Hyundai SeasAll Announces Two New Models at The Korea International Boatshow

Hyundai SeasAll unveiled two new diesel models the U125 and the H420 at the KIBS in June 2011. The new engines expand Hyundai SeasAll’s range both up and down from the currently available 170 and 250 horsepower offerings.

The new 4-inline U125 is currently the smallest engine in the range and is rated at 125 hp (93 kW) at 4000 rpm. Like its larger brothers, it will be available in inboard, jet and sterndrive configurations. The engine displaces 1582 cc (nominally a 1.6 liter engine) and achieves maximum torque of 26.5 kg/m at 1900 rpm. According to Hyundai SeasAll, the base engine which was developed and is produced by Hyundai Kia Automotive is one of the world’s best in class in its category. Per the company, the modern common rail design delivers outstandingly smooth running, low emissions and excellent fuel economy. The engine will meet all RCD and EPA Tier III emission regulations.

The H420, extending the top of the range, puts out 420 hp (313 kW) at 1800 rpm and delivers 200 kg/m of torque at 1100 rpm. The 9960 cc (nominally 10 liters) inline-6 features a full electronic fuel management system and electronic unit injectors in order to meet current and future emissions requirements (KST, RCE, MED (SOLAS), BSO, CCNR and IMO). The engine can also be classified in order to meet the requirements of various classification societies for Type Approval.

Both engines will be on display at METS in November 2011. They will be available for sale in Asia and Oceania in late 2011 and in the European market by March 2012.

JeongOk Kim at Hyundai SeasAll also commented that a new 12.7 liter engine rated at 520 hp at 1800 rpm would be joining the lineup by early next year.
