All engines in the supplied range have four cylinders in an Inline layout. Most are naturally aspirated; only the 92 hp and 94 hp 1.9 MT Diesel versions use Turbo boost. The Gasoline choices include carburettor, central-injection, and multi-point-injection versions. Every listed modification has a Manual gearbox. The 1.2 MT has four speeds, while all other shown versions have five.

The highest recorded top speed is 140 km/h, shared by the 106 hp 1.6 MT Gasoline version and the 92 hp 1.9 MT Turbo Diesel. The lowest recorded figure is 110 km/h for the 54 hp 1.6 MT Diesel and 54 hp 1.2 MT Gasoline versions. That creates a 30 km/h spread across the shown range.
Acceleration to 100 km/h was measured only for the 92 hp 1.9 MT, at 17.5 seconds. It is not measured for every other version. City, highway, and combined fuel-consumption figures are not measured for any supplied modification. CO₂ output and environmental class are also not measured throughout the data.

Kerb weight ranges from 950 to 1,475 kg, a difference of 525 kg. Gross weight ranges from 1,450 to 2,350 kg, a difference of 900 kg. Every shown version has 240 mm of ground clearance and a 46-litre fuel tank. Wheel sizes are not measured.
The suspension and braking specifications are consistent across the range: independent spring suspension at both ends, with Disc front brakes and Drum rear brakes.
Which version to choose
The 1.6 MT with 106 hp is the strongest Gasoline choice in the data. Its 145 Nm output is 45 Nm greater than either 1.4 MT, and its 140 km/h top speed is 25 km/h higher than the 58 hp variants. It also weighs 1,300 kg and uses AWD with a five-speed Manual gearbox.
For the greatest recorded torque, the 92 hp 1.9 MT stands out. Its Turbo Diesel engine produces 182 Nm, which is 7 Nm more than the 94 hp Turbo version despite having 2 hp less. It also reaches 140 km/h, compared with 120 km/h for the 94 hp version, and it is the only modification with a measured 0–100 km/h time.
The 94 hp 1.9 MT has the highest gross-weight figure at 2,350 kg. That is 500 kg above the 92 hp version’s 1,850 kg, although the 94 hp model has 7 Nm less torque and a 20 km/h lower top speed.
Among the naturally aspirated Diesel options, the 65 hp 1.9 MT offers 1 hp more than either 64 hp 1.9 MT while retaining the same 118 Nm torque and 120 km/h top speed. The two 64 hp versions differ in kerb weight: 1,385 kg and 1,410 kg, a 25 kg difference.
The 1.2 MT is the lightest option at 950 kg. It is also the only shown version with a four-speed Manual gearbox, and it uses FWD. The 58 hp 1.4 MT FWD adds 4 hp and 10 Nm, uses a five-speed Manual, and raises top speed from 110 to 115 km/h, while adding 90 kg of kerb weight.
For AWD with a Gasoline engine, the selection runs from the 58 hp and 62 hp 1.4 MT versions through the 72 hp and 106 hp 1.6 MT versions. For Diesel AWD, outputs range from 54 to 94 hp. The final choice therefore depends on whether priority goes to lower kerb weight, FWD simplicity, AWD, higher power, or the stronger torque of the Turbo Diesel versions.
