The role of the engine: The engine provides power for the car, determining its performance, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. Depending on the power source, car engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric motors for electric vehicles, and hybrid engines.
I've been driving a Corolla for many years, and I know it usually comes with a four-cylinder engine, such as the 1.8L or 2.0L models, which provide smooth and fuel-efficient daily driving. As an owner, I've found that the four-cylinder design results in minimal engine vibration and low noise, making it particularly suitable for city commuting—unlike some three-cylinder cars that can shake noticeably. Maintenance costs are also low, with annual servicing costing just a few hundred dollars, and reliability and durability are Toyota's strengths. Occasionally driving on the highway, the four-cylinder engine delivers stable power output, with smooth acceleration that pairs well with the automatic transmission for effortless driving. If you opt for the hybrid version, it’s still based on a four-cylinder engine but adds electric assistance, reducing fuel consumption to under 5L per 100km—saving money and being eco-friendly. Overall, the Corolla's four-cylinder engine is designed for practicality, with few long-term issues, making it ideal for families or commuters.
