What are the advantages and disadvantages of Corolla dual-engine E+ besides fuel economy?

The domestic version of Toyota Corolla twin-engine E+ was introduced by Toyota in 20 19. The price range of this hybrid model is 207,800-230,800, which is more expensive than the fuel version of Corolla. Why do most riders choose the dual-engine E+ version instead of the fuel version? The reason is energy saving and environmental protection, so what are the advantages and disadvantages of this car?

The appearance design of the dual-engine E+ version of Corolla is almost the same as that of the fuel version of Corolla, only the details are distinguished, such as the blue logo on the air intake grille and the sealed middle net. Headlight configuration, the whole system comes standard with LED headlights and LED front fog lights, and some models also include daytime running lights and automatic headlights. The front of the car looks very sporty as a whole. Although this car owner does not exercise, the appearance of sports style is more attractive to young consumers.

The shape of the side of the car body is slightly sporty, and the general shape is still biased towards the home style. From the top of the car body, we can see that the slip-back design does not extend all the way to the rear of the car, but stops from the top of the trunk. The front and rear window frames and columns are painted in black, which is particularly exquisite. As a compact car of standard size, its body length is 4635mm, its width is1775mm, its height is1470mm and its wheelbase is 2700mm.

The front and rear wheels are designed with two colors and multiple banners, and the data of the wheels is 205/55R 16. Measured by the price of more than 200,000 yuan, the hub of 16 inch is a little small, but it is a hybrid vehicle, and the size of the hub directly affects the fuel economy, so the hub of 16 inch is more in line with its vehicle positioning.

The shape of the rear of the car body is relatively conservative, but the design of taillights and decorative parts looks very beautiful. The edge of the trunk is not designed with a right angle, but with an arc design, which looks more fashionable. After opening the trunk, the volume inside is not large, and the rear seats do not support falling down. For home use, it is impossible to load large items.

Central control interior has never been Toyota's strong point, but it is not entirely. Because Toyota always pays attention to practicality, the central control area is not luxurious, but the ingenious functional area layout looks very fashionable.

You can see the shape of the steering wheel, which is completely Toyota's family-style design style, three-piece design, with multi-function buttons, and the feeling of leather wrapping is good. The bottom pillar is also decorated with silver, which looks fashionable. Through the steering wheel, you can see the 4.2-inch LCD dashboard. The display screen in the middle is designed in color. The dashboard looks simple, but the content displayed is relatively complete. If we can increase the size of the LCD dashboard and make the picture cooler, we will be more able to impress young consumers.

The size of the central control large screen is eight inches, with touch function, but this configuration is not available in every model, only the top flagship version and the second top luxury version. The functions of the big screen are not complete, only the functions of mobile phone interconnection mapping and car Bluetooth phone. If a large screen is standard and some multimedia functions are added, the product strength will be improved a lot.

The seats in the car are all made of woven fabrics and leather-like fabrics. In terms of functionality, only the top model is equipped with four adjustment functions, as well as the main driver's seat electric adjustment and seat heating functions. Other models come standard with three manual adjustments for the main driver and two manual adjustments for the co-pilot. The function of the seat is not bad. If the whole system comes standard with lumbar support adjustment, the comfort can be improved a lot.

The rear seat space is one of the best in its class. Passengers with a height of1.75m sit in the back seat, with more than one punch in the leg space and four fingers in the head space. The floor is nearly flat and slightly raised, which does not affect the leg comfort of the middle passenger. The whole department is also equipped with rear handrails and water cup holders, which makes the comfort of long-distance travel more humanized.

As for the chassis, McPherson independent suspension is used in the front, and torsion beam dependent suspension is used in the rear, and independent suspension is not used in the rear suspension, because considering the bearing capacity of the rear row, the weight of the car body is about 200 kilograms heavier than that of the fuel version Corolla, which is equivalent to the weight of an adult and a child. Also consider the rear seat space and carrying capacity.

In terms of power, the Corolla twin-engine E is equipped with a 1.8L Atkinson cycle naturally aspirated engine with a maximum output of 99 HP, a maximum power of 73 kW and a peak torque of 142 Nm. There is also a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum output of 53 kW, a maximum output of 72 HP and a peak torque of 207 Nm. The transmission system is matched with the E-CVT gearbox, and the shape of the gearbox handle is quite classic, which is used by many models. In terms of power output, the throttle is more sensitive and responsive. The acceleration score of 100 kilometers exceeds 1 1 sec. As a family scooter, it has enough power.

In terms of configuration, the whole system comes standard with 6 airbags, tire pressure display and body stability functions. There is no reversing radar in the whole system, and the reversing image is also equipped with top matching and sub-top matching. In addition to the entry-level skylight, several other models are equipped. Generally speaking, the configuration is ok, but the most basic reversing radar is not equipped, and I still feel that something is missing.

To sum up, the Corolla twin-engine E+ car has the advantage of fuel economy, and the measured fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 3.5-4.5 liters, so the stability of the Toyota hybrid system is good. Since 1970, Toyota has been studying the hybrid system, and the fourth generation technology is currently installed in cars. Disadvantages, in fact, are not shortcomings, but the configuration is somewhat low. If some practical configurations can become the standard of the whole system, then the cost performance of this car will be improved.
