Kia G2.0 DPi specs: 2.0L (121.95 ci) 4-cylinder, 81 x 97 mm (3.1890 x 3.8189 in) bore and stroke, 10.8:1 compression. Rated 147 hp. DOHC.
The Kia G2.0 DPi 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).
10.8:1 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 13 engines in the Smartstream family, sitting between the 61.02 ci and 213.58 ci members. Factory fitments include the Kia Forte, Kia Seltos, Kia Soul.
