Leiling 1.2T is a four-cylinder car. The following is a related introduction about Leiling: 1. Appearance: The new Leiling has added a sports kit for the sports version, including front and rear aerodynamic bumpers, a sports mesh piano black front grille and sports-style exclusive seats, etc. The gasoline sports version also adopts a low-profile body. 2. Interior: For the interior, the sports version has added red trim elements, distributed on the door panels and center console, and the red and black color scheme makes it more sporty. The overall design style continues the style of the old Leiling, with no obvious changes. In terms of details, the front and rear sliding function of the front armrest has been added.
I've been driving the Toyota Levin 1.2T to commute for several months now. It uses a three-cylinder engine, not a four-cylinder one. When I first bought the car, I was a bit worried that the three-cylinder might shake, but in reality, it runs very smoothly, especially in city stop-and-go traffic where the fuel consumption is quite low, around 6L/100km, which is significantly more economical than a four-cylinder. The engine sound is a bit deep at startup, but it becomes very stable once you accelerate; it's also fine for long-distance driving. I think Toyota's tuning is well done. If you consider maintenance costs, having fewer parts might make it more hassle-free, but every time I go to the 4S shop, I emphasize checking the engine balance device to prevent minor issues. Personally, I feel this car offers good value for money and is suitable for commuters. I recommend test driving it before buying to see if it fits your habits.
I have some knowledge about automotive technology. The Levin's 1.2T engine features a three-cylinder turbocharged design. Its advantage lies in achieving efficient power output from a small displacement while maintaining ideal fuel consumption, approximately 6 liters per 100 kilometers, making it more economical than traditional four-cylinder engines. The three-cylinder structure is compact and reduces engine weight burden, resulting in quicker response times. However, the downside is slightly more noticeable vibration at low speeds, which Toyota has optimized with a balance shaft. After driving this car, I found it perfectly adequate for city driving, with sufficient power for overtaking. However, engine noise on highways is somewhat louder compared to four-cylinder engines, so I recommend comparing it with other models in the same class when choosing a car.
