Savvy makes national fuel economy record



Proton Holdings Bhd's Savvy compact car made it into the Malaysia Book of Records for travelling 1,614km journey through West Malaysia on 1.75 tanks of petrol, setting a fuel economy record for a standard showroom vehicle above 1,000cc.

Fitted with a 40-litre capacity fuel tank, the Savvy used 68.08 litres of fuel - about RM130.71 at the pump - or an average fuel consumption of 4.22 litres per 100km. The car travelled through all 11 states on the Peninsula in all road conditions.

In a statement on Sept 19, Proton said the one-year-old Savvy was designed to be fuel economical while being both dynamic and practical. The record-making feat, it added, also showed the durability of the car.

The company's media and public relations executive Gary Lee said: "It's a practical demonstration of what the car is capable of. It was also timely to demonstrate to our customers the car is fuel economical."

"In general all the cars in that category, small compact city cars, target fuel economy as one of their main criteria. But, by doing this we can show what the car can do instead of talking about it," he added.

Of course neo is better cos Savvy use torsion beam suspension on its rear, one tyre will affect the another, one tyre will leave the ground when another hit a pothole or hit a coner too fast, gen.2/neo use multi-link rear suspension which is fully independent. Vios and city use this suspension setup, another saloon car use this type of suspension for its rear is nissan sentra. Still many people think cars like Vios/sentra provides better ride&handling when all new Proton cars practically ownz thsese japanese models..badge snobs altitude I would say.

One can say Savvy chassis is very stiff which is a good point, only three tyres made ground contact when i was coming down from genting. It's pro and cons for every setup.

But its confrmed savvy has mor bodyroll cos the car is quite tall and narrow, it can be eliminated using lowered sprigns and frotn struts.

Jasonking is drving gen.2 rite.. I can confirm too Savvy both manual n auto has better pickup than Gen.2..ride & handling maybe on par at best

There's actually local owners with dark interior in savoc. ALL NEW SAVVY IN LOCAL MARKET HAVE DARK INTERIOR as confirmed by Amin the marketing manager from R3. Try to check with branch instead.

No not me ... I give credit when it's due. I'm defending Proton from attempts to defame them by using tak nak to proton avatar in LYN. That's even worse. it's just a knee jerk reaction from me.

Savvy's latest price I myself also not sure....need to check with my dealer too.


Jing_Kohkoh,

You said their price USD1.50 per gallon.

I think we can't use petrol price in the US as a comparison...their petrol is way too cheap..been subsidesed also.

True price is 15 times that!!

Hi the FC is okay only for a car that hasn't been run in properly lol? I think the FC is very good already .. have you sent your car for 1k service?

Anyway glad you make the choice..gratz on ur new Savvy..

Trust me after getting a Savvy, you won't feel like travelling on expressway anymore although it's stable at high speed...now I travel on b roads a lot. Love the ride n handling.

wow

I don't think it is...from the sideskirt and spoiler they aredifferent..can't dfferentiate the front thou.

Another angle

1st service should be only oil change! oil filter optional...pls go to reputable SC..

yea the spoiler could be better..

Some independent authorised service center can be cut throat.. just becos savvy has conti engine they wanna cheat people.. they throw in many parts change that is deem unnecesarry..my fren's pocket kena burn, i hate them cos it's a major turn off for potential owners. Pls stick to the recommended parts change in the service booklet.

Savvy use Champion spark plugs.

Pls calm down..just a slight misunderstanding..

Just done my 20k service!

only RM229!!! quite cheap considering the service interval is 20k.

needs only half day to complete the major service with thorough inspection checks...there's quite a lot of cars at SC thou today's weekday.

Yes, from what I read the ECU has self learning capablities. It will adapt to your driving styles.

Yes the ECU will adapt to your driving style affecting the fuel/air mixture and gear shifting, gives you good FC when you drives slow and keeping your engine in its powerband when you feel like going fast esp in automatic mode in AMT... if you drive slow, the air/fuelmixture will be leaner, less fuel burn...dun worry the self learning pattern can be easily derided if you change ur driving habit instantly.

Some people didn't understand well about Savvy's drive by wire and say the pickup is sluggish but in fact the power to weight ratio is good like what you said. It doesn't have that linear pickup feeling in conventional throttle by mechanical cable. let say if you are a fast driver, pedal to metal most of the time, the ECU and TCU will change gear in high RPM and adapt to your driving style and later even if you half press or fully press, the gear change is still in the same rpm band.

The only diff between MT and AMT is in AMT the ECU and TCU providing the gear shifting which is not controlled by us..

There must be 70% light penetration on the front windscreen and 50% for the rest...but last I heard tint film is actually not approved by the authorities..as long as it's not too dark and they can see ur face, it's ok la.

I had this tint film done on my savvy, RM250 on the front and RM280 on the 5 windows...the visible light penetration percentage is 70 on the front and 50 the rest.
