2014-2016 Toyota Verso, Avensis, Auris, and RAV4 Diesels Get K&N Air Filter
- Jun 15, 2016
Diesel engines make the world go round, and are gaining popularity as more drivers realize the benefits of these torquey, efficient power plants mated with stylish, efficient, and comfortable passenger and sport vehicles. Liter-per-liter, diesels are more powerful than gasoline engines and are generally more fuel-efficient. Diesels also hold their value longer because there are still fewer of them on the road, especially among luxury cars, and for them, diesel fuel prices are lower than premium gasoline prices.
Toyota has been successfully contributing to the diesel development effort on all continents with its 1.6L and 2.0L inline 4-cylinder engines in the Verso estate, Auris hatch, Avensis sedan and wagon, and RAV4 IV compact SUV/crossover. The turbocharged 1.6L D-4D is based to a BMW design, with a dual-mass flywheel, new engine mounts, and revised electrical interfaces which replaced the 2.0L D-4D in the Verso starting in 2014. For the Avensis beginning in 2015, there is the 1.6L D-4D and a 143-hp 2.0L D-4D. The Auris got the 1.6L in 2015 and RAV4 IV got the 2.0L for model year 2014 in Europe. Most Verso and Avensis models now also include Toyota's Optimal Drive stop-start system to enhance fuel mileage. The RAV4 has an integrated drive system that distributes front-to-rear torque in variable proportions to also improve fuel consumption. These recent engine and drivetrain improvements have resulted in lower emissions, higher fuel economy, and overall longevity. If you're already a diesel convert, you've invested in longevity and know a turbodiesel depends more heavily on clean air than a gasoline engine. To help with preserve your investment, and even up your engine's horsepower and torque ratings, there is now the K&N 33-3053 replacement engine air filter designed specifically for the current 1.6L and 2.0L.
