Where is the engine model number located on the Genesis Coupe?
3 Answers
The engine model number of the Genesis Coupe is located at the lower right side of the front of the engine. The engine is the device that provides power to the vehicle, determining its performance, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. Taking the 2012 manual Kùdòng edition Genesis Coupe as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4630mm, width 1865mm, height 1385mm, wheelbase 2820mm, fuel tank capacity 65 liters, and trunk capacity 332 liters. The 2012 manual Kùdòng edition Genesis Coupe features a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 260PS, maximum power of 191kW, maximum torque of 353Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've driven the Genesis Coupe a few times, and it's quite popular. The engine model is usually located in the most visible spot under the hood. After opening the hood, check the top or side of the engine, especially near the front fan area. There's typically a small metal plate engraved with the model number, like G4NA or the LAMBDA series. I checked my own car, and it was right on the upper right side of the engine block—just wipe off the dust with a cloth to see it clearly. If you can't find it, it might be covered by oil or dirt, so it's best to clean it first—safety first, don’t do this when the engine is hot. Actually, knowing this is quite useful—it helps when buying new spark plugs or matching parts for maintenance, and it prevents being misled by dealerships. The Genesis Coupe is relatively easy to maintain, and regular checks can extend its lifespan. If you drive this kind of car, it’s a good habit to pop the hood every few weeks and take a look—it saves you from small issues turning into big problems later.
I've worked on quite a few Korean cars in my career, and the Genesis Coupe's engine number location is pretty standard. Before starting, make sure the engine is cool. Pry open the hood latch, lean in and carefully inspect the upper section of the engine. It's most likely on a label near the front crash beam or on the front face of the cylinder block. For specific models like the 2.0T turbo, it's stamped on that thin metal plate - you can feel it with your fingers. If you can't locate it, don't force anything. Either use your phone to take a photo and zoom in, or check the diagrams in the last chapter of the owner's manual (which is right there in the glovebox). This number is crucial - even one digit wrong when ordering parts can cause serious issues. I've seen many people ruin their turbochargers by getting the model wrong. For all you Coupe owners out there, remember to regularly clean engine bay dust and prevent rust buildup that could obscure the number. This makes repairs quicker and cheaper, plus helps your baby run smoother.
