Why does the Corolla 1.8L only have 98 horsepower?

[DiDiana]

Because the power of hybrid models cannot be calculated solely based on the engine. The 98 horsepower only represents the engine's output, while the system also includes the power from the electric motor. The 98 horsepower comes from a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine. Since it is a hybrid model with electric motor assistance, the engine does not need to have very high horsepower. After all, the electric motor itself provides a maximum of 72 horsepower and 163 Nm of torque, which is sufficient for daily use. Role: The engine is the device that provides power for the car, acting as the heart of the vehicle. It determines the car's power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental performance. Depending on the power source, car engines can be classified into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric motors, and hybrid engines. Function: An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy. Originating in the UK, it can refer to either the power-generating device or the entire machine including the power unit (such as gasoline engines or aircraft engines).
