The 1.4-liter Nissan CGA3DE engine served as a more sophisticated and contemporary version of its younger siblings and was manufactured for a very brief period of time, from 2000 to 2003. A 100 horsepower version of the power unit with direct fuel injection was available in the local market.
The CG10DE and CG13DE internal combustion engines are also part of the CG family.
The engine was mounted on:
- Nissan Micra 2 (K11) in 2000 – 2003;
- Nissan March 2 (K11) in 2000 – 2003;
- Nissan Cube 1 (Z10) in 2000 – 2002.

Disadvantages of the CGA3DE engine
Replacing stretched timing chains is the most popular procedure;
Cleaning the throttle to eliminate floating speed comes next.
The electronic engine control board frequently burns out or the thermostat freaks out;
Oil and wine leaks are common, usually in oil seals that dry quickly; water seeping into the candle wells may be the reason the motor trips.
