2 Answers
The engine number of Kia K3 is located below the throttle body, and it can be seen after removing the intake hose. Taking the 2021 Kia K3 as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4660mm, width 1780mm, height 1450mm, wheelbase of 2700mm, and a body weight of 1265kg. The 2021 Kia K3 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 130PS, maximum torque of 211Nm, and maximum power of 96kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving a Kia K3 for several years. The engine number is located on the cylinder block at the front of the engine, easily visible once you open the hood. If the engine cover gets dusty, just wipe it with a cloth to see clearly. I remember when I changed tires, the mechanic reminded me to note down this number—it's needed for transfers or buying insurance, otherwise, you'll waste time at the DMV. Check its location during regular maintenance; being familiar with it helps in emergency repairs. Don't confuse the engine number with the VIN—the VIN is at the lower left corner of the windshield, while this is on the metal part inside the engine bay. If you can't find it, check the vehicle registration or insurance documents for a backup record. To be safe, confirm with a professional shop.
