Engine family characteristics

This new engine was developed in order to satisfy new performance, weight and ecological standards. It is derived from the older 4A91 engine. The cars that employ this engine demonstrate fall mainly in the middle of the pack of city SUVs and CUVs. Peak torque arrives at an unusually low 1800 rpm and maintains a flat plateau up to 4500 rpm.
