Proton Exora

The Proton Exora is a compact multi-purpose vehicle built by the Malaysian maker Proton from 2009 to 2023. It was Malaysia's first locally developed MPV when it was released on 15 April 2009, and it was the first Proton on the in-house P2 platform. Its name was inspired by the Ixora flower. The facelift shown on 15 December 2011 was the first Proton to use the turbocharged CamPro CFE engine and a CVT gearbox. Proton had sketched an MPV as early as the 1990s and tried a mini-MPV, the Juara, in 2001, but the Exora was the car that revived the project from 2006 and held a place among the best-selling vehicles in Malaysia for several years.
