2010 Hyundai Santa Fe, Sonata to get direct-inject four-cylinder engines
Filed under: Green, Plants/Manufacturing, Hyundai
Hyundai's Montgomery, AL factory added production of four-cylinder engines last year, but recently the engine line has been getting some upgrades. Evidently, Hyundai is getting ready to add direct injection to its 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. Like other DI engines, the revised version gets increased power along with lower fuel consumption. The DI four cylinder will debut in the refreshed 2010 Santa Fe this fall. Next year, when the completely redesigned Sonata goes into production, it will also get the DI engine.
Power from the DI four cylinder gets bumped from 176 to 200 hp, and it will likely get around 5-10% better gas mileage. The all-new Sonata will be unveiled at the LA Auto Show in November. Next year a hybrid model will join the lineup, as well.

They keep upgrading the Theta engine to better and better technology making it hard for me to justify swapping in an older version. Now there's one more to wait for. lol.
If they add DI to the Genesis Coupe (They will) the 2.0t should be good for 260-280hp.

Yeah it is, especially when you consider that they're not spinning to 9000rpm to make it happen like most the other automakers that can claim a 200hp N/A 4 cylinder.
