The Corolla Hybrid is equipped with an upgraded 1.8L Atkinson cycle engine. Thanks to the electric motor, it not only maintains driving performance but also improves actual fuel economy. The hybrid system allows the gasoline engine and electric motor to work in synergy, fully utilizing the advantages of each power source and efficiently controlling output distribution, thereby achieving high acceleration performance, quietness, low fuel consumption, and low emissions simultaneously. Overall, the power performance is quite good. Here are the specific details about the new Corolla: 1. Meaning of Corolla: The new Corolla, also known as New-Corolla, features a trapezoidal front-face design in its 11th generation, aiming to bring happiness and joy to everyone in the world. 2. Exterior Design: The 11th-generation Corolla adopts a trapezoidal front-face architecture, with the Toyota emblem at the center. The front grille and headlights extend to both sides and slightly curve upward, fully embodying Toyota's Keen-look family design style, delivering a striking and sharp appearance. 3. Dimensions: To meet the space demands of Chinese consumers, the new Corolla's wheelbase has been extended to 2700mm, and the rear legroom has been increased by 75mm to 960mm, providing more spacious seating for rear passengers. 4. Powertrain: An 8-speed S-CVT transmission with a manual mode, specifically developed for the Chinese market, offers a smoother driving experience for the new Corolla. It also introduces a sport mode for enhanced driving pleasure. Additionally, the upgraded dual VVT-i engine and F1 aerodynamic guide fin design further improve fuel efficiency.
I've been driving the Corolla Hybrid for over half a year now, and its power performance is truly impressive. At startup, it's powered by the electric motor, which is incredibly smooth and quiet, with a much faster response than pure gasoline cars. During acceleration, the engine intervention is very natural, feeling like a friend giving you a push. In city commuting, overtaking is effortless, and starting at traffic lights is never sluggish, with noticeable but not abrupt back-pushing force. On the highway, the power is continuous, and the engine sound is deep without being noisy, with a combined fuel consumption of just 4.5L/100km, saving a lot on fuel costs in the long run. The overall driving experience is comfortable and efficient, and even when fully loaded with family members on uphill climbs, it doesn't struggle, with strong tire grip and no floating sensation. It's capable for daily commuting or small trips and definitely worth a try.
