A nozzle vane for a variable geometry turbocharger satisfies 0.45&#x3c;(Xp/L)&#x2264;0.60, where L is a chord length of the nozzle vane, and Xp is a distance between a leading edge of the nozzle vane and a rotation center of the nozzle vane.

Nozzle vane

A nozzle vane for a variable geometry turbocharger has an airfoil including a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure surface, and a suction surface at least in a center position in a blade height direction. The airfoil satisfies 0&#x2264;W/L&#x3c;0.03, where Wis a maximum value of a distance from a line segment connecting the trailing edge and a fixed point on the pressure surface at a 40% chord position from the trailing edge toward the leading edge to a given point on the pressure surface between the trailing edge and the fixed point, and L is a length of the line segment.
