Toyota Prius 1NZ-FXE 1.5L Hybrid Engine 04–09 JDM

Description

Upgrade your hybrid vehicle’s performance and efficiency with this 2004–2009 JDM Toyota Prius 1NZ-FXE 1.5L Hybrid Engine, a low-mileage, factory-tested power unit that has been precision-engineered for fuel economy, reliability, and smooth operation. This OEM hybrid engine combines Toyota’s innovative Atkinson-cycle technology with proven Japanese manufacturing quality, making it a perfect replacement for aging or failing engines in 2nd generation Prius and other Toyota hybrid models.

The 1NZ-FXE is a 1.5-liter, inline-four engine designed specifically for hybrid applications. Unlike conventional gasoline engines, it operates on the Atkinson cycle, which optimizes combustion for maximum fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Paired with the Prius’ hybrid synergy drive system, this engine delivers smooth acceleration, whisper-quiet operation, and outstanding longevity. Its lightweight aluminum construction reduces vehicle weight, further improving fuel economy.

This particular engine is sourced directly from Japan Domestic Market (JDM) vehicles, which are typically well-maintained and driven fewer miles than their North American counterparts. With just 61,000 miles on the odometer, it is in excellent mechanical condition, showing strong compression and clean internal components. Our technicians have thoroughly inspected and tested this engine for leaks, unusual noises, and operational integrity before clearance for sale.
