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.
Our family has run an auto repair shop for decades, and I've worked with all kinds of vehicles. The energy-saving principle of the Corolla Hybrid is quite practical. At its core, the gasoline engine operates in its most efficient range. At low speeds, it primarily relies on electric mode for propulsion. The engine only kicks in to generate electricity or directly drive the wheels when higher speeds are needed or additional power is required. During braking or coasting, the system converts kinetic energy back into electricity to recharge the battery. This avoids fuel wastage from engine idling while improving overall efficiency. The driving experience is smooth and seamless, with reduced emissions - making it both economical and eco-friendly for small families.
I really care about saving money, and the principle of the Corolla Hybrid has saved me a lot on fuel costs. It uses a battery and electric motor to drive at low speeds, such as starting from traffic lights, while the engine rests quietly. During acceleration, the electric motor assists the engine to work together. When braking, it recovers energy to recharge the battery. This alternating approach optimizes energy usage, keeping the engine operating only in its efficient range, resulting in a fuel consumption as low as about 4-5 liters per 100 kilometers, which is extremely friendly for daily commuting.
