Hyundai G4NA specs: 2.0L (122 ci) 4-cylinder, 81 x 97 mm (3.1890 x 3.8189 in) bore and stroke, 10.3:1 compression. Rated 147 hp. Rod ratio and piston speed.

The Hyundai G4NA is undersquare — the 3.8189" stroke exceeds the 3.189" bore by 16.5% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.8189" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,300 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 30.5 ci (500 cc).

10.3:1 on aluminum heads is in the range that usually runs on pump premium; aluminum sheds heat faster than iron, which makes the same number a little more forgiving.

It is one of 2 engines in the Nu family, the largest at 122 ci. Factory fitments include the Elantra, Tucson, Kona.
