Hybrid model added to Toyota "Rise"
Two years after the debut in November 2019, a hybrid car was added, but a questionnaire was conducted on SNS. When asked, "Hybrid cars have been added to Rise. What do you think about this car?" As a result of %, you can see that about 90 % of respondents had a good impression. According to the person who answered that it was good, "The turbo model was noisy because the engine sound was noisy, so it seems to be gone." There are voices that expect the fuel efficiency and quietness, which are the benefits of hybrid vehicles, such as the driving, the quietness, and the electric parking brake. The Rise Hybrid is equipped with a newly developed 1.2-liter engine and a hybrid system "E-SMART) hybrid. The engine is dedicated to power generation, and a series hybrid system that runs with a 100 % motor using its power is adopted. Series hybrids are the same mechanism as "E-POWER" that Nissan is mounted on "Note", "Serena" and "Kick". The "E-SMART hybrid", which achieves a simple structure and compact size with a small displacement, is a system suitable for small cars that are resistant to low and medium-speed driving and are often used in city riding. The E-SMART hybrid is a system developed by Daihatsu, and the hybrid system "THS (Toyota Hybrid System)", which is installed by Toyota in "Prius", uses a series parallel. In this questionnaire, there were a lot of opinions that evaluated Rise's hybrid, but some commented that "I want 4WD settings for SUVs because it is only 2WD." In addition to the 1 -liter turbo, which has been a lineup from the past, a 1.2 -liter gasoline car has been set at the same time as the hybrid addition. In the drive system, a car with a 1.2 liter is FF, and the car with a 1 -liter turbo is 4WD. On the other hand, hybrid vehicles are only FF, so it is expected to add 4WD in the future.
