Nissan Engine Evolution: From Early Datsun Designs to Modern Powertrains

The history of engine development at Nissan goes all the way back to the early days of Datsun, Nissan's predecessor. You can see it in its water-cooled inline-4 Type 7, which first appeared back in the 1930s and continued to evolve over the next couple of decades. Since then, Nissan new engine has had its hand in producing a huge array of internal combustion engines spanning many years, ranging from gasoline to diesel types, including Nissan Rogue engines, such as the V-series V6 engines and QR and MR series inline-4 engines, right out to the larger VK V8 engines. Just a few examples of the many that have been used in their global vehicle line-up.

Important Nissan Engines and Their Compatibility

Nissan built the VQ35DE as a 3.5-litre, 3498 cc naturally aspirated V6 gasoline engine with DOHC, and it pumps out an impressive 228-311 horsepower. Over the years, Nissan and Infiniti have dropped this engine into some of their most popular vehicles, including the Maxima, Altima, Pathfinder, Murano, 350Z, and Infiniti G35/FX35.

Another interesting new engine of Nissan is the Nissan MR20DE, a 2.0 L with 1,997 cc inline-4 DOHC gasoline engine co-developed with Renault, featuring variable valve timing and multi-point fuel injection; it fits models like the Nissan Qashqai, Sentra, Teana, Serena, Bluebird Sylphy, and NV200.

The QR25DE, on the other hand, is definitely worth a mention. It's a 2.5-litre, 2488 cc straight-4 petrol engine with DOHC that was used across quite a few Nissan vehicles, including the X-Trail, Altima, Rogue, and Teana. Meanwhile, we have the K9K, a 1.5-litre, 1461 cc turbo Nissan diesel that has been used in some of the Nissan diesel engines. This just goes to show they use all types of engines in plenty of their models

Fitment With Other Makes

Nissan engines do not just stay within the Nissan family — they fit perfectly in other makes too. Nissan used the MR20DE engine in the Serena, Bluebird Sylphy, X-Trail, Qashqai, and Sentra. Renault adopted the same engine, calling it the M4R, and used it in the Clio, Laguna, and Mégane. Renault also dropped it into the Safrane, Scénic, Fluence, Koleos, and Latitude. The Renault-Nissan Alliance jointly developed the powerful V9X 3.0L V6 diesel engine. Renault fitted it in the Laguna III and Latitude. Nissan and Infiniti powered the Pathfinder, Navara, FX30d, EX30d, QX70, and M30d with it.

Transmissions of Nissan 

Nissan mainly employs Jatco transmissions and has a variety of models in automatic and manual Jatco transmissions. Within the Renault-Nissan Alliance, manual transmissions like the Renault JH160 and JR200 were shared between Nissan (e.g., Micra, Tiida, and Note) and Renault models (e.g., Clio, Almera, and Megane), showing cross-brand transmission component commonality. Some of the important Jatco-type transmissions are as follows:

  • Nissan used the Jatco 3N71 automatic transmission in vehicles like the Datsun 240Z, Datsun 620, Nissan Maxima, and Pathfinder as part of early Nissan transmissions, while Mazda also used it in cars such as the Mazda 616, RX-2, RX-7, Mazda Pickup, and Mazda 626, and Ford and Mercury fitted it in the Ford Courier and Mercury Monarch.
  • Nissan fitted the Jatco 4N71 transmission to models including the Maxima, 200SX, Pathfinder, Pickup, and Skyline, while Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Holden, and London Taxi also used it in vehicles like the Conquest, Starion, RX-7, Mazda Pickup, Mazda MPV, Holden Commodore VL 3.0, and London Taxi Fairway.
  • The Jatco 4R03 4-speed automatic transmission was used in Nissan/Infiniti vehicles like the Infiniti Q45, Nissan 300ZX, Nissan Cedric, and Nissan Patrol and also in the Mazda Eunos Cosmo with Mazda’s 20B-REW engine.
  • The Jatco 5R05 5-speed automatic transmission was used across many Nissan and Infiniti models, such as the Infiniti FX35, G35, G37, and Q45; the Nissan 350Z, Armada, Navara, Pathfinder, and Patrol; and also in Kia vehicles like the Kia Sorento and Kia Borrego.
