2 Ukubuyekezwa kwe-Proton Satria Gen 2004: Ukuhlolwa Komgwaqo
Kodwa yilokho kanye okwenziwa ngumenzi wezimoto waseMalaysia uProton ngeGen 2.
I-Gen 2 enezicabha ezine hatchback yakhiwe nge-Proton's Lotus Design Studio e-UK, okuyinikeza isitayela nokusebenza kahle.
I-Proton iphromotha iGen 2 ngaphansi kwesiqubulo esithi "isizukulwane esisha siyaqala".
Le modeli yayibalulekile ekushintsheni kweProton kusuka kumkhiqizi esebenzisa izingxenye zezinye izinhlobo ezifana neMitsubishi ukuya enkampanini ezimele.
Kuphinde kuphawule ukuvela kabusha kweProton njengomdlali e-Australia, lapho inethemba lokukhulisa isisekelo sayo sokuthengisa saminyaka yonke sibe ngu-5000.
Lokhu kuhlelwe ukuthi kwenziwe ngenethiwekhi yabathengisi ebuyekeziwe kanye nenani lamamodeli amasha.
Njengomzamo wokuqala, iGen 2 muhle kakhulu.
Ezincwajaneni, ingaphakathi libukeka linesitayela kakhulu.
Kodwa buyela esikhathini samanje, futhi inani lepulasitiki ne-faux aluminium lisongela ukweqa idizayini yezemidlalo ehlanzekile, engabizi kakhulu.
Isibonelo, iringi enjenge-butch esondweni lokuqondisa ucezu lwepulasitiki olubunjiwe olubukeka njenge-aluminium epholishiwe.
Okubukeka njenge-Excalibur broadsword hilt empeleni iyilever yebhuleki lesandla.
Ikhabethe libanzi, futhi ngithande indawo ephezulu yesihlalo somshayeli ngokusekelwa kwayo okuhle kakhulu kwe-lumbar.
I-trunk nayo inendawo enkulu, futhi isihlalo esisodwa noma zombili zangemuva zingagoqwa ukuze kutholwe izinto ezinde.
Injini engu-1.6 litre, 16-valve, dual-cam iqala kalula, kodwa idinga u-2000 rpm ku-tachometer ukuze ikwazi ukusheshisa ukusheshisa.
IProton inamandla afinyelela ku-82kW kanye netorque engu-148Nm.
Amandla amakhulu afinyelelwa ku-6000 rpm kanye ne-torque engu-4000 rpm.
Ngaphansi kuka-3000 rpm, injini iyama.
Vula i-A/C futhi kuzodingeka wehlise amagiya amabili angaphezulu ukuze udlule ngendlela ehlanzekile kuthelawayeka.
I-Gen 2 ikhokhe ngesethi yami eyintandokazi yamakhona anamagquma.
Umgwaqo owawunemvula wawungenalutho futhi uzulazula ngokuhlekisayo esigodini esincane sezihlahla.
Ngehle ngo-5500rpm egiyeni elingezansi lika-gearbox onamagiya amahlanu (injini iphenduka ifike cishe ku-7000rpm), nginyakaze ngokukhulu ukushesha nangokukhulu ukushesha.
Amarev awakaze ehle ngaphansi kuka-4000 rpm, okukhombisa isilinganiso esiseduze kakhulu se-gearbox.
Ukumiswa okudizayinelwe i-Lotus kwagcina i-Gen 2 iphiniwe ezindaweni ezishelelayo ngaphandle kokugoqeka komzimba.
Ilandelele amakhona ngendlela emangalisayo ngempendulo yesiteringi yamandla ebikezelwe.
Ngisho nasemashifu ambalwa emuva, ama-hairpins akhuphuka, i-front-wheel drive ayizange ibambelele ekudonseni.
Ngikholwa ukuthi i-Gen 2 izofika njengokushaqeka kwangempela ezimbangini zayo ezikhangayo mayelana nokuphatha.
Umbuzo uthi bangaki abanikazi bazo abazoshayela kanje? Kunama-hot rodder ambalwa afuna i-hatchback e-nimble, kodwa umthengi ojwayelekile wezimoto ezifana ne-Gen 2 ngabagibeli, hhayi abafuna ubumnandi.
Mhlawumbe ukuklanywa kabusha okulula kohlelo lokuphatha injini kuzoletha amandla asebenzisekayo engeziwe kanye ne-torque ebangeni eliphansi le-rev.
Edolobheni, i-Gen 2 kulula ukuyisebenzisa, ibonakala kahle nxazonke, ishintshashintsha kalula kanye ne-clutch ekhanyayo.
Umaka omkhulu ku-speedometer uma ulinganiswa ku-50 km/h iyisikhumbuzi sesivinini esiwusizo.
Kunomsindo omkhulu womoya kuthelawayeka endaweni evunyelwe ngenxa yezivalo zamawindi.
I-downshift ukuze iqhubeke nesivinini futhi injini inomsindo futhi inokhahlo uma iqhathaniswa nezimbangi zayo eziningi kuleli phuzu lentengo.
Emigwaqweni emibi, imoto yokuhlola yayibonisa imisindo edlidlizayo.
Ngenkathi ijika ngesivinini esiphansi endaweni yokupaka izimoto enezitezi, kuzwakale umsindo wokuchofoza ngaphambili emotweni ngezikhathi ezithile.
Kodwa-ke, kufanele kugcizelelwe ukuthi i-Gen 2 ehlolwayo kwakuyinkampani ethwala imikhumbi esondela ekupheleni komjikelezo wokuhlola onzima.
Izimoto zokukhiqiza kufanele zibe ngcono.
Enye indawo iGen 2 ehlale inconywa ngayo kube ukubukeka kwayo.
Umsebenzi wesitolo sezimoto ubecabanga ukuthi i-Alfa Romeo.
Bengizithanda imigqa eswooping, amalambu abukeka enolaka, nengemuva elihlanzekile, kodwa ngacabanga ukuthi amasondo abukeka emancane kakhulu kunosayizi womzimba.
Kusukela ku-$17,990 futhi ngokuzikhethela kufika ku-$22,990, i-Proton Gen 2 iwumzamo wesibindi wokubhekana nezilwane ezidla ezinye ze-compact car pool.
