Perodua Ativa (D55L) fuel consumption, lower than Proton X50 & Aruz, up to 680 km per tank

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

Did you know that driving on an almost empty fuel tank could damage your fuel pump?

While most of us suffer from empty fuel tank anxiety the moment the fuel gauge drops to 2 bars, some risk-takers tend to push their cars to the very last drop of the fuel before refuelling. Did you know that this is not good for your car’s health? Honda Malaysia recently uploaded a simple PSA on its Facebook page explaining that this is a rather common practice among car owners. Continuing to drive your car until the fuel gauge starts blinking red will cause problems in the longer term, the most

Proton X70 1.8T 2WD fuel consumption, 7.5L/100 km possible only if you don't get stuck in traffic jams  – Ratings

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

Review: 2019 Proton Exora, old car with new tricks, still good enough?

(2019 Proton Exora Premium Price & Specs | Gallery) The Exora is Proton's family car option launched in 2009 and currently the brand's only MPV. In its 10-year production, the MPV went through 3 updates that saw the addition of the turbocharged (but still port injection) engine (Exora Bold) in 2011 and a cosmetic update in 2017. The latest rendition you see here was introduced in 2019. Upgrades in this cycle saw mostly tech additions on the Proton Exora's interior. The MPV now comes with the hea

In Brief: 2019 Proton Exora – it’s 10 years old, still worth your consideration?

Proton Exora | Gallery The Proton Exora was first launched in 2009, thus making it nearly a decade old now. Most manufacturers will keep their models for around five to seven years before replacing it with a new model. To be fair, the similarly priced Perodua Alza is just as old as the Exora but unlike the Alza, the Exora has been given several significant improvements including a new turbocharged (but still port injection) engine, and more recently, a vastly improved infotainment system.

Pros and Cons: Proton Exora Premium – Wait, why are you still on sale?

Back in 2009, when the MPV craze hit Malaysia, Proton and Perodua both added a 7-seater MPV into their line-up. Here we are in 2020 and both the Proton Exora and Perodua Alza are still on sale. Interestingly, both models were given an update in 2019 and there seem to be no signs of replacement for the Perodua Alza. This time, let's focus on what is seen as the best value-for-money C-segment MPV, the Exora. We'll talk about the Alza some other time. Throughout the 11 years on sale, the Exora has

700 km in one full 45-litre tank for the 2020 Proton X50 1.5 TGDI

Proton has announced today that the Proton X50 will have a claimed fuel consumption of 6.4-litre/100 km for the 1.5 TGDI (177 PS/255 Nm) engine variant and 6.5-litre/100 km for the 1.5T MPI (150 PS/226 Nm) variant. The tests are done using the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) method. Yes you read that right. The more powerful engine is more fuel efficient. Why? Because the 1.5 TGDI engine uses direct injection while the 1.5T MPI engine uses port injection. We also know that the Proton X50 has a

Perodua Aruz vs Proton Exora: The inevitable national brand 7-seater comparison

Before we start the story, allow us to clarify: No, the Proton Exora and Perodua Aruz are not in the same segment. The Exora is an MPV while the Aruz is an SUV. But the reason we’re comparing both cars together is because they’re similarly priced (the Aruz from RM 72,900, Exora from RM 59,800; before SST exemption) and they sit 7. If you’re wondering that the Perodua Alza would be a better comparison to the Exora, allow us to explain that though the Alza sits 7, it is more of a 5+2 setup rather

Was the Proton Exora pick-up truck a huge missed opportunity?

The Proton Exora, like the current X70, is one of the company’s “why didn’t we build these earlier” moments. For a country with big families and sophisticated tastes, the business case for an MPV almost seemed like a no brainer from the start. Instead, Proton busied themselves with that rolling-tower block on coasters, the Juara. It comes as no surprise that the Exora became a lucrative cash-cow, staying in the market for 11 years and counting. Yes, the Exora’s longevity and popularity might be

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.

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.
