Yes this 4G64 has a same mounting like 4G63 / Evo 4 to Evo 7 or perhaps to Evo 9 !!!.....possible to down grade.....no hassle....since original it uses Mitsu engine ....not like Hyundai .....the16 Valve Mitsubishi wording  still on the Cylinder Head ....and in the Reg Card...clear stated ...4G64 engine ......

If to save road tax .. and more power ....and have deep pocket....can downgrade .....yet still enjoying RM 625 rebate meh .....now for 2.4 they only reduce RM 200 for road tax....if not I pay up to RM 700 ++ !!!! sighhhhhhhh......

On the bright side....Petrol price is in reclining pattern ......make me smile wider ....and always ready in 'Sport Mode' he he he........

haiz, don't say downgrade engine lah, the 4G93T is more powerful..later evo owners come in bash u then only u know

tweaking sound ....resolve .....the funny sound is bcoz the small gap between the mid dashboard and the odometer clear plastic cover.....just use double sided .....the other is at your left front passenger door......identify .....but not yet wanna resolve........small matter....

Updated

Today visit my ***** Polis Tapah uncle .....Total mileage Shah Alam - Tapah - Shah Alam ( 320 KM ) FC RM 70 .......speed 90 -110- 130 - 160 KMH !!!! estima also can be potong at the speed of 140KMH !!! use left lane ...since the estima refuse to go left .......merc 230 .....also cant catch up at 150KMH ......!!! make me more sayang this monster.....!!!

Review

Just do allignment yesterday ( still not satisfied ) ....still  a bit running left ......will go again to Sri Muda.....during high speed at 160KMH ....this Chery MPV is stable even at Sungai Buluh corner heading to KL at 140KMH ..........I'm also not believe it ....but.....believet IT !!!! stunning !!! Try at your own risk ya....

But from 130 - 160 KMH ....a bit heavy .....takes some time and skill ( using normal auto ) ...if potong biasa .....just tekan the pedal ......it works ....smoothly .....

On the suspension overall performance is ok ( compare to avanza / innova / naz ria ) ....but if choose 17 or 18 inch rim .....might be helpful in traction and grip ( wider tyre ) might be needed ....compare to the std rim and tyre....

I prefer an aftermarket adjustable absorber or larger rim to counter the gap between the arch especially at the back .....will find an aftermarket absorber once the std worn out .....

My wife keep nagging to slow down ....when I'm in a 'Sport' mood.....but .....hu hu.....just try this MPV capability .....for those who will own this MPV.....you will agree with me....but think about your loves one.........first .....he he ......

for a sport mode ......bigger rims / adjustable suspension / wider tyre ( possible at the rear ) , body kits .....nyum nyum ........

sorry guys still can't resist my 'sport' mode.........since feel like drive a sport car !!!!.....rupa rupanya a MPV .....damn !!!

* Sorry .....my fellow Naza Ria  / Innova /  Livina / Merc 230 / Estima .......... just rush to the toilet .......!!!!

All used MPFI with an 86.5 mm bore and 100 mm stroke. The 4G64 was also available with gasoline direct injection. The version used in the Chrysler Sebring/Stratus coupes produced 152 hp (110 kW) at 5500 rpm with 162 ft·lbf (214 N·m) of torque at 4000 rpm. The Chrysler version features fracture-split forged powder metal connecting rods. The 4g64 is an interference motor like the 4g63.

haiz, don't say downgrade engine lah, the 4G93T is more powerful..later evo owners come in bash u then only u know

U know the frontal design looks like VW Scirocco? 

no la .....4G64....torque is ok ....I think 2.0 DOHC 4G63 is enuff to run this chery ....even China already have Acteco 2.0 engine for this MPV .... 4G63 HP is higher ........ 4G64 of course bigger engine ....more road tax ....no cash rebate but with lower maintenance ......got pro and cons la......

the reason is anytime I can swap with 4G63T ......if buy ploton 1.6 mau upgrade 2.0 pun susah ....meh .....now 2.4 turun 1998cc ( 2.0 ) .....kurang cerita la......???? at least have option maaaa.....

Added on October 29, 2008, 4:55 pmalso can bolt on by maintaining the same 4G64 or mod to DOHC 4G64......no issue........

halo boss.....bad interior ....i.e. cushion material only la.......that one you can change to semi leather .....full leather .....or nice sporty or normal fabric.....

so buy a car doesnt you can get everything meh .....no perfect car la my fren.......

"i would wan to buy a car which give me all in one package.. as u said earlier, bad interior can be decorated.. WITH WHAT?!
with 80k, i rather opt for avanza, grand livina, or even innova.. more pricey yes but at least they give me peace of mind "

Bad Interior ....the cushion material only maaa.....can change to leather or fabric......and why you border .....you not wanna buy this Chery aren't you ?????

I said If I got money ...I will change the engine ......IF I GOT MONEY ....AND ITS NOT FOR EVERY ONE ....faham tak ????? now you have made me use CAPITAL LETTERS.......

and where got 80K brand new INNOVA ......you want to compare Avanza with Chery 2.4 cc ????? lawak la lu ......

Anyway....this thread for Chery Owners or interested in Chery MPV only .......so please use the exit door.....TQ Boss....

anyway, im interested in how inferior this chery mpv is.. so im ok in this thread i guess 
yeah, i havent see the real car and have no intention to do so.. but judging from other people reply and ur reply, i think this sux
capital letter so what

Yo Dude, post all you like but have some respect please... Why respect? This thread is started by Chery lovers and hence it's meant for Chery owners and those interested in it. 

To come here and criticise and calling it inferior without facts is not beneficial nor respectful, and hardly qualify as interest. It's like someone saying you have a "slutty" wife/gf without even knowing her When asked to stop, that person said, I will continue because it's my interest to talk about how "slutty" your wife/gf is... 
(no offense intended, but if you feel offended, then I guess u probably understood how we the Chery owners or lovers felt by your statements and presence here). Hope you see the huge difference between flaming and sharing...

Now emotions aside, why Chery Eastar? Coming from a person who have seen/compared and test drove Avanza, Grand Livina, Rush, Citra and Rondo (all below RM90k MPV). Innova is out because it's above RM100k, guzzle petrol like mad (have friends who own it) and looks like a van.

I was skeptical of China cars too before I went to see the Chery. But what I saw (and tested) blown me away.

My comparison:

CHERY EASTAR 
Engine: Mitsubishi 2.4L SOHC 16V
Max Power: 95kw@5500rpm
Max Torque: 198Nm@3000rpm (the best compare to others!!) 
Min Turning Radius: 6m

TOYOTA AVANZA
Engine: Toyota 1.5 DOHC 16V
Max Power: 80kw@6000rpm
Max Torque: 141Nm@4400rpm
Min Turning Radius: 4.7m

TOYOTA RUSH
Engine: Toyota 1.5 DOHC 16V
Max Power: 80kw@6000rpm
Max Torque: 141Nm@4400rpm
Min Turning Radius: 5.2m

NISSAN GRAND LIVINA
Engine: Nissan 1.8L DOHC 16V
Max Power: 93kw@5200rpm
Max Torque: 174Nm@4800rpm
Min Turning Radius: 5.2m
For what I'm paying, I'm getting: 

1. Nice elegant look, esp the beautiful LED rear lights.
2. Good features you can only find in higher price MPV: Dual Airbags, ABS, EBD, Steptronic (auto & manual transmission), Mitsubishi 2.4L engine, 16" alloy wheel, CD + MP3 player with USB, Dual Tone Horn.
3. Good petrol consumption from the feedbacks here, RM100 for 450km.
4. Sleeker than Avanza/Innova/Serena but roomier than Avanza/Grand Livina/Rush/Citra/Rondo. Sits 7 people comfortably.
5. Auto thermostatic adjust air-con with blowers on last 2 rows.
6. 3 years warranty and 1 year free service. Use Mitsubishi spare parts.
7. NCAP Safety Rating of 4.

RM80k only now, mana boleh dapat from other brands?

My main criteria is a powerful MPV for my big family yet roomy and affordable. So far only Chery Eastar matched these criterias. 
If you bother to do some research, you should see all the answers above to your questions.

Chery Easter come with 1 free year service (parts and labours) and 3 years warranty or first 100,000km. 2 years extended warranty is also available making is a total of 5 years warranty with unlimited mileage.
I don't think it is available at any market at this moment....even proton only limited to 150,000 km....

imperialrealcs: hey bro, I bought the A-FUJI absorber from you for my wira last time remember? Anyway, dun lar ketuk My Chery brand.. Its just like your A-FUJI absorber marr.. A-Fuji Absorber. Satisfactory performance for the price!!! Just like CHERY!!hahaha!!!

    Cheers~!! 

bullshit aside, the eastar was using 2.4L engine so whats so proud with the higher torque?

Not proud lar, but WISE... Yes you are right, of course 2.4L have higher torque, but that is NOT the point.

The point is: Where to find sleek, spacious and powerful MPV with Mitsubishi 2.4L engine that gives 198Nm@3000rpm but cost only around RM80k? 

Now that is smart buying, and smart way to consider... price/performance man. It's a sleek MPV some more, can sit 7 comfortably without loss of power.

So please dun hantam for the sake of hantam. Makes u look silly... 

oh yeah? i thought people are avoiding from having high capacity engine? i bet the fc will suffer compare to other alternatives
sleek or not i dont know but we dont judge power purely from torque, horsepower is equally important.. isn't it abit too low for a 2.4L engine?
hence back to my initial question, is the 4G64 2.4L a fail engine?
sit 7 people without loss of power, u must be joking
or u mean the power is still adequate to move the car?
neither way, it makes u look silli-er
oh ya, u forgot something.. must remember to "renovate ur internal with sport cushion" lol
