The D-Type engine is a straight-4 automobile engine from Renault designed to replace the venerable Renault Cléon engine in the Renault Twingo.

D7F

First produced in July 1996, the D7F displaced nominal 1.2 L (1,149 cm³ (70 cu in)) and produced 60 PS (44 kW; 59 hp) at 5250 rpm and 93 N·m (69 lb·ft) at 2500 rpm. It had sequential multipoint fuel injection.

Applications:

• 1992–present Renault Twingo
• 1996–2008 Renault Clio
• 1998 Renault Kangoo

D7D

The D7D was a 1.0 L (999 cm³ (61 cu in)) version.

Applications:

• 1997–2001 Renault Clio
• 1998 Renault Kangoo

D4F

The D7F was replaced by the D4F in December 2000. It was the same displacement but added 16-valve heads for 75 PS (55 kW; 74 hp) at 5500 rpm and 105 N·m (77 lb·ft) at 4250 rpm.

Applications:

• 2000–present Renault Twingo

D4FT

In an effort to produce a cost-effective fuel efficient engine Renault introduced a turbocharged version of the D4F, the D4FT, in 2007. Renault named it the 1.2 TCE (Turbo Control Efficiency). This engine features revised 16-valve heads and stronger internals to handle the higher stress caused by turbocharging, resulting in 101 PS (74 kW; 100 hp) at 5500 rpm and 145 N·m (107 lb·ft) at 3000 rpm.

Applications:

• 2007–present Renault Twingo
