Dacia Engines: Everything you need to know about Dacia engines
Dacia is the best-known Romanian car manufacturer and today a full subsidiary of the French carmaker Renault. Dacia models are considered robust and are known for their reasonable prices. They are often based on Renault technology.
Together with Nissan and Mitsubishi, Renault and thus also Dacia belong to an alliance of carmakers that also develop joint models and engines. Some Dacia engines are known for their low fuel consumption, others cause problems with elongated timing chains.
Dacia Engines Overview
Depending on the vehicle, Dacia engines are installed in different variants as diesel, petrol or electric motors. The designation of the engines often contains the approximate power of the respective engine in hp. For example, the petrol engine with the designation TCe 150 produces exactly 150 hp.
Dacia petrol engine
- Dacia SCe engines: Dacia engines with the SCe designation are petrol engines that operate as purely naturally aspirated engines without turbochargers.

It is considered robust and provides sufficient driving performance. It is installed in the Dacia Sandero, Duster and Logan models.

- Dacia GPF engines: If a Dacia engine bears the designation GPF, it is a petrol engine with an additional particulate filter. The term GPF is an abbreviation for Gasoline Particulate Filter. As with the diesel, the particulate filter ensures improved exhaust gas values. This type of Dacia engine can be found, for example, as TCe 130 GPF in the Dacia Dokker.
