Watwheels Supersonic September 8, 2023 Share September 8, 2023 Thinking of changing car? Hehe I think it's quite a good car given the interior is spacious, the 2.0L dynamic force engine is fuel efficient with their proven hybrid drive train. 150hp from the petrol engine coupled with the electric motor I think acceleration wise should be quite effortless. Compared to the 170hp petrol engine from the rav4 I think they could have reduced the piston speed to better achieve fuel economy by slowing the combustion process. The electric motor could easily make up the power deficit. I think sgcarmart has a review on it. One thing I do like about Toyota design is the all round visibility(for the driver) not found in many cars. At least for the front half of the car given it is a hatchback-suv design. Strangely this is one of the things not mentioned in car reviews anymore. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should eliminate the carbon build-up on the valve top. The electric motor is also new. Engine is also newer M20A-FXS. Also different is the rear suspension - now is double-wish bone. I think the previous or some models is torsion beam. This model not much Youtube on it. Across the border version is Made in Malaysia with 1.8L engine.

Found in the device linking it to DENSO TEN, mostly own by DENSO, largely by TOYOTA and partially by FUJITSU. The Android Auto is wired although I would habe preferred wireless. One nice feature, like in my Corolla Altis, that it is possible to navigate in underground tunnels thru Google Maps. Still learning hiw to use the basic features.🤣 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus point is the underground navigation for Android Auto. Apple Carplay from info I received is cannot. Now also need to test out the OBD2. P.S. BM I feel, as usual don't give a lot of features to B&B range to avoid "robbing" higher end models.🤣 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shunyang 1st Gear December 11, 2023 Share December 11, 2023 Just got mine last week. A very comfortable suv to drive. fast pickup and stable. The most beautiful thing is the ACC and petrol consumption is low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shunyang 1st Gear January 7, 2024 Share January 7, 2024 (edited) @Credor After the 1000km servicing . the engine smoother and mirage improved .attached is the detail from north area to town both small and highway. Full tank can go about close to 750 -800km. I think . Edited January 7, 2024 by shunyang 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
