| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.6 Diesel | 1.6 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Hyundai i30) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Kia Ceed) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

Engines | |||
| Engine production duration: | 15 years | 19 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Kia Ceed, Kia Cerato | Installed on at least 8 other car models, including Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai i30, Hyundai Accent, Kia RIO | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Kia Ceed might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Hyundai i30 engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
| Kia Ceed 2007 1.6 engine: Overall, the engine is reliable and not very demanding on fuel quality. Fuel injectors tend to be noisy. Timing chain resource is relatively low. | |||
