The engine used in this vehicle is of a horizontally opposed, four-cylinder design. This four-strokecycle, water-cooled, DOHC turbocharged engine uses a total of 16 valves and its main components are made of aluminum alloy. It is fueled by a multiple fuel injection system.
The engine's major structural and functional features are as follows:
- The cylinder head forms pent roof combustion chambers, each having a spark plug located at its center and two each of intake and exhaust valves (four valves per cylinder). The intake and exhaust ports are located in a cross-flow arrangement.
- A single timing belt drives four camshafts on the left and right banks and the water pump on the left bank. Belt tension is automatically adjusted by a belt tension adjuster, eliminating need for manual adjustment.
- The crankshaft is supported at five journals with high rigidity and strength.
- The cylinder block is made of cast aluminum, and cast iron cylinder liners are cast in.
