Design

The Family 1 engines are inline-four cylinder engines with belt-driven single or double overhead camshafts in an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron engine block. GM do Brasil versions were also capable of running on ethanol. These engines share their basic design with the larger Family II engine - for this reason some consider the Family I and Family II to be the same series and instead use the terms 'small block' and 'large block' to distinguish between the two. Over the years there has been overlap between the two types as the smallest capacities of the Family II have also been manufactured with larger capacity versions of the Family I block. GM do Brasil specializes in

The SPE / 4 or (''Smart Performance Economy 4 cylinders'') engines are an evolution of the Econo.Flex engines that were made in Brazil at the ''Joinville'' plant. There are two available displacements: 1.0 L and 1.4 L. They feature an SOHC head with 2-valves per cylinder, and is fed by a multi-point fuel injection system, which allows it to run on either E100 (pure ethanol) or E25 gasoline (standard in Brazil). Major differences between previous engines include reduced friction, lowered weight, individual coil-near-plug ignition, and a new cylinder head design. {, class=wikitable , - !Name!!Displacement!!Bore!!Stroke!!Compression Ratio!!Power!!Torque!!Applications , - , , , , 1.0 L (999 cc), , {{convert, 71.1, mm, in, 1, abbr=on, , {{convert, 62.9, mm, in, 1, abbr=on, , rowspan=2, 12.4:1, , {{ubl , {{convert, 78, hp, kW, abbr=on at 6400 rpm (Petrol), {{convert, 80, hp, kW, abbr=on at 6400 rpm (Ethanol), , {{ubl , {{convert, 93, Nm, lb·ft, abbr=on at 5200 rpm (Petrol) , {{convert, 96, Nm, lb·ft, abbr=on at 5200 rpm (Ethanol), , rowspan=2, {{ubl , 2013-present

, turbocharger = Some version The new ''Generation III'' or Gen III engine entered production in Spring 2005. These engines replaced both the previous generation ''Ecotec'' engines as well as Daewoo's ''E-TEC 16V'' engines. These engines are manufactured at Szentgotthárd, Hungary, Bupyeoung, Korea, Toluca, Mexico and Yantai, PRC (SGM). In contrast to their predecessors, the ''Gen III'' engines feature lighter cast-iron blocks, as well as higher compression ratios. These engines also implement DCVCP (Double Continuous Variable Cam Phasing technology, a variant of VVT), piston cooling by oil jets, and an integrated catalytic converter. Non-turbocharged variants feature the ''TwinPort'' ( Variable-length intake manifold) technology. Reliability improvements include a wider camshaft drive belt, and a water pump no longer driven by it. The LDE engine meets
