Kia Rio Catalytic Converter

Kia Rio catalytic converters mainly cover the IV generation (YB, 2017-2020 and onwards), compatible with petrol engines such as the 1.2 16v (G4LA) and the 1.0 T-GDI (G3LC/G3LE), all compliant with Euro 6 emission standards. These converters include manifold catalytic converters designed for efficient emission reduction and are available new from specialised suppliers.

Key models and engine fits include:

• Kia Rio IV 1.2 16v (YB, engine code G4LA): 84 hp / 62 kW, produced from late 2016 to mid-2020, with a manifold catalytic converter meeting Euro 6 standards. This is also compatible with Kia Stonic 1.2i CVVT models.
• Kia Rio 1.0 T-GDI 12v (G3LC/G3LE engines): 101 hp / 74 kW, petrol engine from 2017-2020, some models equipped with Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) and E-Mark homologation, also Euro 6 compliant.

These converters are manufactured to match specific engine and model requirements ensuring proper fit and emission compliance.

The technical characteristics generally include:

• Compliance with Euro 6 emissions standards to effectively reduce harmful pollutants such as CO, HC, and NOx.
• Manufactured with high-quality monoliths coated with precious metals, contributing to durability and performance.

Kia Rio catalytic converters are designed to transform harmful pollutants in exhaust gases into less harmful substances through a chemical reaction process. This process helps:

• Reduce emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx).
• Maintain engine performance by ensuring proper exhaust flow and minimizing back pressure.
• Keep the vehicle compliant with strict environmental regulations which is essential for passing inspection tests.

Using a high-quality catalytic converter contributes to cleaner air and supports overall vehicle efficiency.

Certain catalytic converters designed for the Kia Rio are also compatible with related models such as the Hyundai Accent and Kia Stonic, especially those sharing the same engine family and emission specifications. Compatibility details include:

• Shared engine codes (e.g., G4LA for the 1.2 engine) across models.
• Compliance with Euro 6 emission standards and OEM specifications.
• Check specific model year and engine variants to ensure correct fitment.

Verifying compatibility by vehicle VIN or engine code is recommended before purchase to ensure an exact match.
