Almost every driver is familiar model Kia. Ceed, this car was specifically designed for operation in Europe.
Concern engineers took into account the most common wishes of Europeans.
ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Do not believe? Auto mechanic with 15 years old also did not believe, until he tried. And now it saves 35,000 rubles per year in gasoline!
As a result, it turned out a rather distinctive car, which was perfectly acquired.
Car overview
This car is produced since 2006. For the first time, the prototype was shown on the Geneva Motor Show, it happened in the spring of 2006. In the fall of the same year in Paris, they presented the final version, which became serial.
The first cars in Slovakia were produced at the plant posted in the city of Zhilin. The model was developed directly for Europe, so the production was initially planned only in Slovakia. Immediately the assembly of almost the entire line was started, the convertible was added in 2008.
Since 2007, the car is also produced in Russia. The process was established at the Avtotor plant in the Kaliningrad region.
Please note that the first generation divides with Hyundai i30 one platform. Therefore, they have identical engines, as well as gearbox. This fact sometimes confuses drivers when they are offered to buy components that are intended for Hyundai.
In 2009, the model was a little updated. But it was touched in the main salon and exterior. Therefore, within the framework of this article, we will not consider the features of restyling cars of the first generation.
Second generation
This generation Kia LED can be considered current. Cars are produced since 2012 and so far. First of all, engineers led appearance In accordance with current requirements. Thanks to this, the model began to look quite fresh and modern.
New strength units added to the line of power units. Such an approach made it possible to select a modification individually for each motorist. Also, some of the already used engines have received a turbine. Machines that have received turbocharged power units have a more sporty appearance, they have a Sport console. In addition to more powerful motor There are also completely other suspension settings and other structural elements.
A second-generation LED CIA cars are produced in the same factories as before. All also they are designed for Europeans. In general, this is a fairly high-quality C-class machine, ideally suitable for operation in the city.
What motors were installed
Since the model had a large number of modifications, respectively, they often completed different motors. This made it possible to achieve the most efficient breakdown in terms of indicators. In total, in a ruler by two generations of 7 engines, with 2 of them have a turbocharged version.
To begin with, it is worth considering the main dVS characteristicsinstalled on Kia Ceed. For convenience, we will reduce all the motors in one table.

As you can see, many engines have very similar parameters, differing only in trifles. Such an approach allows some moments to unify components, simplifying the supply of spare parts of service centers.
Almost every model of the power unit has its own characteristics. Therefore, consider them in more detail. 
G4FC.
It is widely found. It was installed on all generations, as well as restyled versions. It has sufficiently high reliability and efficiency. Thanks to the system that allows you to change the lumen of the valves during operation, the emission level is reduced. harmful substances in atmosphere.
Some parameters may vary depending on the modification. This is due to the settings of the control unit. Therefore, the same motor on different cars May have different output characteristics specified in the documentation. Average service life overhaul 300 thousand kilometers.
G4FA.
This engine was installed only on universal and hatchbacks. This is due to traction characteristics, the motor works fine under load, and such a feature of operation is characteristic of universal. Also on this unit for the first time for the model were offered gas equipmentthat reduced fuel costs.
Released since 2006. Technically, no change during this time has not undergone. But, the control unit was upgraded. In 2012, he received a completely new filling, which slightly reduced fuel consumption and improved the dynamics. According to drivers, there are no special problems of the motor, subject to timely service.
This is the only one force aggregate From the entire line, which has only a turbocharged version. It was designed for sports version Kia LED and was installed only on her. That is why the engine is not too good for domestic motorists.
You can meet it on dorestayling hatchbacks of the second generation. Starting from 2015 is placed only on restyled cars. 
It has the biggest power in the entire line, with certain settings this figure reaches 204 hp. At the same time, fuel consumed relatively bit. Economicity is achieved using a modified gas distribution mechanism.
G4fd.
This diesel can be supplied, both in atmospheric performance and installed turbine. At the same time, the supercharger is rarely found, the engine has become installed with it only since 2017 to restyled cars. Atmospheric version at Kia LED began to put in 2015, before that it could be seen on other models of this brand.
Like any diesel is distinguished by high economy. To the care of unpretentious. But it must be borne in mind that the quality of fuel affects trouble-free operation. Any contamination can lead to a pump failure or injectors. Therefore, car owners with such an aggregate are very carefully choosing refueling.
D4FB.
Diesel unit used on the first generation model. Two options were offered:
- atmospheric;
- turbo.
This motor belongs to previous generation aggregates that were developed korean manufacturer. There are a number of shortcomings. Compared to more modern engines, there is a higher level of pollution exhaust gases. Also often occurs premature refusal of the pump.
Of the advantages, you can note sufficiently easy service, no special difficulties occur even when repairing in the garage. Also, since the engine was created on the basis of the model used on other cars, there is a high interchangeability of components with other Motors of Kia.
D4EA-F.
This diesel engine with a turbine that was installed only on the first generation Kia. Ceed. At the same time, it was not put on restyled cars. You can meet only on the universal 2006-2009.
Despite the small flow, many parts and engine nodes were unreliable. Quite often faced the batteries. Also turned out to be unstable to the extension of the valve. All this led to the fact that from the motor quickly refused. He replaced more modern models Power plants.
G4GC.
A rather widespread motor, it can be found almost on all modifications of the first generation. Initially, it was designed for Hyundai Sonata, but in the future it began to install it on Ceed. In general, it began to be released since 2001.
Despite the good technical indicators by 2012, this motor is somewhat outdated. First of all, problems began to arise with the level of contamination of the exhaust. For a number of reasons, it was more profitable to abandon him completely from it than to recycle under modern requirements.
What motors are more often
The most common is the G4FC engine. It is connected with the duration of its operation. The first cars had exactly such a motor. The duration of operation is associated with successful technical solutions. 
Other motors are much less common. And in Russia there are practically no turbocharged units, this is due to the peculiarities of their operation. Also, low popularity is due to the general opinion of drivers that such motors are more voracious.
The most reliable DVS from the proposed
If we consider the engines offered for KIA LEDs in the context of reliability, then the best will definitely G4FC. Over the years of operation, this motor has received a large number. positive feedback from drivers.
Even with non-accurant operation, no problems arise. On average, the power units run no overhaul more than 300 thousand kilometers, which is now a rarity.
In Russia, the model is sold in three body configurations: three- and five-door hatchback (Kia Pro Cee'd and Kia Cee'd), as well as a wagon (Kia Cee'd SW). A wide range of motors allows you to get modifications with highly distinguishing technical specifications. The initial engine is a 1.4-liter KAPPA series of 1368 cubic. See, outstanding up to 100 hp Power and up to 134 nm of torque. The remaining engines represent the Gamma family almost in its full composition. It:
- 1.6 MPI return 129 hp (157 nm) with distributed fuel injection;
- 1.6 GDI with a capacity of 135 hp (164 Nm) with direct injection and phase change system on both timing rates. Engine pistons have special notches for better fuel injection and combustion of the mixture. The compression ratio is 11.0: 1 (the usual MPI indicator is 10.5: 1).
- 1.6 T-GDI - a turbocharged unit arched on the basis atmospheric motor 1.6 GDI with adding twin-scroll. Installation capacity - 204 hp, peak torque - 265 nm (available from 1500 rpm). After such an engine, the car received a GT console. He relies only kia Hatchbacks Ceed.
Available for machine transmission: 6-speed MCPP (for Motors 1.4 MPI, 1.6 MPI and 1.6 T-GDI), 6-range automatic transmission (1.6 MPI) and preselective "robot" 6DCT (combined with 1.6 GDI 135 hp)
In Europe, the LED Kia LED engine list is longer. It includes, for example, a 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbo engine in two options for forsing (110 and 120 hp), as well as diesel 1.6 CRDI with various settings. The newest seven-step "robot" DCT goes paired with diesel aggregate Power 136 hp
Returning to the Russian specification, we note the dynamic kIA characteristics Ceed GT with a 204-strong turbocharged "four". Such a car accelerates to 100 km / h in just 7.6 seconds, which contributes to a wide range of torque (1500-4500 rpm), reduced to 140 mm clearance (in conventional versions of 150 mm), clamping suspension.
In the plan, fuel consumption most preferably looks like "Junior" Motor 1.4 MPI, consisting in the combined cycle about 6.2 liters on the "Hundred". Versions with 1.6-liter units are burned only a little more - from 6.4 liters.
The most impressive on the size of the luggage compartment has universal Kia. Ceed SW. Before 528 liters of cargo, the backs of the front chairs are fitted with the backs of the back row, behind the backs of the front chairs with the backs of the back - to 1642 liters.

When preparing K. buying Kia. LED Many wondered what engine to choose. Really, the lineup Motors for this car offers four aggregates that differ significantly from each other. Here and the difference in the volume, the fuel injection technology, the availability of turbocharging and so on. What unit will be installed on the car, the most important characteristics will depend on:
- Dynamic;
- Fuel consumption;
- Price.
Kia Ceed GT-Line
And this is not to mention reliability, confidence driving, maintainability and cost of ownership. We will try to figure out the main techniques, strong and weaknesses Side engines and explain which one is better and for what conditions.
1.4 Mpi.
Engine 1.4 MPI was installed and continues to be installed at Kia LED, Rio, Hyundai Solaris and other similar cars. Has the designation G4FA and refers to the GAMMA series, which is used on small hyundai cars and KIA since 2007. In addition to this motor, the representative of the series is like two drops of water similar to a 1.6 liter aggregate. Has an aluminum cylinder block, chain drive Timing, MPI fuel injection technology (distributed injection). The capacity of such an aggregate is 100 hp, torque - 134.4 at 4000 rpm.
KIA 1.4 MPI engine
Kia LED with an engine 1.4 dynamics boast, of course, can't - 12 seconds to hundreds of people will be happy, considering that the target audience of Sida is young people who like to put pressure on gas. And this is with a not loaded car, if you put a couple of people there, then you're better not remember at all about the word "dynamics". But this motor has the most in the line - 6.2 liters in mixed cycle and 8.1 in the city. This is a good indicator in this class. It should be paid to the fact that in a pair with engine 1.4 offered only mechanical box Transmissions. In fairness it is worth noting that the difference in fuel consumption compared to 1.6 is not too noticeable, plus strongly depends on the driving manner, therefore it is not necessary to count on substantial savings on Side gasoline, buying 1.4 - liter modification, should not.
Power point The volume of 1.6 liters is the same motor as 1.4, differences only during the piston, in the younger model it is 75 mm, and the older 84.4. Due to this, the power of the unit amounted to 130 horse power, torque 155 at 4200 rpm. Kia LED with such motors behaves much more alive, which is felt most, on the highway during overtakers on high speeds. Here the driver will feel much more confident.
Motor KIA 1.6 MPI
In a pair with such an engine, two types of gearbox are installed: mechanics and automatic. Both boxes rarely cause negative reviews of owners, they are fairly modern and reliable. In each of them 6 gears, and it pleases, since some cyd's competitors still travel with a five-speed manual transmission and, which is even more frustrating, a four-stage automatic machine.
The possibilities of the motor is best realized allowing the MCPP, including in terms of efficiency. There will be a little more than gasoline consumption on the machine, but if the question of saving is not so acute, it is better to take it, because on this its flaws end.
1.6 GDI
Relatively recently in the Hyundai / Kia motor line in Russia appeared new aggregate With the designation of GDI and immediately caused the increased interest of motorists. 135 hp were attractive. Power, 164 NM torque and reduced fuel consumption. This becomes possible when using the technology of direct fuel injection into cylinders (GDI). It allows you to more accurately control the injection at the expense of which the uniformity and timeliness of the combustion of gasoline increases. Motors KIA with direct injection develop big power With a more uniform traction and the best responsiveness of the gas. At the same time, fuel consumption decreases (it is 6.4 liters of gasoline per hundred in a mixed cycle) and the level of emission of harmful substances. Recall that in a pair with this engine, a six-speed DCT robot works. Fuel consumption in this case matches the machine with the manual transmission.
Because of its technological, and mostly due to the cost-effectiveness and low level emissions of harmful substances motors GDI Widely distributed in Europe. The new technology itself is not called, on some mitsubishi carsFor example, it was used in the early 1990s.
1.6 GDI 135 hp
In addition to advantages motors Kia. GDIs have the disadvantages that can be explained by the slow distribution of them in the world. Such as the:
- The complexity of the design. In the technical part, they are similar to diesel engines COMMON RAIL.And this means that there must be qualified employees in the event of a malfunction to be engaged in the event of a malfunction, which on most hundred usually lacks.
- Quickness to the quality of fuel and consumables. Due to the fact that GDI provides for the use of high-precision fuel equipment, low-quality or consumables can quickly lead to a malfunction.
- High cost of repair, spare parts, consumables and maintenance, which is approaching diesel engines.

- Segment car " C.» ( by european classification ), developed by Kia Motors and manufactured since 2007. Kia LED became the first car of the Korean company, which marked his appearance a new era in the history of the brand, since it was this model that became a separate page in the development of the company and the first korean car Designed for the European market. Since then, LEDs flew around the world by millions of gravity and became a real bestseller in many markets, including in CIS. And, here's how things are with the reliability of this model and what to pay attention to, buying Kia LED with mileage, now and try to figure it out.
A bit of history:
Kia LED debut took place in 2006 at the international auto show in Paris. The design of the car was developed specifically for the European market of the German Designer Studio and received an abbreviation " ED" At the end of 2006 at a new factory Kia Motors. In Slovakia, the first serial car came down from the conveyor. For the CIS markets, the car is collected in Kaliningrad, Russia. Initially, Kia LED was produced only in the body of the hatchback, but already in 2007, the market was debuted (wagon). In 2009, restyling kia version LED. The main changes affected the radiator lattices, the design of the cabin and lighting equipment. In 2013, a presentation of the charged version took place Kia Pro_cee'd GT. and 5-door hatchback cee'd GT.. Kia LED was repeatedly the winner in the nominations " Car of the year», « Best Universal"And" Best hatchback».
The G4FC engine belonging to the Hyundai Gamma series began to serially be installed on Hyundai / Kia cars since 2007. This row gasoline four with the upper arrangement of the camshafts is made according to the classic DOHC scheme. The camshafts located in the cylinder head control the operation of 16 valves.
This is the smallest engine Hyundai.on which applied direct injection Fuel (GDI). The designed constructive solution to the injection provides comprehensive fuel savings to 5.8 l / 100 km, reducing emissions and high reliability. The manufacturer guarantees the trouble-free operation of the engine for 180,000 km, or 10 years of operation, but this refers to a new generation of motors.
Cars, with a G4FC power unit
Hyundai, in early 2000 acquired company KIAand actually completely replaced power units previously used in the production of cars of this small automotive company. Nowadays the engine at Kia Rio 1.6, and the Hyundai Solaris engine is 1.6 this one and the same power unit G4FC.
This 1.6 G4FC DOHC motor is installed on Kia Cerato (Serato), Kia Ceed, Hyundai i30, Hyundai I40, Hyundai Creta, Hyundai Santa. FE Hyundai Accent.. SpecificationsThat gives the 1.6 Gamma family engine, are quite universal and suitable for urban ride both on sedans and light crossovers. The most common use is to install this power unit for the Hyundai Solaris 1.6 package.
Depending on the type of car and the year of production, the engine has different characteristics In terms of power and torque. For example, engine Kia. Rio 1.6 of the first generation, which was mounted on cars until 2011, issued only 112 hp, and the engine of Kia LED, depending on the firmware and settings, in the same years gave 122-126 hp.
The Kia Rio engine began to issue such indicators only when installing for 3 generation of cars, starting in 2011. The power unit on Kia Ceed has also undergone changes, which made it possible to increase power up to 129 hp
Constructive solution
The device of the G4FC engine can already be attributed to the classic. The aluminum head of the cylinders in which two are installed distributive shaft and 16 valves, mounted on an aluminum block of cylinders. Cylinder glasses are made non-removable, and are not subject to overhaul. This also applies to Kia Ceed, and Solaris and Santa Fe.
The feature of the design is the drive distributional shafts From the chain transmission, which eliminates the drive break, but does not prevent the valve bending when the chain breakages. On the other hand, drive chain It has a resource commercialized with a common engine resource.
According to the weight characteristics, the Kia Rio engine resource must be maximum among all cars, based on the weight characteristics of the car, but on the fact of Hyundai Motors installed a single maximum run 180,000 km or 10 years of operation.
But, B. real conditions The resource of the engine Kia Rio, as well as other engines of this series, mounted as a power unit together with a 6-speed mechanical or 5-speed automatic boxes gears, determined by the style of driving, the frequency of execution that used consumables and other conditions, and can reach 2 and even a 3-fold value. There is a Solaris car used daily in a taxi basis with a mileage of more than 700,000 km.
The gas distribution mechanism does not contain valve gap hydraulic components. Therefore, the adjustment of the G4FC valves is performed during the process and is a mandatory technological operation.
The model of the G4FC unit, built on the basis of 1.4 liters of the G4FA engine, turned out quite successful, although not devoid of its flaws. On the basis of the two-generation 2-generation, serial Gamma II has been manufactured and produced by the same number-letter index. Hyundai i30 and I40 install G4FC Gamma II engines, developing 137 hp
That engines G4FC.
Program maintenance Engines of the same name models Kia. And Hyundai is somewhat different. The general regulation indicates the need to visit the service station every 15,000 km. This period is due to the work oil system, resistance of the oil itself and the resource of the cleansing element of the oil filter.
In addition to the main program, there is a strategy for highly loaded engines. TO heavy conditions operation refers to the engine start at temperatures below -15С at least 50 times in winter. The manufacturer of power units recommends to reduce the intersavice interval to 7,500 km of run.
For unknown reasons, the operation of Solaris is considered a corporation more loaded than, for example, Kia LED. So on solaris is required replacement air filter The engine is every 15,000 km, and on LED - 45,000 km, while salon filter Also change every 15,000.
On the other hand, the GAMMA 1.6 DVS valve adjustment at Kia Serato / Sid is performed every 75,000 km, and on solaris - 90,000 km.
On Hyundai sedans with double-walled G4FC engines, there are 8 maintenance programs up to 120,000 km, and in Kia there are 10 programs. This difference should not be misled, since the actual service is regulated by replacing the oil and filters, as well as adjusting the valves and the timing of the timing chain (180,000 km).
Operational liquids and poured volumes
DVS Hyundai Gamma is designed to operate on 92 fuel. The use of ethyl fuels is not allowed. The use of gasoline S. octane number 95 is permissible. This will lead to an increase in power, but also to increase operating temperature combustion chambers. The use of 98 fuel can lead to valve directs, especially under operating conditions with incorrectly exhibited thermal gap.
The volume of fuel poured into the tank depends on the specific car model.
Another important operational fluid Is motor oil. According to the instruction manual, the viscous characteristics of the liquid lubrication must ensure the all-season operation of the motor. The service book indicates the recommended oils with the characteristics according to the SAE - 5W30 or 5W40 standard.
The volume of oil originally fill in the engine is 3.7 liters. When replacing the lubricant in the oil system channels, a part of the lubricating fluid remains, and the fused oil volume in the engine is reduced to 3.3 liters when the filter element is replaced.
Interesting is the choice of a manufacturer of lubricating fluid. If Hyundai is recommended shell oil, then the oil for KIA LED recommended by the auto supplier is Total fluids. Again, it is for the same engines, but installed at different planes.
An explanation of such a phenomenon can be what Hyundai Motors positions its main cars higher in classity than the products of their subsidiary on the fact of KIA enterprise. This is more marketing stroke.
Maintainability and operational reliability
G4FC motor has good operational reliability. Requires regular maintenance. The detected malfunctions, such as the noise of the chain on the immentable engine or click when the valves are triggered are constructive feature. Manifestation data should not be considered a malfunction if noise disappears after heating. Otherwise, it is necessary to adjust the valves in a hundred.
Valve adjustment can be performed with your own hands, but you will need a set of adjusting spacers and certain locksmith skills. The whistle published by the engine may refer to the wear of the tensioner roller bearing.
Contaminated pistons, which sometimes put in the network as a lack of operation of the cleaning function of the oil system, more determines the degree of care for the filter element of the engine and the frequency of oil change, as well as the use motor oil improper quality.
In the sense of major repairs, the engine can be considered a disposable. It is not maintained with the exception of the plasma spraying on the surface of the cylinders, followed by a boring under the nominal size.
As a spare part, the manufacturer offers a short block, i.e. Fully assembled design with block and entire cylinder-piston group. Often car enthusiasts acquire a fully equipped engine from secondary European markets. In some cases, this is economically justified.
Possibly refinement and tuning
DVS has the ability to improve the design with a change in air supply and exhaust system, using injector fuel system GDI, the use of other camshafts, regulation of the GHM phases and so on. These revisions have already been performed in the Gamma II series.
Repair a constructive existing power unit is possible only to participate in special racing races, given that the engine resource is reduced several times. For turbocharging lovers there is a factory engine with a turbine. Nothing new in this sense is not worth using, because turbocharged engine reconfigured, has other air supply systems and exhaust, reconfigured throttle valve And another block of Esud.
With the daily operation of the car in utilitarian mode, it is enough to remove environmental limitations, which is performed by flashing software Engine control unit, and can give an additional 10-15 hp
