2 Answers
The Corolla offers three engine displacement options: 1.2, 1.5, and 1.8. Below are the detailed specifications: 1.2T Corolla model introduction: Equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 85kW and maximum torque of 185Nm, paired with a CVT automatic transmission. 1.5 Corolla model introduction: Equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 89kW and maximum torque of 148Nm, paired with a CVT automatic transmission. 1.8 Corolla Hybrid model introduction: Equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine plus electric motor, delivering a maximum power of 72kW and maximum torque of 142Nm, paired with an E-CVT transmission.
I remember the Corolla has been sold in China with several engine displacements. The older models commonly featured a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, known for its smooth power delivery and fuel efficiency. Later, the newer models mainly promoted the 1.2T turbocharged engine, which provides strong power on highways. In recent years, the focus shifted to the 1.5L three-cylinder engine, which actually has minimal noticeable noise when driving, though it vibrates a bit during cold starts. The hybrid version is particularly popular, featuring a 1.8L Atkinson-cycle engine paired with an electric motor, offering silky-smooth acceleration and fuel consumption as low as just over 4L/100km. Overseas, there's also a 2.0L version, but it wasn't introduced in China. Currently, dealerships mainly offer the 1.5L and 1.8L hybrid models, and the choice between pure gasoline or hybrid depends on how far you drive daily.
