2 Answers
15c4e car engine is the first generation. Below are the details about the 15c4e engine: 1. Power: This engine is a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The maximum power of this engine is 133kw, and the maximum torque is 285 Nm. The maximum power speed is 5600 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 1500 to 4000 rpm. 2. Direct injection technology: This engine is equipped with direct injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The use of aluminum alloy cylinder head and block can reduce the weight of the engine, thereby improving the fuel efficiency and handling of the car. 3. Transmission: This engine is matched with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The dual-clutch transmission can improve the car's shifting speed and transmission efficiency.
I've driven a Toyota hybrid for many years, and the 15c4e engine is the second-generation engine used in the Camry Hybrid from 2012 to 2017. This generation is slightly better than the first, with horsepower around 188, offering fuel efficiency and stability, though it can't match the updates in the third generation. During maintenance, pay attention to the engine oil and air filter, as it's a bit sensitive—regular checks can extend its lifespan. My own 2015 model uses this engine, and although it's a bit dated, it runs smoothly for daily driving, which is better than the cost of buying a new car. The key to the hybrid system is keeping the cooling system clean to avoid overheating damage.
