Toyota Prius 2ZR-FXE 1.8L Hybrid JDM Engine 2016–22

Description

The Toyota Prius 2ZR-FXE 1.8L Hybrid Engine (2016–2022) is a highly efficient, low-mileage JDM replacement motor designed to restore your vehicle’s reliability, performance, and fuel economy. This fourth-generation hybrid power unit is sourced directly from Japan, where strict inspection laws ensure engines are retired early, making JDM motors some of the cleanest and lowest-mileage options available worldwide.

Engine Overview

The 2ZR-FXE belongs to Toyota’s ZR-series engine family and is specially engineered for hybrid applications. Unlike standard gasoline engines, it runs on the Atkinson cycle, which improves thermal efficiency and maximizes fuel savings. With a displacement of 1.8 liters, dual overhead camshafts, VVT-i, and lightweight aluminum construction, the 2ZR-FXE delivers smooth operation and impressive longevity.

When paired with Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive, this engine helps vehicles consistently achieve 50+ MPG, making it the cornerstone of Toyota’s eco-friendly lineup.
