1KR-FE

The 1KR-FE is a {{convert|998|cc|L|1|abbr=on|disp=flip}} version built in Japan and Poland. Bore and stroke is {{convert|71x84|mm|2|abbr=on}}, with a compression ratio of 10.5:1. Output is {{convert|67|PS|kW+bhp|abbr=on|0}} at 6000 rpm with {{convert|91|Nm|lbft|abbr=on|0}} of torque at 4800 rpm - and a rev-limit of 6500 rpm - or {{convert|71|PS|kW+bhp|abbr=on|0}} at 6000 rpm with {{convert|94|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 3600 rpm. When originally on sale it met European emission standard EU4 requirements and had {{CO2}} levels of 109 g/km, but current applications meet European emission standard EU5 and can have {{CO2}} levels as low as 99 g/km.{{cite web |url=https://leasing.com/green-cars/peugeot/108/ |title=PEUGEOT 108: green cars with CO2 emissions under 120g/km |work=TheGreenCarWebsite |accessdate=2014-02-12}} This engine has been given the 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010{{cite news |url=http://www.autoblog.com/photos/mercedes-benz-amg-v8#3112998 |title=International Engine of the Year Photo Gallery |first=Sam |last=Abuelsamid |work=Autoblog |date=2010-06-24 |accessdate=2014-02-12}} International Engine of the Year awards in the sub-1.0 liter category.

The engine was also adapted to meet European emission standard EU6 and can have {{CO2}} levels as low as 88/89 g/km in Toyota Aygo or Citroën C1/Peugeot 108 since 2014 in NEDC.

The 1KR-DE is the non-VVT-i variant of the 1KR engine made by Daihatsu. It produces less power and torque than the 1KR-FE. Output is {{convert|65|PS|kW+bhp|abbr=on|0}} at 6000 rpm and {{convert|85|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 3600 rpm. Bore and stroke is {{convert|71x84|mm|2|abbr=on}}, while the engine displacement is {{convert|998|cc|L|1|order=flip|abbr=on}}.{{cite web |url=http://www.toyota.astra.co.id/product/agya/ |title=Toyota Agya - Specifications |work=www.toyota.co.id |accessdate=2014-09-17}}{{cite web |url=http://daihatsu.co.id/products/specification/ayla |title=Daihatsu Ayla - Specifications |work=www.daihatsu.co.id |accessdate=2014-09-17}}

The 1KR-DE was specially designed for the Indonesian LCGC (Low Cost Green Car) market to reduce cost. The cylinder head cover is made from a light weight plastic-resin material. The exhaust manifold is integrated to the cylinder head together with the catalytic converter and oxygen sensor to save even more weight as well as helping the engine to warm up quicker, reducing total exhaust emissions. There was an overall saving of {{convert|10|kg|lb||abbr=on}}. {{cite web |url=http://www.otosia.com/berita/7-keunggulan-mesin-agya-ayla.html |title=7 Agya Engineering Excellence - Ayla |trans-title=7 Keunggulan Mesin Agya - Ayla |language=Indonesian |work=Otosia.com |date=2012-09-24 |accessdate=2014-03-04}}

The 1KR-VE is a more powerful variant made by Perodua specifically improved version from the 1KR-DE2 which is made for the newest edition in the Perodua family.{{cite news |last=Tan |first=Danny |date=2023-02-14 |title=2023 Perodua Axia D74A launched – 1.0L D-CVT; DNGA; larger body; G, X, SE, AV variants, fr RM38.6k |work=paultan.org |location=Malaysia |url=https://paultan.org/2023/02/14/2023-perodua-axia-d74a-launched-1-0l-d-cvt-dnga-larger-body-g-x-se-av-variants-fr-rm38-6k/ |access-date=2023-02-16}} New 1.0-litre VVT-i engine is lighter & compact for better fuel consumption, better performance, reduced vibration & noise level. It was specifically made for the 1.0-litre variant for Perodua's first solely in-house manufactured car which is the Perodua Bezza. It is a modified and refined version of the 1KR-DE2 engine from the Perodua Axia. The new 1KR-VE engine produces {{convert|68|PS|kW+bhp|abbr=on|0}} at 6,000 rpm and {{convert|91|Nm|lbft|abbr=on|0}} at 4,400 rpm, offering a mild {{convert|1|hp||abbr=on}} and {{convert|1|Nm|lbft||abbr=on}} increase over the Axia's 1KR-DE2 plant. Perodua claims ECE fuel consumption figures of {{convert|22.8|km/L||abbr=on}} for the manual variant and {{convert|21.3|km/L||abbr=on}} with the automatic, both exhibiting a {{convert|1.2|km/L||abbr=on}} improvement over the old 1KR-DE2. The new 1KR-VE engine now features variable-valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i) on the intake valves. Several minor changes and refinements were also introduced for increased fuel efficiency and more linear power delivery. Notable changes include a higher 11.5:1 compression ratio, a high-tumble intake port, a longer intake manifold, micro fuel spray injection and low-friction valve lifters.
