The imported engine used in the Jinbei Grace is the 3RZ. Below are the relevant details: 1. Body dimensions: The 2016 Grace 2.0L Fast Transport Utility model measures 5235mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1980mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3430mm. 2. Powertrain: It is equipped with the Toyota 3RZ-FE engine, a 2.7-liter DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft) engine with 16 valves, delivering a maximum power of 105 kW. The vehicle features a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and a dual-muffler exhaust system. 3. International standards: The vehicle boasts a high-end sedan chassis, with the body constructed using Toyota's one-time forming technology for high-tension steel plates, ensuring the highest level of safety and meeting world-class safety standards.
I've driven several Toyota vehicles equipped with the 3RZ engine. The one I remember most clearly is the 1997-2004 Toyota Hilux pickup truck. This 2.7-liter engine had plenty of power and was particularly well-suited for off-roading. There was also the Toyota 4Runner, especially the models from around 1996 to 2002, which were incredibly stable on the highway and didn't consume much fuel. A friend of mine drove an early Toyota Tacoma with the same engine, and after more than a decade of use, the engine itself hardly had any major issues. The only thing to watch out for is regular oil changes and checking the ignition system to prevent aging from affecting performance. Overall, it's quite common in older Toyota pickups and SUVs, and it drives as reliably as an old friend.
