Yaris's "two cylinders+motor" does not lose four cylinders. Has a century-old car company ever told you a joke?

Although there are many models equipped with three-cylinder engines on the market at present, consumers' acceptance of three-cylinder engines is always not high. In this era of "the number of cylinders is justice", the three-cylinder engine always exists at the bottom of the contempt chain. Just when we thought that a car company would be equipped with a three-cylinder engine at most, Toyota gave us a "big surprise". The initial three-cylinder engine is only in the transitional stage, and Toyota yaris also has a two-cylinder engine version, which really makes us more and more puzzled about the operation of this century-old car company.

Yaris "upgrades", what can two-cylinder power do?

Recently, the brand-new Toyota yaris model was exposed. In addition to the conventional 1.0L, 1.3L and 1.5L three-cylinder naturally aspirated engines, a new model with 1.5L two-cylinder engines will be adopted. That's right. In addition to the common three-cylinder engine, a two-cylinder engine will be added to the new yaris model. However, the new yaris is not simply driven by a two-cylinder engine, but consists of a 1.5L inline two-cylinder engine and an electric motor. It is said that it is not inferior to a four-cylinder or even six-cylinder engine in performance, but I believe many people still have their own judgments about the actual power.

In fact, it was reported a long time ago that yaris would launch a two-cylinder model, but now Toyota has finally put it into action. The new yaris will be built based on TNGA-B platform, and its overall positioning is still at the level of general cargo vehicles. Therefore, it is very unlikely that the power of 1.5L two-cylinder engine and motor will lose that of four-cylinder engine or even six-cylinder. It is most likely that Toyota will not know the specific power until the parameters are announced in order to comfort consumers. However, it is better not to give too much hope to this two-cylinder engine.

Two cylinders are more unstable than three. How to ensure comfort?

For domestic consumers, the main reason why the three-cylinder engine is unpopular is the jitter of the three-cylinder engine. Because the number of cylinders in a three-cylinder engine is odd, the internal power of the engine cannot cancel each other out, so it is inevitable to produce jitter. So, as an even-cylinder engine, can a two-cylinder engine avoid this jitter problem?

In fact, the two-cylinder engine after reducing one cylinder is worse than the three-cylinder engine in jitter. To put it simply, because when the engine does work, the two pistons can't be in the same direction, but will be in the same direction, and if the engine completes a round of work, it needs the pistons to repeat twice, so this process will become like a seesaw, which makes people feel wobbly just listening.

In fact, many models equipped with three-cylinder engines have begun to compromise this year and began to return to the four-cylinder era. It can also be said that consumers have changed the decision of car companies. But it was when car companies began to doubt the necessity of three-cylinder engines that Toyota didn't believe in evil. In addition to Corolla's three-cylinder model, the new yaris will also launch a two-cylinder model. How will Toyota solve this problem? How to protect the comfort that everyone values most?

Bianxiao language

Although there are many loyal fans of Toyota in China, it does not mean that everyone will pay for Toyota's various attempts. I believe that many people buy Toyota cars just to save worry and fuel. If Toyota starts to become unreliable, it will be different if we buy Mazda or BBA. Let's leave the three-cylinder or even two-cylinder engine to others. However, if Toyota does have black technology to solve the jitter problem, it will become Toyota's trump card to help Toyota reach new heights in the domestic market, just waiting for the launch of new models.
