Nissan says the 1.0-liter HRA0 turbo engine provides up to 50% more acceleration compared to naturally aspirated engines, especially in take-off and overtaking situations.
Rabotho commented: “The B-Cross / SUV signifies another milestone in our Nissan Next phase that provides an eclectic and highly enjoyable driving experience, while lowering emissions and delivering great mileage, a compelling combination that all car owners can appreciate. “
Cleaner engine
The elastic accessory belt for the HRA0 1.0 turbo engine is made from a special material that allows it to run without a tensioner, reducing weight and friction, further improving fuel economy and reducing CO2 emissions. The compactly designed cylinder head, featuring an integrated exhaust manifold and plastic cover, provides improved engine gasket and reduces the number of passageways for better and faster catalyst heating, resulting in cleaner emissions.
