Specifications
It was based on the Proton Exora MPV, 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.{{cite news|title=Proton Lekiu Concept - an Exora-based SUV at KLIMS '10|work=Paul Tan's Automotive News|date=2 December 2010|url=https://paultan.org/2010/12/02/proton-lekiu-concept-an-exora-based-suv-at-klims-10/|accessdate=24 April 2018}}
