Hi Sanskriti. First of all I should apologise for giving wrong information on the engine capacity of Maruti A Star. I also thank you for updating the information. Now I think the distinction between K series engine and kappa engine is clear. K series engine is a 1l engine and kappa engine is a 1.2l engine.

Hi Ramesh!You have mentioned that "The first 1.2l k series engine is to be fitted in the upcoming car Maruti A star ". i would like to correct you that it is the A-star will be launched with the 1L K-series engine initially and later will roll out 1.2L engine for A-Star.

Yes, the engine capacity is the most probable difference between both the engines but I think my friend Ramesh has forgotten other differences. Maruti’s k series engine is being produced in Manesar in Harayana whereas Hyundai’s kappa engine is being produced in its Chennai plant. I have also heard they both differ in weight also. Kappa engine has a dry weight of about 82.4 kg but not much sure about the k series engine.

Hi Parinita. I am not much sure about the differences but I am sure both the engines have one common goal- to deliver better fuel economy. K series engine is believed to be fitted in Maruti cars. The first 1.2l k series engine is to be fitted in the upcoming car Maruti A star and the first Kia Kappa engine is fitted in Hyundai i10.

The K factor is coming!!! With A Star, one can find the K series petrol engine the next generation engine. Great news that it meets Euro 4 and 5 norms, and is highly efficient. With its efficiency lets see will "A Star & K" really become a star in these days of fuel scarcity and price hike.

It’s good to hear that the K-series engine is in compliance with Euro 4 and Euro 5 emission norms. Compliance with the emission norms clearly states low vehicular emission, which in turn means a better ecological balance. India really needs a vehicle like this.

K series - is this same as the Hyundai kappa engine fitted in Hyundai i10 or is it different?
