✦ Synopsis

To achieve suitable quietness and smoothness for high-quality luxury vehicles, the new V6 engine was substantially improved from its predecessor. Idling vibration was improved by reducing first-order inertia force and stabilizing combustion. Idling quietness was improved by reducing piston slap noise. Acceleration quietness was improved by reducing engine mount point vibration and radiation noise. Engine starting noise was improved by reducing the starter motor gear noise.
