Is the Toyota Corolla engine imported or domestically produced?
1 Answers
It is domestically produced. The FAW Toyota Corolla 1.2T model was officially launched in October 2016, and this engine is also the first small-displacement engine produced domestically by FAW Toyota. The specific details about the Corolla are as follows: Interior: The interior features a minimalist overall style, with a conventional dashboard design, spacious and comfortable seats, effective air conditioning, and good craftsmanship. However, some users have reported an odor inside the car. Recently, there have been numerous complaints about universal joint failures and in-car CD player issues, including unresponsive buttons, black screens, automatic disc ejection, and garbled text. Some users have also questioned potential design flaws in the steering gear. Handling: The overall driving experience is comfortable and stable. Users have noted that "it drives very smoothly and feels even more stable at 120 km/h on highways." However, the steering accuracy is low, and there is a noticeable sense of hesitation. Some users have reported issues with the car pulling to one side. The noise level is low, especially when idling, making it very quiet. The suspension is tuned to be soft, effectively absorbing road bumps for better comfort, but the brakes are somewhat soft. Due to the impact of Toyota's global recall, the 2011 Corolla comes standard with a brake override system, which has improved braking performance. Performance: The overall performance is good, with quick acceleration, though the initial pickup is sluggish. The engine noise is minimal, with users stating that "the sound is very quiet, and the interior noise is very low." The new dual VVT-i engine pairs perfectly with the CVT transmission, and the 2.0L engine offers ample power. The six-speed manual transmission is precise with clear gear engagement, but the four-speed transmission is relatively outdated.
