The new Hyundai Santa Fe is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine across the entire lineup. The engine code for this model is G4KH. Here are the specific details about the G4KH engine: 1. This engine delivers 240 horsepower and a maximum torque of 353 Nm, capable of reaching 6000 rpm. 2. It outputs maximum power at 6000 rpm and achieves peak torque between 1450 to 3500 rpm. The engine features direct fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 3. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the Santa Fe for two years now, equipped with Hyundai's latest Smartstream series standard engine, specifically the 2.5L turbocharged G4SP. The driving experience is smooth, with seamless power delivery and quick response for highway overtaking. It's also excellent in fuel efficiency, with city driving consuming around 9-10L per 100km, and even more economical on highways at 7L. The engine technology is reliable with low maintenance costs, requiring only oil and filter changes regularly. After tens of thousands of kilometers, it has never had any major issues. It's perfect for family trips or long journeys, offering high stability and a compact design that reduces noise. The newly introduced hybrid version is even more energy-efficient and eco-friendly, ideal for congested city driving—highly recommend a test drive to experience it. In summary, this engine is highly practical and is the core appeal of the Santa Fe.
