The HR is a family of straight-312-valve and straight-416-valveautomobile engines with continuously variable valve timing, involving development by Nissan (Aichi Kikai) and/or Renault, and also Mercedes-Benz in the case of the H5Ht/M282. The designation of H engine is used by Renault, and M28x by Mercedes-Benz, to classify the family. There are three basic specifications of engine involving variations in engine architecture, or all-new architecture, with 72.2 mm (2.84 in), 75.5 mm (2.97 in) and 78 mm (3.07 in) bore diameter.

This engine has two fuel injectors per cylinder to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. Bore: 78 mm (3.07 in); Stroke 83.6 mm (3.29 in). It produces 77 to 88 kW (103 to 118 hp; 105 to 120 PS) and 158 N⋅m (117 lbf⋅ft) at 4000 rpm.
A new version (still 8 Cycle) has been released to equip Renault hybrids (E-Tech), it produces 67 kW (90 hp; 91 PS) at 5600 rpm and 144 N⋅m (106 lbf⋅ft) at 3200 rpm.
It is fitted to the following vehicles:
neutral idle control achieved through the coordinated control of the engine in tandem with the XTRONIC CVT
introduction of alternator regenerative control mechanism
Reduction of engine friction by machining the cam shaft to a crowning mirror-like finish and application of a fluorine coating to the chain guide
Delayed valve closure timing of the intake, achieved through the increased conversion angle of C-VTC and superior timing management, thus reducing pumping loss when idling
Lower idling speed
The improved HR15DE engines were first used in Nissan Cube, Nissan Cube Cubic, Nissan Note, Nissan Tiida, Nissan Tiida Latio and Nissan Wingroad sold since December 25, 2006.[6][7]
HR12DDR
The HR12DDR is a 1.2 L (1,198 cc) supercharged straight-3 engine, equipped with timing chain and direct injection. The engine dimensions are the same as for the HR12DE. It produces 72 kW (98 PS; 97 hp) and 143 N⋅m (105 lb⋅ft). Designed for small-car applications, this gasoline engine incorporates a variety of technologies to minimize CO2 emissions while providing practical levels of power output.[2][8]
Some of the pertinent features are:
Compression ratio of 13.0:1
