Description
The DOHC 1.4Â L (1399Â cc)Â G4EEÂ Alpha IIÂ debuted in the 2005 European Kia Rio JB, but wasn’t available in North America. It utilized the 75.5Â mm bore of the original 1.5Â L engine, but was destroked to 78.1Â mm. Other design improvements of the 1.6Â LÂ G4EDÂ carried over to the 1.4Â LÂ G4EE, except for CVVT. The engine was noted for its smoother, freer revving nature as compared to the larger 1.6Â L due to its squarer bore:stroke dimensions. It also produced slightly improved fuel consumption at the expense of overall power output.
Power output is rated 95Â PS (70Â kW; 94Â hp) at 6,000Â rpm and 12.7Â kgâ‹…m (125Â Nâ‹…m; 92Â lbâ‹…ft) at 4,700Â rpm.
