if u base on horsepower basis, no doubt the low tech 4g64 has better torque, but by how much, a negligible, close to 9nm of torque. your fuel consumption would be higher since its not a fuel efficient engine. 2.4 vs 2.0 is not a fair fight. if u want to compare proper engines, think of the toyota estima 2.4 or toyota alphard 2.4.

wait till the proton mpv comes out, i bet most owners of the chery mpv would be in tears.

i quote from paultan.org

According to Naza Kia, the new Rondo is built on the D-segment new Kia Optima platform and also shares the Optima’s sweet new GEMA-based 2.0 liter DOHC CVVT engine producing 145 horsepower and 189Nm of torque, mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission with sequential manual shifting. The GEMA engine is a joint project between DaimlerChrysler, Hyundai and Mitsubishi. The 4B11 in the Mitsubishi Lancer is also based on the GEMA family.

which ncap are u referring to? all ncaps are different, the ancap and euro ncap are totally different things, different test basis.

i have nothing against china made cars, but their tech is still much away from any major manufacturers. the kia is using a mitsubishi based engine which has more parts and tuning parts, which can easily swallow the 4g64 underdeveloped engine.

kia rondo has 4 star ancap test (http://www.mynrma.com.au/cps/rde/xchg/mynrma/hs.xsl/ancap_kia_rondo_lhd_08.htm)

sohc vehicles lack top speed, mind you, i owned a 1.8 litre sohc mitsubishi lancer . good pickup, but lack the top speed!

you maybe right  or you maybe DEAD WRONG

as a user i am happy with my Chery

somehow, china car has no resale value

look at naza sutera. rebadge from haboi something also has no resale value

but if you are not planing to sell it, it may be a good car, if parts dosnt give you a headache

look i do not want to find trouble here. im just merely comparing and stating facts, so feel free to correct me if u think i am wrong. i just think that the chery was a bad idea to begin with, think of the chery A160 sedan. its hardly making much sales and impact

i am feeling free to correct you as i think you are wrong - very wrong

as a user for 1 week with more 400 km including Genting trip - i am happy

i used to drive Honda CRV - it was a good car for certain reasons

BUT now i have a bigger family and i am not interested in top speed driving and also fed up of paying summons

so i myself have test driven Rondo and have checked out the Livina and Rush and the Innova
so far me and my children are happy with our Chery - whatever you say

ive seen hafei lobo breakdown in my hometown, brand new car cant start after 2 months of owning, poor fella has to stand by the roadside hoping for rescue, haha, too bad its a guy, so no point helping, lol.

oh yeah, whatever u say too, like i said, i dont care, just read above, will you. i am still single and even if i started my own family, you would most likely not see me in an MPV, period. enough with people polluting the world with low tech engine and overpopulating the world, increasing the CO2 content in the atmosphere. although you may think it is non related, but as a socially responsible driver, think what u are doing the environment

... but the chery showrooms arent available outside of klang valley, AFAIK

no.. different engine... Grandis using 2.4 Litre 16-valve SOHC (4G69) , which is more powerful engine.
