The G6AU and G6CU (both also called the 3.5 D ) are the large 3,497 cc (3.5 L; 213.4 cu in) versions of the Sigma engine. Bore and stroke are both larger at 93 mm × 85.8 mm (3.66 in × 3.38 in), respectively. Output is 203 PS (149 kW; 200 hp) at 5500 rpm and 29.6 kg⋅m (290 N⋅m; 214 lbf⋅ft) at 4800 rpm for the older G6AU V6 and 220 PS (162 kW; 217 hp) at 5500 rpm and 32 kg⋅m (314 N⋅m; 231 lbf⋅ft) at 3500 rpm for the new G6CU Sigma.
The 3.5 D has a cast iron engine block and aluminum DOHC cylinder heads. It uses Multi-port fuel injection, has 4 valves per cylinder, and features forged steel connecting rods. It is designed to run on "regular" unleaded gasoline rather than the premium fuel used in many other high-output V6 engines.
The US-market version produces 197 PS (145 kW; 194 hp) at 5500 rpm with 30.3 kg⋅m (297 N⋅m; 219 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 3500 rpm. It was introduced with the Kia Sedona minivan in 2001.
