Nissan has delved into the production of its new QASHQAI 2.0-liter dCi engine at Nissan’s Sunerland factory. Nissan approximately studied its QASHQAI sales to be fitted with this diesel engine rating over to 25%. The engine’s co-developed with Nissan’s alliance-partner Renault which delivers high-peak performance much credit to its powerful characteristics and easy road handling. And yes, it’s got that sustainable mobility as well as also eco-friendly.
Nissan’s engineering team have particularly adapted the tune and engine mapping for the QASHQAI as it is the first ever application to this 2.0-liter dCi engine on a model with all-wheel drive transmission. Sure enough, the engine is a popular one among customers since the 2.0-liter dCi (engine codes M1D) revs up 110kW at 4,000 rpm and 320 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm. It returns an economical figure of 42.8 mpg and CO2 emissions of 174 g/km when equipped with manual transmission and in 2WD configuration. Also, a six-speed automatic transmission is also available.
The engine also provides state-of-the-art technologies such as standard DPF and twin balancer camshafts, twin counter rotating balancer shafts and chain-driven camshafts. It has also a common-rail injection fuel parts that churns 1600 bar of pressure. Piezoelectric technology abounded by Bosch gives off an accurate control allowing a five squirt injection cycle: two pre-squirts, one main squirt and two post-squirts.
Here’s the gist:
The pre-squirts enhance engine acoustics by lessening the diesel clatter while the post-squirts maintain the main injection combustion to burn off filth. It does bring down pollutant emissions before exhaust gases have even left the combustion chamber.
The 2.0 dCi is fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) with a periodic regeneration system. When the particulates that has been amassed from the engine emissions reach a specified level, the engine guns a process that’s called as the thermal regeneration (performs a second post-injection to overheat the exhaust gas).
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) produces a controlled temperature rise in the combustion chamber to minimize pollutant emission levels which improves the engine’s overall performance.
Nissan’s expectations become true to form since customers harbor its innovative equipments such as the QASHQAI engine and other Nissan parts providing a true alternative to the conventional compact car. Customers are looking forward to receiving the first deliveries of the 2.0-litre diesel equipped QASHQAI â€" 15% of all QASHQAI orders already received are for this version. Nissan will roll out 700 QASHQAIs at the end of April.
