This marks Toyota’s first downsizing of its HSD technology. Toyota aims to bring full hybrid technology to every main European model as early as possible in the 2020s, and introduced the Auris HSD to the C-segment in 2010, equipped with the same powertrain as the Prius. Prius+ will be on sale in the first half of 2012.

Extreme compression ratio rather than downsizing. Although downsizing—i.e., reducing displacement to improve fuel economy and offsetting the resulting loss of power and torque via charging—is an effective approach to reducing fuel consumption, Mazda has chosen a different route.

opportunity to downsize – large-engine performance, but with the size, weight and fuel economy of a much smaller unit. The performance boost offered by turbocharging typically results in a 50 per cent increase in torque, so there is a significant opportunity to downsize capacity while still providing a potential performance benefit.
