As the world’s largest automaker in terms of sales and market share, Toyota has always insisted that pure electric vehicles (EVs) are not the only direction for the future development of the automotive industry and believes that automotive power should be developed in the direction of multiple pathways because, in addition to pure EVs, other technologies, such as hydrogen fuels, hybrids, and newer internal combustion engines, can reduce or even achieve zero vehicle emissions.
After announcing in May this year that it had allied with Subaru and Mazda to develop the next generation of internal combustion engines, Toyota has now released a promotional video teasing the next generation of gasoline engines that the company is currently working on, showing some of the specifications of the new engines and how they sound.
According to the information revealed by Toyota in the video, the displacement of these new engines is mainly divided into 1.5L and 2.0L and both are four-cylinder designs, with the 1.5L engine divided into natural air intake (NA) and turbocharged (Turbo), while the 2.0L engine is equipped with turbocharging technology.
In the video, Takashi Uehara, president of Toyota’s power development division, drives a new, unreleased model of the car around the Fuji Speedway in Japan, showing and experiencing Toyota’s new generation of engines that will be released in the future to a reporter sitting in the passenger seat, and letting the reporter experience not only the power but also the sound of the new engines.
According to Toyota, the new generation 1.5L turbocharged engine will be used to replace the existing 2.5L Dynamic Force naturally-aspirated engine in the future, while the 2.0L turbocharged engine will replace the 2.4L turbocharged engine that is currently used in the Lexus RX, NX, and Toyota Elfa models.
The factory emphasizes that these new engines have been designed from the early stages of development with downsizing and lightweight in mind and that they will be mounted lower and further back in the engine compartment, giving new Toyota vehicles equipped with the new engines a lower center of gravity and better front-to-rear weight distribution, and therefore better handling.
In addition to this, the new engine will produce less vibration when running than the existing engine, so the vehicle’s feel when driving or idling in place will also be greatly improved. Toyota also said that the new 1.5L four-cylinder turbo engine is 10 percent smaller than the existing 1.5L three-cylinder turbo engine in the GR Yaris, and 20 percent smaller when compared to the existing 2.5L naturally-aspirated engine.
In addition, the new 2.0L turbo engine replacing the existing 2.4L turbo engine is 10 percent smaller, so these new generation engines have more redundant space in the engine compartment to accommodate the larger Hybrid fuel-electric system and create better power performance in a smaller package. When combined with better body wind resistance, this is expected to reduce fuel consumption by about 12 percent in a sedan.
Not only that, but in order to make these new engines better suited to the increasingly stringent emissions regulations in Europe and the United States in the future, Toyota also worked with Japanese oil companies such as Eneos, Idemitsu, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries during the development process to ensure that the new engines could run on the new biochemicals and composite gasoline of the future, the concept of which is similar to the current B10 biodiesel. The concept is like the current B10 biodiesel.
