Toyota builds Corolla E + for people

　　International Online Car Channel News (Liu Tuo): Toyota Corolla has developed eleven generations of models since its birth in 1966, and the total sales volume in the world has exceeded 46 million, which is endowed with the reputation of "the world’s first sedan". The Corolla model has been in China for more than ten years, and the sales volume in China has exceeded 3.30 million. Now the Corolla dual-engine E + has been officially launched, and it will meet you with a lower carbon and environmentally friendly attitude.

　　The details highlight the new energy identity

　　In terms of appearance, the Corolla Dual Engine E + basically continues the shape design of the fuel version of the Corolla, but some small designs have been changed and adjusted. Its blue body is the unique color scheme of the Corolla Dual Engine E +. The blue logo of the front and the blue line of the middle net also highlight its identity as a new energy. All models are equipped with LED headlights as standard, but there are differences between high and low models in terms of daytime running lights. LED daytime running lights are only available on high-end models.

Renewed the appearance of the fuel version

　　The side lines of the body are also consistent with the fuel version of the Corolla. Its body dimensions are 4635/1775/1470mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2700mm. Only the PLUG-IN HYBRID logo on the fender highlights the difference between it and the ordinary fuel version. Although the 16-inch two-color aluminum alloy wheels are not large in size, they are full of design. For a PHEV model that focuses on energy conservation and environmental protection, it is not necessary to be equipped with too flamboyant large-size wheels, and ensuring the comfort of the ride is the first priority.

　　The trim that runs through the taillights and tailgate at the rear of the car has also been changed from chrome material to blue paint. However, I would like to add that the left side of the Corolla Dual Engine E + rear is the fuel tank port, and the right side is the charging port. This design may cause some confusion in daily use.

　　The interior design still follows the shape of the fuel version, but there is a blue decorative strip in front of the co-pilot. The 8-inch central control LCD screen supports CarLife function, which is convenient for daily use and improves the connectivity of the car and machine. The vehicle information interface of the central control screen can intuitively view the driving status and cruising range of the vehicle.

　　PHEVs tailored for people

　　As a plug-in hybrid model, the Corolla Dual Engine E + is based on the basic design of the Corolla Dual Engine and has been developed locally. It uses Toyota’s most advanced fourth-generation PCU and large-capacity battery system. Toyota’s hybrid technology has a long history of research and development. Toyota has already begun to explore the field of hybrid power as early as 1977 when it launched the first gas turbine HV model. Since the launch of the first mass-produced hybrid model, the Prius, in 1997, Toyota’s hybrid has been officially available to a wide range of consumers. It uses Toyota’s signature technology – the E-CVT, which is centered on a unique and complex planetary gear set, and the high-fuel Atkinson engine, which make it far ahead in the hybrid field. When the fourth-generation Prius was launched in 2015, Toyota was already developing a new generation of hybrid technology. This shows that Toyota’s technological accumulation in vehicle electrification cannot be underestimated.

History of Toyota Hybrid

　　At present, Toyota has formed an electric vehicle technology with "Sandian" as the core. The "Sandian" core composed of an excellent "motor + electronic control + battery" system and other components can be combined to form different types of electric vehicle products. PHEVs must be based on excellent HEVs. As a representative of HEV models, the success of the Prius has promoted the development of Toyota’s hybrid power, and has also made HEV technology widely used in other Toyota models. The excellent performance of the battery system with zero accidents is really shocking, especially in the current era of frequent battery failures of new energy vehicles.

Toyota Midian Technology

　　The Corolla Dual Engine E + not only has the characteristics of the Corolla Dual Engine, but also has a significant improvement in EV performance. The demand for special charging piles in this car is not strong, and ordinary household power supplies can meet the charging needs, which is greatly convenient for ordinary consumers. After all, not everyone can be equipped with charging piles in fixed parking spaces. For the commute to work in Beijing, the Corolla Dual Engine E + is stress-free. When charging is inconvenient, it is a dual engine, and its fuel consumption is comparable to that of the dual engine, which is significantly lower than that of traditional fuel models. At full power, the pure electric cruising range meets the national target requirements for new energy PHEV models with a range of more than 50 kilometers. The fuel consumption under comprehensive operating conditions is 1.3L/100km, and the fuel consumption in hybrid mode is 4.3L/100km.

　　Write at the end:

　　Toyota’s new energy and hybrid models are committed to reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and aim at energy conservation, environmental protection and low carbon. The Corolla Dual Engine E + will provide us with a more low-carbon and environmentally friendly travel, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions during vehicle driving through electrification. Toyota officials have said: In the future, EV models will be promoted in 2020, and all models will be equipped with hybrid power in 025. According to incomplete statistics, the cumulative sales of Toyota hybrid models have exceeded 12 million, and the cumulative carbon dioxide emission reduction effect has been 94 million tons.
