Kia KX7 (2017) 2.0 T-GDI 243 hp — mass-market petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Hyundai Motor Group group (Корея, 1967). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 243 to 290 hp (+47 hp, +19%) and torque from 353 to 410 Nm (+57 Nm). ECU — Siemens/Continental SIM2K-250. Flashing method: OBD or Bench depending on the unit's protection. A petrol engine built in 2017 — a Tricore platform without strong protection; OBD access works.
Kia shares platforms and engines with Hyundai and Genesis. Kia is a Korean carmaker, part of the Hyundai Motor Group. Kia is positioned alongside Hyundai, with an emphasis on styling and a sporty character. Hyundai's factory calibration is mainstream and leaves headroom for Stage 1. T-GDI is Hyundai's badge for its direct-injection turbo petrol engines. The Hyundai N-series are sporting turbo engines for the i30 N, Elantra N and Kona N.
Within Hyundai Motor Group, ECUs are partly shared, so Hyundai files often work on Kia. On older-generation Hyundais, Stage 1 goes in over OBD without Bench. The Hyundai community in Eastern Europe has a large pool of ready-made Stage files. High-output Hyundais are the N-series and Santa Fe, with solid headroom for Stage 1.
