jbond830 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Fiat 1.3 MJD is so much in the news. Almost all manufacturers have fitted them in their cars, except manufacturers like Hyundai who have their own R&D. The hyundai engine has more displacement and would not be fair to compare value by value. But how about a relative comparison? Which is better engineered? The Hyundai's 1.5 crdi engine isnt lagging a lot. Its has the same Flat torque curve, good mileage and awesome torque and bhp. I would say its a tough fight between these two. How do you feel? Mileage figures city/highway: Hyundai Getz 1.5 crdi - 12.5/18 km/l Swift Vdi - 14/19 km/l Engine Hyundai Getz Prime 1.5 GVS CRDi Maruti Suzuki Swift VDi (Diesel) Engine Type/Model 1.5L 4-Cylinder DOHC Diesel 1.3L, DOHC, DDiS Diesel Displacement (cc) 1493 1248 Power (PS@rpm) 110@4000 75@4000 Torque (Nm@rpm) 235@1900 190@2000 Valve Mechanism DOHC DOHC Bore (mm) 75 69.6 Stroke (mm) 87 82 Compression Ratio 17.8 17.6 No of Cylinders (cylinder) 4 4 Cylinder Configuration In-line Inline Valves per Cylender (valve) 4 4 Ignition Type Engine Block Material Cast Iron Block Head Material Aluminium Alloy Fuel Type Diesel Diesel Fuel System CRDi Common rail multi injection @ 1400 bar jbond8302009-02-15 10:12:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trojan_virus Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Fiat is still better if u consider the life of the engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy cat Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 It is to be Fiat 1.3 mjd for me. It still enjoys better driveability, fuel efficiency, reliability and probably more durable than Hyundai's plant, which is good on power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durango Dude Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Got to hand it to Hyundai, they came out with CRDI when only the other car was a 35 lakh Merc E Class with common rail tech. They brought out their CRDI powered Accent at some 7 lakh. That was great value and real performer. Though Fiat invented it; it was Hyundai that gave Indian's the first taste of Common rail tech at an affordable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy cat Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 @DD, the Accent CRDi had many reliability problems. And also now Hyundai(Getz/Verna) is not affordable too, it is Fiat(Palio/Linea and Swift/Dzire with same engine) that is affordable or comes with more features. If they give first taste doesn't necessarily mean they are best. If that is the case, Fiat group are the first one to give the common rail taste to the world. Fiat has boldly stated that Linea is designed to run 250k kms without requiring any engine work with 15k oil change and service interval. Will Hyundai bet on its engine's durability? I'm just stating my views on your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durango Dude Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hyundai unveils latest generation R-Diesel engine Hyundai Motor Company has released details of its brand new R-Engine Diesel powerplant on the occasion of the 8th Advanced Diesel Engine Technology Symposium held at the company's Namyang R&D Centre. With a power output of 135 kW and 392 Nm of torque, the 2.0 litre version of the R-Engine outperforms any competitive offering (147 kW and 436 Nm are delivered by the 2.2 litre version). The R-Engine will enter production next year and will see its first application on the 2010 Tucson and Sonata models. "R proves Hyundai's Diesel development capabilities really are world-class. With Diesels becoming cleaner and more fuel efficient all the time, there's a growing demand for Diesel powerplants worldwide and Hyundai is well positioned to supply the market with the very best Diesel technology," said Dr. Hyun-Soon Lee, president of the Corporate Research and Development Division. The R-Engine benefits from the third generation common rail system developed by Bosch whose piezo-electric injectors deliver fuel at 1800 bar for an unprecedented degree of accuracy and control.It also features an electronic variable geometry turbocharger and an advanced engine control unit (air system-based charge control). Developed by a 150 member team at an investment cost of 250 billion Won (AUD$285 million*), the R-Engine harnesses Hyundai's newest and most advanced development tools. Computational flow dynamics, structural and thermal analysis were used to optimise its design while computerised simulation of the die-casting process was employed to achieve the optimal balance of strength and low weight. Over 500 prototype engines were built during the 42 month long development period which encompassed a wide variety of performance and emissions tests, endurance as well as NVH, cooling and lubrication studies. Finally, the engine was installed in vehicles and subjected to exhaustive testing under all imaginable environmental conditions. Available in 2.0 and 2.2 litre displacements, the all-aluminium R-Engine is fitted with a 16 valve dual overhead camshaft which is driven by an internal steel silent timing chain. For reduced vibration and lower booming noise, the R gets a lower balancer shaft which has been encased in stiffened ladder frame housing for increased rigidity. Weight saving features include serpentine belt with isolation pulley, a plastic head cover, plastic intake manifold and plastic oil filter housing. To achieve Euro 5 emission compliancy, the R is fitted with a close-coupled Diesel particulate filter plus highly efficient exhaust gas recirculation with by-pass valve. The R-Engine brings Hyundai's Diesel engine family fully up-to-date as it joins the U-Engine (1.1 litre, 1.4 litre and 1.6 litre), the A-Engine (2.5 litre) and S-Engine (3.0 litre V6).

It's just a matter of time when it get's recognized for it. Honda has been around for soo long and where is it's diesel engine tech...it's limited to it's 2.2 l, only, where as Hyundai a late entrant has a full range of diesel engine's for all it's vehicle's.Durango Dude2009-02-15 13:03:53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy cat Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 The above article states about a new engine to be launched in 2010. Let's wait and check the 2010 Tucson model. Does Verna has it? I know you gave this just for reference that Hyundai has come up a way lot. But Fiat is better than them. I believe we are referring 1.5 Verna CRDi and 1.3 mjd from Fiat, while in this Fiat is better. May be with the new engine in 2010, they might do some miracle, but we have to wait for that, say a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtandon Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Voted for the Fiat here - Hyundai fans, let me state my case - The engine has four versions - the highest version produces 105 PS Just google - "Lancia Ypsilon" - it comes with this engine tuned to 105PS Now if only Fiat India could launch a palio diesel sport with that engine - we won't be having this poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree hats off to Hyundai to bring CRDI. But as CC mentioned reliability wise i dont think CRDI will come close to MJD's, DDIS's. Most of my close friends/relatives have complained of reliability of CRDI s after 75 k . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarabjeet Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 well talking about reliablity hyundai may have engine reliability issues after 4 years but atleast they can back it up with serivce , i know about people want to buy the fiat linea but arebacking off due to fiats service reliability issue they had faced during palio & spare-part pricing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thackervijay Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 well we are discussing which one out of 1.5 crdi and 1.3 multijet is best, and i vote for fiat's 1.3L multijet engine, these are engines sold by companies, where fiat's one id doing wonders around globe in different cars and car manufacturers,havent heard that big problem with fiat's engine which is more superior to hyundai's crdi,may be the issues with hyundai's crdi engines might be sorted out with their new technology being worked on in 2010,but till then its FIAT MULTIJET. Pl dont fight for which company is better,rather which engine is to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiat launched its CRDi technology after 4 years of Accent CRDI, till that time Accent Crdi is best in class. Hyundai is going launch its new 1.1 L CRDI engine with equal power of Fiat 1.25L Fiat diesel 4 cylinder 1.25 L Power - 75 PS @ 4000 rpm i10 Diesel 3 cylinder 1.1 L Power - 75 PS @ 4000 rpm I hope Every new release comes with some innovations thats why Hyundai 1.1 L power = Fiat 1.25 L power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibhor Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Jbond, You are creating very nice polls! I've voted for the FIAT 1.3 MJD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Jr. Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Guyz - Firstly Fiat invented the crdi, Hyndai & others just copied it or took colaboration as in mercedes & other top car manufacturers & gave it different names or versions. Then Fiat came out with the next generation crdi- The Multijet. And again all other companies wanted it also. Hence Fiat is already years ahead in researching engines for the future in their R&D units & do not disclose till they are completely succesful. We should not forget when research is done by Fiat, they spend millions & others just spend a fraction to copy & adjust it to their cars as in Hyundai. Hyundai has not invented or created one single technology till date & is known to copy designs & technologies from world leaders like Fiat. They copy & produce their cars especially for the markets which have little knowledge about cars, thats how they ended up entering India in the initial years. Now they also have markets in europe, but majority of the europeans, especially the western european countries where car enthusiaits are majority, do not prefer Hyundai or Korean cars no matter how cheap they are. The most important factor that we as Indians need to know is that when an engine or a car is manufactured we need to look into many aspects & not just looks or "ok the car runs" factor. What we in India need to know is that the Indian car market has matured & we need to judge our cars in a more appropriate manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbond830 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi Devil That very true. Fiat is so much into the creation of crdi. Fiat's alfa romeo is the first car to come equipped with crdi engine back in 1997. Thats good news for fiat fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesapphire Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 [quote name=Crazy catIf they give first taste doesn't necessarily mean they are best. If that is the case' date=' I'm just stating my views on your reply [/quote] Well i like Hyundai's Crdi and yes their engine was revolution atleast to indian market but still if we talk about today, its Mjd for its refinement but for power its 1.5 Crdi all the way...But i voted for Mjd.. And CC yes i agree with you and same thing i want to tell some members here also who love maruti because they brought revolution in Indian automobile industry and always shout one thing only...Although they brought first but they did their business and not social work whether its Hyundai for its Crdi or Maruti for its 800... Back to topic, Mjd is more advanced but i think Fiat should bring a powerful one maybe 1.6Mjd.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Jr. Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 as to what DD has posted some article, I could post loads of material in that manner from around the world about Fiat's appreciation & Hyundai disgrace in terms of copying designs & technologies from around the world.

jbond830 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 But, no matter how good is the technology its the complete product which matters. Hyundai with its good A.S.S, international releases, and decent enough cars make it a more attractive than the Fiat for majority of the buyers.

Devil Jr. Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I agree with thatjbond. a.s.s.. is also imp. and as for indian buyers, the a.s.s. is more important than driving pleasure & technology, hence hyundai have better sales than Fiat in india.

bluesapphire Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Well dont jump into Hyundai Vs. Fiat as a company....we are just comparing their diesel engines..

Devil Jr. Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Blue - the reason i mentioned from the basics, thats cause we need to know how they were made in the first place & what has gone behind making edrive-trains like these.

Its quite obvious that without A.S.S. no point having great engine(Eg. Magnum)too. Lets just stick to the engine comparison . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Jr. Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 For driving pleasure & the feel of it, I will prefer the 1.3MJD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbond830 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I think everyone understands that Fiat is the best diesel engine around. Am I rite? Something says that, Hyundai will regularly update its diesel engines as the technology improves. But how about Fiat? On the other hand. Hyundai has a 1.1 liter crdi diesel engine for the i10. But the same has not been released in the Indian market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
