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.

With that interior color, I might get one to play.

you r right, new batch all black interior

any plan to launch Savvy highline model?

wow this savvy is seriously one thought car... for u guys info its handling is better then gen2....i have tried it....

it still can't beat the Neo
same corner, same speed the savvy has more body roll compared to the neo. plus not to mention the tendency to loose traction of the rear tires if the corner is too sharp and entery speed too fast.

it's not an apple to apple comparison though

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

not only is the body of the savvy tough, the paint finishing is equally tough as well. my sister had her savvy's bumper scratched by me in both occations (just woke up, and was quite blur) with my old kembara and neo and the paint on the savvy is still intact and paint transfer is from the other two cars. scratch mark is there, but atleast the paint still stays.

wah u scratch ur NEO ah? ...lol....if NEO didnt launch in the first place ....i am already driving a savvy right now ....heheh....but i am very happy wif my NEO though....even though its not fuel saving.....
