The HRA0 1.0-litreturbo engine borrows “mirror bore cylinder coating” technology from world-class sports cars such as the Nissan GT-R, thus reducing resistance inside the engine, cutting weight, improving heat management and combustion, thus delivering smooth acceleration and efficient fuel use.

The HRA0 1.0-litreturbo engine also features six technical improvements that result in better fuel economy.The engine provides a new experience of responsive and quicker acceleration, whilst also refining noise, vibration and harshness through improved powertrain and road noise isolation, resulting in a quieter cabin. The HRA0 1.0-litre turbo engine also provides up to 50 percent better acceleration compared to naturally aspirated engines, especially in take-off and overtaking situations.

Rabotho commented “the all-new Nissan Magnite embodies our philosophy of Nissan-ness, which stands for empowering people through breakthrough products and technologies. The B-Cross/SUV signifies another milestone in our Nissan Next phase catering to an eclectic and highly enjoyable driving experience, while reducing emissions and offering great mileage – a compelling combination that every car owner can appreciate."

The HRA0 1.0-turbo engine’s elastic accessory belt is made of a special material allowing it to run without a tensioner, reducing weight and friction, further improving fuel economy and reducing CO2 emissions. The compactly designed cylinder head, which features an integrated exhaust manifold and plastic cover, provides improved engine packaging and reduces the number of ducts for better and faster catalyst warming, resulting in cleaner emissions.
