If you go check the 1.2L turbo power numbers, it is quite close to the 1.8. Just that the response definitely different.
Still overpriced, but at least feel a little more worth it.
or maybe he left the automotive industry permanently already....all his kaki-kaki strategy tiba-tiba lost direction
anyway, let's wait patiently when he resurface up (or maybe he never will, just like the argentinian sub...)
I miss my idol!!!
This price range can get Tiguan 1.4T, Tucson 1.6T, or top up a bit for CR-V 1.5T. I believe all of them will be more fuel efficient than the CH-R 1.8NA, from my Elantra 1.6T experience.
The modern tiny turbo engine is really something. My combined mileage is over 13km/l on average, with average speed on odo only 32km/h. I spent quite some time in traffic light/jam, which pull down the average. 17km/l on highway 110km/h, 15km/l on highway 130-140km/h, with 160-180km/h on small occasion.
Civic 1.5T should be 10-15% more economy than mine. So I really think not using 1.2T doesn't only lose on power, it also has huge disadvantage on fuel economy unlese it sell at 90K like HR-V. Consider paying 50K for fancy bodykit on a HR-V. Haha
Also Toyota insists on proprietary infotainment globally, meaning no android auto, no apple carplay even for 2018 Camry in US.
