Engine Kia Rio 1.6 has 4 cylinders and a 16-valve timing mechanism with a chain drive. The Kia Rio 1.6 engine power is 123 hp. In terms of design, the 1591 cm3 engine differs from its brother, the Kia Rio 1.4 liter engine only in the increased piston stroke. That is, the crankshafts of the engines are different, although the pistons, valves, camshafts and other parts are the same.

Power unit Gamma 1.6 liter replaced the Alpha series engines in 2010. The design of obsolete engines was based on cast iron block, 16-valve mechanism with hydraulic compensators and a belt drive. The new Kia Rio Gamma engines have an aluminum block, consisting of the block itself and a cast pastel for the crankshaft, see the photo below. The new Rio engine does not have hydraulic compensators. Valve adjustment is usually carried out after 90,000 kilometers, or if necessary, in case of increased noise, from under valve cover. The procedure for adjusting the valves involves replacing the pushrods that sit between the valves and the camshaft cams. The process itself is difficult and expensive. The chain drive is very reliable if you keep an eye on the oil level. But the manufacturer recommends replacing the chain, tensioners and dampers after 180 thousand miles. This usually includes the replacement of sprockets, which is generally not cheap.

When purchasing Kio Rio with high mileage engine, take these facts into account. Extra noise and knocks from under the hood should seriously alert you. After all, if something happens, you will have to rebuild the engine later. The Kia Rio engine is assembled exclusively in China at the Beijing Hyundai Motor Co. factory. Therefore, choose carefully even new car so that later you don’t have to adjust the valves under warranty by replacing the pushers.

The big disadvantage of the almost entirely aluminum Kia Rio 1.6 liter engine is oil consumption. If it starts to burn, don’t be lazy to check the level more often and add oil if necessary. Oil starvation is fatal for this engine. Increased noise is usually a sign that the oil level is low. You can't drive for that long.

If you feel unstable work motor, this may cause the chain to pull out. To put your mind at ease, you can see if the marks on the crankshaft pulley and the camshaft sprockets match. Photo below.

The timing marks of the Rio 1.6 engine in the photo are top dead point for the first cylinder (TDC). We decided to replace the timing chain ourselves, then this image will be very useful to you.

The fairly good power of the 1.6-liter engine, which is branded G4FC, is determined not only by the 16-valve overhead camshaft (DOHC) mechanism, but also by the presence of a variable valve timing system. Is it true actuating mechanism the system is installed only on the intake camshaft. Today there are more efficient engines Gamma 1.6, which have a variable phase system on two shafts, plus direct fuel injection, but these engines are not supplied to Russia for the Kia Rio. Next more detailed characteristics Rio 1.6 liter engine.

Kia Rio 1.6 engine, fuel consumption, dynamics

• Working volume – 1591 cm3
• Number of cylinders/valves – 4/16
• Cylinder diameter – 77 mm
• Piston stroke – 85.4 mm
• Power hp – 123 at 6300 rpm
• Torque – 155 Nm at 4200 rpm
• Compression ratio – 11
• Timing drive - chain
• Maximum speed – 190 kilometers per hour (with automatic transmission 185 km/h)
• Acceleration to the first hundred - 10.3 seconds (with automatic transmission 11.2 seconds)
• Fuel consumption in the city – 7.6 liters (with automatic transmission 8.5 liters)
• Fuel consumption in mixed cycle– 5.9 liters (with automatic transmission 7.2 liters)
• Fuel consumption on the highway – 4.9 liters (with automatic transmission 6.4 liters)

It is worth noting that in the new generation of Kia Rio 2015 with a 1.6 engine, only a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission is installed. The smaller 1.4-liter power unit is combined with an outdated 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-speed automatic transmission. Judging by the numerous customer reviews of the Kia Rio 1.6 real consumption more fuel, especially in urban mode.

Today, few people argue that the Korean auto company that produces cars “ Kia", is very popular and recognizable among car enthusiasts. And is it surprising if it mainly implements budget cars? Although for most Russians the prices are sky-high. However, Korean models are bought, and this is a fact.

They especially adore " Rio" There is nothing strange here either, because it is equipped with perhaps the most popular and beloved 1.6 liter engine. This volume is valued for good reason; it is the most popular, and therefore, as a rule, good reviews are left about it. Such a power unit has excellent and special qualities, but has its own resource And technical specifications, you can’t do without minuses. This is what we will devote this article to.

Why is the Kia Rio 1.6 liter engine so good?

We suggest starting with the good. The unit is assembled in such a way that it consumes fuel economically - 6 liters on average. Of course, with reasonable machine control and filling quality gasoline. It is impossible to refute the fact that the engine is designed as it should be, and its parts are mated without unnecessary gaps. And it’s not made from any material. Plus: specialists Kia The control unit in this car was correctly configured. Here engine photo:

This engine is spoken of as the main component of a car that works optimally. Why? He distributes his technical forces so that the power is enough not only for a monotonous ride on city streets, but even for the most masterly overtaking. And in general, the model of the “hero of our article” - the Rio engine, is the most dynamic among its “brothers”. Everyone already knows that a machine can accelerate to 100 km for a little more ten seconds. Maybe someone will be indignant, but the company itself stated this.

Why some people don’t like the Kia Rio 1.6 engine: reviews

When publishing an article excerpt about the disadvantages of the Korean unit, we immediately note that although they exist, they are technical indicators have no impact, much less on engine life. By the way, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, it is 300,000 km. Manufacturers consider this figure to be the norm, of course. But adequate and experienced driver will never agree. Here is the first drawback that people often mention in their reviews. In fact, it is often written that there are few shortcomings here, but paying attention to the opinions of people who have already used the Rio car, one will inevitably feel the desire to write about them.

It is noteworthy that there are motor components that cannot be disassembled at all. It is clear that this is just a beneficial feature for the manufacturer, but it is not easier for drivers. For this reason, the Kia Rio engine can be safely classified as non-repairable, because the breakdown will not be repaired by an individual part, but by the entire assembly structure. We are talking, for example, about 2 such important systems as gas distribution and ignition. This is the second minus. And many breakdowns will be ignored altogether and they will say that they cannot be repaired. These are not our words, they say so Rio owners. Especially often they are sent home when boring of sleeves is required, but they are thin-walled here, and boring is impossible.

By the way, the sector for the engine is limited, and getting something specific is not so easy; sometimes additional analysis is needed. Here is the third item on the list of shortcomings. We can also name a fourth disadvantage: the cylinder block includes an aluminum head, and this can lead to serious damage if the engine overheats. There's talk about violations of compression and compression ratio.

What conclusion can we draw about the Rio engine?

Definitely Kia Rio 1.6 liter engine deserves attention, since he shows more in action good qualities. You cannot categorically note only the disadvantages, because the unit of any car also has them. You should also rely on the general opinion about the motor of this model, because it belongs to the segment of modern and improved power devices.

Very often I have to read questions - “tell me about Hyundai engines Solaris and KIA RIO, whether they are reliable or not, how long they last (resource), what problems there are, pros and cons, etc.” After all, these Korean cars are among the best-selling and there is a lot of interest in them. I haven’t recorded this video for a long time (I thought everything had already been said before me in hundreds of videos and articles), but readers want my opinion, so I decided to write it today. As usual there will be a video version at the end...

It is worth noting that these power units are also found on most other Korean cars higher class, such as KIA CEED and CERATO, as well as Hyundai Elantra, I30 and CRETA. They are also common in Russia, and therefore the information will be of interest to their owners.

For the impatient, I would like to say one thing - THESE ENGINES ARE RELIABLE AS A HAMMER, THERE ARE SIMPLY NO COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THEM NOW. Feel free to take it.

But for those who want to learn more about the engines of these Korean units, read on.

What motors are installed?

Let's start with old cars (2010 - 2016 years of production), only two power units were installed on them, generations GAMMA 1.4 liters (107 hp) and 1.6 liters (123 hp)

On this moment(since 2017), both Solaris and RIO have two engine options - these are the so-called KAPPA (volume 1.4 liters - 100 hp) and GAMMAII (1.6 liters - 123 hp) .

The KAPPA generation began to be installed on “poor” versions of the new generation of cars only in 2017; in high trim levels there is a modified GAMMAII engine (unspoken name)

EngineGAMMA (G4FA andG4FC)

Perhaps I’ll start with a description of these engines, as well as with the structural features (the analysis will be very detailed, so stock up on tea):

Where is it produced: The plant is located in China (Beijing Hyundai Motor Co). There is often a very biased attitude towards this country, that “they say” everything is of poor quality and so on. However, do not confuse underground and factory production (this is a huge difference). And so for a moment IPHONE is also made in the Middle Kingdom.

Fuel supply system, recommended gasoline and compression ratio : Injector, distributed injection(MPI). I think this is a plus, because this system is very simple, the nozzles do not have contact with the combustion chambers (like a direct GDI injection), here they are built into intake manifold. They are cheaper, the pressure is lower (there is no analogue to the injection pump), and you can clean them yourself. In general, I advise you to read it, everything in it is simple and straightforward. You can fill it with gasoline and it works great (this is another plus).

– 10.5. Engine block

: I won’t spend a long time debugging it now - YES IT’S ALUMINUM with thin-walled dry cast iron sleeves (they are poured in at the time of production). How many people “shout” (on various forums) that the power unit is disposable and that “they say” it’s driven for 180,000 km and throws it all away (a little later). However, as practice shows, these motors can be easily repaired. There are a bunch of videos on the Internet where these old worn-out liners are thrown out and new ones are put in their place (and then the piston liner, etc.). So Russian masters can do a lot - THIS IS A FACT! Cylinders, pistons, crankshaft: 4 pieces in a row, lightweight oil scraper pistons and compression rings of normal sizes (although they could have been thicker). Crankshaft

and its liners do not cause any complaints, they last a very long time (this unit is not a problematic link) Timing system : ON SOLARIS - RIO engine, two are installed camshaft

, 4 valves per cylinder (that is, 16 valves).

– NO, only pushers are installed. It stands, with a hydraulic chain tensioner. There is one, located on the intake shaft. : Intake – plastic, with a variable intake geometry system (VIS). Graduation – stainless steel. In fact, everything is very simple. Oil: Replacement is allowed once every 15,000 km; synthetic 5W30, 5W40 is recommended. Volume approximately 3.3 liters.

Working temperature – 90 degrees Celsius

Resource declared by the manufacturer : about 200,000 km. G4 The difference between 1.4 and 1.6 liter engines : The weak version bears the abbreviation G4 FA (1.4L-107) , the older version is known as FC (1.6l-123) the piston stroke is 85.4mm, and the weak one is 75mm (different crankshaft). Thus, “1.6” simply sucks in a larger volume of fuel - EVERYTHING ELSE IS WITHOUT CHANGES (it will be very detailed in the video version).

DifferenceGAMMA andGAMMAII (G4FG)

As I wrote above, the generation of GAMMA engines was installed not only on HYUNDAI SOLARIS and KIA RIO, but also on CEED, CERATO, ELANTRA, I30 and, say, CRETA. But if on SOLARIS (RIO) the power was 123 hp, then let’s say on various SIDs, ELANTRAs and other C-classes it was 128-130 hp. Why is that?

IT'S SIMPLE:

Behind the scenes there is such a difference as GAMMA and GAMMAII motors:

GAMMA - these are power units with one phase shifter at the inlet, volumes of 1.4 liters (code designation G4FA) and 1.6 liters ( G4FC).

GAMMAII – until 2016, they were installed only on CEED, i30, CERATO, ELANTRA, etc. (power varied from 128 to 130 hp). Since 2017, they have also been installed on SOLARIS, RIO and CRETA (power is artificially reduced to 123 hp). The only difference is that they have two phase shifters on both shafts, the volume is 1.6 liters (code designation G4FG). Otherwise the design is identical

The bottom line is that since 2017, the engines on SOLARIS and RIO have become different (as on ELANTRA, SID and others), both 1.4 and 1.6 liters. It may not be critical, but they are different.

Pros, cons and resource

I’ll probably start with the resource - this is exactly what it will be first plus . The manufacturer gives about 200,000 km, but now there are cars since 2010 that have already covered 500 - 600,000 km and you know, the engines work, no matter what (no matter how much they are scolded).

The units are truly trouble-free. , and often do not run on the best 92 gasoline. It is worth noting the convenient location, everything can be reached and easily replaced (candles, air filter), inlet and an exhaust manifold ah, engine mounts. Short inlet, and this is not unimportant (the shorter it is, the less pumping losses due to suction). Also, there is not such a large volume of plastic as in many now modern engines. The main thing is to maintain it on time (I still recommend you change the oil every 10,000 km), use high-quality synthetics (there is still a phase shifter and a chain tensioner), and fill in 95 gasoline.

By cons (although these are not cons, but my recommendations). Noisy operation fuel injectors– not fatal, but a fact (it doesn’t seem like the chatter of a chain). There are no hydraulic compensators (there are ordinary pushers) they need to be changed (by selecting new ones according to height) approximately once every 100,000 km. It is also advisable to replace the chain mechanism, and the timing chain itself, up to 150,000 km. Sometimes it happens (it can simply crumble), crumbs from it get into the cylinders and can very quickly kill the engine. The problem is not widespread, but it happens, as dealers assure from low quality fuel, so refuel at normal gas stations

If we sum up the G4FA or G4FC, G4FG motor - then they really now have large resource. As one mechanic told me, “reliable as a hammer and that not all Japanese walk like that now.” THIS IS WHY many taxi companies love them so much.

EngineKAPPA 1.4MPI (G4LC)

In my opinion, this is a continuation of GAMMA motors, but KAPPA also has its own tricks. Code name G4 L.C. . Before installation on Solaris and RIO, this engine was installed on HYUNDAI i30 and KIA CEED.

Power : The very first thing worth noting is its quantity Horse power– 99.7 hp (in the nomenclature it is written that 100 hp). This was done specifically for tax purposes, because in early versions of the CEED and i30 such engines developed approximately 109 hp. So after the purchase you can restore justice with the factory firmware () from Korea

Where does it gather? : According to the latest information, they are supplied directly from Korea (there is no talk about China).

Fuel supply system, gasoline, compression ratio: Here, multiport fuel injection (MPI) injectors are installed in a plastic intake manifold. Gasoline no less than 92. Compression ratio 10.5

Engine block: Aluminum with dry cast iron sleeves. Essentially the design is similar to GAMMA, but the KAPPA block is lighter by 14 kilograms compared to its predecessor! This causes concern, the motors are already “thin”, and here 14 kg have been removed from somewhere.

: I won’t spend a long time debugging it now - YES IT’S ALUMINUM with thin-walled dry cast iron sleeves (they are poured in at the time of production). How many people “shout” (on various forums) that the power unit is disposable and that “they say” it’s driven for 180,000 km and throws it all away (a little later). However, as practice shows, these motors can be easily repaired. There are a bunch of videos on the Internet where these old worn-out liners are thrown out and new ones are put in their place (and then the piston liner, etc.). So Russian masters can do a lot - THIS IS A FACT! 4 – cylinder, arranged in a row. The pistons are even more lightweight than their predecessor. HOWEVER, as the manufacturer assures, they cost piston cooling nozzles – THIS IS REALLY A PLUS. The connecting rods are thinner, but they are longer. The crankshaft is similar to G4FA and G4FC, but according to my data the journals are slightly narrower. Again, relief in everything is not very good.

Timing system: 16 valves (4 per cylinder). Again, there are no hydraulic compensators, there are ordinary pushers. BUT there are two phase shifters on the intake and exhaust shafts (D-CVVT). There is a plate toothed chain.

Intake and exhaust manifold : As usual, the intake is made of plastic, with a variable intake geometry system (VIS). The outlet is made of stainless steel, with a catalyst built into it.

Lubrication: You need to fill in synthetic 5W30 or 5W40, replacement is allowed after 15,000 km (volume is also about 3.3 liters). Operates at a temperature of -90 degrees Celsius.

Manufacturer resource – about 200,000 km.

Advantages and disadvantagesKAPPA

If we compare the G4LC and G4FA (1.4 liters), then the KAPPA generation maximum power is achieved already at 6000 rpm. Whereas GAMMA at 6300 rpm. We achieved this with a longer piston stroke:

GAMMA1.4 , stroke-75mm, diameter-77mm

KAPPA1.4 , stroke-84mm, diameter-72mm. That is, he is smaller, but he walks more.

Another plus is good fuel economy (up to 0.2-0.3 liters per 100 km, if compared with the opponent) and the elasticity of the engine; it also has two phase shifters. Well, reducing weight by 14 kg also gives advantages in acceleration and fuel consumption.

Here, in most cases, there are also metal throttles and thermostats, and there is cooling of the cylinders with injectors. With proper maintenance (change the oil every 10,000 km and pour good oil), they last more than 250,000 km (this has been proven by the operation of the i30 and CEED). By the way, they are now installing it on RIO X-Line

The disadvantages are the LIGHTENING of everything and everyone, especially the block, connecting rods, pistons (by 14 kg). Of course "" is also possible ( folk craftsmen), but will be more accurate and complex. Again, the injectors are noisy, this is just a design specificity. We change the pushers every 100,000 km and the chain mechanism every 150,000 km (although this is not that expensive by modern standards). Just like on many modern cars, there may be problems with scuffing from the catalyst (but this is not a complaint about this power unit).

The engine also turned out to be successful, and picks up much faster than the opponent, runs easily up to 250,000 km and has virtually no problems with proper care.

Now we are watching the video version of the article, I think it will be interesting.

To summarize, we can say that any engine with a volume of 1.4 or 1.6 liters HYUNDAI cars Solaris, Elantra, i30, Creta, as well as on KIA RIO, RIO X-line, CEED, Cerato - RUN WITHOUT PROBLEMS, often just huge mileages of 500 - 600,000 km. TAKE IT, DON'T BE AFRAID.

Kia Sid engine 1.6 liters G4FC has become one of the most popular in our country. Atmospheric unit can be found on other Korean models. For example, the engine was installed on the Hyundai Solaris or Kia Rio. The engine turned out to be extremely successful and reliable. At the power Kia unit Ceed has a huge number of modifications of different power.

In Russia you can meet several generations and Kia facelifts Ceed 1.6. True essential constructive changes This did not happen with a naturally aspirated gasoline engine. Inline 4-cylinder 16 valve motor with a chain drive and a CVVT variable valve timing system, it was modernized several times.

Kia Sid engine 1.6 liters

An engine from the Gamma series with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 122 appeared on the first Kia generation Ceed. It is based on an aluminum cylinder block. The motor does not have hydraulic compensators. Quite reliable chain drive. Initially, the LED was equipped with a motor with a phase shifter only on the intake shaft. But on the new generation a version appeared Gamma engine II, where the phase change system is already on both camshafts. This made it possible to increase power to 130 hp. and make the exhaust more environmentally friendly, which is very useful against the backdrop of constantly tightening standards. At the same time, another modification of the same engine was brought to the market, but with GDI direct fuel injection, which already develops 135 hp.
