2 Answers
Corolla 1.2T engine is durable. Below are relevant introductions about automotive engines: Function of automotive engines: It is the device that provides power for the car, serving as the heart of the vehicle, determining its power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. Depending on the power source, automotive engines can be divided into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrids. Common gasoline and diesel engines belong to reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, which convert the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston movement and output power externally. Engine maintenance methods: Use high-quality engine oil, use qualified coolant, regularly clean radiator scale, regularly remove carbon deposits from the car, replace the car's three filters on time, and maintain reasonable engine speed.
The 1.2T engine in the Corolla is quite durable. I've been driving this car for over three years, and the engine remains very quiet with smooth acceleration. Toyota uses high-strength materials during manufacturing to reduce wear and tear, making it capable of handling daily driving for 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers without issues. The turbocharging technology enhances power while also being fuel-efficient, but occasional rapid acceleration can put extra strain on the turbo. I make sure to change the oil regularly and clean the throttle body to maintain the engine's longevity. Even after driving on the highway for several hours, it doesn't overheat, thanks to its reliable overall design, making it suitable for long trips. To keep it more durable, avoid frequent hard braking and overloading—just gently press the accelerator. My car has already covered 50,000 kilometers and still feels like new, proving this point.
