Hyundai 1.4 U2 CRDi
Hyundai has established itself as a carmaker that makes extremely refined cars. Particularly, Hyundai’s diesel engines have a fan following of their own for very obvious reasons. The 1.4 CRDi engine from the Korean carmaker is no exception. It delivers great performance and segment above refinement levels. Moreover, the 1.4 CRDi has marked itself as one of the most fuel-efficient engines.
The 1.4 CRDi engine from Hyundai is a 1.4-litre 4-cylinder U2 diesel engine that is made with cast iron block and aluminium cylinder head. It uses a chain-driven DOHC with 4 valves per cylinder. The engine generates 89 HP of peak power at 4000 RPM, the 220 Nm of peak torque is available at 1500-2750 RPM.
This Hyundai engine’s refinement is what has helped earn it such a good name in the car market. NVH levels are nothing short of surreal. There is virtually no vibrations whatsoever, even at idling speed while the diesel clatter is mellow enough to be covered by your AC or music system. City driving is very convenient with ample low-end torque while overtaking on highways are effortless as well with the good mid-range.
Hyundai currently sells the 1.4 U2 CRDi engine with the i20, base trims of the Verna (E and EX) and also E Plus and S trims of the Creta. The 1.4 CRDi engine returns between 22.1 km/l to 24 km/l, depending on the car and variant.
