Toyota Discontinues 1.8 Corolla Engine for 2.0 Dynamic Force, So I Bought One of the Last Ones

  • With the cancellation of the corolla 1.8 corolla in 2023, buyers have the new 2.0 dynamic force engine as the only choice. While the 2.0 offers more power and better fuel economy, it is relatively new and has yet to withstand the test of time. Due to the dynamic force engine being so new I decided to buy one of the last 1.8 corolla made in 2022.

    Respectfully, if an engine has any inherent defects they tend to show up early in their production run. The 2.0 had been out for four years when you made this video and has been solid, there’s no reason to expect that it’s not going to be as solid as the 1.8.

    Hi Just bought a slightly used (5000 mi) 2022 Corolla with the 2L engine. I would have preferred the 1.8L which I have in my 2014 Corolla with over 223,000 mi , but I wanted a manual trans and this is my last option if I go with the Corolla. I am reasonably confident that Toyota tested this engine to death before releasing it. They have a well earned reputation for the best reliability in the industry. As a side note, we took my daughters 2005 Corolla from Hampton NH to San Francisco and back with 5 people in the car and 249,000 mi on it. It ran flawlessly. It now has 300,000. Been buying Toyota's for 40 yrs.

    Hi from Australia, I have a late 2007 build Corolla with the 2ZR-FE 1.8 engine
    These engines were released here in April 2007... 16 years no issues other than a water pump.
    no other issues whatsoever.
    I'm a motor mechanic and the car has been maintained above and beyond the average, particularly oil and filter changes.
    It was also built in Japan.
    Great video and thanks!

      I can get close to 40mpg (38.5) on my 2013 Corolla S with a 1.8 if I drive 55-65 too, but I never drive that slow on the freeway unless stuck in dense traffic. I'm usually going 70-75 on the local interstates but still getting 34mpg. I'll take that along with the proven reliability over the added complexity of the newer 2.0l any day. Plus I can easily DIY nearly every maintenance procedure on it, and there are multiple aftermarket choices for nearly every component under the hood, further reducing my cost of ownership.

    I just brought a 2023 Corolla LE. I did a lot of research and decided the opposite - i waited for the 2.0 in the LE. Better power and MPG was my reason. I’m hoping that Toyota has worked out some issues over the past 5 years. The electronic water pump, etc will turn some off, but they’ve worked out those issues in the Prius over 20 plus years. The CVT is the same in the Lexus UX200. I’ll still probably do the trans fluid at 60k, then every 60k. Also, the oil every 5k. I’m also hoping to keep it for 200k miles. I realize I’ll have to replace some items between 100-200k miles, and that’s fine. Based on what I see it should be relatively simple fixes. There are a few other slight improvements in 2023 that made the price difference worthwhile for me (even if the engine was the same). So far it’s been great. Anyway, I don’t think you can go wrong with either choice. Enjoy the car!

    Toyota added the 2 liter dynamic force engine to the Corollas from late 2018, when the 2019 Corolla hatchback started being sold in the USA. 2020 Corolla sedans with the 2 liter dynamic force engine started being sold from March 1st 2019. So there are many Corollas out there with over 60,000 miles on their 2 liter dynamic force engines. Furthermore, the Lexus UX200, which has the same 2 liter dynamic force engine, were sold from 2017. So you're just worrying needlessly.

      The 1.8 was hardly starved for power in the lightweight Corollas they were installed in. I can cruise from Memphis to Nashville never going slower than 75 and easily pass any traffic in my way. Plus I'm usually the first one out of the gate at a stop light. How much more power do you need? These aren't sports cars, they're compact reliable economy cars. If I want to go fast I take out my Firebird out of the garage or ride my motorcycle.

      @@ikramshahar44 Here in US the 2013 Corolla got the 1.8 2ZR-FE that was rated at 138 HP. The 2ZR-FAE was never available here. My best guess as to why would be the vast differences in average operating temps and altitude of the various regions of North America, and the great variation in available fuel quality. The European spec 2ZR-FAE has a higher compression ratio of 10.5-1 vs 10-1 for the North American spec 2ZR-FE, and generally speaking, cars in the US with anything higher than 10-1 compression require more expensive higher octane mid-grade or premium fuel.
      Our regular grade gasoline is only 87 octane (85 in high altitude regions), so it will cause pre-detonation in higher compression engines, especially those in the hot climates of our Southern regions or just about anywhere in Summer. The higher grade gasolines are much more expensive than regular, so it's extremely rare here to see any economy car, like a Corolla, with an engine that is specced to use anything other than regular gas.

      @robertcabrera6232 Місяць тому +1

      @@ikramshahar44 I suspect that the reason we never got the 1.8 2ZR-FAE in the states is because of its higher 10.5-1 compression ratio, which requires higher octane than the regular gas commonly available in the US. Here regular gas varies between 85 and 87 octane depending upon elevation, so its higher compression would require considerably more expensive mid-grade or premium fuel to prevent detonation. Additionally, there are much greater climate variations in North America than in Europe, and in regions with extremely warm climates engines are more prone to detonation.
      Toyota, in its wisdom, probably determined that the added expense of having multiple engine production lines combined with requiring use of higher grade gas to prevent warranty issues wasn't worth the cost and effort for just an additional 10-15 horsepower.

    I thought I preferred the 2ZR but the M20A is in another league. I was leasing a 2020 LE CVT but I wanted a manual and ended up getting a 2022 SE Manual with the 2.0. It is so much better than the 1.8. If you drive them back to back the difference is clear. The M20A is just a better engine and likely just as reliable if not more so thanks to the electric water pump.

    • @georgegogis7958
      @georgegogis7958 Рік тому +1

      It may be better is some ways but i doubt since i have no proof that it will be just as reliable. It likely will be worse. The electric water pump is NOT going to make it more reliable.
      There is also EGR on this M20A that is required since the engine is designed at 13-1 compression. It will not run without detonation on regular fuel without EGR.
      There is also an electric oil pump of some sort . The new motor has duel fuel systems high pressure and low pressure. This was all done for emissions and a little better fuel economy.

There are definitely pros and cons to each one.

    Toyota's using the same dynamic force engine in the Camry, RAV4, Lexus UX200, Lexus ES etc. You really think it will be unreliable? 2023 Corolla LE has over the air updates, faster touchscreen, wireless apple carplay, wireless android auto, 2 rear USB-C ports standard, more reliable CVT because of the physical first gear etc. You missed out on all of that because of your ridiculous reliability fears.

    • @alvinsimba734

      The 2023s do have more horsepower than the 1.8 litre engine found mostly on the L, LE and XLE trims. The 2.0.litre engine is a great engine as well and we will see how it will hold as the years go by. For new customers, the 2023 is a great option and as a toyota owner myself I can probably count with my fingers the amount of times I used apple carplay or android auto in the past 2 years. For me it's mostly mapping when we talk of android auto and carplay. The Bluetooth in their vehicles is just as good as one can listen to their favorite music or podcasts that each drivers likes and also answering calls. An average person thats all they really want and on the highway like the guy said, once you put it in adaptive cruise control for those long trips that's all one needs for acceleration while also maintaining fuel usage. An average driver won't even know the difference between cvt or regular automatic plus also the difference between the 2.0 litre or 1.8 litre. Some people will be able to tell the difference like myself and yourself.

      most toyota people don't want to admit it but even though toyota is a leader in reliability, they still have their fair share of problems. one thing I think we can all agree on is that the 1.8 is a much more basic and simple engine yet it still had a whole bunch of issues for many years. the 2.0 is much more complex and there have already been some issues with it. for those that keep their cars for 200k plus miles one issue most people aren't aware of is that even though it is port and direct injected is that carbon will still build up on the intake valves like a direct only engine. it takes longer but for those that keep their cars a long time have a real possibility of running into issues years later.
