The CVVD, developed for the first time in the world by Hyundai, controls the valve opening time, which was not adjustable in the existing Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) or Continuously Variable Valve Lift (CVVL) technology.
The 1.6 T-GDi engine has a maximum output of 180 horsepower (ps) and a maximum torque of 265 Nm. Continuous Variable Valve Duration (CVVD) technology and low pressure exhaust gas recirculation system (Low Pressure EGR) are applied in order to perform fuel economy and emissions.
