It has been developed to achieve high performance, quietness, fuel economy and clean emissions.

      2. This engine uses ESTEC D-4T.

        Tech Tips


        • Economy with Superior Thermal Efficient Combustion (ESTEC): An engine series which achieves thermal efficiency (fuel economy) improvements through continuous improvements to engine combustion.

        • Direct injection 4-stroke gasoline engine with Turbo (D-4T): A direct injection technology which uses a system to comprehensively perform supercharging control for the D-4 system and turbocharger to achieve a higher dimension of high tumble flow and turbo pressure control by optimizing the cylinder head ports and shape of the piston faces. As a result, fuel economy and low-speed torque are achieved.
