How does the Corolla 1.2T perform on highways?
1 Answers
The 1.2-liter turbocharged engine of the Corolla may experience insufficient power reserve when driving on highways, and its acceleration performance at high speeds is relatively weak. While small-displacement turbocharged engines offer good fuel economy in urban driving conditions, their fuel efficiency is not as impressive on highways. Additional details are as follows: The Corolla's 1.2-liter turbocharged engine delivers 116 horsepower and a maximum torque of 185 Nm, achieving peak power output between 5,200 to 5,600 rpm and maximum torque between 1,500 to 4,000 rpm. This engine is equipped with VVT-iW technology and direct fuel injection, featuring an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a CVT transmission. This powertrain configuration clearly indicates that the vehicle prioritizes home comfort and practicality over performance and power.
