![]() ![]() It runs as how you’d expect a modern 1.6 litre engine would run, but the engine sometimes loses power in what seems to be random occurances at first but in the end we decided that the power to the wheels dropped very noticably, far, far more than a typical car whenever the aircond compressor kicks in. There is just one complaint that we found about the CPS engine. Low engine speeds are beneficial because it allows for improvement in fuel economy and comfort. Smaller engines tend to cruise around 2700rpm at 80km/h. MASALAH PROTON WAJA MANUAL MANUALThis is similar to the cruising speeds of most 2.0 litre cars with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed auto transmission. The CPS allows the engine to cruise at 2,000rpm at speeds of 80km/h and approximately 3,000rpm at 110km/h. The other interesting fact that we noticed was the cruising engine rpm at cruising speeds. This show that engineers at proton have done a tremendous job in improving the engine. The CPS was definitely a joy to drive with better acceleration on the third, fourth and fifth gear within the 2,500 – 4,500 rpm engine speed range. Not the CPS – it took off effortlessly from fourth gear. Sometimes you have to 3rd gear on a manual Campro just to overtake a slower car in front. The previous Campro was sluggish at low engine speeds and the normally one would need to rev the engine higher to get it going. Although the torque peaks at 150Nm at 4,500 rpm, there is plenty of torque available across the band. The CPS engine produces 125hp at 6,500rpm and 150Nm of torque at 4,500rpm. The CPS is a totally different engine compared to the Campro S4PH, it’s more aggressive when you need it to be. The most notable difference about the CPS is the smooth and responsive drivability thanks to the 13 percent increase in power output. ![]() Plenty of bends and straights which allow for some overtaking sprints. The car was put to test on the Senawang – Tampin – Segamat trunk roads which offers a rather spirited drive. With the CPS System finally available with the Campro engine, we decided to test the Waja CPS where the new engine performance figures would really matter. The test unit came with a manual transmission although we were hoping for an automatic version – let’s face it, an automatic would have been ideal given the traffic conditions in the city, but nevertheless the car lived up to expectations. Now, in the latest reincarnation of the Waja, we’re given the new Campro CPS 1.6 engine.Īt first glance, the car is still the same on the exterior but the first drive held some promising facts. We are familiar with the Mitsubishi 4G18 which powered the first batch of Wajas followed by the S4PH Campro engine which made appeared in the Waja in 2006. Read our report on the Waja CPS after the jump. We finally got our hands on one recently. This publication wrote about this car a couple of months back following its showroom appearance with some details into the car’s factory performance figures for comparison. ![]() It’s still pretty much the same car with a new engine and a couple of new features over the previous version. More than 292,556 Proton Wajas have been sold between 20, and of which, the variants powered by the 1.6 litre Mitsubishi 4G18 engine made up for the bulk of total sales, followed by the 1.6 litre Proton CamPro S4PH / CPS and lastly, the 1.8 litre Renault F4P.The Proton Waja CPS 1.6 is not entirely a new model to begin with, going through a number of facelifts. The development of the Waja began at the end of the 1999, together with the Campro engine, however, the development of the Campro engine was still in progress at the time of its launch, and therefore Proton had to outsource various engines for the Waja between 20 such as the 4G18 engine for the Waja from Mitsubishi. However, the Waja's chassis was based on the Mitsubishi Carisma. The Proton Waja is the first model designed in house by Proton. In the United Kingdom, it was sold as the Proton Impian, in which Impian was another derivative of the Malay language, meaning dream. The name Waja, which means (strong as) steel in Malay has both physical and abstract connotations. The Proton Waja is a saloon car manufactured by Malaysian automotive company, Proton, first released in August 2000. ![]()
