Greetings to all sifu's here.
Currently on the process of deciding of getting myself an Inspira, but cant really make my decision on 1.8 CVT or 2.0 CVT
Can any proud owner here giv out some comment in terms of performance comparing both the 1.8 CVT and 2.0 CVT? What I'm trying to clarify is how much more powerful of the 2.0 compared to 1.8 in terms of pick-up response. Yea pick-up is important for me

. The difference between those 2 will it be obvious? or juz slighty better?
P/S: Yea i did tried to google for the comparison between the 2 and did use the search button for some homework but cant really find a clear cut answer and reading all from V1 to V8 is gonna make my head go
If you all got any link to share please provide and I'll do my homework
Thanks in advance....Cheers
Besides pickup, what are your other factors considering both versions? The 2.0 has more goodies inside for its price.
If you compare pick up between the 2 CVT variants, quite obvious the 2.0 has more pickup and torque to pull it, esp uphills. If you compare 1.8MT & 1.8CVT, then 1.8MT will win in pickup. Between 1.8MT & 2.0CVT is quite subjective. If CVT uses its paddle shift, it will be on par with 1.8MT when it is on gear 1 & 2 (both reaching redline), after which 2.0 will be able to beat 1.8MT when 1.8MT engages 3/4th gear onwards.
I own a 2.0 and I sat in a 1.8CVT before, I can feel the 1.8 needs to work harder (and a little louder) to pickup. If the price is not a factor, get the 2.0.
