Character
1NR-FE
"The 1.33 petrol in the Yaris XP90/XP130, Auris and Corolla E150/E180, iQ, Urban Cruiser and Verso-S. Chain-driven, port injection, no turbo. German and French used-car data rate it durable, but it is known for oil consumption that grows with mileage, and engines run low on oil can fail. Check the dipstick and the service history."
M20A-FKS/FXS
"Corolla, C-HR, Corolla Cross, RAV4 and Lexus UX 2.0 (petrol FKS and hybrid FXS). Efficient, chain-driven and largely trouble-free so far, but the water-cooled EGR cooler can corrode and leak coolant internally - Toyota Europe blames fuel quality and does not cover it under warranty. Young engine: no high-mileage record yet."
