The Toyota twins are powered with a 1.2 L D-4D common rail turbo diesel engine, the same engine that Toyota Corolla Altis has under its hood. The maximum power output in the Toyota twins is 68 Bhp, which is endowed with a fixed geometry turbocharged diesel engine unlike the variable geometry engine in Toyota Corolla Altis. The fixed geometry diesel engine could help in generating better power output and peak torque output.
