Specifications
Rear view
It was based on the Proton ExoraMPV, but with some cosmetic modifications on it. This includes a slightly revamped front grill, front and rear bumpers, head and tail lights, and a completely redesigned tailgate. Fresh to the car was the newly-designed alloy wheels, which featured 14 spokes. It shared the same platform as the Exora, but the suspension was raised to give the Lekiu a more offroading-oriented outlook.[2]
