Where is the g4na engine produced?
2 Answers
g4na engine is an engine produced by Hyundai and Kia, belonging to the Korean brand. However, the g4na engines currently on the market have been localized in production, mainly installed in the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Sonata. The g4na engine is a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 160 hp, a maximum power of 118 kW, and a maximum torque of 193 N·m. The specific parameters of the g4na engine are as follows: 1. It adopts the relatively reliable D-CVVT technology, combined with multi-point fuel injection. Although compared to some German or Japanese engines on the market, the g4na's data is not very impressive, its fuel economy is still quite outstanding. 2. The Hyundai ix35 equipped with the g4na engine has a fuel consumption of only 8L/100km. Although the g4na's fuel economy is relatively good, due to design issues, the g4na is prone to cylinder scoring. Therefore, Kia and Hyundai vehicles equipped with the g4na engine are now being recalled. The specific situation still needs to be officially tested and feedback provided.
I'm very familiar with this G4NA engine - I've disassembled and repaired quite a few during my years running an auto repair shop. It's Hyundai-Kia Group's mainstream 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, designed and developed in Korea. However, most vehicles on the road today use domestically produced versions from Beijing Hyundai and Dongfeng Yueda Kia, manufactured at Beijing Shunyi Plant and Yancheng Plant 3. If you see Korean labels in the engine bay of older imported Santa Fe or Sorento models, those are the original imported versions. Actually, the parts compatibility between domestic and imported versions is very high - just don't let repair shops fool you into thinking imported versions require special spark plugs.
