The maximum power ranged between 136 and 149 hp. The next generation had 2AD-FHV index. These power units had the following features: high-speed piezoelectric injectors, D-CAT system for reducing harmful emissions, compression ratio of 15.7:1, which was the lowest for this series. Like in 2AD-FTV engines, displacement did not exceed 2.2 liters. The power was 174 to 178 hp. Engines of this series were installed on Toyota models like the RAV4, Avensis, Corolla Verso, Auris, Verso, Corolla.
