1.5 VVTI "2NR-FKE" Engine [e.g. Yaris, Corolla]

The Toyota 1.5 VVTi (engine code: 2NR-FKE) is fitted in many of Toyota’s smaller cars. It’s a four-cylinder, 16-valve petrol engine with a displacement of 1.5 litres, built on Toyota’s TNGA platform.

The 2NR-FKE features a range of technical refinements that boost both performance and fuel efficiency. It uses a timing chain rather than a timing belt, giving it greater durability and lower maintenance needs. Direct injection further improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions.

The engine also benefits from Toyota’s VVT-iE technology, which improves performance and fuel economy. VVT-iE (Variable Valve Timing intelligent Electric) electronically adjusts valve timing and lift, helping the engine start faster and reducing fuel consumption.

A lightweight alloy cylinder block and an oil cooler help keep engine temperature under control. Particular attention was paid in the design to reducing internal friction, which helps save fuel and reduces engine wear.

Output varies by model, but most versions produce around 105-120 horsepower and 140-150 Nm of torque. The recommended service interval is typically around 10,000-15,000 km or once a year, depending on driving style and conditions.

The Toyota 2NR-FKE has an excellent reputation for longevity and reliability, and it has proven to be a hugely popular choice for small cars worldwide. It’s also an environmentally friendly engine, with low friction and efficient combustion helping keep emissions down without compromising performance.

The Toyota 2NR-FKE is used in a wide range of Toyota models worldwide, including the Corolla, Yaris and C-HR. It also appears in several other makes and models, as Toyota has licensed the engine to other manufacturers.
