their loyal fan still said the previous engine still good when they launched the camry. Maybe sales too poor hence they need to launch this dynamic force. inb4 d-segment car is dead sales

poor sales i would say is due to many reason
but 1 of them is UMW pushing the prices way too high

i no comment on both NVH as i dont own any of them.

But those extra feature such as reverse camera, 360 camera. is really like try hard to have it on there.

quality cam harambe.

corporate will not bring in something that does not yield profit. market has shown, everybody is folking to buy SUV.

i don't think it's about profit already
it's malaysia side is always slow in everything
i think when a new model is released, our brand here need months to discuss what spec to cut away before releasing it here

just look at honda, everything also slow
our neighboring countries already driving it for months, thn only release here
from the new civic to city hatchback
now the new HRV and BRV also...they even covered it up like it's something new (and that's SUV that u mentioned)

high chance the e:HEV model won't even be released here

current popular delay reason, mco and covid-19

My driving experience with 3 cylinders engine

1. Annoying high RPM - but with the use of D7 gearbox, can maintain <3000rpm around 140kph. Not really problem now

2. Engine noise - Due to high RPM, but it is not really an issue now due to #1

3. Vibration when idle - Engine still new, have to wait for few years to comment

4. Bestest fuel consumption - Less moving parts = good FC.

excuse only when thailand and indon both already released it
the one that is in the middle didn't get it

i though this is low already?

faster than umw. we getting for few years of current-gen Camry with older engine while Thai already had this 3 years ago. And as usual all local spec HU by UMW is poor on most their model.

What? I thought 19 cyl is today's standard?

Yes good enough. Unlike my old SLK, 110kph is around 3500 RPM, driving at 140 will scare die you

guarantee faster than UMW
honda is like 6 months slow
UMW is like 3-4 years slow and then cut kaw kaw the spec

reminded me of the old W211 E240 2.6NA with 5 gear auto. around the same rpm at that speed. the W212 Facelift with 7G had much lower rpm at high speed.
