  1. OUTLINE

    1. 1ZR-FAE, 2ZR-FAE and 3ZR-FAE Engine

      1. The 1ZR-FAE, 2ZR-FAE, and 3ZR-FAE engines are provided. These engines are equipped with a Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent (Dual VVT-i) System, which continuously performs variable controls on the intake and exhaust valve timing, and a VALVEMATIC, which continuously performs variable controls on the amount of lift of the intake valve.

      2. The VALVEMATIC, Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent (Dual VVT-i) System, Direct Ignition System (DIS), Electronic Throttle Control System-intelligent (ETCS-i) and Acoustic Control Induction System (ACIS) are provided, thus achieving improved engine performance, fuel economy, and clean emissions.
