GT is Kia's sporty trim package. Kia shares platforms and engines with Hyundai and Genesis. Kia is a Korean carmaker, part of the Hyundai Motor Group. The Hyundai N-series are sporting turbo engines for the i30 N, Elantra N and Kona N. High-output Hyundai N turbo petrol engines deliver a solid gain with Stage 1. Smartstream is Hyundai's modern engine range with an emphasis on economy.
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.
