You really have to rev it to get it going when you have 7 on board. But even with a lowly APV and 8 people, it actually works quite well. Gearing is often optimized by having short first and second gears. Not as torquey as a diesel, but gets the job done.
These budget MPVs are actually pretty light, just the same weight as a sedan. The BRV S and Xpander GLS both just weigh 1,240 kg. That's 25kg lighter than an Altis 1.6G CVT.
