Hyundai G4KN specs: 2.5L (152.4 ci) 4-cylinder, 88.5 x 101.5 mm (3.4843 x 3.9961 in) bore and stroke, 13:1 compression. Rated 191 hp. DOHC.
The Hyundai G4KN is undersquare — the 3.9961" stroke exceeds the 3.4843" bore by 12.8% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.9961" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,000 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 38.1 ci (624 cc).
13:1 on aluminum heads is high for a production gasoline engine; running a ratio like that on pump fuel depends on chamber design and fuel delivery rather than the number alone.
It is one of 5 engines in the Smartstream family, the smallest at 152.4 ci. Factory fitments include the Sonata, Santa Fe, Tucson and 1 other.
