Hyundai G4KR specs: 2.5L (152.6 ci) 4-cylinder, 88.5 x 101.5 mm (3.4843 x 3.9961 in) bore and stroke, 10.5:1 compression. Rated 290 hp. DOHC.
The Hyundai G4KR 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 38.2 ci (625 cc).
10.5:1 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 5 engines in the Smartstream family, sitting between the 152.4 ci and 212.2 ci members. Factory fitments include the Hyundai Sonata N Line, Hyundai Santa Fe, Genesis GV70 and 1 other.
