Value for Money

More saver for Exora

Dimensions, Power, Weight - Technical Data

Firstly I think I have to address the actual dimensions of the car, because when you buy an MPV what you are looking for is essentially a big box to fit your family in. There has been some revision to the data that Proton provided us during the prototype test drive (particularly the weight, which is now heavier - 1422kg for M-Line and 1442kg for H-Line). Here are the final specs of the Exora in comparison to its competitors.
Exora Livina 1.6 Avanza 1.5 Rondo Innova Kerb Weight 1,422kg 1,245kg 1,120kg 1,563kg 1,575kg Length 4,592mm 4,420mm 4,150mm 4,545mm 4,580mm Width 1,809mm 1,690mm 1,630mm 1,800mm 1,770mm Height 1,691mm 1,590mm 1,695mm 1,650mm 1,755mm Wheelbase 2,730mm 2,600mm 2,655mm 2,700mm 2,750mm Track (F) 1,542mm 1,470mm 1,415mm 1,573mm 1,510mm Track (R) 1,530mm 1,475mm 1,425mm 1,569mm 1,510mm Fuel Tank 55L 52L 45L 55L 55L Power (hp) 125hp 104hp 108hp 142hp 134hp Torque (Nm) 150Nm 150Nm 141Nm 189Nm 182Nm kg/Nm 9.48 8.3 7.94 8.27 8.65

The power figures above are quoted in horsepower, which has been converted from most of the “PS” measurements that Japanese companies use. As you can see the weight is now heavier, which would throw off all our previous calculations on the Exora’s power to weight ratio.

The Exora’s 125 horsepower has to pull 1422kg of weight now which means 11.376kg per horsepower, which is actually one of the better performing numbers among its competitors unfortunately the amount of weight that each Newton Meter has to pull is one of the worst. It’s the amount of torque and the torque curve that matters when it comes to pulling a lot of weight.

The third and second row of Proton Exora can be arranged in so many formation due to its ability to be folded and really carries the name of Multi purpose Vehicle with the function to fit big and many stuff there in Proton Exora. At third row, you will not have to sit like on the floor because it is quite high of seat height. The leg room is good for a person around 178cm high. At front row, no complain at all.. Spacious. Same with the second row seat.
