New Contibution by Baldwin.
Here are the comparison between the Proton Waja CPS & Waja Campro and something that local car fanatics are waiting for; Head-to-head reviews on this two models.
Twilight blue Waja CPS on the Left & Burgundy Waja Campro on the Right.
Notice the lower ride of the Campro version which is due to the standard 55 series tire compared to the 60 series fitted on the CPS model for increased comfort in sacrifice of the sharp handling & high speed stability.
The bonnet design has changed since the sportier looking Alfa beak has somehow aged with time. OEM height adjustable 4300k Xenon comes as standard compared to the “aftermarket” 6000k Xenon on the Campro. Indicator & Fog lamps gets a makeover on the new bumper as well. The newer ones are no longer crystal type for signals and projector for the fog lamps.
Side mirrors are electrically foldable on this new make which proves to be convenient & useful in urban parking situations.
A closer look at the front hood reveals a change in the color of the emblem and of course a much larger sized one. Honeycomb design grille on the lower air intake of the bumpers has also been reverted to the straight lined ones.
110bhp Campro versus 125bhp Campro CPS. (Cam-Profile Switching) with “TYPE-R” wannabe; red rocker cover.
What lies beneath the hood is the most exciting compared to the other makeovers.
Its the latest powertrain jointly developed by Proton & Lotus that marks a milestone and the completion of the so called ‘Campro engine project’, as it’s finally integrated with the variable valve lift technology –CPS and coupled with variable intake manifold –VIM that enhances air intake at every rev range of the engine by a short & long runner switch-over mechanism. The CPS engines also come with an oil cooler due to its higher operating temperatures.
The infamous torque dip of the Campro at 2.5k RPM has improved in this new engine and so is the annoying, over-sensitive gradient sensor that downshifts at weird moments on the road.
Interior remains unchanged except for some minor details like instrument panel fonts and the stylish gated shift. Driver & Front passenger airbags now comes as standard. OEM Clarion single-disc player has dropped the Bluetooth capability but added playability for Windows Media Audio (WMA) audio files alongside MP3.
