The 1.6-liter Hyundai G4FG engine has been produced at the concern’s Chinese plant since 2010 and is installed on many popular models, such as Elantra, Creta, Rio or Solaris. This unit belongs to the Gamma II line and in fact it is an updated version of the G4FC engine.

Gamma family: G4FA, G4FL, G4FS, G4FC, G4FD, G4FG, G4FJ, G4FM, G4FP, G4FT, G4FU.

In 2010, the engines of the Gamma II family debuted on the fifth generation of the Elantra model, and the first of them was a power unit with distributed fuel injection under the G4FG index. This motor was essentially an updated version of the G4FC and differed from it by the presence of a second phase regulator at the outlet and the design of the oil pump, it is built into the front cover. There is also a new intake manifold equipped with a VIS geometry change system. Otherwise, this is the same engine with an aluminum block, thin-walled cast-iron sleeves, an open cooling jacket, a 16-valve head without hydraulic lifters, and a timing chain.

During the production process, this engine was repeatedly upgraded and the main innovation was the appearance in 2014 of a reliable bush-roller timing chain instead of a lamellar one.
