4J10 - the new-generation MIVEC engine

4J10 engine

Applicable on the 2012 Mitsubishi RVR and the 2012 Mitsubishi Galant Fortis lineup is the new generation 1.8L MIVEC engine coded as 4J10. So, what's up with the new 4J10 engine made by Mitsubishi?

For a kick-off, the new 4J10 engine is a new 16-valve SOHC 4-cylinder engine that produces 139PS/6000rpm of power, and 17.5kgf-m/4200rpm of torque. This helps the car to attain the maximum fuel economy of 17.0km/L based on Japan's 10-15 Mode test cycle. New to the 4J10 engine is the new AS&G (Auto Stop & GO) feature, a first from Mitsubishi Motors. The new Auto Stop & Go feature is an idling stop system which helps the 4J10 engine to shut off automatically when the car's stop at the red light. This provides optimized fuel economy and lower carbon footprints.

This new engine will be deployed globally and soon, I hope the Philippines will get this new engine also.
