The Renault-Nissan MR engine family consists of straight-four 16-valve all-aluminium and water cooled automobile engines with variable valve timing co-developed by Renault and Nissan. Renault calls it the M engine. Other noteworthy features of this engine family include acoustically equal runner lengths and a tumble control valve for the intake manifold, a "silent" timing chain, mirror finished crankshaft and camshaft journals, and offset cylinder placement in an attempt for increased efficiency.

The MR engine family features 'under stress' manufacture, meaning while the block is being bored, a torque plate puts the block under stress. The block becomes temporarily distorted until the head is torqued onto it, at which point the block is pulled into the correct shape.

M9 diesel

The M9R and M9T are a family of straight-four 16-valve turbocharged diesel engines co-developed by Nissan and Renault, and also Mercedes-Benz Group in the case of the M9T/OM699. Following Renault's designation plan, the last letter (M9R resp. M9T) is to indicate the swept volume of 2.0 L resp. 2.3 litres. Despite the similar names, the diesel engines are only loosely related to the MR gasoline engines. M9R is built at Renault's Cleon factory in Normandy.[5] As of late 2018, a new version of the M9R using adBlue and with slightly different internal dimensions replaced the original M9R.

Features of the diesel engines include a cast-iron block, aluminium alloy cylinder head with double overhead camshafts, 16-valve layout and a bushes timing chain. The M9T is directed to heavier vehicles like the Nissan Navara or the Renault Master. It features a bore and stroke of for a total displacement of 22991NaN1, balancer shafts,[6] typical speeds are 3500 rpm for maximum power and 1250 rpm for maximum torque.

Low output versions of the M9R for the Renault Trafic II at 66and had been replaced by the Renault R engine with the introduction of the Trafic III, while versions starting from 960NaN0 include VNT chargers. The top version of the Navara utilizes the M9T with twin-turbochargers and . During production period engines had been updated up to Euro 6 (in early 2017).

The M9R is a 1995cc 16-valve turbocharged diesel engine developed by the Renault–Nissan Alliance, and first installed in the Renault Laguna in 2006. It is available in the 1500NaN0 tune in Nissan Qashqai, Nissan X-Trail, Renault Mégane, Renault Koleos and Renault Laguna models. In this trim the engine achieves maximum power at 4000 rpm and maximum torque of 3400NaN0 at 2000 rpm. A 1750NaN0 form with particulate filter is available in Renault Laguna and Nissan X-Trail models. A 1800NaN0 variant is also available on the Laguna GT. In both engines maximum power is achieved at 3750 rpm and maximum torque is available from 1750 rpm.

In order to reduce vibrations, balance shafts are included in some versions of the engine.The 2.0 dCi engine in all its versions complies with the Euro 4 and 5 standards for exhaust emissions. The 1500NaN0 New Mégane and New Laguna respectively emitted 144g/km and 154g/km of CO2 and the 1290NaN0 version of New Laguna 2.0 dCi emits 159g/km of CO2; they all comply with the Euro 5 standards for exhaust emissions.

In 2011 the 96and M9R engines has been updated with an optional package to lower exhaust emissions (Euro5) and fuel consumption. These engines are tagged "2.0 Energy dCi 130" resp. "2.0 Energy dCi 150", typically maximum power is available at 3750 rpm and maximum torque at a minimum of 1750 rpm. The package comprises:

The CO2 values were thus reduced to 118 g/km for the Laguna both the 2.0 Energy dCi 130 and 2.0 Energy dCi 150.

Towards the end of 2018, the 2-liter M9R engine became the "M9R Gen 5" when it received a thorough redesign to comply with the increasingly stringent anti-pollution regulations: first of all the engine dimensions were changed, from to - using the same bore as the larger M9T but with nearly no change in displacement, which increases by 2 cc to 1997 cc. Another important innovation introduced with this update was the BluedCi technology, which involves the installation of a small tank of adBlue, a chemical additive that is injected upstream of the catalyst and which, when combined with the exhaust gas, causes a reaction chemistry within the catalyst itself. This reaction transforms most of the nitrogen oxides into harmless nitrogen and water vapor. This engine debuted in two power levels,, in the Renault Talisman II 2.0 Blue dCi which was produced from December 2018. In December 2020 a single 190 PS version replaced both of the earlier versions.

The engine is fitted to the following vehicles:

The M9T is a version specifically designed for light commercial vehicles that is manufactured by Renault in Cléon. It was introduced on the Renault Master and its badge engineered derivatives, initially with power ranging from 75kW to 110kW, and torque ratings starting at 185Nm up to 350Nm.[7] [8] Later, it was also introduced to the Nissan Navara and the Mercedes-Benz X-Class.[9] [10] Nissan calls it the YS23 while in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, it is named the OM699. The engines with lower power ratings feature a single fixed geometry turbocharger,[11] while the more powerful versions have a variable-geometry turbocharger or twin-turbochargers.[12] The engines are compliant with the Euro 6 emission regulations.[13]
