FORD TO OFFER FUEL-SAVING CYLINDER DEACTIVATION TECH FOR 1.0 LITRE ECOBOOST; GLOBAL FIRST FOR A 3-CYLINDER ENGINE
29-NOV-2016 | COLOGNE, GERMANY

Accord g8 3.5 v6 had these features last time. Cylinder deactivation. For fc matter, why make it v6 and 3.5 size engine remain my inquiry.

6 inline rear wheel drive, the best of the best

Mazda pun ada deactivation. For its 2.5NA.

But malaysia tak ada

Don't worry, Malaysia need a long time to see the new engine... they already engineered the PFI 3pot for future Proton models.

thats cheating, thats still a 3 cylinder engine

like a cpu, a core sleeping doesnt mean the cpu has 1 lesser core.

I believe MG4 will be same 3 cyc turbo same as Ativa, another record of sales.

So will the new 4cyl engine wins the China Best Engineering award like its predecessor 3cyl but then looking at the output likely it will not or will the XC40 also switch to using it? Can't wait for the Volvo guy who came out last year to justify the 3cyl engine now have to change his mind.

But do hope they do change the new engine from timing belt to timing chain. Well one can assume that the new engine should be something like this>

Model: gep-3 from Aurobay

Spare parts how 5 years ltr.

3 cylinders are more efficient than 4 cylinders. but they rev slower than 4. Some experts says best engines come from 3,6,12 cylinders. while 4,5,8,10,12 makes the best sound and better NVH.

EV cars need charging stations, which needs electricity, which needs power generators, which need fuel. Petronas can still make money.

physics = more cylinders more better
end of story

Had tried v6, family old E-Class. It indeed superior on engine vibration, just that it struggle to get 10km/l for W211 E240 v6. Average on meter 7-9km/l.

Cylinder activation has been around since the 1980s.
this is a first for a 3 cylinders car.


the point is they have make a 3 cyclinder car tat can run on 2 cylinders.

modern 2 cylinder cars do exist.
google tata nano, suzuki celerio diesel, VW XL sport.

Who cares about fuel efficient. You save that little bit of fuel only. Petrol.is cheap. NVH FTW.

Just placed a booking leh, should I hold on first?

I don't think we get to see the 4 Cylinder model anytime soon, considering X70 is also switching to the 3Cyl model.

3 Cyl not well perceived in China, but Malaysian don't seems to have issue with it, look at Perodua Resale value for Kelisa/Kenari

VW very well perceived in China, but Malaysian hate it.

Different market have different needs.

Lol thanks to proton help to clear the old stock in X50😄😄😄
