What’s the Proton X50’s tested fuel consumption?

Proton claims the X50 returns a fuel consumption figure of 6.4-litre/100 km for the range-topping 1.5 TGDi Flagship variant. But what’s the real-world fuel consumption like?

Ratings – Honda CR-V’s fuel consumption, commendable score

The common knowledge about smaller capacity turbocharged engines is that they are fuel efficient. We’ve put the Honda CR-V 1.5 TC-P through the WapCar fuel consumption test to find out if it adheres to the norm. Powering the Honda CR-V is a turbocharged 1.5-litre 4-cylinder engine that makes 193 PS and 243 Nm of torque. In the 1.5 TC-P variant, drive goes to the front wheels via a CVT. Like in the Nissan X-Trail, the CVT allows the engine to spin at its optimum rev range to maximise fuel efficie

Pros and Cons: Proton X70 – Great on comfort, not-so-great on fuel

With all the buzz for the Proton X50, the Proton X70 might have gotten overshadowed recently. But that doesn’t mean the Proton X70 has lost its appeal because it still offers tremendous value for money. To recap its prices, the Proton X70 is priced (OTR without SST and insurance) from RM 89,900 for the Standard variant, all the way to RM 115,800 for the Premium X variant. If the Proton X50 doesn’t suit your needs and preferences, perhaps you need more space and prefer something even more comfort

Is it true that the Proton X70 suffers from high fuel consumption?

Weighing nearly 1.7 tonnes for just a five-seater SUV, the Proton X70 is the heaviest C-segment SUV. Naturally, its fuel consumption is higher than the Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5, or even Nissan X-Trail. But how much higher? Curiously, Proton doesn’t provide any official fuel consumption data for the Proton X70, which is powered by a turbocharged 1.8-litre direct injection engine.

The Berlin Wall was built to keep Western fascists from entering East Germany, but it served to keep East Germany’s people in. The Berlin Wall stood from 1961 until 1989 when the East German Communist Party finally allowed its citizens to cross the border freely. Needless to say there were attempts to cross over, some slid their way through checkpoints and some even dug beneath the wall to go under it. Some however, hid in vehicles and one of them was the BMW Isetta. In this BMW short film title
