This is a list of piston engines developed, independently or with other car companies, by Toyota Motor Corporation.
Engine codes Toyota has produced a wide variety of automobile engines, including three-cylinder, four-cylinder, V6, V8, V10, and V12 engines. The company follows a naming system for their engines: The first numeric characters specify the engine block's model (usually differed by displacement) The next one or two letters specify the engine family The suffix (separated by a dash) specifies the features of the engine:

Other manufacturers may modify the engine after it has left the Toyota factory but the engine still keeps the original Toyota designation. For example, Lotus added a supercharger to the 2ZZ-GE in some versions of the Lotus Elise and Exige, but the engine is still labelled 2ZZ-GE, not 2ZZ-GZE.
Examples:
3S-GTE 3S – Third model in the S engine family G – Performance cylinder head DOHC T – Turbocharged E – Multi-point fuel injection 1UR-FSE 1UR – First model in the UR engine family F – Normal cylinder head DOHC S – D-4S Gasoline direct injection E – Multi-point fuel injection 1KD-FTV 1KD – First model in the KD engine family F – Normal cylinder head DOHC T – Turbocharged V – D-4D diesel common rail direct injection
The use of "G" to denote twin cam engines was decided on in 1971, with the renaming of the 10R into 8R-G. Before that, twin cams had received separate numerical codes.
In 1987, Toyota began assigning dual letter engine codes to some of the "engine family" categories in some engine lines, particularly six-cylinder models. This can create potential confusion. E.g. 1MZ-FE – This is not a supercharged, narrow angle, fuel injected M-series engine, but a narrow angle, fuel injected MZ-series engine. Confusion is easiest to avoid when using the dash to separate between the engine series and its own characteristics: for instance, 1MZ-FE rather than 1M-ZFE.
Starting in 2015, the designations after the dash have a maximum combination of three letters, even though there are more suffixes applicable, especially when newer engine technologies are introduced. For example, both the 2GR-FKS and 8AR-FTS engines have electronic multi-point fuel injection, but the "E" suffix is not included in the code.
Dynamic Force engine series The Dynamic Force engine series introduced in 2017 uses a different naming scheme, which is similar to that used by Honda and Suzuki. The two numbers between the first and second letters denote the displacement of the engine in liters. The suffix denoting the features of the engine is still used, as with prior engines.
Examples:
M20A-FKS M20A is a 2.0-liter engine, as denoted by the "20" in "M20A" F – Normal cylinder head DOHC K – On-demand Atkinson cycle in non-hybrid engines S – D-4S Gasoline direct injection T24A-FTS T24A is a 2.4-liter engine, as denoted by the "24" in "T24A" F – Normal cylinder head DOHC T – Turbocharged S – D-4S Gasoline direct injection
Some engines do not share the same displacement as with the one found in the engine code. For example, the displacement of the V35A-FTS is closer to 3.4 L despite being marketed as a 3.5 L engine. Moreover, there are a few engines that use the naming scheme of the Dynamic Force family of engines but are not actually part of them, such as the diesel-powered F33A-FTV.

Diesel Starting in 1957 until 1988, Toyota established a separate dealership in Japan dedicated to cars and trucks installed with diesel engines, called Toyota Diesel Store. When the dealership was disbanded, diesel products are now available at all locations, with commercial products exclusive to Toyota Store and Toyopet Store locations.
