safety

The Exora achieved 4 out of 5 stars in the Euro NCAP crash test after 32 Exoras were crashed at the Applus + IDIADA site in Spain . In addition, the Exora also received 4 out of 5 stars in the Malaysian MyVAP testing program. One of the reasons for the good results is the use of high-strength steel for reinforcement of the body, which should ensure greater stability and better occupant protection in the event of an accident. Side impact protection was also installed.

Further safety features are ABS and EDB . Two airbags and belt tensioners are installed on the two front seats.

Name-finding competition

Proton announced a competition to come up with a name for the new minivan, known as the Proton MPV Naming Contest . It ended on September 30, 2008. This was the second time (after the saga ) that Proton held such a competition.

The result was announced on February 17, 2009. The name "Exora" was chosen from 251,763 suggestions; The winner was Norsholihan bt Abdul Eanich . He got the first Exora to roll off the assembly line.

A widely discussed rule of this competition was that the name could not come from the animal or plant kingdom, but the winning proposal Exora is reminiscent of the flower Ixora . Proton then made it clear that the word Exora only resembled the flower Ixora, but did not represent an animal or plant name and was therefore permissible.
