Chip tuning for Kia Stonic (KX1) 1.2 MPI EU6 84 hp ECU
Kia Stonic (KX1) (2017) 1.2 MPI EU6 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). A petrol engine built in 2017 — a Tricore platform without strong protection; OBD access works.
Kia is positioned alongside Hyundai, with an emphasis on styling and a sporty character. The Stinger is Kia's performance saloon with a turbo V6. The EV6 is Kia's flagship electric crossover, built on the E-GMP platform. Low-output Hyundai petrol engines are naturally aspirated city units, so the gain is modest. Smartstream is Hyundai's modern engine range with an emphasis on economy. Hyundai's factory calibration is mainstream and leaves headroom for Stage 1.
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 older-generation Hyundais, Stage 1 goes in over OBD without Bench. On naturally aspirated Hyundai engines, the main effect is on throttle response. Low-output Hyundai engines are city units, and Stage 1 is safe.
