This engine powers the 2023 Rio LX+ MT, LX+, LX Premium, and EX Premium models, offering a balance of power and fuel efficiency.
Stepping up, the 2.0-litre MPI engine, with a displacement of 1,999 litres, produces a higher output of 147 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 132 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm. It's the heart of models like the 2024 Forte and Soul series, providing a robust driving experience.
For those seeking more vigour, the 2.5-litre Turbo GDI engine in the 2024 K5 GT stands out. It churns out an exhilarating 290 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and a hefty 311 lb-ft of torque between 1,650 and 4,000 rpm, making it a powerhouse on the road.
Kia's hybrid engines merge efficiency with power, like the 1.6-litre Turbo GDI HEV in the 2024 Sportage HEV EX and SX models. This engine, coupled with an electric motor, provides a combined net output of 227 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. It's a perfect blend for eco-conscious drivers who don't want to compromise on performance.
The 2024 Niro HEV, with its 1.6-litre GDI HEV four-cylinder engine, takes efficiency further. It delivers a combined performance of 139 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, ideal for smooth and environmentally friendly urban driving.
