The Three Japanese Swordsmen refer to the Accord, Camry, and Teana. These three models are all B-segment sedans, enjoying strong sales and favorable reputations. After its generational update, the Accord fully embraced the turbocharging era. The Camry adopted a new platform post-update, featuring a more youthful exterior design. The Teana, following its update, delivered enhanced power, improved handling, and a more contemporary appearance. Additionally, the Teana's engine incorporates a groundbreaking technology—the world's first variable compression ratio system. Below are details about the Teana's engines: 1. 2.0-liter Naturally Aspirated Engine: This engine produces 159 horsepower and 208 Nm of maximum torque. It achieves peak power at 6,000 rpm and maximum torque at 4,400 rpm. Equipped with dual C-VTC continuous variable valve timing and direct fuel injection, it features an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. Notably, this engine does not include the variable compression ratio technology. 2. 2.0-liter Turbocharged Engine: Generating 252 horsepower and 380 Nm of maximum torque, this engine reaches peak power at 5,600 rpm and maximum torque at 4,000 rpm. It incorporates both variable compression ratio technology and continuous variable valve timing, along with an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. Both engines are paired with CVT transmissions.
