What is the range of the Levin E+?
2 Answers
According to official data, the pure electric range of the Levin Twin Engine E+ is 55 kilometers. The combined fuel consumption under PHEV mode is 1.3 liters per 100 kilometers, and under HEV mode, it is 4.3 liters per 100 kilometers. If calculated based on the 4.3 liters per 100 kilometers fuel consumption, its maximum range in HEV mode is 930 km. Adding the 55 km pure electric range, the combined range can reach 985 kilometers. Below is more information about the Levin Twin Engine E+: 1. The Levin Twin Engine E+ is equipped with a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine, which uses the Atkinson cycle, resulting in very low fuel consumption. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine in the Levin Twin Engine E+ has the model code 8ZR-FXE, with a maximum power of 73 kW and a maximum torque of 142 Nm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 2. The electric motor paired with this engine has a maximum power of 53 kW and a maximum torque of 207 Nm. 3. The front suspension of this car uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I've been driving the Levin E+ for over half a year now, and range is my top concern. The official data claims about 55 kilometers in pure electric mode, but in my actual city commuting, it's around 45-50 kilometers, depending on how you drive. If you drive aggressively or use the air conditioning, the range can drop to just over 40 kilometers. Fortunately, its plug-in hybrid design means that with a full tank, the total range can reach nearly 1,000 kilometers, so there's no need to worry about charging on long trips—gas stations are everywhere, and refueling takes just five minutes. Charging is quite convenient; plugging into a household socket for three to four hours will fully charge it, and electricity costs are more than half cheaper than fuel, saving me several hundred yuan a month. In terms of driving experience, the acceleration is smooth and quiet, and maintenance is simple. Toyota has a good reputation for reliability. I think it's perfect for office workers like me—short trips are covered by pure electric mode, and long trips are worry-free.
