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.

Corolla Hybrid:

Engine: 1.8 naturally aspirated engine with 16V and 101 hp of maximum power, and two electric motors of 72 hp, totaling 122 hp of combined power;
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);
Battery: 1.3 kWh of capacity;
Acceleration (0 to 100 km/h): 12 seconds;

BYD King:

Engine: 1.5 DM-i engine with 204 hp and torque of 33.1 mkgf combined;
Electric Range: 100 km;
Battery: 18.3 kWh of capacity;
Fuel Consumption (gasoline): 26.3 km/l (WLTP data);
Acceleration (0 to 100 km/h): 7.9 seconds;

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.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

What is the ideal distance between one pillar and another? The measurement used in houses with up to 2 floors can avoid huge beams, low ceilings, and extra construction costs.

Researchers from the National Institute of Anthropology of Mexico mapped an entire site called El Jefeciño along the route of the Maya Train, with 80 stone buildings, a C-shaped plaza, and 250 acres inhabited between 250 and 900 A.D.

The American Navy fired a high-energy laser from the deck of an aircraft carrier for the first time in history to shoot down a drone in the Mediterranean, an event that is a game-changer for naval air defense.

Factory that exported to more than 50 countries will be demolished in Santa Catarina, former Cecrisa pavilions make way for a R$ 200 million innovation park, ending the industrial era that put Criciúma on the world ceramics map.

Plastering without secrets: bricklayer reveals the plaster mix that uses 5 parts sand to 1 part cement and shows how to achieve a good consistency without needing an additive.

Honda’s pickup the size of the Ram Rampage will feature a new hybrid V6 engine, a new generation with a refreshed design, more power, and improved acceleration after a production pause until 2028 to compete with the Toyota Tacoma, the leader with 274,000 annual sales.

Jetour accelerates in Brazil, surpasses 1,000 cars sold in just 3 months, and bets on plug-in hybrid SUVs to enter the competition strongly against BYD and GWM.
