The Toyota 1NZ-FXE is a 1.5 L (1,497 cc, 91.35 cu-in) hybrid straight-four 4-stroke natural aspirated gasoline engine from Toyota NZ-family.
The 1NZ-FXE engine features a lightweight aluminum block and aluminum cylinder head with two overhead camshafts (DOHC) and four valves per cylinder (16 in total). Toyota described the 1NZ-FXE engine as having an “Atkinson cycle” since the compression stroke is shortened and the expansion stroke longer. The engine has a high physical compression ratio of 13.0:1, but the closing of the inlet valve is delayed, for an effective compression ratio of 9.5:1 Cylinder bore and piston stroke are 75.0 mm (2.95 in) and 84.7 mm (3.34 in), respectively.
The 1NZ-FXE engine produced 76 PS (56 kW; 75 HP) at 5,000 rpm of maximum horsepower and 110 Nm (11.2 kg·m; 81.2 ft·lb) at 4,000 rpm of peak torque.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- 1 – 1-st generation engine
- NZ – Engine family
- F – Economy narrow-angle DOHC
- X – Hybrid Atkinson cycle
- E – Multi Point Fuel Injection
