1MZ-FE ENGINE
DESCRIPTION
The 1MZ-FE engine on the new ’03 Camry, which is a V6, 3.0-liter, 24-valve DOHC engine based on the
1MZ-FE engine on the previous ’03 Camry, has following features that have been newly adopted in order
to realize the further improvement of the engine performance, fuel economy and to reduce exhaust emissions.

 VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) system is used.

 An active control engine mount and two hydraulic engine mounts have been adopted.
 The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system has been discontinued.
