Interview with lead engineer for the Proton Exora project
July 28, 2009
Proton Exora blooms in town
Seven seats, engineered by Lotus and at a price of under $60,000
The Exora will be the new cheap MPV
By Andy Hum in Jakarta, Indonesia
Proton’s first MPV has arrived in Singapore with a price tag of $57,999 with COE. Called ‘Exora’, it will mainly rival the aging $67,000 Kia Carens.
It comes with a 1.6-litre ‘CamPro CPS’ engine made by Proton, with the aid of Lotus, and a new modular chassis, also developed with the help of Lotus. The in-line four powerplant generates 125hp and 150Nm of torque, helping the nearly 1.4-tonne Exora get from 0-100km/h in 15.5 seconds.
We got to test drive the new Exora in Jakarta recently and also spoke to lead engineer for the Proton Exora project, Mohd Najib bin Mahmood about how they flexed their owner muscles with Lotus, a two-door coupe and their plans for the near future.
Interview with Mohd Najib bin Mahmood, lead engineer, Platform Management Division
CB: How did Lotus help to develop this car?
Najib: Lotus is good in chassis engineering, setting up the suspension of the car, NVH, and also for ride and handling. Lotus came to Malaysia during its early development stages to test, calibrate and tune the chassis, and it was further developed in the UK to troubleshoot any parameters.
CB: What took Proton so long to come up with an MPV?
Najib: Actually, this is our fourth attempt to introduce an MPV. But this is the one that really makes us proud. It has a very intelligent platform that we developed for Proton so that in the near future, we can derive a number of cars from it. From this platform, we can produce sedans, large cars and SUVs.
At this point, Najib shares that a medium-segment sedan prototype is already being tested.
CB: Why was it not engineered to achieve a five-star crash test result?
Najib: We achieved a four-star rating with the body compartment, but in order to achieve five stars, it requires additional side and curtain airbags. The most important thing is the body; the strength of the A- and B-pillars, side bars and the roof have already higher safety ratings. Introducing those airbags will increase the cost of the car. The most important are the driver and passenger’s airbags.
CB: Will there be a two-door coupe based on this platform?
Najib: Yes, in fact we are just waiting for direction from our management. If they want it, this platform can be used.
