2 Answers
The maximum horsepower of the Corolla 1.6L engine is 122P. Corolla 1.6L Engine: It adopts VVT technology. VVT stands for Variable Valve Timing system. In the engine operation process, the valves frequently open and close. In traditional engines, the valve overlap angle is fixed, but now the technology used allows computer monitoring and real-time control of valve opening and closing. Horsepower: It is a commonly used unit of power measurement in engineering. It generally refers to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. By convention, 1 metric horsepower is equal to the work done to lift a 75-kilogram object 1 meter per second.
I remember when I drove the Corolla 1.6L, the horsepower was around 132. It was perfectly adequate for daily commuting in the city, with smooth and non-abrupt acceleration, and it handled highway overtaking with ease—though it didn't offer strong push-back sensations, it was very stable. The fuel consumption was particularly economical, averaging 6-7 liters per 100 km, and even running the AC in summer didn't add much pressure. Different model years might vary by a few horsepower, but 132 is considered the standard value. I drove it for several years with simple maintenance, just oil and filter changes, and the car remained in great condition. If you're considering a balance between power and cost, this model is really practical.
