The QG15DE engine is developed on the basis of the QG16DE, it was created with an eye to replacing the GA15DE. The manufacturer has reduced the diameter of the cylinders of the cylinder block. In addition, other pistons were used in the engine. The engine has an increased Compression ratio. But in general, for the most part, the engine is a repetition of the QG16DE, which served as a base for it. In order to reduce the toxicity of the outlet, the EGR system was used on the engine, a mechanical throttle valve was installed. This approach made it possible to slightly mitigate the environmental damage caused by vehicle outlet.
