In Bian Xiao's view, the engines of Japanese cars have the following three characteristics: advanced technology, durability and fuel saving, making good use of naturally aspirated and large displacement engines. So in the long history of Japanese cars, what are the classic engines and representative models? Today we will start with the displacement of 2.0L.
As we all know, Japan is an island country, limited by land area and resources, so Japanese people have a strong sense of environmental protection. When Japanese cars started, family cars were the main products. Since it is a family car, it naturally needs to be light and fuel-efficient. This determines that the engine displacement cannot be too large. Then, the displacement of 2.0L becomes the "golden displacement".
Of course, under the displacement of 2.0L, Japanese cars have also launched many fine products. Take two models as examples: Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, which used the displacement of 1.8L in the early days. So what are the classic representative models in the 2.0L displacement?
Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Sunshine & Sylphy, Mazda CX-5, Subaru Forester.
Speaking of Camry, people who are a little older will have a soft spot for it. Streamlined design is unforgettable. Until today, there are still many imported Camry active on the road. Camry was made in China in 2006 and renamed Camry. The main model is 2.0L, and the displacement of 2.0L has been the main model for more than ten years.
Honda Accord is also a very noteworthy model among mid-level cars, which is suitable for IKEA. Since the sale of the seventh and eighth generation Accord, the displacement of 2.0L has been active with the Accord until today.
As an imported model, Nissan Sunshine is also one of the most popular models in that era, with beautiful appearance and durability.
Since its listing, Sylphy has focused on space cards, but it cannot be ignored that Sylphy has not lost power and fuel economy while ensuring space. Sylphy is also an outstanding representative model with a 2.0L engine.
Mazda is also one of the car companies that are good at researching engines. CX-5 is a very successful model and deeply loved.
Loyal to the horizontally opposed Subaru, many models also use 2.0L displacement, and Forester is one of them.
3.0L——4.0L Toyota Crown & Asia Dragon, Mitsubishi Pajero and Nissan Feng Ya & 350Z & gt-R.
Speaking of the displacement of 3.0L, it seems that V6 will always accompany it. Many people think that 3.0L and V6 are a perfect match on the engine. Under this displacement, we can't help but mention the crown. After all, the Crown model has brought too many memories to consumers in China since it was imported to China and stopped production today. Today, the 10th Crown is still active as a taxi in the streets of Japan and China.
After the12nd generation Crown was made in China in 2005, the displacement of 3.0L was well inherited and preserved. This generation of crowns can be said to have the closest contact with China people. Nowadays, many car service agencies spend a lot of money to prepare this generation of crowns, which makes many crowns of this generation divided twice.
As the main model in the North American market, the Asian Dragon model is deeply loved by American car owners. A notable feature of North American cars is that they like big V6 and V8. The Asian Dragon is equipped with such a 3.5L V6 engine. Until recent years, in addition to Asian Dragon, there are many Toyota products using this displacement, such as Prado and Erffa.
Mitsubishi is also a representative of the magic car in the eyes of a generation, and Pajero uses 3.0L and 3.8L V6 engines.
Speaking of Nissan's cars, we can't help but say that Nissan's famous VQ series engines. This engine can be described by a popular saying: debut is the peak, to what extent? This peak is 14 years! VQ engine won the title of Top Ten Engine in the world for 14 years in a row, which is unique in the whole automobile industry. Of course, there are not a few models using this series of engines, but they are generally 3.5L V6 displacement models.
Nissan Murano, 3.5V6, is also the prototype of Dongfeng Nissan Loulan.
Nissan Elegance, 3.5V6, is also the prototype of G series in finidi, England.
GT-R, known as the road god of war, is a special existence: it has two special features: one is the use of turbocharging, and the other is that it has become a recognized "super sports car" with a small displacement engine of 3.8L V6.
Nissan 350Z, 3.5L V6 is also an elegant sports car.
Toyota cruisers with displacement of 4.0L and above & Tantu & Sequoia, Lexus LS 430&GS 430&GX 460&LX 570, Nissan Sima.
Speaking of Toyota's famous 5.7L V8 engine, people often think of the roar of this kind of car when it catches fire. Why does Toyota's car have such a sound? The answer is large displacement+silicone oil fan. Speaking of this 5.7L V8 engine, I really equipped a lot of cars for Toyota, and of course Lexus. The engine of this car is Toyota's famous 3UR-FE engine, which is equipped with Land Cruiser, Pingshun Pickup, Sequoia and lexus LX570.
Toyota Land Patrol, 5.7L V8, also used 4.7L V8, 3.0V6, 4.0V6, 4.6V8, 4.7L V8 and other versions. Now, it has also successfully "slimmed down", equipped with a 3.5L V6 turbocharged engine.
Lexus LX570, 5.7L V8 engine is deeply loved by bosses in China.
1989 the first generation of Lexus LS came out, which opened the glorious history of Lexus.
Lexus LS430 and 4.3L V8 engines are also memories of a generation.
To sum up, in the past 30 years, Japanese car companies have indeed brought us many surprising models. Of course, there are some very classic models that are not listed here, such as Toule, which also uses the 5.6L V8 engine, and the luxury brand owned by finidi QXX80 Nissan. 2.5V6 and 3.0V6 Toyota Reiz; 4.0L V6 Toyota overbearing and so on. However, times have changed. Under the background of energy and environmental protection and the rapid development of new energy vehicles, Japanese car companies are also changing their concept of building cars. Toyota is also deeply cultivating pure electric vehicles after hybrid technology of oil and electricity; Honda sells many main models, such as CR-V, Accord, Odyssey, Ailishen and so on. , using hybrid technology of oil and electricity; Nissan also replaced the concept of small displacement+turbocharging into many models. All in all, Japanese brands are also advancing with the times and constantly innovating.
