| Engine | Power (hp) | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
1NZ-FE (1.5L) |
109–110 | Reliability, ease of repair, low consumption (6.5–7.5 l/100 km) | Oil burn after 200,000 km, poor dynamics |
2NZ-FE (1.3L) |
86–88 | Economy (5.5–6.5 l/100 km), cheap maintenance | Very weak for full load, noisy |
2ZR-FE (1.8L) |
132–140 | Good dynamics, suitable for long trips | More expensive to maintain, found only in NCP13/NCP180 |
Expert conclusion: Optimal for urban use 1NZ-FE — it is balanced in terms of power and efficiency. If you need carrying capacity (for example, to transport tools), it is better to consider 2ZR-FE, but be prepared for increased fuel consumption (8–9 l/100 km).
