Is there still a 1.6L displacement Corolla?
1 Answers
The 1.6L displacement Corolla has been discontinued due to the automobile energy-saving subsidy policy. Energy-saving subsidy policy: The Ministry of Environmental Protection has strict standards, with tax reductions for displacements below 1.6L. Both 1.6L and 1.8L models are no longer suitable. As for issues like the higher maintenance costs and higher failure rates of turbocharged engines compared to naturally aspirated ones, they cannot be resolved in the short term. Reducing displacement is a major policy direction and an overarching trend. The specific reason for discontinuation: The 1.6L Corolla was gradually phased out starting from the second half of 2017. By 2018, the 1.6L displacement models were no longer available in many regions, which was a significant disappointment for many consumers. Meanwhile, the 1.8L models, due to factors like limited styles and unreasonable pricing, resulted in poor sales and consequently scarce production capacity.
