Is the New Levin 1.2T Powerful Enough?
2 Answers
Toyota Levin provides sufficient power for daily driving. Below are specific details about the Toyota Levin: 1. Exterior: The new Levin has added a sports kit for the sports version, including front and rear aerodynamic bumpers, a sporty mesh piano black front grille, and exclusive sport-style seats. The gasoline sports version also features a lowered body stance. The sports version of the new Levin has a more distinctive and aggressive appearance. 2. Interior: The sports version incorporates red trim elements on the door panels and center console, enhancing the sporty feel with a red and black color scheme. The overall design style remains consistent with the previous Levin model, with no significant changes. In terms of details, the front armrest has been upgraded with a front and rear sliding function, improving practicality.
I just tried my friend's 1.2T new Levin, and it's perfectly adequate for city commuting. With 167 Nm of torque, it starts off briskly, and the front wheels even slip slightly when accelerating from a red light. The CVT transmission is as smooth as Dove chocolate, making traffic jams less frustrating. It easily reaches 120 km/h on the highway, and there's still power left after revving to 3000 rpm when overtaking. The most surprising part is the fuel consumption—we drove with the AC on the elevated road and only used 6.2L per 100 km. However, when fully loaded with the AC on and climbing slopes, you really need to press the accelerator deeper to build up momentum in advance. If you frequently drive in mountainous areas or enjoy aggressive driving, I'd recommend opting for the 2.0L version.
