The Gasoline versions use a Carburetor. Fuel-system information is not measured for the Diesel versions.

Performance and economy

Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is not measured for any displayed Aro 24 version.

Top speed ranges from 105 to 130 km/h. The 3.1 MT versions reach 105 km/h. Both naturally aspirated Diesel 2.5 MT versions, both 2.7 MT versions and both Gasoline 2.5 MT versions reach 110 km/h. The 2.1 MT and 2.4 MT reach 120 km/h. The Turbo Diesel 2.5 MT versions with 95 hp and 100 hp have the highest listed top speed, at 130 km/h.

Fuel consumption is measured only for the 2.4 MT and the 95 hp and 100 hp Turbo Diesel 2.5 MT versions. Each records 15 l/100 km in the city, 11 l/100 km on the highway and 15 l/100 km combined. City, highway and combined consumption are not measured for every other displayed version. CO₂ output and environmental class are also not measured for any version.

Dimensions and weight

The displayed versions have kerb weights from 1620 to 1800 kg. The lightest is the 83 hp Gasoline 2.5 MT at 1620 kg, while the 87 hp Diesel 2.4 MT is the heaviest at 1800 kg.

Gross weight is 2320 kg for the 83 hp Gasoline 2.5 MT; 2450 kg for the 2.4 MT, the 75 hp Diesel 2.5 MT, both Turbo Diesel 2.5 MT versions, the 71 hp 2.7 MT and the 85 hp Gasoline 2.5 MT; and 2470 kg for the 68 hp 2.7 MT. Gross weight is not measured for the 2.1 MT, the 72 hp Diesel 2.5 MT, or either 3.1 MT.

Ground clearance is either 220 or 250 mm. The 2.1 MT, 72 hp Diesel 2.5 MT, 68 hp 2.7 MT, 65 hp 3.1 MT and both Gasoline 2.5 MT versions have 220 mm. The remaining displayed versions have 250 mm.

Every listed Aro 24 has a 95-litre fuel tank. Wheel sizes are not measured for any displayed version.

All versions use Independent, spring front and rear suspension, with Disc front brakes and Drum rear brakes.

Which version to choose

For the strongest listed output, the 100 hp Turbo Diesel 2.5 MT is the clear choice. It produces 216 Nm at 1800 rpm and reaches 130 km/h. Compared with the 95 hp Turbo Diesel 2.5 MT, it adds 5 hp and 11 Nm while retaining the same 5-speed Manual gearbox, AWD, 250 mm ground clearance and measured consumption figures.

The 95 hp Turbo Diesel 2.5 MT is close behind, with 205 Nm and the same 130 km/h top speed. Both versions weigh 1725 kg and have a gross weight of 2450 kg.

The 2.4 MT offers 87 hp and 195 Nm, reaches 120 km/h and has the same measured fuel consumption as the two more powerful Turbo Diesel 2.5 MT versions. At 1800 kg, however, it is 75 kg heavier than either of them.

For the lowest kerb weight, choose the 83 hp Gasoline 2.5 MT. Its 1620 kg figure is 50 kg below the 85 hp Gasoline version, although the latter adds 2 hp. The 83 hp version also produces 4 Nm more torque, while both reach 110 km/h and use a 4-speed Manual gearbox with AWD.

Among the naturally aspirated Diesel 2.5 MT choices, the 75 hp version adds 3 hp over the 72 hp version, but produces 2 Nm less torque. Both weigh 1735 kg and reach 110 km/h; the principal catalogue difference is ground clearance, at 250 mm for the 75 hp version and 220 mm for the 72 hp version.

The 71 hp 2.7 MT adds 3 hp and 14 Nm over the 68 hp version. Both weigh 1780 kg and reach 110 km/h, but clearance rises from 220 to 250 mm in the 71 hp specification.

Between the 3.1 MT versions, the 70 hp model adds 5 hp while producing 1 Nm less torque than the 65 hp model. Both reach 105 km/h. The 70 hp version is 40 kg heavier and has 30 mm more ground clearance.

Whichever version is selected, acceleration, wheel-size, CO₂ and environmental-class figures remain not measured in the catalogue data.
