The Nissan V9X is a V6 diesel engine manufactured by Renault since 2008 and installed in Nissan and Renault passenger cars .

History

The V9X engine was jointly developed by Nissan and Renault in Europe from 2005 . Initially, the development of a V-type 8-cylinder diesel engine was also considered, but since there was also a plan to mount an FF in common with Renault, it was finally decided to use a 3.0-liter V-type 6-cylinder , with a maximum output of 175 kW at the time of development. A maximum torque of 550N m and compliance with European emission standards, Euro 5, were targeted. The bank angle is 65 degrees so that it can be mounted vertically or horizontally on a model that was developed on the premise that only a gasoline engine will be installed .The engine with Bosch Common rail fuel injection has a single central turbocharge unit with intercooler.

It was first installed in the Renault Laguna Coupe announced in October 2008, and in 2010, the Infiniti brand will launch the EX30d and FX30d equipped with the V9X type in Europe. In addition, this model is the first diesel engine-equipped car for the Infiniti brand, and in September of the same year, the M30d, which is the European version of the Y51 Fugue equipped with a V9X engine, released.
