Under 2k RPM (Before the turbo boost), it still runs as a normal 1.6 engine. 2k RPM with the CVT, according to mat79, can go up to 93 km/h. So for city driving, most of the time you won't be boosting, except for overtaking, slope climbing and the occasional spirited driving.
In my experience with my Saga CVT, I can drive the car under 2k and reach 85-90 km/h, even during mild acceleration I can still keep it under 2k, so it is perfectly driveable in urban settings.
Of course once you reach highway speed, you will be boosting all the way, but running on turbo doesn't mean it is not fuel efficient.
i mean come on la, you buy new car, and drive below 2k rpm only ?
r u serious?
i mean like spend 70k on a new car, of coz you have to fully "ultilise" it, in term of RPMs.
otherwise why not just buy perodua Viva? certified fuel efficient car.
so why not tell us your Saga CVT fuel comsumption?
in term of RM0.xx/km?
so easy to compare and contract.
tq.
even 1.6A waja i think is around RM0.20/km for city drive, right?

A engine spining at 2,000 ROUNDs PER MINUTE to achieve 205Nm Torque
OR
MIVEc 2.0P engine spinning 4,250 ROUNDs PER MINUTE to achieve MAX 197Nm Torque
which engine need more fuel? Which engine will fly faster INITIALLY?
hm... did you calculate and drive all the way?
i mean realistic a bit la, you drive, you pump fuel, you pay.[
MONEY IS REALISTIC]
then count how many km can run.
isnt it more practical?
i believe driving a car, is not about maintain 2k rpm constantly right?
if traffic light become yellow liao, sure you
TEKANNNNNNNNNNNN minyak 1 ma....
