Proton Exora Fuel Economy Malaysia
Exora 1.6T city: 10–13 L/100km; highway: 7.5–9.5 L/100km. Turbo: smooth acceleration important. 7 passengers: add 1.5–2.5 L/100km. Correct tyre pressure. 6AT vs CVTi: 6AT more efficient. Avoid short-trip idling — turbo carbon risk.
- 1.6T CFE: 11–14 L/100km city (MPV weight + family loading); 8–10 L/100km highway
- Port injection = cleaner intake = consistent fuel economy throughout engine life
Fuel Economy — Proton in Malaysia
Proton Saga 1.3L official fuel economy: ~6.5 L/100km. Real KL city driving: 8–10 L/100km. X50 1.5T: official 7.5 L/100km; real city: 9–12 L/100km. All Proton models use RON 95 — using RON 97 on non-turbo models provides no measurable benefit. For the 1.5T TGDI, RON 95 is the minimum; RON 97 may be beneficial under heavy load (mountain driving, full load). Key tip: 7DCT clutch adapts to driving style — smooth gradual inputs improve efficiency.
