Hyundai Kappa engine

The Kappa engine family on this page is two small four-cylinders: the G4LA 1.2L at 83 PS and 118 N.m, and the G4LC 1.4L at 95–100 PS and 132–134 N.m. Both are supplied New / 100% Tested.

They split cleanly by car type in the member data. The G4LA list is the city-car one: i10 (PA, AC3), Grand i10 (BA, AI3), Aura, Xcent, i20 (PB, IB, BI3) and Venue (QXi). The G4LC list reaches further up the range: Accent / Verna / Solaris, Bayon, Celesta, i20 (GB, BI3), i30 (PD), Reina, Pegas / Soluto, Rio / K2 and Stonic / KX1.

One overlap is worth flagging, because it is the kind of thing that catches people out: i20 (BI3) 2020 onwards appears on both lists. The same model and year can therefore carry either engine, and the 1.2L and the 1.4L are not interchangeable.

If your vehicle is a 1.4L or 1.6L from an earlier generation rather than a Kappa, check the Gamma I page as well — the G4FA is also a 1.4L, but it is a different family with a different output.
