The Renault R-Type is an straight-4 diesel engine produced from 2011. It replaces the 1.9 dCi engine in Renault's range and replaces the 2.0 dCi in the Nissan Qashqai. When launched, the engine produced 130 PS (96 kW; 130 hp) however a higher-powered twin-turbocharged variant producing 160 PS (120 kW; 160 hp) will be introduced later.

R9M 130PS
R9M 130PS was introduced in 2011.
Developed within the framework of the Alliance, the newcomer's performance credentials are similar to those of its predecessor, the 1.9 dCi 130 engine. This 1.6-litre powerplant delivers peak power of 96kW (130hp) and generous torque of 320Nm available across a broad rev-band.
This new block marks the beginning of a new phase in Renault's engine downsizing policy. The downsizing was obtained thanks to the shortening of the stroke of the pistons and a redesign of the reciprocating parts. The cylinder's swept volume is reduced and thereby diminishes the amount of fuel being burned during each cycle. Performance levels have been maintained, however, by improving turbocharging efficiency.
Applications:
- 2011- Renault Scenic
- 2011- Nissan Qashqai
- 2012- Renault Megane
- 2013- Renault Fluence
- 2014- Mercedes C Class[2]
R9M 160PS
R9M 160PS was launched in Feb.2011.[3] It is twin-turbocharged, derived from the new Energy dCi 130. It produces 118kW (160hp) from a capacity of 1598cc – that’s a specific power output of 100hp per litre. Peak torque (380Nm) is available from 1,750rpm. Paired with a dual clutch EDC gearbox, this driveline outputs CO2 emissions of 99g per kilometre.
Applications:
- 2011- Renault Captur Concept Car
- 2015- Renault Espace
- 2015- Renault Talisman
