GAC-Toyota launched the 2019 Camry 2.0 yesterday. Most notable thing about the new model year is switching from the older 6AR-FSE to the new ChDM M20C-FKS. Compared to the international model M20A the engine has a minor power bump from 168hp to 176hp and torque bump from 203N.m to 210N.m (over a wider range as well). With this update the Dynamic Force 2.0 has matched the 2GR-FSE in specific output while running on regular fuel.
TMEC started working on the software for M20C in 2017 and then they said the engine will deliver the power of the 2.5L 2AR-FE while consuming same amount of fuel as the 1.8L 2ZR-FE. Now it seems that they have delivered on the promise.
I know this is pretty much out of the question now that they've committed to forced induction at the high end. But just think about what they can build if they scale this up to a 3.5L V6, a 5.0L V8, or even a 5.7L V8... with premium fuel and non-restrictive intake and exhaust we could be looking at 100hp/L for an output-optimized Dynamic Force engine.
*There's still a spot for a nicely balanced naturally aspirated V8 for utility vehicles in that chart.
