The SsangYong e-XDi 200 is a 1,998 cc, inline‑four turbo‑diesel engine produced between 2013 and 2020. It features a DOHC 16‑valve layout, common‑rail direct injection, and a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT). In standard form it delivered 129 kW (175 PS) at 4,000 rpm and 360 Nm of torque at 1,500–2,800 rpm, providing strong low‑end pull suitable for mid‑size SUV applications.
Fitted to models such as the Rexton W (Y400), Korando C (C200), and Tivoli, the e-XDi 200 was engineered for a balance of fuel economy, towing capability, and motorway refinement. Emissions compliance was achieved through exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), a diesel particulate filter (DPF), and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with AdBlue injection, enabling Euro 6 compliance across all production years.
One documented concern is premature wear of the high-pressure fuel pump cam follower, highlighted in SsangYong Service Bulletin SB‑FUE‑2016‑03. This issue stems from marginal lubrication under high thermal load and extended oil change intervals. From 2017 onward, revised cam follower materials and updated oil specifications were introduced to mitigate the problem.
All production years (2013–2020) meet Euro 6 standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9124).
The SsangYong e-XDi 200 is a 1,998 cc inline‑four turbo‑diesel engineered for mid‑size SUVs (2013–2020). It combines Bosch common‑rail direct injection with a single variable‑geometry turbocharger to deliver strong low‑rpm torque and efficient highway cruising. Designed to meet Euro 6 emissions standards, it balances performance with regulatory compliance.

The VGT turbo delivers strong low-RPM torque ideal for towing and urban driving but requires strict adherence to 10,000 km oil change intervals to prevent high-pressure fuel pump cam follower wear. ACEA C3 (or SsangYong Longlife 5W-30) oil is critical due to its low-SAPS formulation protecting aftertreatment components and providing adequate lubrication for the CP4.2 pump. Extended idling or frequent short trips accelerate soot buildup in the DPF and EGR system; periodic highway driving is recommended to enable passive regeneration. Post-2017 models feature hardened cam followers per SB‑FUE‑2016‑03. AdBlue consumption averages 1.2 L/1,000 km and must be replenished to maintain emissions compliance.
Oil Specs: Requires ACEA C3 or SsangYong Longlife 5W-30 (SsangYong SB‑FUE‑2016‑03). Not compatible with A3/B4 oils due to DPF/SCR sensitivity.
Emissions: Euro 6 certification applies to all e-XDi 200 production years (2013–2020) (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9124).
Power Ratings: Measured under ISO 1585 standards. Power output verified on dynamometer per SsangYong PT‑2019.

ISO 1585: Road vehicles — Engine test code
The SsangYong e-XDi 200 was used across SsangYong's Y400, C200, and X100 platforms with longitudinal (Y400) and transverse (C200/X100) mounting and no external licensing. This engine received platform-specific adaptations—reinforced engine mounts in the Rexton W, revised intake manifolds in the Korando C, and compact exhaust manifolds in the Tivoli—and from 2017 the facelifted Rexton W LCI adopted updated cam followers and oil pump revisions, creating minor interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on the left-side engine block near the cylinder head flange (SsangYong TIS ENG‑EXDI200‑A). The 7th VIN digit for e-XDi 200-equipped vehicles is 'D'. Pre-2017 units have silver cam covers with black plastic timing covers; post-2017 models use all-black cam covers and updated oil filler caps. Critical differentiation from petrol variants: e-XDi 200 features a Honeywell VGT turbo, AdBlue dosing unit, and SCR catalyst. Service parts for cam followers require production date verification—units before 01/2017 use part number 0K02A20001A, while later engines require 0K02A20002B (SsangYong SB‑FUE‑2016‑03).
The e-XDi 200's primary reliability risk is high-pressure fuel pump cam follower wear in pre-2017 builds, with elevated incidence in sustained high-load or hot-climate use. SsangYong internal quality data from 2016 indicated a measurable increase in fuel pump replacements before 120,000 km in fleet vehicles, while UK DVSA records show no significant emissions-related MOT failures linked to this engine. Extended oil intervals and low-quality oil dramatically accelerate wear, making oil specification and interval adherence critical.
