Automotive Engines

The Hyundai Theta is a family of four-cylinder petrol engines, the third all-aluminium engine design from Hyundai Motor Company, which debuted in the fourth-generation Sonata sedan (NF) unveiled in South Korea in August 2004. It grew out of the Global Engine Alliance, a joint venture between Chrysler, Mitsubishi Motors and Hyundai to develop shared four-cylinder engines; in 2009 Chrysler bought out the other two partners' stakes, although each company kept the right to build the engines. The first generation came in 1.8, 2.0 and 2.4 litre sizes. Theta II added exhaust-side variable valve timing and brought GDI, turbocharged, hybrid and LPG versions. The Theta II GDI engines later became the subject of NHTSA investigations and recalls covering hundreds of thousands of vehicles.
