The emphasis on the development of CFE focuses more on torque rather than horsepower.

Not in Malaysia, but some countries still use RON 88 such as in Indonesia.

As you know, Proton also exports car to Indonesia, so it had to design engine based on this consideration.

Such tuning also has to consider, whether the gearbox can tahan or not, especially the paired CVT.

Ford Ecoboost 1.6 litre, 150 PS, 220 Nm.

Turbocharging is getting more common though...

VW, BMW, PSA, Ford

Japanese and Korean manufacturers are not caught up in this though.

Fuel quality issue in some countries prevent GDI technology.

I would like to hear comments from Exora owners, for CFE real life reliability

Ah, sorry, I quoted wrong stuff
