The latest Proton MPV, the Proton Exora MPV, has been spotted out testing on Chinese roads, which could signal an immediate launch in China for the MPV.
According to reports, the MPV was spotted testing in ‘Northern China’, which probably means around the Jinan area where Youngman is based.
Information on the Exora is available on the excellent PaulTan website, however, information on the Chinese version of the Exora is currently unavailable. It is expected to hit the market in late 2009 and will be sold under Jinan Youngmans ‘Europestar’ brand.
The Europestar is expected to expand its sales network to include first and second tier cities in 2009. Currently the Europestar network is limited to certain coastal cities and inland cities. Jinan Youngman plans to expand their network to 100 cities in 2009, and plans to build a new car manufacturing plant which will give Youngman a production capacity of 450,000 vehicles per year. Europestar is producing the Proton Gen2 racer under their own brand in Guizhou province, and plan to build the Jingyue model is currently produced in Hangzhou.
Chinese automotive press are which is set to be either imported, or made in China under the Europa branding from Youngman.
