Cons
- Suspension couldn't absorb major bumps (Omoda 5 does is better)
- Engine wasn't too smooth
- Deficient of power/torque
- Sport mode on Steering still feels too light (no feedback at all)
- Sport mode itself did little to change the characteristics, just held the gears longer
- 51L for 2WD & 57L for AWD which is too dang small
- Permanent AWD & fuels consumption is not that great
- Gimmicky exterior door handles, sked proton-like issues

Pros
- Affordable for what it is (a mini knockoff Land Rover)
- Cool aircond
- Android auto/ Apple carplay without much fuss
- Seats are supportive
- Rear trunk spacious
- Non intrusive LKS
- Rear seats are great for old people and wasn't too bumpy
- FULL SIZE SPARE TYRE


If given a choice, probably will spend for an Emas7.

No max drove was 80 which was the speed limit. But really wasn't that happy with the driving dynamics

Took sharp turns at quieter roads.

But at least turning radius wasn't too bad

eMas seems better road handling & suitable for Malaysia rough road surfaces.
China car more soft ride and less aggressive flooring of the pedal, correct me if ayam wrong.

There is an ECO mode, which is FWD right?

Engine is quite smooth, I don't feel any noise, and there isn't any chance for me to drive faster on the test route.

Were you able to test the RPM at 100km/h?

Tested all 3 modes whilst driving
Didn't go further than 80kmh due to speed limit
Rpm at 100kmh = fuel consumption, which isn't what I look into that much yet

Better follow long term reviews for that
Rough engine during acceleration in all 3 modes (FWD) Mode

3 modes only? Then you are not testing the AWD model, or even in an AWD model, not testing the AWD modes.
