Summary

Two brand-new small-medium ranges of 4 cylinder gasoline engines have been developed jointly by Nissan and Renault. These 2 segments cover a 1.5-1.6 liter version (=HR engine) and a 1.8-2.0 liter version (=MR engine). Both the HR engine and MR engine share a host of new technologies and are designed to provide excellent fuel economy combined with improved acceleration performance under the conditions most commonly encountered in everyday driving. Specifically, the adoption of the following new technologies has substantially improved fuel economy and middle- to low-end torque under ordinary driving conditions.
