Buick Yinglang finally did not stubbornly over the market, and replaced the three-cylinder with the four-cylinder. As a result, the sales soared and became popular all the way, but Toyota did not believe in evil and recently entered the three-cylinder market. The 1.5L three-cylinder Leiling , I don’t know if it can open the market smoothly as Toyota hopes. The
three-cylinder engine has long been unveiled. Its advantages and disadvantages have been exposed to the public. The advantage is that it is highly fuel-efficient. It also helps to speed up the implementation of the National VI policy, but the disadvantages are equally obvious, weak power and jitter. From the current consumer experience in car use, three-cylinder engines are not to be seen. Z1z, BMW, and Buick have all suffered losses on three-cylinder engines.
However, it is undeniable that out of environmental considerations, three-cylinder engines have become the development trend of small cars in the future. What is important is whether it is the best time to launch three-cylinder engines. We will not discuss the market trend for the time being. See how the three-cylinder Ralink performs.
Toyota’s 1.5L three-cylinder engine adds Atkinson cycle and high-speed combustion technology. In theory, its performance should exceed the current 1.2T engine, and its combustion efficiency has reached 40%. This data is still Satisfactory. The appearance design of the
three-cylinder Ralink continues the classic style of the current model. It lowers the position of the center grid and uses long and narrow headlights to make the front face of the new Ralink slightly more aggressive and sporty. The headlights are equipped with LED light sources, which have outstanding lighting effects. The tail is pressed down quickly to create a slip-back style. At the same time, the vehicle looks more compact and has a sense of speed when driving. The length and wheelbase of the
body remain unchanged, still 4640mm and 2700mm.
According to reports, Ralink’s 1.5L displacement three-cylinder engine has a maximum power of 121 horsepower and a peak torque of 148 Nm. The engine is matched with a CVT continuously variable transmission, which shows an advantage in terms of fuel consumption. Official data is 100 kilometers. The fuel consumption is about 5L. Based on the 92 gasoline of 5.84 yuan, the fuel cost per kilometer is 0.29 yuan, which is less than 30 cents. Such a cost can still make most office workers tempted.
However, the advantages can now be seen, but because most consumers have not tested driving real cars, there is no intuitive experience on how Toyota avoids the shortcomings of the three-cylinder engine, so it is worth buying, and still need Waiting for the verification of the actual vehicle.
As for whether the three-cylinder Ralink can quickly open the market as Toyota wants, it depends on market pricing and technical strength.
