Among other things, the company says friction has been reduced by 32 percent. To go with all this, Nissan has also revised its continuously variable transmission (CVT). These are aimed at improving the engine's vibration isolation. And as for the vibrations that can accompany 3-cylinders, the 2022 Rogue's block benefits from a new mounting system consisting of two lower torsion bars. It's technical, but it does have the potential to improve performance. Then, for their part, new, textured valve lifters reduce friction to improve the block's fuel efficiency.

For example, a new high-pressure injection system helps produce better acceleration, as does a stainless-steel cylinder bore wall liner. To achieve this, Nissan has made a few tweaks to its approach. With this new powertrain, the VC Turbo's technologies focus on three things: acceleration, fuel economy and emissions. Variable compression, which changes from low to high, means that you get maximum pep when you push the throttle, and then optimal fuel economy when you drive smoothly. As a reminder, the VC Turbo offers several advantages on paper.
