Character
2ZR-FXE (hybrid)
"Prius, Auris HSD, CT 200h, C-HR and Corolla hybrid engine. Gen 3 units (2010–2015) burn oil — Toyota issued a piston-ring bulletin — and blow head gaskets after about 150,000 km once the EGR circuit clogs; keep the EGR cooler clean. Gen 4 onwards has a much cleaner record."
A25A-FKS/FXS
"Camry/RAV4 2.5. Hybrid version gets 50+ mpg. Extremely reliable early data. Toyotas best modern engine."
