What is the principle of the Corolla Hybrid?

Corolla Hybrid operates using the electric motor at low speeds and the engine at high speeds. The following is an introduction to the Corolla: 1. Introduction: The Corolla, formerly known as the 'Corolla' in some markets, is a brand under Toyota Motor. The Corolla is equipped with Michelin 215/45-R17 tires, TRD-Sportivo high-performance shock absorbers, TRD-TF4 17-inch sport rims, reinforced clutch, and high-performance brake pads to ensure excellent sports performance. 2. Space: The Corolla has been lengthened in body size, with a wheelbase of 2700mm after the extension. In terms of seating space, a 177cm tall tester adjusted the front seat to the lowest position and had a fist's worth of headroom. When the tester moved to the rear seat, there was 2 fingers' worth of headroom and 1 fist and 3 fingers' worth of legroom. The floor bulge in the middle of the Corolla's rear seat is very small.
As a regular commuter driver, I find the Corolla Hybrid quite intelligent. Its hybrid system combines a gasoline engine with an electric motor. During low-speed driving or traffic jams, such as stop-and-go conditions in the city, the engine automatically shuts off, and the car runs quietly on the electric motor alone, with minimal noise and fuel savings. When accelerating to overtake or climbing a hill, the engine kicks in to assist the motor, providing strong power. During braking, energy is recovered to recharge the battery, avoiding waste. This design stems from Toyota's accumulated expertise, optimizing real-time switching based on road conditions to reduce fuel consumption to around 5 liters. The daily driving experience is smooth and cost-effective, making it particularly suitable for frequent start-stop traffic.
