Kia Rio (2020) 1.2 MPI 84 hp — mass-market petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Hyundai Motor Group group (Корея, 1967). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 84 to 90 hp (+6 hp, +7%) and torque from 124 to 130 Nm (+6 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Bosch ME17.9.11.1, Bosch ME17.9.21, Bosch ME17.9.21.1. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 9 configurations · 3 ECU variants. A 2020 petrol engine — the latest era of encrypted firmware; OBD access is available on production units, Bench on sport models.
The EV6 is Kia's flagship electric crossover, built on the E-GMP platform. GT is Kia's sporty trim package. Kia shares platforms and engines with Hyundai and Genesis. Smartstream is Hyundai's modern engine range with an emphasis on economy. The Hyundai N-series are sporting turbo engines for the i30 N, Elantra N and Kona N. Hyundai's factory calibration is mainstream and leaves headroom for Stage 1.
Protection on modern Hyundai N models is tough and requires Bench. The Hyundai community in Eastern Europe has a large pool of ready-made Stage files. Within Hyundai Motor Group, ECUs are partly shared, so Hyundai files often work on Kia. On naturally aspirated Hyundai engines, the main effect is on throttle response. Low-output Hyundai engines are city units, and Stage 1 is safe.
