2018 Renault 1.3 Energy TCe engine - Distribution extract

The Renault-Nissan Alliance is presenting a newly developed 1.3-liter gasoline engine that has come to life as a result of a partnership with Daimler. Available with both manual and dual-clutch automatic gearboxes, the four-cylinder unit with a displacement of 1,330cc is making its debut in the Scenic and Grand Scenic duo of MPVs, with other models carrying the diamond logo to get the new Energy TCe unit in 2018. It will be available in three different configurations, starting off with the base Energy TCe 115 flavor set to produce 115 horsepower (85 kilowatts) at 4,500 rpm and a maximum 162 pound-feet (220 Newton-meters) of torque that will kick in from 1,500 rpm.
