NSP120Stock varies — page stays live

The 1.3-liter front-wheel-drive variant of the second-generation Ractis. The introduction of the advanced 1NR-FE (and later the Atkinson cycle 1NR-FKE in 2014) significantly enhanced fuel economy and thermal efficiency, while the exterior featured a sleeker, slightly lower silhouette.
