Mitsubishi submitted a modern diesel engine with variable valve timing for the new model ASX.
The function conferred on the phase change is already known for petrol motor system Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control (MIVEC), which has not been used in diesel engines. The recent development of Japanese engineers allowed to squeeze out 1.8-liter engine to 150 hp power and 300 Nm of torque momenta.Pomimo this system, a merit in obtaining high-power characteristics and low CO2 emissions at little system lezhin sommon supply rail, which provides multi-port fuel injection pressure 2000 bar, with a variable geometry turbocharger and particulate filter (for ecology).
ASX, the motor turned out quite economical. Thus, in four-wheel drive versions of it on average consumes 5.7 l/100 km, while in the FWD version - 5,5 / 100 km. But it provided recommendations on the use of gear. If you ignore these tips fuel consumption rises to 5.9 l/100km. The use of variable valve timing allowed more smooth and soft operation of the diesel. Later appears weaker 116-strong modification of the diesel engine, as well as 117-strong petrol unit with a working volume of 1.6 liters.
