About this remap

Kia Sportage 1.6 T-GDI hybrid 230 hp Stage 1 — what changes

The Kia Sportage 1.6 T-GDI hybrid 230 hp (2021–) leaves the factory at 230 BHP and 350 Nm of torque. Manufacturers deliberately detune this engine to separate it from more expensive variants in the range — a Regal Tuning Stage 1 calibration safely recovers that headroom through the ECU alone: no hardware changes, no dyno risk, fully reversible.

Fuelling, boost pressure, ignition and torque limiters are optimised within the safe tolerances of the 1.6 T-GDI hybrid 230 hp powertrain (hybrid petrol). The result is 250 BHP and 405 Nm with factory smoothness, cold-start protection and emissions behaviour retained.
