3.5L (G6AU/G6CU)[edit]
The G6AU and G6CU (both also called the 3.5 D ) are the large 3,497 cc (3.5 L; 213.4 cu in) versions of the Sigma engine. Bore and stroke are both larger at 93 mm × 85.8 mm (3.66 in × 3.38 in), respectively. Output is 203–225 PS (149–165 kW; 200–222 hp) at 5,500 rpm and 29.6–31.8 kg⋅m (290–312 N⋅m; 214–230 lbf⋅ft) at 4,000 rpm for the older G6AU and 195–220 PS (143–162 kW; 192–217 hp) at 5,500–6,000 rpm and 30–32 kg⋅m (294–314 N⋅m; 217–231 lbf⋅ft) at 3,500 rpm for the newer G6CU.
The 3.5 D has a cast iron engine block and aluminum DOHC cylinder heads. It uses Multi-port fuel injection, has 4 valves per cylinder, and features forged steel connecting rods. It is designed to run on "regular" unleaded gasoline rather than the premium fuel used in many other high-output V6 engines.
The US-market version produces 197 PS (145 kW; 194 hp) at 5,500 rpm with 30.3 kg⋅m (297 N⋅m; 219 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 3,500 rpm. It was introduced with the Kia Sedona minivan in 2001.
