Used on: Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai i20, Hyundai i30, Hyundai Solaris, Kia Carens/Rondo, Kia Ceed, Kia Cerato, Kia Rio

The 1.6-liter Hyundai G4FC engine has been assembled at the concern’s plant in China since 2006 and is installed on many of the company’s mid-size models, such as the Ceed, i20, i30 and Soul.

It offers a balance of performance and fuel efficiency, making it a popular choice for compact and mid-sized vehicles. 

Since 2009, the Gamma family of engines began the transition to more stringent Euro 5 and a huge ram’s horn exhaust manifold gave way to a small catalytic converter. After that, problems began with scuffing due to the ingress of catalyst crumbs into the cylinders.
