At present, some OEMs no longer use T's small-displacement engines (large-displacement engines, such as power cars with a displacement of more than 2.0L, are mainly turbocharged). For example, Toyota announced the start of TNGA on 20 19. 1.5L？ The NA naturally aspirated engine project will be officially put into production in May 2020, replacing today's 1.5L? NR engine and 1.2T turbine engine, and applied to the new generation Corolla model for the first time. Later VIOS and Yize models will also be equipped with this engine.
Not only Toyota but also Honda. In the new car declaration catalogue recommended by Honda to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology last year, there is Lingpai equipped with 1.5L hybrid system, which is the i-MMD version of Lingpai. This car will be launched this year to compete with Corolla/Lei Ling. As for the original 1.0T three-cylinder, I don't know whether to continue to use or abandon it; In addition, the fourth generation Fit has been basically determined to be equipped with L 15B series (1.5L? 4-cylinder NA) engine. It is an indisputable fact that Honda's 1.0T engine will be less and less.
There are also two general-purpose three-cylinder turbocharged engines, 1.0T and 1.3T, which make consumers extremely entangled and make the sales of Yinglang and other models plummet. But now GM has come back, and will introduce an L2B 1.5L inline four-cylinder NA engine to replace 1.0T and 1.3T engines. The return to the four cylinders in 2020 has already started from Buick Hideo. Due to the economic environment and users' disapproval, the sales of various three cylinders are bleak. In addition, the user found that the vehicle jitter problem could not be solved when the three-cylinder cold car started and the vehicle was idling/full low speed.
In other words, turbine engines are used less now. The main reason is not that T can save fuel and comply with environmental regulations, but that the new technology can save fuel and comply with environmental regulations. T power can, and NA can, but it has just been brainwashed by the advanced car factory that pushed T, and then a large number of host manufacturers who know the parameters also pushed turbines to cater to customers' tastes. Many people may think that NA and T cars can't be compared, but different cars, different car ages, different technologies, different gearboxes, different uses or usage scenarios have too many influencing factors to really compare. I don't comment on different people's preferences for driving experience. PersoNAlly, I like na The large-displacement Model T has never been driven. The maximum driving time is 2.0T, 8 seconds.
Small displacement with T, driving experience is really bad. No matter how slow NA is, as long as it is linear, I can predict, calculate the timing and do what I want, but T will only kick your ass. There is a famous saying in the fighting world: timing? Beat? Speed, accuracy? Beat? Power means "timing is more important than speed, accuracy is more important than strength." Little Pina is like a lightweight boxer, with natural figure, flexibility, quick response and accurate hitting. T is like a bodybuilding pig that swells up after taking medicine and hitting C. He really went to the ring and met a master, but he was beaten up.
In addition, choosing a car is not only as simple as choosing NA or T, but also depends on the gearbox. As the saying goes, one shift ruined everything, that's what it means. In addition, factors such as price, comfort, NVH, sitting posture, vision, quality, safety, brand value, configuration, appearance and so on can easily affect people's thinking. Therefore, even if you like NA or T, you are likely to give up because of other factors.
Finally, it may be said that the future will be dominated by electric vehicles. I don't like to say that one thing completely replaces another. Mobile phones can't replace computers, and computers can't replace mobile phones. Can only disappear naturally. In my opinion, the positioning of the electric car should be the second car in the family. It is enough to go out, buy food and send the children to school, and the battery life is about 100-200 km (actual battery life). Those who go to work, run long distances, and drive out to play have to be oil cars, so they can mix deeply. It's a pity that I'm thinking about overtaking in corners now. Now that the subsidy has been reduced (but there are restrictions on licensing), it depends on the real efforts of the car factory.
