    I just ordered a 2022 Hijet Jumbo from Next Ride. Its the CVT but its going to live in the city 95% of the time so I'm okay with it being slow.

    Nice. You'll love it. Don't worry about the comments on these videos claiming the truck not able to do 100km/h because it certainly will without any issues on the freeway. Congrats on your order.

    Ross Reviews Again you're wrong the CVT easily does 100km/h I've done 120 km/h buddy. So has my fellow hijet CVT owners. You've mentioned GPS equipment was used but that still proves nothing because no Speedo is 20 km/h off. I also happen to know the owner of the green hijet you tested he's proven beside my GR Yaris staying beside me at 120km/h. So you're gonna say my GR Yaris is off too buddy?

    i can tell you that the CVT absolutely struggled to hit 100kph.. im sure it can on the HWY but i was doing over a half mile and couldnt get it to hit 100kph (yes using the Dragy timing gear) it might say your doing 120 but i can assure you its not

    Again that’s incorrect we hit 100 entering the freeway on the on ramp which is not half a mile lol. Whatever you experienced that day has never happened to us your equipment is wrong. Like i said no speedo is off by 22km/h as you are implying according to your equipment results.
