Really nice, but could have better MPGs. Really cool design, the engine combined with the longitudinal F4 and rear solid axle make for a very unique car.
In general the engine is the main questionable point. Its specs hint at it having quite high turbo pressure, and a bit too large turbo (late max torque, low compression). Though the turbo might be limited by the unusually small size of the engine (especially considering it’s 4x4 and not as light as a typical car of this size). Also front drum brakes I know they’re better for offroad, but I don’t know any modern car (offered in Europe at least) with those.
I like the overall idea, resembling the Panda 4x4, the chassis design seems to be well suited for offroad, I just think there’s some room for improvements
Psst… I wanna know what that “C” in the engine designation stands for
You’re right on point. It’s supposed to go against the Fiat Panda (hint: the name)
Yes, the engine is kind of questionable, the turbo is weird yes. But it actually does pretty good off-road
About the drum brakes, yeah even I don’t know any cars with front drum brakes these days. But hey, they are better off-road and also cost-cutting
About the engine letters, I’ll probably make a different short little post explaining that
But the “C” in the end is a sort of overall classification of the engine based on quality, smoothness, reliability, torque curve, etc.
It is indeed very unique. The MPGs, yeah it could be much better. But I had to do really heavy tuning to get 109hp from a 799cc 3 cylinder with -15 quality so lost some efficiency in the process
Oh damn, why?
cost, likely. 109hp could actually be overkill. I’d suggest using a lower power tune on the surrent engine for base, with a torquier and more efficient tune, and then cloning the engine family and popping another cylinder in for higher trim.
why do i sound like abg right now
Another questionable aspect of the design is that it uses a body that is available as early as 1995 - one of the smaller '08 Tezda bodies in a hatchback body style would be more fitting for 2022.
I think that the Tezda’s don’t really work with this kind of car (it doesn’t look right with such high profile tire/wheel size combos), and the body gives it a quirky look.
In that case the small 1-series-esque body would be a better choice in my opinion - as I’ve stated before the choice of body (and also the headlight fixtures and wing mirrors) makes it look outdated and more appropriate for something made in the late '90s/early '00s.
Ha, cost cutting
How else do ya think it’s $10700
The engine bay of this body is super tiny
Also I will work on the engine when making a facelift.
I was looking for something very compact, like the Fiat Panda
The tezda bodies seem too big to me
Blockquote
I do agree that it looks pretty dated. But looks isn’t really the thing here. It’s all about a full off-road package for cheap
The new 2022 Veso Rex
The perfect mix of everything. We have improved a lot over the previous generation Rex. With rising fuel prices, owning and maintaining a car has become more expensive than ever before. This is why we have made the new Rex as fuel-efficient as possible. The Rex is the most fuel-efficient car in its class achieving 6L/100km (39.2mpg or 16.7km/l)*. Along with the advantage in fuel efficiency, it also offers great performance with two punchy engine options on offer. A quick-shifting DCT gearbox comes as standard. Semi adaptive dampers also come as standard, making it very luxurious at the back seat. The cabin is well-insulated to prevent road, tyre and engine noise as much as possible. When you put your foot down, the bypass valves open up so you can hear that amazing engine pulling you through the air! It is, really the best of everything. Here is everything you need to know:

Founded in 1996?(!)
Hmmm, that could make for some interesting lore.
Yup! I still need to edit that post and add a lore there. For now I’ve just kept it at founded in 1996 by Matthew (I’m gonna change his name)
