The 1.4-liter Nissan CR14DE engine, also known as the CR14 for short, was manufactured in a Japanese facility between 2002 and 2013 and powered a variety of vehicles, including the original Note hatchback. At this point, the HR series engines have already replaced the CR series power units.
The CR10DE and CR12DE internal combustion engines are also part of the CR family.
The engine was mounted on:
- Nissan Micra 3 (K12) in 2002 – 2010;
- Nissan March 3 (K12) in 2002 – 2010;
- Nissan Cube 2 (Z11) in 2002 – 2008;
- Nissan Note 1 (E11) in 2004 – 2013.

Disadvantages of the CR14DE engine
Cases of hanging valves were occasionally documented during the initial years of production;
Because the engine is picky about fuel quality, the injectors must be cleaned every 60,000 kilometers;
The timing chain is already stretched and starts to rattle after 140–150 thousand kilometers;
Progressive oil consumption is already typical after 200,000 kilometers.
