The Toyota Corolla - fifth-generation hybrid system

The revised Corolla features the fifth generation of Toyota's full hybrid system. As with the current model, 1.8- and 2.0-liter variants are available. Both benefit from significant engine and electric motor optimizations that deliver more torque, more electric power, greater efficiency and more fun to drive. The power control unit (PCU) and transaxle motor have been revised, and the lithium-ion battery is smaller, up to 18 kilograms lighter depending on the drive, and even more powerful. The total output of the 1.8-liter drive is 103 kW/140 hp, and the sprint from zero to 100 km/h is possible in 9.2 seconds - 1.7 seconds faster than the predecessor. Despite this increase in power, CO2 emissions are expected to remain unchanged at 102 g/km. With the 2.0-liter system, total output increases to 144 kW/196 hp, and the sprint from standstill to 100 km/h is 7.5 seconds, almost half a second faster than before. CO2 emissions are expected to be reduced by 3 g/km to 107 g/km.
