Fista's engine is domestically produced. This car is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine. Below is more information about Fista's two engines: 1. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 103kw, a maximum torque of 242 Nm, a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 1500 to 3200 rpm. This engine is equipped with direct injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 2. The 1.6-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 150kw, a maximum torque of 265 Nm, a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 1500 to 4500 rpm. This engine is equipped with direct injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.

I've been following the Hyundai Lafesta for a long time. This car uses Hyundai's own engine technology, with R&D and design done in South Korea. However, since Beijing Hyundai produces this model domestically, the engine assembly is actually completed at the Beijing Hyundai factory. I chatted with technicians during maintenance before - while core components of the localized Gamma series 1.6T engine are still imported from Korea, the domestic production line has high automation levels and strict quality control. I had concerns about domestic production quality before purchasing, but after driving it for over a year, it delivers quick acceleration response, reasonable fuel consumption, and has had no issues. Joint venture automakers' localized production is now quite mature, achieving both cost savings and maintained technical standards.

I've been repairing cars for over a decade and have disassembled numerous Fista engines. The Beijing Hyundai factory in Cangzhou, Hebei is responsible for engine assembly. Basic components like cylinder blocks are domestically produced, while precision parts such as turbochargers and ECUs are still imported from South Korea. The design blueprints and technical specifications are provided by Hyundai's Namyang Research Institute, and the production line uses complete Korean equipment. Nowadays, domestically produced engines have improved significantly compared to earlier years. Last year, I worked on a Fista with 80,000 kilometers on it. Upon disassembling the engine, I found that the piston ring wear was even less than that of imported cars, indicating that domestic manufacturing processes fully meet standards. When buying a car, there's no need to blindly trust fully imported models—the key is to look at quality control.

Studying the Chinese automotive industry reveals that the Fista engine is particularly representative. Hyundai of South Korea transferred technology to Beijing Hyundai, but the engine production has largely been localized. During my inspection at the Cangzhou factory, I observed that all welding robots on the production line were imported from South Korea, while Chinese workers were responsible for assembly and debugging. This model is actually widely used by many joint venture brands: designs are sourced from the parent company, core components are imported, and ordinary parts are procured locally. The 1.6T engine in the Fista had its ECU parameters adjusted domestically to better suit Chinese fuel quality. In the era of globalized production, the concept of origin has long been redefined.
