From the classic Nissan Z cars to the ultra-high-performance 2020 Nissan GT-R, Nissan's commitment to creating the future of powertrain technology and performance is legendary, and the critics have been awarding the brand's engines for years. The latest prize for the Nissan trophy case: the 2020 Nissan Altima's revolutionary 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine has been named to Wards 10 Best Engine and Propulsion Systems list for 2020! Groundbreaking from top to bottom, including under the hood, the 2020 Altima's 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine is a game-changer, offering the uncompromising performance you'd expect from a V6 and the fuel-efficiency you might find in a naturally-aspirated four-cylinder, all in one engine The influential automotive publication Wards has been publishing their list of the ten best engine designs of the year since 1995. The inclusion of the Nissan Altima's VC-Turbo marks the 18th time in those 26 years that Wards has included a Nissan engine on the list. The secret of the VC-Turbo engine is an industry-first technology that allows the engine to automatically vary the length of the piston's stroke in milliseconds based on power needs, adjusting the compression ratio from anywhere between 8:1 to 14:1 compression. The system works through a unique multi-link system that connects the crankshaft to each piston. When cruising down the freeway or driving in normal traffic when power demands are low, the engine utilizes a higher compression ratio for the ultimate in fuel efficiency. Step on the gas, however, and internal actuators inside the engine reduce the throw of the connecting rods to lower compression. Simultaneously, the 2020 Altima's next-generation turbocharger spools up for maximum boost. The result is a push-you-back-in-the-seat surge of horsepower. "The Nissan VC-Turbo performs complex technical feats that amaze engineers and enthusiasts and provides exciting performance and outstanding fuel economy that everyone can appreciate," says Wards Senior Content Director, Drew Winter. Wards evaluates dozens of engines every year for possible inclusion on their annual 10 Best Engines list, evaluating each based on factors including horsepower, torque, noise, fuel economy, comparative specifications and applications of new technology. For the 2020 list, judges from Wards considered 26 newly-engineered or vastly improved engines in a range of real-world tests that included commuting, long road trips and stop-and-go driving in traffic. To be eligible for inclusion on the list, the vehicle's base must be under $65,000. The VC-Turbo engine is just one of the ways the all-new 2020 Nissan Altima is the future of automotive design and engineering that you can drive right now.
