List of Toyota engines


This is a list of engines developed, independently or with other car companies, by Toyota.

Toyota has produced a wide variety of automobile engines, including inline-four and V6 engines. The company follows a simple naming system for their modern engines:

Note: Other manufacturers may modify the engine after it has left the Toyota factory but the engine still keeps the original Toyota designation. For example, Lotus added a supercharger to the 2ZZ-GE in some versions of the Lotus Elise and Exige but it is still labelled 2ZZ-GE, not 2ZZ-GZE.

For Example

2NR – 2nd generation engine in the NR engine family
F – Economy narrow-angle DOHC
E – Electronic fuel injection

1ND – 1st Generation Engine In The ND Engine Family
T – Turbocharged
V – D-4D common rail direct injection (diesel)

The use of "G" to denote twin cam engines was decided on in 1971, with the renaming of the 10R into 8R-G. Before, twin cams had received new numerical codes.

Starting in 1957 until 1988, Toyota established a separate dealership in Japan dedicated to cars and trucks installed with diesel engines, called Toyota Diesel Store. When the dealership was disbanded, diesel products are now available at all locations, with commercial products exclusive to Toyota Store and Toyopet Store locations.

Toyota has not published an explanation of the codes used for engine features. Matti Kalalahti derived a list of engine feature codes and published them on his "Engine codes explained" web page in Oct 1999.
