Automotive applications

3 Cylinder

R 315 SOHC I3, with a single overhead camshaft, four valves-per-cylinder, and common-rail direct fuel injection.

This engine was designed in 1998 with the related 4-cylinder variant R 420 SOHC. In 1999, VM granted Hyundai the license to manufacture both engines. Under terms of the agreement, Hyundai was able to manufacture the engines only to power its vehicles, while VM was free to grant other license agreements also in Korea, as happened in 2004 with GM Daewoo.

Further evolutions were named RA 315 (Euro 4 compliant, up to ) and A 315 (Euro 5 compliant, up to ).

Applications:

Hyundai Accent (power: ; torque: ) Hyundai Matrix (power: ; torque: ) Hyundai Getz (power: ; torque: )

HR 392 SOHC bore and stroke, straight-three engine, of an OHV pushrod design with two valves per cylinder. The block was cast iron, with an alloy head.
