Know What Hybrid Rivals Have to Offer. Toyota Corolla Hybrid Faces the Future BYD King in Technical Comparative

The hegemony of the Toyota Corolla Hybrid among hybrid sedans is about to be disrupted by the arrival of a new competitor from China: the BYD King. After being spotted in Brazilian territory in early April, the BYD sedan wants to compete with the Corolla Hybrid. But how will this fight play out? The technical comparison between the two models may provide some answers, according to the Estadão website.

Hybrid Comparative: Performance and Autonomy of Sedans

Before comparing the sedans, it is important to say that, although they are medium hybrid models, we are talking about different hybrids. The Corolla Hybrid is a HEV (full hybrid), while the King is a PHEV (plug-in hybrid), which can be charged at a power outlet.

Fuel Consumption (ethanol): 12.8 km/l (city) and 11.1 km/l (highway);
Fuel Consumption (gasoline): 18.5 km/l (city) and 15.7 km/l (highway);

Já tive o desprazer de ter um Lifan e sei bem como foi a experiência de ter um chinês na garagem ou melhor no mecânico pois quebrava câmbio semestralmente fora problemas de longarina trincada sem nunca ter carregado peso só andando na cidade de São Paulo esburaquenta, pra mim chinês na garagem nunca mais. Hoje tenho um Nissan e estou muito satisfeito com ele, nunca tive Toyota mas é japonês como a Nissan e creio ser bom também. Na dúvida paguem a mais e comprem Toyota ou Nissan que são tanques de guerra perto dos chineses.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Engine without traditional cylinder head could change the future of hybrids: Aramco creates DHE technology that simplifies mechanics, promises to reduce consumption by up to 25%, and challenges decades of evolution in combustion engines.

NASA takes another look at the M87* black hole and finds details in the cosmic jet in X-rays that seem to reveal a much more unsettling universe than previously imagined.

A burned Ferrari seemed destined for scrap, until a company removed the V8 engine, installed three electric motors, and transformed the old sports car into the 308 GTE with a 47 kWh battery.

NASA’s space probe passes just 4,609 km from Mars, receives a boost of 1,600 km/h, and continues towards the asteroid 16 Psyche, a body valued at up to $10,000,000,000,000,000.

Smaller than a Kwid and priced at around R$ 60,000, the Mitsubishi eK Cross EV features a 1,500 W outlet, 180 km range, and becomes a sort of power bank on wheels in Japan.

Government allows new ID to be requested via mobile phone for home delivery with CPF as a unique number: Rio has already issued 4.4 million IDs, the document is free, has a QR Code, biometrics, and replaces the old ID until 2032.
