Looking at the compact car with the largest sales volume at present, having a turbocharged engine and power shift is undoubtedly the "core technology" that every car company wants to master. German Volkswagen 1.4T+DSG, American GM 1.6T+6AT, Nissan 1.6T+CVT are all popular because of these core technologies. Now, the first compact Korean family car equipped with turbocharged engine and powershift comes to consumers. It's KIA K41.6t.
The core technology of Kia K4 comes from 1.6 liter turbocharged engine and 6-speed dry power shift. It is the first time that this set of power has been applied to domestic models. At present, even Beijing Hyundai models (such as Mingtu and ix25) have no such treatment. It is reported that the Kia small SUV (special area) which will be launched early next year (on the same platform as Hyundai ix25) will also be equipped with this power system, but the K3 model may not be used for the time being.
1.6T gamma series engine, with dominant torque and no picky eaters.
Kia's 1.6T engine belongs to gamma series engine, which has in-cylinder direct injection and dual variable valve timing technology. It can be said that all the popular technologies can be found in this engine. The maximum power is 129 kW and the maximum torque is 265 Nm. Compared with Yinglang GT's 1.6T (detailed quotation) or Tiida's 1.6T (detailed quotation) of the same level, the power is slightly different, but the torque is much higher. However, the fuel consumption score of 6.9L/ 100km published by the manufacturer is lower than the latter, and 93 # (Beijing Standard 92) gasoline can be used.
