What engines does the Kia KX7 have?

The engine of the Kia KX7 is produced by Shandong Rizhao Weiya Automotive Engine Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which is a domestic engine. The engine model of the Kia KX7 is G4KH, with a maximum power of 177kW, a maximum torque of 353Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 241. For daily maintenance of the Kia KX7 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When the oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing the oil to bypass through the bypass valve and still carry dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder generated by part wear to form sludge. A small amount of sludge remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and the engine.
I've driven the Kia KX7 several times and paid special attention to its engine configuration. It mainly offers a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine option, delivering approximately 240 horsepower with direct fuel injection technology, providing strong low-end torque for quick response and effortless overtaking. Under mixed driving conditions, fuel consumption is well controlled, averaging about 11 liters per 100 km in the city and dropping to around 8 liters on the highway. The engine noise suppression is excellent, making daily driving quiet with good smoothness, and the transmission matching is also very smooth. In terms of maintenance, this design is durable with an oil change interval of every 5,000 kilometers at reasonable costs. The power is reliable enough for occasional off-roading or fully loaded trips without any issues. Overall, it feels powerful and practical, suitable for those who enjoy a sporty driving style, but be mindful of the fuel tank capacity to avoid running out of gas in remote areas.
