Toyota Ractis engines

Toyota Ractis is a Japanese subcompact car from Toyota Motor Corporation. It began to be produced in 2005. Literally translated, the name of the car means “rocket”, which in fact reflects its high dynamic properties on the road. From the very beginning, the car was manufactured only with right-hand drive and for the Japanese market. The first generation of the model was sold in Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, and also unofficially in Russia. Since 2010, the 2nd generation of the model has been produced, including a modification for the European market.

The Toyota Ractis was offered with 5 engines since 2005 (1 diesel, 4 petrol). Displacement ranges from 1.3 to 1.5 liters, power output from 68 to 115 hp. All of them use a timing chain. 1 is turbocharged. The longest rated lifespan belongs to the Toyota 1ND-TV (about 300,000 km).
