What is the primary difference between the H76W and H77W?
The H76W utilizes the 1.8-liter 4G93 engine, whereas the H77W is powered by the larger, more powerful 2.0-liter 4G94 engine.
What type of fuel is recommended for the H77W's GDI engine?
Because of the high-compression Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) technology, premium unleaded gasoline is highly recommended to minimize carbon build-up on the intake valves.
