How is the power of the 1.2T Corolla?
2 Answers
1.2T Corolla's power is not large, but it is definitely sufficient for daily use. Whether the power is enough often does not depend on the power itself, but on the driver's desire for power. After driving a high-horsepower car, driving a low-horsepower car will instinctively create the illusion that the car's power is insufficient, but in fact, the power is only reduced, and it does not affect the car's usage at all. Here is an introduction to the Corolla: The Corolla, formerly known as the 'Corolla' in Chinese, is a brand of Toyota Motor. The Corolla uses Michelin 215/45-R17 tires, TRD-Sportivo high-performance shock absorbers, TRD-TF4 17-inch sport wheels, reinforced clutches, and high-performance brake pads to ensure relatively ideal sports performance.
I think the Corolla 1.2T is sufficient as a daily commuter car. It starts off briskly and is fuel-efficient, and when the turbo kicks in, overtaking isn't sluggish at all. It handles rush hour commutes without any issues and cruises steadily on the highway. However, don't expect any strong acceleration—when you floor the throttle, the engine revs up but the speed increases gradually, and the engine noise is quite noticeable. The CVT transmission smoothens out the power delivery nicely, but in slow-moving traffic, it can feel a bit sticky when following at low speeds. If the trunk is fully loaded with four people and luggage, climbing steep hills might feel a bit challenging. This car is perfect for those who prioritize reliability and practicality. I've driven it for five years without any problems, and maintenance is cheap. If you're looking for a more thrilling drive, I'd suggest checking out other cars.
