Talking about the mechanicals of the 2020 Corolla Hybrid sedan, the car features a 2ZR-FXE 1.8-litre 4-pot Atkinson-cycle motor. Two electric motors handle electric power duties. The transmission on the sedan is an e-CVT unit. Acting as an open differential when the engine is on high load is a preload differential. The petrol engine and the electric motors make 123 PS of combined maximum power. The hybrid car is supposed to offer a fuel mileage of 18 kmpl. Boasting Honda’s Hyper-Prime Nickel tech, which helps in making the battery pack lighter and smaller without any compromise in the performance is the nickel-metal hydride battery pack. The recharging of the batteries also takes place via regenerative-braking. Honda’s Electronically Controlled Brake (ECB) takes care of simultaneously using both the hydraulic brakes and the regenerative braking seamlessly.
