The AR engine family is a Straight-4 piston engine series by Toyota, first introduced in late 2008 for the Toyota rav4, Highlander, and Venza. The AR series uses a Die casting aluminium engine block with cast iron cylinder liners and aluminium DOHC cylinder heads. The engine series shares many of the advanced technologies in the AZ engine, with new features such as continuously Variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust camshafts (Dual VVT-i).
The cylinder block is an open-deck, midi-skirt aluminium type with cast-in iron liners and a die-cast aluminium lower crankcase and a stamped oil pan. The forged steel crankshaft is fully balanced with eight counterweights and supported by five main bearings. A helical gear pressed in No. 3 counterweight drives twin contra-rotating Balance shaft in the shaft housing within the lower Crankcase.
