2008 FLASHBACK >THE PROTON GEN2 CPS
By iz • Nov 11th, 2009 • Category: ! DAILY LATEST INFO, PROTON
Today, for the flashback segment in KDI, we would like to post about the Proton Gen2 CPS.it is mainly due to many request from our readers who asked about the Proton Gen2 CPS.
PROTON GEN2.
The Gen-2 was initially codenamed the Proton Wira Replacement Model, hinting that the car was to replace the Proton Wira. The name Gen-2 is an abbreviation of ‘Generation 2′, to symbolized the 2nd generation of the very successful Wira as the 1st Generation.The Gen-2’s platform is also used by the Proton Satria Neo (with a shortened wheelbase) and the Proton Persona (with an extended rear hang to form a more sedan-like body).
The Gen-2 is an important mark in Proton history as it was the first Proton car with the new Proton Campro engine, and with this facelift it gets a new series of engines based on the Campro.
PROTON GEN2 CPS.
The Gen-2 CPS comes with the Proton Campro CPS engine.This engine made its Malaysian debut with the Proton Waja Premium CPS recently. It produces 125 horsepower at 6,500rpm, and 150Nm of torque at 4,500rpm, while also making at least 139Nm from 3,000rpm onwards.The new CPS engine uses two technologies to achieve the new higher output and torque levels. One is CPS, a camshaft profile switching system which changes over at 3,800rpm and enables a higher valve lift. The other is VIM, which stands for Variable Intake Manifold. A longer intake manifold is used at low RPMs to achieve slower air flow; this promotes better mixing with fuel. The short intake manifold allows more air in faster, which is beneficial at high RPMs.
A very impressive aspect is the CPS engine’s fuel consumption. When kept at sane speeds, it is capable of sipping fuel to the tune of 6.6 litres for every 100 km (five-speed manual).
For the interior,it is adopting the Persona’s interior featuring a redesigned dashboard without the odd clock in the middle and gaining a glovebox. The door trim is all-new, also from the Persona, and features power window switches on the door arm rest instead of in the middle of the two front seats.
The highline version gets leather seats and an interior playing with a red on black colour combination. It also gets Dual SRS Airbags, ABS brakes, and EBD, while the medium line version only gets a driver’s airbag. Something new for the Gen-2 and cars in this segment is Automatic Cruise Control, available on the high-line version.

Gen 2 CPS lagi power 125 bhp manakala Spectra5 hanya 120 bhp.
Kia Spectra biasa 1.6 pula hanya 107 bhp manakala Saga BLM 1.3, 94 bhp.
WIll Gen2 be phased out next year? I just booked one, hope my decision is correct..>.<”

Untuk renungan. . . Saya beli sebuah gen2 CPS baru, dealer proton tel kata keta boleh ambik jumaat petang… Keesokannya, lebih kurang jam 11pg bawak isteri n anak jalan2, sesuatu keajaiban berlaku. . . . Nak belok kanan, signal tak menyala!!! Try belok kiri, signal tak menyala juga.. Sy berhentikan kereta, try lampu hazard, tak menyala juga.. tak sampai 24jam ambik keta dah masalah… lepas tu terus pi eon servis, dia orang kata mmg panel tempat lampu hazard n fog lamp rosak… ingatkan boleh terus repair, tp kena order barang, 2 minggu baru sampai, adoi… sy bw keta tu tak ada signal selama 2 minggu!! Lepas tu lampu amaran tak pasang seat belt tak menyala.. pas tu plak baru perasan skru pintu sebelah kiri tak ada!! pegi kedai eksesori, dia orang buka pintu dan jumpa “klik” jatuh bawah, dia pasang balik dan taruk skru… tak sampai 2 minggu dah masalah… bagi saya, proton seolah-olah tak belajar daripada kesilapan lalu…
one_gen2,
lampu amaran tak pasang seat belt tak menyala -> This is not installed for local G2, it’s for export version.. :)
Other issue, can go and check with SC.. :)
Stanley, betul ke warning signal tak seat belt not installed for local gen2, aku baru jer notice lampu tue mmg tak menyala…kalau betul untuk local tak pasang…takde masalah la nampaknya…
Gen2Junior,
Ya, betul. Confirm seat belt warning light hanya untuk Gen2 export version, local version tarak…
ingat baru nk hntr SC…salesman pun takde cite pasal tue…aku baru pakai Gen2 CPS…tq bro Stanley…
U’re welcome.. Tapi if you send to SC, SC will tell u the same also.. :)
