as i said earlier.. for cvt, you can only compare how low the rpm can go at what speed..

if there is load, the rpm will raise higher even though speed didn't.

Both 2.0 and 2.5 Teana are good and comfortable car to drive. How much of the RPM doesn't bother the owner too much. The difference are only the power and some gadgets. Both serve you seat comfortable from A to B purpose.

ya...u can only know at cruising speeds, the cvt will be at the lowest ratio.

the 2.0, 2.5 have different rpm at different speeds not because of the load, but because of the difference in final gear.

the 2.0 will have a higher rpm at 110 compared to the 2.5. the final drive is higher, which is crucial for the weaker 2.0 engine as it gives a more responsive drive compared to a lower final gear ratio.

i tot the owners were comparing their 2L models?

2.0, 2.5 or 3.5 also can...

i mean the ones who posted their data recently are 2L owners mah.. so people did compare apple to apple..

Out of curiousity.... Just wanna know what is the highest speed that have you drive your teana , be it 2.0, 2.5 or 3.5 and at what rpm is that?

yes it should help, but then again this is cvt it takes care of the load quite well.. final drives are more important for fixed ratio gearboxes.. the 2L is pretty fast compared to other 2L in same segment..

the 2.5 not so.. it's got CVT but it's not faster than my 2.4L 5AT akod.. both also 9.5 seconds range.. they should have given the 2.5 a higher ratio (maybe it could be in 8.5seconds range if so!).. maybe they know the VQ drinks alot of petrol so they revise upward for lower ratio.. based on past experience driving the cefiro with VQ no matter how it just drinks.

in comparison, the 3.5L teana can do 0-100 in 6.2seconds compared to akod 3.5L in 7.5seconds..

190km. Not sure of the rpm.


No auto lock.

Hey,
Mine is 2.5 and tested on MEX straight road (after Bukit Jalil exit). have seen it reached at 200 KMph and could still go higher. Because of the speed, i was too scared to have it pass 200 KMph mark and slow down..

don know about anyone else, scary to drive at that speed.

Toooo scare to go that speed...my balls not enuff big...

Me too old for that...but i saw in youtube, those thais speed their teana 2.5 v6 up till 210 km/h and speed cut at that limit..

Have you ever seen this bodykits around? Looking for one right now, one of the shops recommends this to me, please comment?

Me too.... Already old to do the top speed thing.... The most i do is 180km/h with the rpm at abt 4.8k to 5.0k.... Still feel solid....

Mine is 2.0l. Only done that 190km/h once with my family at NSE towards north after Yong Peng early morning at 7am, so probably no speed trap . It is a straight road. I release the pedal once it hit 190km/h when there were some noise at the rear. Not to sure what it was, maybe some small object on the road. It was scary too. I was worried about the tyres. After that, the max is about 160 to 170 km/h. At these speeds I am very confident about the car.

Teana 160km/h still stable because of its weight and combination of European-Japanese design platform also.

How much did they quote u, bro?

I m interested with its rear skirt only. The rest are almost the same as my current skirting....

I much more prefer this but cant find it here in malaysia.

Bro Webboy, total $1,400 with paint. Do you think the rear skirting nice? Would it a bit agressive ? In fact I try to get the original but they said the supplier can not sell to them bcos supplying to TC.

Ic, yeah i oso feel it a little bit agreesive too... Rm 1400 for whole set, i think is a good buy... The one provided by tc cost around 2 to 3 k if i m not mistaken...

From the picture, I dont really like the rear skirting, the artificial exhaust tail pipes looked a bit "misplaced" to me, so anyone has recommendation for the bodykits?
