It looks like the Proton Exora facelift has made a relatively quiet introduction with units of the MPV - in Super Premium and Executive trim - already in showrooms. For this round of updates, Proton has introduced a new range-topping variant in the guise of the aforementioned Super Premium.

In terms of aesthetics, the Proton Exora facelift gets a raft of upgrades in the form of body cladding on the lower front, side and rear of the car for a more robust outlook. The headlight assembly now sports a bronze tinted outlook, again exclusive to the Super Premium, as opposed to the smoked setup on earlier models. On the Super Premium and Premium variants, the fog lamps are replaced by LED daytime running lights.

Profile wise, the Super Premium variant adds on grey side mirrors while the rest of the range receive body-painted finish. Refreshed ten-spoke 16-inch wheels make an appearance - the Super Premium receiving a two-tone treatment instead of an all-silver affair on the other variants.

At the rear, new smoked combination tail lamps are featured along with the inclusion of a fog lamp - on the Premium and Super Premium - for enhanced visibility. A revised wing design also gets featured this time round. Lift the hood and a new 'Turbo' badging sits in place of the pre-facelift's 'CFE' tag on the engine cover.

Inside, the range-topping Super Premium gets a faux carbon trim on the centre console. The instrument cluster is now of the Optitron variety while the leather-trimmed seats feature a new design. Opting for the Premium and Super Premium variant gets you more safety in the form of electronic stability control (ESC) and four airbags.

No mechanical changes are touted on the facelift variants with the same two engines on offer - a 1.6 CPS mill and a 1.6 turbo CFE engine, the latter paired to a CVT transmission. The Proton Exora Super Premium is priced at RM81,888 on-the-road with insurance and comes with a three-year warranty.
