1. A lot of owners said it's underpower 154hp NA for 1500kg++
2. CVT, despite different architecture (more durable) there is less promotion emphasize/explained it.
for underpower:

Exora CFE weight 1465kg+-, max torque at 2k rpm compared to Subaru XV 2.0 NA max torque at 4k rpm. So, you feel it less powerful compared to Exora.

Arguement on power is inconsistent, because u see the 1.8L from Toyota Cross, although other countries getting DF 2.0 also complain slightly underpowered,
Malaysian will worship the 18 years old 1.8L Dual VVT-i like no tomorrow

Malaysian choice on car is largely based on brand rather than features, the people are more comfortable with staying with old and reliable tech than to try out new tech that may not be unreliable.

Most people only can have one main car and rely the car heavily for daily activities.

If macam VW DSG issues keep on have to masuk workshop then not good liao

Problem is the newer tech may be reliable as well, say the newer Dynamic Force engine from Toyota which also not very new already since 2018

Because of how Malaysian is very happy with the old 18 years engine, we somehow became the dumping ground for these old engine even from Toyota, but hey most of Malaysian are happy about it, why bother introducing newer engine?

You'll notice more ppl critic the Geely 3 pot that is developed in 2018 as old tech (same year as new DF engine from Toyota)
rather than criticizing the 18 years old Toyota dual VVT-i as old tech.
