The 1.4-liter Nissan CGA3DE engine was produced for a very short time from 2000 to 2003 and acted as a more modern and advanced modification of its younger brothers. The power unit in the local market was offered in a 100 hp version with direct fuel injection.
The CG family also includes internal combustion engines: CG10DE and CG13DE.
The engine was installed on:
- Nissan Micra 2 (K11) in 2000 – 2003;
- Nissan March 2 (K11) in 2000 – 2003;
- Nissan Cube 1 (Z10) in 2000 – 2002.

Disadvantages of the CGA3DE engine
- The most common procedure is to replace stretched timing chains;
- This is followed by cleaning the throttle to get rid of floating speed;
- The thermostat often freaks out or the electronic engine control board burns out;
- Often there are oil and wine leaks, usually in quickly drying oil seals;
- The cause of the tripping of the motor can be water seeping into the candle wells.
