I think they only revised the final gear ratio, if mat speed only 165km i think the rev meter should be high around 110km/h, estimate around 3000rpm? So i dont think it will be quite good in FC compare to others MPV on the market.. Besides that in the 15.5second is just estimated, so if you are full loaded should be even worst the time. Still advice from my friend working in Proton... Wait for the manual version... Wow… 0-100km/h 15.5second, max speed 165km.
