The Kia Cerato 1.6 CRDi 115hp is a 1.6L turbocharged diesel engine producing 115 BHP and 235 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 140 BHP and 300 Nm — a gain of around 25 BHP (22%) and 65 Nm (28%).
This engine scores highly for remap suitability, with a balanced spread of gains across both power and torque — providing a noticeable improvement across the rev range. The tuning headroom is classified as high, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
Considerations: Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.. Older diesel: injector, turbo and intake condition can affect results; ensure maintenance is up to date.
Fuel economy note: possible improvement with conservative driving.
