Just did my own Exora Bold acceleration video biggrin.gif

Everything stock.
138horsepower, 205Nm torque.

Air-Cond ON - Fan Speed 1
No passengers on board.

0-100km/h - 11s
100-150km/h - 17s

For an MPV, quite impressive i must say, especially 0-100.
But 100-150 is rather tame... 17s?
Which do you think is the bigger limiting factor? The CVT or small-ish, albeit turbocharged engine?

I too, think that the 100-150km/h time could be less, especially considering that I did not turn off the air conditioning.
The rpm did drop a bit although I am certain that I floored the pedal throughout. CVT gearbox characteristic, maybe?

I didn't look at the vid earlier... just looking at the figure.
On the CVT, i got to know that it behaves quite peculiarly where it disallows the engine to 'redline'. Yeah i know it's not a race car but I'm curious on how much that affects the turbo spool.

For the folks reading this forum, feel free to chime in, otherwise feel like talking to a wall sometimes.

Ok. Thank you for being welcoming. At least that doesn't make me feel like a busybody.
I think Exora Bold is the best value product proton has to offer right now although there's still a lot of room for improvement. Minor things are like fit & finish and overall built... but it all adds up. Hoping for huge leap in quality for the next gen. I'm not too obsessed with badge prestige and willing to pay > rm100k for a proton, provided it's good enough.

Have anyone realized that the dyno chart comparing CFE, CPS & 2L is not realisti?  Wonder why we cannot out accelerate a 2L car as it appears?

You mean the chart on first page? That's just torque figures smile.gif

And due to CVT perhaps?

Tint your rear windscreen & 3rd row "windows" to 90-100%
