There's only one engine available in the Gen-2 saloon: a 110bhp 1.6-litre. But, for the same price, you have the option of a dual-fuel version that can also run on LPG. Both come with a five-speed manual βbox as standard, and the option of an automatic gearbox. The engine supplies enough pace for most drivers, with decent urge at any speed, although it is best at higher revs.
Proton-owned Lotus had a hand in developing the Gen-2βs chassis. The benefits are there in a decent drive, with suspension that strikes a good balance between ride comfort and cornering composure. Grip is good, but while the steering is quick to react to inputs, it canβt match the class leaders for feel.
Engine noise plagues the Gen-2βs cabin. Thereβs a constant drone around town, while even gentle throttle pressure brings with it a coarse, insistent tone. Road noise is present on most surfaces above an urban crawl and gets worse as speeds rise. Wind noise is present, but not excessive, at motorway speeds.
