The '''LE5''' is a larger {{cvt|2384|cc|L|1|order=flip}} version of the Ecotec. Both the {{cvt|88|mm|in|1}} bore and {{cvt|98|mm|in|1}} stroke are larger, and [[Variable Valve Timing]] on the intake and exhaust improve low-end torque. Compression is 10.4:1. Power is 164&ndash;177&nbsp;hp (123&ndash;132&nbsp;kW) and torque is 159&ndash;170&nbsp;lb·ft (215&ndash;230&nbsp;N·m). The engine uses a reinforced "Gen II" block. Connecting rods are GKN-forged; C70 powdered metal was used from July 2007 on.

====LAF====
[[File:Chevrolet ecotec 2.4.jpg|thumb|GM Ecotec 2.4]]
The '''LAF''' is a direct injected 2.4&nbsp;L. It uses technology based on GM's other four-cylinder direct-injection applications, but with unique features designed for its specific application. This includes an 11.2:1 compression ratio that helps build power, slightly dished pistons that increase combustion efficiency and injectors with an application-specific flow rate.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/f63/naias-09-2010-ecotec-2-4l-sidi-73038/ |title=NAIAS 09: 2010 ECOTEC 2.4l SIDI |date=22 January 2010 |publisher=Gminsidenews.com |access-date=2012-01-24}}</ref><ref name="GMpress20081217">{{cite news |last=Roth |first=Dan |date=2008-12-17 |title=DI FTW: GM unveils new direct-injection 2.4&nbsp;L EcoTec and 3.0&nbsp;L V6 |work=autoblog.com |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/18/di-ftw-gm-new-direct-inject-2-4l-ecotec-and-3-0l-v6 |access-date=2008-12-17}}</ref>
