1. Engine
All models of the new Capella are equipped with "Diluted-burn" engines with increased power and a torque at the practical engine revolution range by improving the charging efficiency and combustion process. Especially, type FS-ZE 2.0-liter engine produces the class-leading 170 ps maximum power.
In the "Diluted-burn" engines, a large amount of the exhaust gas is recirculated into the combustion chamber to improve fuel efficiency and to reduce the CO2 and NOx emissions in the wide range of driving situation including the acceleration and stable driving. The three types of engines offered in the new Capella, has been increased the maximum power by 9 to 36% (*3), reduced the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 5 to 21%, and also reduced the NOx emissions by 7 to 18% (*3). For the 2.0-liter FWD models, the maximum power has been increased by 36%, and the fuel consumption, CO2 and NOx emissions has been reduced by 18%, respectively.
