Driving Experience

The 1.3L Dual VVT-i engine provides noticeably better acceleration and smoother highway cruising compared to the 1.0L variants while still maintaining excellent fuel economy. Steering remains light and easy for urban driving, while the suspension tuning prioritizes comfort and stability for Malaysian road conditions.

Although paired with the older 4-speed automatic transmission instead of newer CVT systems, the gearbox remains reliable, smooth for daily driving, and inexpensive to maintain.
