8hp more, but 2tq
less than the outgoing model at 126tq. Maybe the CVT couldn't take it
Hopefully the final drive ratio is as good as the CVT or else the addition of the 6th gear will be not reaching its potential. Even in the 10th gen Corolla the auto had a better final drive ratio than the 5 sp to help fuel economy.
I too am underwhelmed by the small increase in fuel economy to 40 considering my
lifetime average is near that ...and I have 186,000km on the clock. Of course if an ecomodder go a hold of it, put an upper and partial lower grill block, fold the mirrors back and put some lighter thinner wheels on it and perhaps lower it a bit hopefully we could beat that rating.
