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
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? We tested the Proton X50 to find out. As per usual, all tyres were inflated according to the manufacturer's recommended tyre pressure. Then the Proton X50’s 45-litre fuel tank was brimmed. Air-conditioning was set at 22 degrees Celsius in automatic mode. Driving behaviour was normal, without aggressive throttle inputs or hyp
Powering the 2020 Honda City 1.5L V is a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre 4-cylinder DOHC i-VTEC engine that makes 121 PS and 145 Nm of torque. Drive goes to the front wheels via a CVT. Honda claims a fuel consumption figure of 5.4-litre/100 km, but what did it achieve in our fuel consumption test? Let’s find out. Our standard operating procedure We have our own SOPs too, you know. First up, the tyre pressure was inflated to the manufacturers recommended specs of 230 kPa (cold tyres) for the front
During the Proton 1 Tank Adventure back in 2019, the lowest fuel consumption recorded in the 2019 Proton Persona 1.6L was 5.03-litre/100 km. However, the drivers were most definitely hypermiling the Persona with the air conditioning off and whatnot. We’ve tested it in normal conditions and here’s our result. As per our SOP (it has always been constant), all tyres were inflated according to the manufacturer's recommended tyre pressure. Then the Proton Persona’s 40-litre fuel tank was brimmed. Dri
The Proton X70, Honda CR-V, and Mazda CX-5 feature turbocharged engines with different capacities at 1.8-litre, 1.5-litre and 2.5-litre respectively. And they weigh differently from each other as well. How do they fare in real-world driving? Let’s dig in. Facts and Figures Proton X70 Premium (CBU) Honda CR-V 1.5 TC-P Mazda CX-5 Turbo Engine 1.8L 4-cyl turbo 1.5L 4-cyl turbo 2.5L 4-cyl turbo Transmission 6-speed AT CVT 6-speed AT Power 184 PS 193 PS 230 PS Torque 285 Nm 243 Nm 420 Nm Weight 1,695
6.7L/100 km based on the NEDC cycle Unchanged from previous 1.3L CVT Significant improvement from the Saga BLM 4-AT 2019 Proton Saga Transmission The recently launched Proton Saga facelift saw the reintroduction of the 4-speed torque converter automatic transmission replacing the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). In 2011, Proton was adamant that the CVT promised better fuel consumption and lower maintenance so the switch back to a conventional torque converter makes it appear that Proton
The 2020 Proton X70 CKD is powered by a 1.8-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 184 PS and 300 Nm of torque, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Proton claims the X70 CKD returns 7.6-litre/100 km, so we put it to the test. All tyres were inflated according to the manufacturer's recommended tyre pressure of 230 kPa (cold tyres) for all four tyres. Then the Proton X70’s 60-litre fuel tank was brimmed. Driving behaviour was as per a normal driver, accelerating and brak
At WapCar.my, we put every car through the scrutiny of Ratings tests. Every aspect such as driving performance, fuel consumption, or even price and maintenance are evaluated accordingly. To date, we have sampled well over 40 cars and you can check out the full Ratings list here. In this article, we'll go through the top 5 cars with the lowest fuel consumption during our tests. Before we start, do note that our method of testing relies on the fuel station’s pump, which in turn relies on pressure
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. A similarly turbocharged but 1.5-litre Honda CR-V 1.5 TC-P has a claimed fuel consumption of 7.0-litre/100 km. The equiv
The Proton X50 will very likely be the national carmaker's next model launch but don't expect it to appear in showrooms anytime soon. Proton X50 Engine Spec We all know that the new compact crossover SUV will be based on the Geely Binyue and the Malaysian market will most certainly feature the 1.5-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine and 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. In China, the Binyue is offered with a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbo petrol but that's mated exclusively to a 6-speed manu
Nissan claims that the rated fuel consumption for the Nissan X-Trail 2.0L is 13.4km/litre, which translates to about 7.5 litres per 100 km. We put it through our WapCar Ratings test to find out how many litres of fuel does the Nissan X-Trail consume. To recap, the 2.0-litre engine naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine produces 144 PS and 200 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The CVT keeps the engine operating at its optimum rev ra
After months of speculation and spyshots, Honda Thailand has launched the fifth generation, all-new 2020 Honda City. For the Thailand market, there will be four variants - the range topping RS variant will now join the usual S, V, and SV variants. Prices in Thailand range from: City S: THB 579,500 City V: THB 609,000 City SV: THB 665,000 City RS: THB 739,000 Under the hood lies a new 1.0-litre DOHC turbocharged 3-cylinder petrol engine that does 122 PS at 5,500 rpm and 173 Nm from 2,000 rpm to 4
Is it me or is it getting hot in here? Honda Malaysia has already started firing us up with teasers of the all-new 2020 Honda City (and taking potshots at the Toyota Vios at that) but is it as hot as it's made out to be? Does all-new mean all-good? Thanks to this review by our Thai colleagues at Autofun.co.th who had the range-topping City Turbo RS for a week, we can take an exclusive deep dive into the car that's keen to swoop our markets. Let's dive in! Exterior I think it's safe to say that m
Mazda claims that their Mazda CX-5 2.5L Turbo AWD has a rated fuel consumption of 8.2 L/100 km but how realistic is it in the real world? We put the Mazda CX-5 2.5L Turbo AWD through our WapCar fuel consumption test and here are our results. The CX-5 2.5 Turbo AWD is powered by a 2.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder SkyActiv-G petrol engine paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive. The engine packs 230 PS and 420 Nm of torque which makes it the most powerful petrol-powered SU
Ever wondered what is the fuel consumption of the Proton X70 1.8T 2WD? We put Proton X70 through our WapCar fuel consumption test and here are our Proton X70 fuel consumption test results. The Proton X70 Premium 2WD sold in Malaysia is powered by a 1.8-litre turbocharged direct-injection 4-cylinder petrol engine linked to a 6-speed automatic transmission. A conventional 6-speed automatic and turbocharged engine is not the most ideal combination for fuel economy. The Proton X70's 1,695 kg kerb we
The 2021 Perodua Ativa (D55L) SUV is now open for booking and Perodua has very graciously announced the preliminary specification of their latest Proton X50 competitor. One of the details that they’ve announced is the powertrain. The Ativa will be powered by the 1KR-VET 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbo petrol paired to a CVT automatic just like the Toyota Raize and Daihatsu Rocky. While Perodua did not disclose the output figures of their Ativa just yet, in Japan this engine makes 98 PS and 140 Nm of
An exciting new choice for a B-segment SUV is the Proton X50. Segment rivals include the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3. Some fell head over heels for the Proton X50 upon its launch, while some are still on the fence on this vibrant little SUV. To break things down more objectively, we shall put it through our WapCar rating system. Let's see how the Proton X50 scores. 2020 Proton X50 1.5 TGDI: Driving Performance - 35/50 pts, It's quick for what it is 2020 Proton X50 1.5 TGDI Flagship - Facts and Fig

Dalam satu semakan ringkas di laman web Boon Siew Honda, Honda PCX nampaknya telah digugurkan dari laman web rasmi Boon Siew Honda. Jawapan dari Boon Siew Honda adalah model ini telah pun ditamatkan penjualan tetapi hanya model PCX Hybrid masih dijual. Namun, beberapa pengedar rasmi Boon Siew Honda masih memiliki stok sedia ada. Honda PCX yang turut hadir dalam versi hybrid adalah sebuah motosikal jenis skuter 150 cc yang menyaingi Yamaha NMax. Walaubagaimanapun, jurang harga yang agak besar ant
The all-new 2020 Nissan Almera (N18) just made its ASEAN debut with Thailand market had the honour to host the regional premiere. All-new 2020 Nissan Almera Engine Sharp styling and abundant features aside, the fourth generation Nissan Almera is now equipped with an advanced HRA0 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine and an Xtronic CVT automatic.

Honda Thailand has shown various models at this year's Bangkok International Motor Show. Seen alongside the 2020 Honda City Turbo RS is this 2020 Honda Jazz RS. The Jazz RS is powered by a 1.5-litre four-pot that makes 117 PS and 146 Nm of torque. Power is delivered through a CVT to its front wheels. It's 3 PS lesser than the engine we get (120 PS) due to it being tuned to run on E85 gasohol fuel and therefore complying to Thailand's CO2 rules. Anyway, let's take a closer look and see what's dif

For many Malaysians wanting a brand-new pure hybrid car, the Hyundai Ioniq is one of the few choices for those wanting to drive green. However, it appears that the model has been dropped for the Malaysian market. A quick search on Hyundai’s website shows that the Ioniq is absent from its model line-up. Though some markets including Australia and Singapore have received the facelift, there has been no news for its arrival in Malaysia. The locally-assembled (CKD) Ioniq was unveiled here back in 20
The aptly named Honda City is one of the most popular city cars in Malaysia. Its latest iteration was revealed in 2020, powered by a new 1.5-litre DOHC engine. Although the Honda City RS i-MMD is yet to have an official price, the new Honda City 1.5L V, E, and S are already increasing in numbers on Malaysian roads. As always, we'll put it through our very own WapCar Rating system to break things down for you. Let's see where it stands in the B-segment saloon category, against the Nissan Almera,
Selepas naiktaraf yang diberikan kepada Honda PCX yang kini dikuasakan enjin bersesaran 160 cc, timbul perkhabaran serupa satu lagi model skuternya, Honda Vario 150 bakal mendapat peningkatan serupa juga pada tahun ini. Begitupun, berita itu diperoleh daripada negara jiran, Indonesia di mana motosikal skuter berkenaan sememangnya popular.

Perkembangan menarik itu dikongsikan laman Facebook rasmi BSH, Honda Motorcycle Malaysia menerusi gambar acah yang cukup mirip bahagian dan lampu depan ADV 150. Seperti pelancaran model Sportbike CBR250RR pertengahan bulan lalu, pelancaran ADV 150 turut berlangsung secara maya berikutan penularan wabak Covid-19. Sebagai rek
Honda Vario 150 boleh dikatakan duduk ‘bersenang lenang’ tanpa pencabar sejati dalam segmen skuter (enjin 150cc) sejak ia diperkenalkan Boon Siew Honda di pasaran Malaysia pada 2018 hingga kini. Ketika ramai menjangka ia adalah lawan atau jawapan buat peminat Honda terhadap Yamaha NVX 155, kenyataan itu tidak begitu tepat kerana kedua-dua skuter ini mempunyai perbezaan yang ketara. Apa yang sama adalah kedua-duanya bersaing pasaran skuter tempatan dan menggunakan gear automatik. Berdasarkan perb
