Proton Exora Bold Premium CFE 1.6 CVT

Hi guys, the Exora Bold is pretty good, more powerful and looks better now. Check out my little review

Both driver and passenger side also have arm rest..

 

Finally we managed to find time to test drive the Exora Bold last weekend. Can say I couldn't stop smiling (or was it grinning from ear to ear?) all the way from start to finish. The torque was simply superb. We were pleasantly surprised with the short driving experience that we had.

Like any other normal car.

Say you're driving a normally-aspirated Exora CPS, would you consciously make an effort to keep the rpm below the 2000 mark while driving off when the lights turn to green?

I don't get your point actually. but to answer your question anyway, without the turbo spooling it would behave just like any other 1.6-litre nomarlly-aspirated engine.

I beg to differ, by theory it should be worse than a normal 1.6 NA car. Reason, the engine compression ratio is lower compare to NA version.Turbo= 8.9:1 compare to NA= 10:1 .

Thats the weakness of turbo, low end sux before the turbo start spooling.

When it has CVT shouldn't it just raise the RPM above 2k whenever you try to accelerate hard?

VW Touran 1.4 TSI, 1.9 TDI and Ford Galaxy 1.6 TDCI had the same issue. No power before the turbo kicks in. But then it's nice
