Despite the all-new Toyota Avanza and Veloz making some drastic changes for the new generation’s layout and features, it seems that Indonesians are still quite reluctant in returning the title of Indonesia’s best-selling crown to the 7-seater.

From the looks of it, we will be receiving the facelifted model, which features a revised front grille and other small details. Back in 2019, MMM confirmed that the Xpander will be launched in Malaysia in 2020, but got delayed due to slow approvals by the then-government and the Covid-19 pandemic happened.

Since its most recent update in 2019, the Proton Exora has stepped up its game against all its closest competitor by a mile. The new advanced infotainment system very similar to the Proton X70 only adds to the many plus points that makes the Exora a winning MPV. But there is one problem with the Exora, and that is the lack of ease of driving. Take a flip through the spec sheet, the Proton Exora really does sound like a winning car.
