Nice video! Are you happy with the car? What sort of consumption is it giving you in the city and what consumption on the highway? Also, is acceleration acceptable for the weight of the car?
I'm quite pleased with the car after owning it for a couple of years so far. Based on my driving habits which revolve around having a light foot, I get on average 15.7 km/l in the city and 26.5 km/l on the highway. The acceleration is adequate for what it is. It moves the car with no problems though the update 1.8 with now 140HP or even the 2.0 would be a better choice though unfortunately here in the Philippines, we only get the 1.8 with 122HP and it's not a problem for me because it's the fuel efficiency is what I'm after. Thanks for watching!
Got you and thanks for the detailed response! I've ordered the Corolla Cross hybrid 1.8 with 140HP. So theoretically, it should be alright. Happy driving! @@DRIVEN_POV
What will happen if I were using the EV mode and the battery doesn't have any charge? Will the gasoline engine charge the battery or it will use the gas engine instead? Thanks! Planning to buy this car but kinda skeptical at the moment. We are the (Me included if I decided to 😅)1st generation owners of hybrid vehicles in the Philippines.
Here's a realistic breakdown of the usage between internal combustion engine and the electric motor:
- 85% of the time the engine and the electric motor works in tandem to run the car. There are conditions that must be met for this situation to occur:
a. The speed is above 40km/h. The car runs purely on electricity when at speeds below 40km/h. The engine will turn on when 41km/h and higher is met.
b. when the battery power runs out, the engine will now be the one powering the car, just like a regular car, and at the same time the engine is sending power to the batteries for it to charge them. The engine will then power off once a sufficient quantity of power is charged into the batteries. It's a continuous cycle but the transition between the engine and electric motor is very seamless that you wouldn't feel any vibration. Just the sound of the engine turning on and off.
- 10% of the time, the car will run on electric mode. Just like what's mentioned above, the threshold speed between 0km/h to 40km/h, the car will run on battery power. When the battery power runs out, the engine will turn on to power the wheel to provide propulsion while at the same time charging the batteries. It'll power off when sufficient percentage of power is charged into the batteries. One thing to add is when the car is moving and you coast, battery power is being brought back into the batteries. The same goes for braking, power is brought back into the batteries thus preventing wastage of energy.
- The remaining 5% is the enabling of running the car in full EV mode. To enable full EV mode, the following conditions must be met:
a. if the "EV" button is pressed. It is located near the shifter and it's beside the drive mode selector.
b. if condition (a.) is not possible, the car will emitt a buzzer and will display on the gauge cluster "Low battery levels, EV mode not possible". It is only possible to enable full EV mode when the battery meter displays that the battery is at full capacity. Here's how I achieve full EV: I let the car carry momentum and coast when there's a downward slope. If the slop is as steep, let's say Ligaya Drive going down to Batangas, you could shift the car into "B" ,which is below "D", to enable fast charging. It'll allow maximum power regeneration when the car is traversing steep slope thus achieving a full battery meter. Do not worry if the battery meter is full yet power is still being delivered to it, as the car will isolate the battery from power sources to avoid over charging. Now once the battery meter display is full, you can press the "EV" button to drive in full EV mode without the engine kicking in. Here's a thing to note about using full EV mode, it is only applicable up to 40km/h and it's only possible to drive it for 10kms in full EV mode. Don't let that bum you out though because the car wasn't designed to be an EV anyway.
Conclusion:
- Overall the car aims to drive with the engine off. It tries its best to not rely on the engine for propulsion and it does one heck of a job in doing so.
- One must understand that car's driving characteristics. It's driven quite differently from a regular car. I'll admit that there's a learning curver to it but you can keep in mind all the aforementioned statements above as a reference guide.
- Owning the car presented no problems for me at all ever since I took delivery in October of 2021. I highly recommend this car as you are driving the 4th Generation Toyota Hybrid System. It's a know fact that Toyota was the trailblazer when it comes to normalizing Hybrid technology for the masses. They've been doing Hybrid systems since the mid 90s well before the demand for it risen. The have decades to improve upon the system. I can confidently say that they've done a terrific job!
Salamat sa panonood!
Thank you so much sa detailed explanation! This is the detailed information I have been looking for! Just subscribed to your channel. I hope I can see more of your hybrid vehicle experiences here sa Pinas. Aftesales, parts, insurance and etc.
Maraming salamat kabayan!
