Toyota Levin provides sufficient power for daily driving. Below is a detailed introduction to the new Levin 1.2T model: Power Configuration: Equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 85kw (116ps) and a maximum torque of 185 Nm, paired with a 10-speed CVT transmission. Model Dimensions: The new Levin is a 4-door, 5-seat compact sedan with a body length of 4640mm, width of 1780mm, height of 1455mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. Configuration Features: Includes practical features such as brake force distribution, brake assist, traction control, tire pressure monitoring, lane departure warning system, and keyless entry.
I've test-driven the new Levin 1.2T several times and found its power quite reliable for daily use. This small-displacement turbocharged engine delivers quick acceleration from standstill with responsive throttle input, making it perfectly adequate for overtaking in urban areas. However, it feels somewhat subdued during hard acceleration on highways, lacking the punch of larger displacement engines. What I particularly appreciate is its smoothness - almost no jerky sensations, paired with a CVT transmission that makes driving effortless. In terms of fuel consumption, real-world tests showed less than 8L/100km in city traffic jams, dropping to just over 6L on highways - fuel efficiency is its strong suit. The cabin offers ample space, with rear seats comfortably accommodating three adults. Overall, this engine is perfectly sufficient for commuting or family transportation, though driving enthusiasts might find it lacking in excitement.
