R Series 2.2L CRDi Turbo Diesel Engine

World-class Kia engineering

The R2.2 litre unit outperforms most I4 and V6 units from rival brands while complying with Euro4 emissions standards.

This engine minimizes carbon dioxide emissions and is as fuel efficient as ever. the enhanced power translates into better acceleration capable of handling the Sorento's larger demands without the perceived emissions.

Advanced powertrain for powerful performance

As a result of it's lighter weight, low compression ratio and advanced Piezo injector, this enhanced engine offers higher fuel injection equipment pressure (1600-1800bar), larger output, and better fuel economy.

3rd Generation Common Rail Direct Injection System

This system provides optimized control of the amount and timing of fuel injection through the ECU into the combustion chambers based on engine and driving conditions, minimizing emission of exhaust gas, and resulting in high power output and less noise for an eco-friendly engine.

Special Features

The combination of the high-pressure pump, injector and common rail mechanism allows Sorento drivers to enjoy the power of a gasoline engine with the added benefits of the more fuel-efficient diesel engine.

High Pressure Pump

Improved stability as high-pressure fuel is delivered to the engine.

Injector

Optimizes combustion by operating the injector, not solenoid, for accurate control of injected volume and timing.
