Looks like they are replacing the Punch CVT in the IRIZ to a 5 speed AT

That model is probably standard version, hoping to see the exec and premium version to judge completely.

Specs for new iRiZ already out on pauline and other auto blogs.

Looks solid until you see the safety spec with 2 airbags on the standard variants. Guess you can’t have it all when you have the price range.

well depends on the tyre brand and model but I would say those are reasonable priced tyres for the size

Good pricing from P1 on the Iriz

Might consider the 1.3 Exec to replace my aging Kancil at the end of the year or so.

i’ll go and book a test drive unitfor both variants first. The performance of the 1.6 engine doesn’t seem to spark my confidence.

Anyone knows which Proton dealers in Selangor/KL have the new FL Iriz available for test drive?

Disappointed with the dealers in Negeri Sembilan as they said only upcoming weeks they will receive the test drive models.

was looking at pioneer also so probably talking about this models (?)

Sadly they didn't have it

They all mentioend that they haven’t received their test models yet and would take 1-2 weeks to get them. I’ll just drive up to Selangor/KL to look for one.

Mind sharing which exact dealer in Puchong has them? thanks

Apparently I’m not the only one looking for the Iriz test drive model from other states, theres even an uncle I’ve meet at Proton Chan Sow Lin all the way from Melaka lol

Thanks!

Details please
Noted, thanks for the heads up

Went to Chan Sow Lin to test drive the latest Iriz 1.6 premium yesterday and here’s my 20 cent on it and will compare some aspects with G3 Perodua MyVi and the previous Iriz FL (MC1). Not gonna talk about exterior cause that is personal preference.

Interior
+ The dark uniform interior looks better in person and has a nice touch to it.
+ yes the wheel knobs for the A/C feels more solid than previous version.
+ New GKUI is more responsive than previous version but has noticeable lag as well.
+ Semi-leather seats are really comfortable and you won’t slide as much when cornering
- The car signal sound is kinda annoying to hear imo (prefer the subtle sound like in Perodua cars)

Performance
+ Suspension is definitely better on Iriz and soaks up potholes/uneven roads quite nicely.
+ The updated CVT GB is more responsive however still has some delay when moving from standstill.
+ NVH is also better now but you can still hear the CVT roaring (?) during hard acceleration.
- Brakes modulation feel a bit too hard even when you light press on it (Probably my legs on this one).

Overall feel of the CVT is acceptable, not on par with a conventional AT but it’s almost there in terms of smoothness and natural. pickup is good as well when you floor it and overtake vehicles. IMO, the noise from the CVT is acceptable, not until deafening or anything. Can’t really describe it tbh.

I can’t really comment on highway conditions cause the top speed I was able to get was 80 Km/h on the test road with the rev around 2K rpm.

nice

hope you can do an in-depth review

no worries

My concerns are just towards some stuff like
1. FC
2. Handling
3. CVT performance (especially hard acceleration from 0)
4. NVH on city & highway

The rest I’ve already concluded from my test drive recently

Haven't heard any problems yet on the new Iriz, probably still too early to conclude lol

lol

sounds like the problem plaguing MyVi reached the new Iriz ?

Not sure if related to the new Iriz but owners of the MyVi G3 have noticed rattling noise from either the front or rear part of the car. Case being was probably due to insufficient padding in the door panel or the seal between the fender and the tyres.

wrong post

Ah yes, even the test drive model feels the same.

Pressing lightly on the brake level and the brakes wuite hard dy
