Confirm 150hp can work without stress and sweat. 170hp above the cvt has to be strong to handle the abuse.

having more power is at standby only mah.. on demand when you need it.
if you don;t need that, then just rev to medium rpm, max torque lor.. as you know, max torque, the power isn't 100% it;s around 60-70% only wat.. have 30% more on standby is useful but doesnt mean you dont need to use rev to 6k rpm everytime.
its like why drive a 2L car when 1.5L can pull you point A to B? more power standby at your pedal mah.. not to say need to rev all the way when driving right?

more accurate to use torque..155hp lancer GT oso use cvt wat

haha, and in honor of a fellow engineer who likes crazy frog.. tailor made malaysian car..

Added on February 15, 2012, 10:50 pmyes gearbox is usually see torque figure, but power does come in due to rpm, not every gearbox can tahan 8000rpm at say 300nm,... hence got power limitation also..

rm75k ....so many features wor...

cannot compare like that. the lancer's uses a torque converter

the lancer's cvt is a much larger unit, in fact, it has the specs of the 2.5L taena.

the 2.4l sportback, which uses a cvt, has 226NM of torque

u can refer punch website on how they categorize their VT series on their specific application..they are specialist btw

im aware of that. both are very different CVTs

one uses a torque converter, another does not.

also, the Jatco unit is one of the smoothest, was even mentioned by journalists.

Is CFE Campro standard on all variant of the Proton P321?

Proton may decide to stick with a crappy normal Campro on the lower end model like what they did on the Exora.

On a side note, CVT is not the best transmission to use if you want best 0-100 km/h acceleration time. I hate the mundane 1-tone noise of a CVT. Prefer either a manual or autobox with tiptronic

1.6 IAFM+ manual
1.6 IAFM+ 6 speed CVT
1.6 CFE 7 speed CVT

look at golf, from 2.0turbo gti to 1.3 diesel. all using the same body.

proton might do this too, it make sense. not everyone needs a turbo

the slyphy one feels very punchy.

Haiz, not even CPS. Malaysians had to endure another round of being cheated and shortchanged by Proton

Not when your baseline engine sucks. I understand economy of scale but they could at least include CPS on the lower end model right.

Even the basic Volkswagen polo which retails for less than 15,000 euro uses a smaller cc 1.2 litre TSI. Good for 105 hp.

cuz the engine is very torquey, despite the low horsepower.

good example that 0-100 doesnt matter, the torque curve is the most important.

why only cvt for CFE? why?

FLX 1.6 SE olso got auto only

I believe that's because IAFM+ was developed for CVT. CPS, nope.

1.6 IAFM is really a turn off. Like buying a persona facelift + added accessories.
1.6 CFE is real deal.

opps, sorry, typo, i was going to say, jatco in proton/mitsu feels very powerLess.

the one in slyphy is very punchy, i was blown away totally by that uncle car......damn, every step on the pedal, i stick to the chair, no joke. a slyphy, imagine that.

sorry ah, FLX SE is also CVT

theoretically it is.. because during 0-100 it's the only gearbox that doesnt drop rpm like normal fix ratio gearbox i.e. maintain full power of the engine throughout the 0-100 duration. of cos in reallife cvt also got many types.. some good some so so..
