Nissan’s Future Is Full Of V6 Engines

One of the big themes of the car industry over the last couple of decades has been downsizing, not necessarily of the actual size of vehicles, but with engines. Automakers have dropped cylinder counts and displacement, and made up for it with turbochargers. The turbocharged four-cylinder is far and away the most common powerplant today, even ending up in unexpected applications like entry-level GM full-size pickups. Nissan, however, seems to think there’s still a place for engines with more than four cylinders, revealing that it’s committed to V6s in some of its volume products.
