VVT-i and Dual VVT-i Engines
Toyota VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) technology controls the timing of the intake valves depending on engine operating conditions. The most common units are 1.0 VVT-i (Aygo, Yaris), 1.33 Dual VVT-i (Yaris, Auris) and 1.6 Valvematic / 1.8 Dual VVT-i (Corolla, Auris, Avensis). Toyota petrol engines are usually naturally aspirated, without turbochargers, which makes them more reliable and easier to maintain.
What to Look for When Buying
Toyota petrol engines have a reputation for above-average reliability and often cover more than 300,000 km without serious faults. Check the service history and oil consumption, which in these engines is usually very low. A timing chain, rather than a belt, is fitted to most modern Toyota engines, reducing routine maintenance costs. Pay attention to the bodywork condition, especially on models older than 10 years.

Frequently Asked Questions About Toyota Petrol Cars
The 1.33 Dual VVT-i and 1.8 Dual VVT-i (used in the Corolla and Auris) are considered among the most reliable petrol engines ever made. With regular servicing, they can run well beyond 300,000 km. The 1.0 VVT-i is also very durable, but with slightly modest performance.
A Toyota Yaris with the 1.33 Dual VVT-i engine uses 5.5–6 l/100 km in combined driving. In the city, consumption can rise to 6.5–7 l/100 km, while on the open road it drops to around 5 l/100 km.
Yes, most modern Toyota petrol engines use a timing chain instead of a belt, which means there is no preventive replacement at defined intervals. The chain usually lasts as long as the engine itself, significantly reducing maintenance costs.
