Động cơ Hybrid của Toyota Corolla Cross: dùng sai mục đích thì sấp mặt?? | Đường 2 Chiều

Hello everyone! Yesterday, Toyota Vietnam released the Corolla Cross. It's a car from the B-Class crossover segment, also known as C-Class. But the special thing about this car is that it uses a hybrid engine. So today, I'm going to share with you some of the basics of the hybrid engine, as well as who this engine is suitable for. Should we buy it? Let's get started! The definition of a hybrid car may not be too strange to us. In today's world, it is a semi-electric car. The purpose of a hybrid car is to meet the need to reduce emissions to protect the environment, while also saving fuel. Hybrid engines have many different types of operation. The most common type is to run parallel, both inline and electric. In addition, there may be cars that only use inline engines to charge the electric engine. For example, the BMW i3. Today, we will only talk about the most common type of hybrid engine. The operating method of a parallel hybrid engine is to automatically select the best between the electric engine or run parallel to the inline engine, depending on the situation. For example, when the car is stationary and starts to move, the car will use the electric engine. At a certain speed, the inline engine will start to operate to support the electric engine and also charge the battery to maximize the usage time of the electric engine. While moving, depending on the conditions, the inline engine may be turned off to minimize emissions as well as fuel saving. When the driver slows down and lets go of the gas pedal, the car will use the rotation force of the wheel to charge the battery. Take the example of the Corolla Cross. The hybrid version is equipped with the 2JZ-RFXE engine and ECVT gearbox. The 2JZ-RFXE engine has appeared on Lexus CT200h and Toyota C-HR. As far as I know, there is currently no version sold in Vietnam. This engine, with the Atkinson program and the ratio up to 13 out of 1, will help the car maximize the fuel consumption. The ECVT gearbox serves as the gear shift and the transmission of the car when choosing between the electric engine and the inline engine. That's all about the operation of the hybrid engine. So how does this hybrid engine suit the user? For example, if you are interested in buying a Toyota Corolla Cross, should you choose the most expensive hybrid engine? First, let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the hybrid engine. The first advantage of the hybrid engine is cleanliness, environmental protection and fuel efficiency. A hybrid car always prioritizes electric engines and only uses fuel when necessary. In addition, when we slow down, the car can charge the battery. These will lead to the second advantage, a hybrid car will be able to travel a longer distance than an inline engine with a full tank. When owning a hybrid car, you not only reduce the amount of emissions to the environment, but also don't have to worry too much about fuel efficiency. However, the disadvantages of a hybrid car are also worrisome. First, the maintenance cost of a hybrid car is usually higher than that of an inline engine. Because of the complex structure and every time you have to replace something, it's definitely not easy to find the right one. And of course, it's not cheap. The second disadvantage is that a car using a hybrid engine will be very difficult to have an extraordinary power when compared to an inline engine car. Of course, we are talking about the number of cars, not about the hybrid car, then the 1-class number box, like Koenigsegg. However, with an electric engine, the power will be maximized and the car will start more smoothly than an inline engine car. Regarding these points, it can be concluded that if you need to use your car mostly in the city, use it every day to go to work, to play, or sometimes have trips not too far around the place, then a hybrid car is a very good choice. You don't have to worry too much about fuel efficiency and you can express your love for the environment. However, if you are a person who travels a lot, drives a lot of highways, likes to travel far, or just like me, love the environment but not so much, then maybe a car with an inline engine is a more reasonable choice.
