Best engine in 2023?

My uncle found a 1991 Park Avenue a few years back with only 70K miles. It was nearly mint. My brother bought it off of him a year or so after that. It still smelled new. Those leather seats were BETTER than couch cushions I kit you not, and the leather was of excellent quality. Like new 27 years later.
By far the best gasoline passenger engine you can can still buy new in 2023 is a Nissan VQ40DE - one of the best engines they ever made. Unfortunately you will need to fly to the middle east to get one - they still put it in the Patrol from my understanding (or did in 2022) but only in the middle east, not in Australia.
I would be the last person to hedge my bets on a Hyundai/Kia engine till they have at least 5 years of a track record. With 5 BILLION dollar of engine warranty repair on Hyundai/Kia motors in the last 10 years. I would not put my money on that new engines just yet.
2.5 Liter Toyota 8 injector 4 banger would be my choice.

Hyundai 1.6 smart stream engine hands down the best engine of 2023
1200 single port. Flow was so bad you couldn't overrev them.
Reading reviews as recent as 2020 Hyundai is still having engine issues.
Hands down, the z06s flat plane crank v8.
Now, if you want practical? I'd say Honda's 2.0 turbo. Even with fuel wash potential, its still done very well.
Toyota 2ZR-FE
Hands down the Ford 7.3 gas Godzilla motor. Fresh pushrod design that has been overbuilt and understressed

Which 2023 Nissan product can you get a VQ40DE in? I thought those were done back in 2019 and replaced with the VQ38DD.
+1 Back when I was in HS in the 70's if you called a car engine a motor you'd get an F in shop class.
That's about the only thing I like from Ford, and it's not DI, another plus in my book.
Just buy a MAZDA. Simple long lasting reliable and fun to drive.
Am not convinced anyone but Tesla is serious about EVs.
A Model Y LR would be my choice. Musk says they are being built to 500,000-1,000,000 mile anticipated service lifetime.
Musk said he has private equity to take Tesla private when the stock was dropping. He is court for that "misleading of investors" at the moment if I am not mistaken.
I would take what he says with a grain of salt.
Apparently what Musk has been releasing since talking over Twitter is being taken with a grain of salt by the media because it exposes their pals.
I consider the Ford Duratec 2.5 (which is really a Mazda MZR) in my Escape to meet the criteria the OP describes (longevity, durability, ease of maintenance) very well. The Mazda 2.5 Skyactive is another good one IMO. I agree with those touting Toyotas but I'm not ready to put Hyundais in that category yet.
That 'un's too new-fangled - it's got a PCV.Six Banger swap.
