2 Answers
Leiling Hybrid engine is a powertrain system consisting of a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine combined with an electric motor, where the engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 99 hp and the electric motor provides 72 hp. The Leiling Hybrid is a compact sedan produced by GAC Toyota, classified as a new energy vehicle. The dimensions of the Leiling Hybrid are 4645mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1480mm in height. Based on the standard model, the Leiling Hybrid incorporates several new design elements, including a more robust chrome trim on the grille that integrates seamlessly with the new LED headlights. The front fascia features an adjusted larger grille with trapezoidal trim outlining.
The Leiling Hybrid uses Toyota's renowned hybrid system, with a 1.8L Atkinson cycle engine that's incredibly fuel-efficient. As a three-year owner of this hybrid, I can tell you the most amazing thing about this engine is its seamless coordination with the electric motor—it runs purely on electric power in traffic, combines with the motor for stronger acceleration when you press the throttle, and directly drives the wheels during highway cruising. You barely notice it working—it's as quiet as an EV, and it shuts off automatically at red lights without any vibration. Fuel consumption stays around 4.2L per 100km, and a full tank can cover over 800km. With fuel prices so high these days, saving money is the real deal.
