Hyundai A engine

The Hyundai A engine, also known by its engine code D4CB, is a 2.5 litre four-cylinder diesel engine built for road vehicles by Hyundai Motor Group and in production from 2002 up to the present. It is described as one of the first diesel engines designed and developed solely by Hyundai, without a licence from another car maker. The engine has a compacted graphite iron block, an aluminium cylinder head, chain-driven double overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, with Bosch second-generation common rail direct injection through piezoelectric injectors. The first series, the A I, was produced from 2002 to 2006 with a conventional turbocharger, while the A II, made since 2007, added a variable geometry turbocharger or in some markets a wastegate and later a standard particulate filter to meet Euro 5 rules. It powered the Hyundai Starex, Hyundai Porter, Hyundai H350, Kia Sorento and Kia Bongo.
