and the downsizing of the particles sprayed from the injector. Mechanical loss has been minimized by combining 11 improvements, including a reduction in chain tension by cutting the chain width, a tension reduction in the piston rings and modification of the oil seal. The engine uses an i-EGR system. Running resistance lowered.

In recent years two methods, namely downsizing and downspeeding, were established on the market to reduce CO 2 emissions while maintaining the driving performance of engines with identical effective power but a larger displacement. The exhaust manifold and upstream catalytic converter was replaced by a manifold with a turbocharger flange.
