could drive it up. He needed to floor the pedal to the metal to go up. And he also said that driving along hilly roads was a big challenge when fully loaded too. And now, the car is parked at the SC to solve a engine check light issue.

Note: this is what i heard just now.... i am not bashing the car in anyway but IMHO / in fact i quite like exora's design. its interior design is really perfect / fantastic. The exterior is nice too except that the front bumper should hv it redesigned a little so that it does not look too boxy. And lastly, should have bigger engine (1.8 / 2.0).

Well I'd tested the Exora (A) twice and I am still not satisfied with their engine performance. As you said the interior and outlook is awesome and I quite like it as well honestly. Seriously after two times of testing the Exora it is just that the engine performance are below par when going up hill (that's only 3 adult sitting that time). When I say going uphill it is not the Genting kind of hills, it just a normal U-turn to climb back up the Sprint highway in cross with Jalan Datuk Sulaiman (TTDI) back to the Curve before the Penchala Link Tunnel to Sri Hartamas.

Personally I really like the Exora design as it is spacious which fits into my family profile but I really hope that Proton would do something with the engine at least increasing the torque (Nm - low rpm and higher torque).

Proton biggest problem is they lacked a new and more powerful engine....Campro is really long in the tooth ....which is why the only option left is to turborize the CAMPRO........building a new engine is too costly (and maybe they lacked the skills....CAMPRO was actually derived from Lotus).....sometimes, i feel they should just license an engine from elsewhere (but of course, need to nego for very good deal and support from the manufacturer...). Alternatively, just build a JV to invest or develop an engine with other car manufacturers....

Added on October 4, 2011, 3:05 pmCrappy GPS software....i complained to Proton why you force Proton's customer buy overpriced junk. Your boss must be big crony with UMNO man....

Luckily, the hardware is still good and i can hack it with Garmin, Papago One and other software.

Added on October 4, 2011, 3:09 pmFuiyo...that's bad....One Utama parking ramp entrance in New Wing going up to the higher levels??? hehe. Yeah, i was contemplating to buy Exora as one of the options early this year, but in the end , chose Inspira. Exora interior is really nice. Exterior also good....If Exora can have the Inspira 2.0cc Mivec engine inside...becomes the perfect Exora!!! Exora is 1.4 tonne rite? Inspira is almost 1.3 tonnes i think.

Hoping that Exora turbo version will come out soon this year end and hoping that improves pickup. I'd been testing Peugeot 5008, Ford S-Max, Starex..man I love it very much.! lol...but the price of those cars are killing! Proton if your Exora turbo are satisfying, I'll book em right away!

prediction for exora turbo pricemight be 85-86k..as told by staff at proton centre..just PREDICTION..

How much is current exora? 70K - 80K??? When will launch??

This post has been edited by Matrix: Oct 5 2011, 02:04 PM

The current Proton Exora H-Line (A) @ rm75000 ++...but if the Exora turbo version adds another rm15000 still ok...whithin budget!

I think adding RM15K for a turbo kit is overpriced....turbo kit can be done cheaply....... but below 85k is reasonable, if they add other enhancement.

is exora really that bad?is itreally underpower?if im not mistaken,,exorian had went to genting with full people in it..and there are full of positive feedback also..

Bro Matrix,

We are continuously making improvements to our navigation software as we go along. Our next major upgrade will be coming soon with a lot of refinements that will improve the navigating experience.

Junk is junk...if my info is correct, this piece of crap cost RM2K...yes...RM 2K (unless you tell me it's otherwise). For every Proton sold, we are forced to pay 2K for this junk?? Why should i wait for you to "improve", when market leaders like Garmin and Papago, also can get a GPS for much less??? Give me one good reason!!!

i dont think that it is really that bad. One someone saying cps is not good on waja, i beg to differ. Test drive waja n gen2 cps first then can comment.
Cps on exora is not powerful but adequate enough. For manual cant climb parking park with full load is quite confusing since many exorian(eocm) dont have any problem.
It just that u need to maintain 1st gear at 3k rpm shud be enough for full load on parking park.
I believe more than 50 exos go uphill genting with full load n luggage without any problem. On par with alza with full load base on my experience. Avanza 1.5 is better but only marginal but hey,its better than 1.3 avanza which really rare to hear any complaint on avanza 1.3 performance.
By the way, fd ration on exora is lower than in waja cps@gen2 cps to cater the low end torque demand.
In a car, u still can use 2nd gear coz it only can occupy 5 occupant, but in exora full load,it is 7,so if u put 2 more occupants in a car,it will suffer the same condition.
Just maintain first gear at 3k rpm,u r ok. No need to slot to 2nd. If not,just ramp until 4k rpm n slot to 2nd gear n maintain around 2.5k rpm, only apply if full load, n that consider high speed for uphill parking lot at around 30 to 40 kmh. For auto,just slot 3 (off overdrive mode) or L for low gear(1st gear).
It still not powerful,but adequate. If u want more power,wait for exora fl that equip with iafm+ engine(there are rumours though) that equip with cvt n getrag manual trans or if not enough,opt for cfe cvt turbo,then,u can drive fast uphill parking ramp since already generate 205nm at 2k rpm, which is as powerful as 2.4 n/a engine torque at 2k rpm or maybe better then the latter.
