Chronology
PredecessorToyota E engine
SuccessorToyota M15A engine (I3, for 1NZ series)

The Toyota NZ engine family is a straight-4 piston engine series. The 1NZ series uses aluminum engine blocks and DOHC cylinder heads. It also uses sequential fuel injection, and has 4 valves per cylinder with VVT-i.

The engines are produced by Toyota's Kamigo Plant in Toyota, Aichi, Japan (1NZ for Prius, NZ for Vitz and ist, and R1NZ for Sienta);[2] by Siam Toyota Manufacturing in Chonburi, Thailand (NZ for NBC cars such as the 1NZ-FE for the Yaris and Vios);[5][6] and by Indus Motor Company in Karachi, Pakistan (2NZ for Corolla).[5]

1NZ-FXE

See also: Brake-specific fuel consumption
1NZ-FXE and electric motor

The 1NZ-FXE is a hybrid 1.5 L (1,497 cc) version. Bore and stroke is 75 mm × 84.7 mm (2.95 in × 3.33 in). It features forged steel connecting rods and an aluminum intake manifold. 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[7]. The net result is that the engine has a greater effective expansion than compression—making it a simulated Atkinson cycle, rather than a conventional Otto cycle.

The reduction in cylinder charge means reduced torque and power output, but efficiency is increased. This combination makes the 1NZ-FXE suitable for use with the Hybrid Synergy Drive, where peak torque and power demands can be met by the electric motor and battery. Output is 76 hp (57 kW; 77 PS) at 5000 rpm with 115 N⋅m (85 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4000 rpm. Peak thermal efficiency is about 37%.[8] Production was discontinued in 2009, with the arrival of the 3rd generation Prius, which replaced the 1NZ-FXE with the 2ZR-FXE.

In 2012, upon the arrival of the Prius c (North America), the Aqua (Japan), and the Yaris Hybrid (Europe), an improved version was introduced. Without any belt-driven accessories, and a physical compression ratio of 13.4:1, the new version delivers an output of 74 hp (55 kW; 75 PS) at 4800 rpm with 111 N⋅m (82 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3600–4400 rpm.

The 1NZ-FXE Hybrid Synergy Drive in the Toyota Prius has won several International Engine of the Year awards:

  • Best Eco-friendly 2000
  • Best Eco-friendly 2001
  • Best Fuel Economy 2005
  • Best 1.4-litre to 1.8-litre 2005[9]
  • Best Fuel Economy 2006
  • Best 1.4-litre to 1.8-litre 2006[9]

1NZ-FXP

1NZ-FXP

The 1NZ-FXP is a hybrid 1.5 L (1,497 cc) version. Bore and stroke is 75 mm × 84.7 mm (2.95 in × 3.33 in). It features forged steel connecting rods and an aluminum intake manifold. 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[10]. The net result is that the engine has a greater effective expansion than compression—making it a simulated Atkinson cycle, rather than a conventional Otto cycle.

The reduction in cylinder charge means reduced torque and power output, but efficiency is increased. This combination makes the 1NZ-FXP suitable for use with the Hybrid Synergy Drive, where peak torque and power demands can be met by the electric motor, battery and LPG-hybrid system. Output is 76 hp (57 kW; 77 PS) at 5000 rpm with 115 N⋅m (85 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4000 rpm. Peak thermal efficiency is about 37%.[11].

Applications:

1NZ-FE

1NZ-FE

The 1NZ-FE is a 1.5 L (1,497 cc) conventional Otto-cycle variant of the 1NZ-FXE with VVT-i. The engine block is found in many Toyota models assembled in Japan and Asian countries. It retains the same bore and stroke, but the compression ratio is lowered to 10.5:1. Output is 109 hp (81 kW; 111 PS) at 6000 rpm with 141 N⋅m (104 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4200 rpm. The redline is 6400 rpm.

Applications:

1NZ-FTE

The 1NZ-FTE is a 1.5 L (1,497 cc) with an air-to-air intercooler Turbocharged conventional Otto-cycle variant of the 1NZ-FXE with VVT-i. The engine block is found in many Toyota models assembled in Asian countries. It retains the same bore and stroke, but the compression ratio is lowered to 10.5:1. Output is 141–148 hp (105–110 kW; 143–150 PS) at 6000 rpm with 196–200 N⋅m (145–148 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4200-4800 rpm. The redline is 6400 rpm.

Applications:

2NZ-FE

The 2NZ-FE is a 1.3 L (1,299 cc) version. Bore and stroke is 75 mm × 73.5 mm (2.95 in × 2.89 in), with a compression ratio of 10.5:1. Output is 63 kW (84 hp; 86 PS) at 6000 rpm with 121 N⋅m (89 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4400 rpm. In 2000, it won the International Engine of the Year award in the 1-litre to 1.4-litre category.[12]
