Character

1NZ-FXE

"Toyota's first mass-market hybrid petrol engine (Prius NHW11/NHW20, Yaris Hybrid 2012-2020). An Atkinson-cycle 1.5 with a timing chain and an easy life thanks to the electric motor. Wear arrives late: oil burning past about 200,000 km and chain wear; on the 2004-2009 Prius the electric water pump was recalled. Check the recall and the oil level."

T24A-FTS

"Toyota's 2.4 turbo four (T24A-FTS, 2021-), with combined port and direct injection and a timing chain, in the Lexus NX350 and RX350 and the Toyota Highlander, Grand Highlander, Crown and Tacoma (270-280 hp). No recall and no documented pattern of engine failures so far; a hybrid Land Cruiser with the same engine covered about 177,000 km in a year without problems. US owners mainly complain of a hesitation or turbo lag when pulling away, and owners report two brand-new 2026 Tacoma engines that failed, one of them traced by a teardown to a factory machining fault (not confirmed by Toyota). It is too new for long-term data and is said to need good fuel. The hybrid versions (Lexus RX500h, Land Cruiser hybrid) are listed separately."
