2 Answers
Toyota IZOA engine is imported. The relevant information about Toyota IZOA is as follows: Body size data: The vehicle has a body length of 4390 mm, body width of 1795 mm, body height of 1565 mm, wheelbase of 2640 mm, front track of 1550 mm, and rear track of 1550 mm. It is a five-door, five-seater SUV model with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters and a luggage compartment capacity of 289 liters. Manufacturer: The manufacturer is FAW Toyota. FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. was jointly established by China FAW Group and Japan Toyota Motor Corporation in June 2000. Its headquarters is located in Tianjin, China, and it is a Sino-Japanese joint venture. The company's predecessor was Tianjin Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.
Last year, I bought an IZOA for my son and specifically inquired about the engine at the dealership. The salesperson mentioned that the car is now assembled and produced domestically, with the engine manufactured at the Changchun plant. Although Toyota's technology is consistent globally, the M20A series engines used in the IZOA are all produced by Tianjin FAW Toyota Engine Company. I checked the engine compartment's nameplate, and it indeed indicates domestic production. In fact, the localization rate of engines in joint-venture cars is quite high now. Mainstream models like the Corolla use the same domestically produced engines, making maintenance and repairs even more convenient. If you truly want a fully imported engine, you might need to consider premium imported models like Lexus.
