Engine with VVT-i and catalytic converter, more powerful, responsive, and environmental friendly

Daihatsu Xenia VVT-i, not only with its new exterior and interior looks, but also is equipped with the VVT-i system. The VVT-i system will improve Xenia's engine performance to more powerful through higher maximum power, more responsive through higher maximum torque, and also make it more efficient fuel consumption. There are 2 kinds of engines, EJ-VE 1.0 VVT-i and K3-VE 1.3 VVT-i engines. The EJ-VE 1.0 VVT-i engine is the only engine in Indonesia, with displacement 1,000cc and has VVT-i system. For the 1.0 L engine model (Mi and Li variants), the benefits from the VVT-i system have been used to improve the fuel efficiency by approximately 7% for those customers who value economical benefits of Xenia. On the other hand, for the 1.3 L engine model (Xi variant), the VVT-i system contributes to improve the performance, increasing the maximum power and torque.

The new engine also fulfills Euro 2 standard, by its catalytic converter, which makes Xenia VVT-i more environmental friendly.
