The engine

VC-Turbo

2.0L Turbo I4 (Variable Compression)

A turbo four that continuously alters its own compression ratio on the fly, blending V6-rivaling muscle with four-cylinder efficiency in the Altima SR.

Designated KR20DDET, Nissan's variable-compression turbo debuted in the INFINITI QX50 and Altima after more than 20 years of development, replacing the old 3.5-liter V6.
