A History of Toyota Corolla Engines 1998-Present

The Toyota Corolla, introduced in 1966, is the longest-running Toyota model except for the Land Cruiser and is one of the most popular compact/subcompact lines in the world, outselling all others in 1997. At that time, the E110 or eighth generation Corolla, a 1995 redesign, used many of the same components as the seventh generation E100 (including its cast iron engine) for budgetary reasons.

Beginning in 1998, however, the more powerful, cleaner-burning 1ZZ-FE engine became available in Corollas sold outside of Japan for the first time. The 1ZZ-FE, a 1.8-liter, straight-four-cylinder, 120-hp (at 5,200 rpm) engine with SFI fuel injection, emphasized torque and affordability. This two-cam, 16-valve engine featured cylinder heads and an engine block made of aluminum, resulting in a lighter car with ten per cent more fuel efficiency than the 4A-FE engine in the previous E100 series. The cylinders themselves were lined with cast iron, while the intake manifold was either cast aluminum or plastic, was and placed at the front of the engine to allow for a shorter exhaust manifold. Later versions of the 1ZZ-FE engines had VVT-i (“Variable Valve Timing with intelligence”), a modification that offered more power (5 more hp) and slightly increased fuel efficiency (2-3 more mpg). The 1ZZ-FE found in standard Corollas for the years 2003-05 had 126 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 122 foot-pounds of torque at 4,200 rpm.

New for 2000 Corollas was the 1.8-liter 2ZZ-GG engine with VVTL-i or "Variable Valve Lift Control Timing with intelligence" for regulation of valve lift and duration as well as timing. This boosted output and torque and gained the Corolla LEV (low emissions vehicle) status. The 2000 XRS had the 2ZZ-GE, a 170-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with MFI fuel injection. (VVTL-i has since been discontinued for the XRS.)

In 2003, ninth-generation Corollas offered a slightly different version of the 2ZZ-GG, first used in 2000 Celicas. It was a bit more powerful, with shorter intake runners making for 126 hp at 6,000 rpms and 129 foot-pounds of torque. Its main selling point was increased gas mileage. A bolt-on supercharger kit was available for 2003-4models with1ZZ-FE engines.

The 2ZR-FE engine is new to Standard, LE, and XLE Corollas in the US starting in 2009. Horsepower has increased to132 at 6,000 rpm with 128 foot-pounds of torque at 4,400 rpm. The 16-valve, 1.8 liter 2ZR-FE applies variable valve technology to both intake and outtake valves for much higher gas mileage and an increase in power. It also has Dual VVT-I, which adjusts timing on both intake and exhaust camshafts.

New XRS Corollas, however, have a 2.4-liter four-cylinder 158 hp (at 6,000 rpms) engine, the 1-NZ, with 162 foot-pounds of torque at 4,400 rpm.

The Corolla made Toyota’s long-standing reputation for reliability. Over 35 million had been sold as of 2007, making it the most popular car line in history.
