kelaihoyin 5th Gear January 14, 2018 Share January 14, 2018 (edited) Should be multilink suspension on the rear as mentioned on their e-brochure taken from Singapore site. If it is 91k then really quite worth it considering is much better in driving performance than the Elentra and K3 albeit lack in certain features. Oh? They're both driving the Opel Astra 1.4 turbo? Yea 1.4T. Reliability think depends on luck also sometimes. So we shall see but for now so far so good.

Opel is owned by GM now... so maybe more reliable since GM has worked on reliable issues... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you say that?Nah Opel now owned by PSA so abit of uncertainty for the newer batch of cars.Oooo... I see... didn't realise it... two years ago, I was looking at the Chevrolet Malibu and then went over to look at the Opel Insignia... it was apparent that they shared the same parts bin... and the quality was better on the Opel compared to the Chevrolet... so I thought they were still under the same group...

xiaozhi86 2nd Gear January 14, 2018 Share January 14, 2018 Rear air vents is present since it is using electronic park brake. Priced at around 91k at motor show... come with 3 years servicing, 1-year road tax, 5 years warranty. Guess it's the cheapest 1.4T car around. A pity the rear suspension is torsion beam.Nice. The rear in the brochure is multi link. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro you zhun am... don't anyhow whack... Sgcarmart lists it as having multi-link beam rear suspension... There's nothing wrong with having a torsion beam. The Renault Megane has a torsion beam and the RS version is widely rated as one of the best handling cars in the world. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only models in their current lineup that uses PSA underpinnings are the Crossland X which uses the same platform as Peugeot 2008 and Citroen C3 Aircross (just lauched at Motorshow) and the upcoming Grandland X, same platform with Peugeot 3008 and 5008.
