FEATURES


  1. OUTLINE


    1. 2AR-FE


      1. The 2AR-FE engine is an in-line 4-cylinder, 2.5 liter, 16 valve DOHC engine.

    2. A25A-FKS Engine


      1. The A25A-FKS engine is an in-line 4-cylinder, 2.5 liter, 16 valve DOHC engine. The engine adopts the Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent (Dual VVT-i) system which realizes optimal valve timing by using electric motors to actuate the intake camshaft actuators and engine oil pressure to actuate the exhaust camshaft actuators. In addition, this engine uses a high-expansion ratio Atkinson cycle, Direct injection 4-stroke gasoline engine Superior version (D-4S) system, Direct Ignition System (DIS), Electronic Throttle Control System-intelligent (ETCS-i) and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system employing a highly efficient EGR cooler. Thus, improved engine performance, quietness, fuel economy, and cleaner emissions have been achieved.
