Citroen Evasion

Citroen Evasion: which version to buy

The Citroen Evasion is a one-generation Minivan sold from 1994-01-01 to 2002-12-31 in nine versions. There is no second generation to “step up to,” so the buying question is only which of those nine engines and gearboxes to take. All nine are FWD. Seven use a Manual 5 gearbox; two use Automatic 4. Gasoline versions run from 99 hp to 147 hp; Diesel versions sit at 90 hp or 109 hp.

The Citroen Evasion is a one-generation Minivan sold from 1994-01-01 to 2002-12-31 in nine versions. There is no second generation to “step up to,” so the buying question is only which of those nine engines and gearboxes to take. All nine are FWD. Seven use a Manual 5 gearbox; two use Automatic 4. Gasoline versions run from 99 hp to 147 hp; Diesel versions sit at 90 hp or 109 hp. Ground clearance is 130 mm on every version. The fuel tank is 80 L on every version. Wheel sizes are not measured on every version.

That spread is the whole catalogue: same years, same body, same drive, different power, torque, weight, and (where measured) fuel use.

Citroen Evasion generations: what actually changes when you pick a year

1 generation (1994-01-01–2002-12-31), Minivan, 9 versions. There is no restyling listed as a separate generation. A 2000 car and a 1994 car sit in the same generation; the data do not split them. Choosing a later calendar year does not, on these figures, buy a new platform, a new drive layout, or a new clearance figure. What you are choosing is the engine and gearbox line below.

Because there is only one generation, “generation vs generation” arithmetic is empty: kerb weight, clearance, tank, brakes, and suspension labels do not move from one generation to another. They move from version to version.

Citroen Evasion engine and specs: the nine versions side by side

Use the names exactly as listed. Four rows share the label 2.0 MT; two share 2.0 AT. Separate them by power.

Valves per cylinder: 1.8 MT 2; 2.0 MT (136 hp) and 2.0 AT (136 hp) 4; 2.0 MT (106 hp) 2; 2.0 MT (147 hp) 2; 1.9 MT 2; 2.0 MT (109 hp) and 2.0 AT (109 hp) 4; 2.1 MT 3.

Feed: 1.8 MT, 2.0 MT (136 hp), 2.0 AT (136 hp), and 2.0 MT (147 hp) use Distributed injection (multi-point). 2.0 MT (106 hp), 1.9 MT, 2.0 MT (109 hp), 2.0 AT (109 hp), and 2.1 MT have injection not measured.

Compression: 1.8 MT 9.25; 2.0 MT (136 hp) / 2.0 AT (136 hp) 10.8; 2.0 MT (106 hp) not measured; 2.0 MT (147 hp) 8; 1.9 MT 21.8; 2.0 MT (109 hp) / 2.0 AT (109 hp) 18; 2.1 MT 21.5.

Bore × stroke: 1.8 MT 83 × 81.4; 2.0 MT (136 hp) / 2.0 AT (136 hp) / 2.0 MT (109 hp) / 2.0 AT (109 hp) 85 × 88; 2.0 MT (106 hp) not measured; 2.0 MT (147 hp) 86 × 86; 1.9 MT 83 × 88; 2.1 MT 85 × 92.

Fuel grade: 1.8 MT, 2.0 MT (136 hp), 2.0 AT (136 hp) use 95. 2.0 MT (106 hp) and 2.0 MT (147 hp) use 92. Diesel versions use Diesel.

Power per litre (hp ÷ displacement in litres):

• 2.0 MT (147 hp): 73.6 hp/L — highest.
• 2.0 MT (136 hp) / 2.0 AT (136 hp): 68.1 hp/L.
• 1.8 MT: 56.2 hp/L.
• 2.0 MT (109 hp) / 2.0 AT (109 hp): 54.6 hp/L.
• 2.0 MT (106 hp): 53.1 hp/L.
• 2.1 MT: 52.2 hp/L.
• 1.9 MT: 47.2 hp/L — lowest.

The Turbo Gasoline 2.0 MT (147 hp) is 5.5 hp/L above the naturally aspirated 2.0 MT (136 hp) and 20.5 hp/L above the 2-valve 2.0 MT (106 hp) that shares a 1998 cc label. The 106 hp 2.0 MT is 3.1 hp/L below the smaller 1.8 MT.

Peak rpm: 1.8 MT 5750; 2.0 MT (136 hp) / 2.0 AT (136 hp) 6000; 2.0 MT (147 hp) 5300; 1.9 MT and both 109 hp 2.0 Diesels 4000; 2.1 MT 4300; 2.0 MT (106 hp) not measured.

Torque rpm: 2.1 MT 250 Nm at 2000 — earliest and strongest peak. 2.0 MT (147 hp) 235 Nm at 2500. 1.9 MT 196 Nm at 2250. 1.8 MT 147 Nm at 2600. 2.0 MT (136 hp), 2.0 AT (136 hp), 2.0 MT (109 hp), and 2.0 AT (109 hp) all list 190 Nm at 4100. 2.0 MT (106 hp) torque is not measured.

2.1 MT vs 2.0 MT (109 hp): same 109 hp / 80 kW, but 2.1 MT has 60 Nm more (250 vs 190) and the peak 2100 rpm earlier. Displacement is 91 cc larger (2088 vs 1997). Valves go from 4 to 3. That is the Diesel-manual trade: more low-end torque, not more peak power.

2.0 MT (147 hp) vs 2.0 MT (136 hp): +11 hp, +45 Nm, Turbo instead of No, 2 valves instead of 4, compression 8 instead of 10.8, 92 instead of 95. The extra 11 hp is 8.1% more power; the extra 45 Nm is 23.7% more torque.

2.0 AT (136 hp) vs 2.0 MT (136 hp): same 136 hp, 190 Nm, 1997 cc, Gasoline, 4 Inline, 4 valves, No boost. The Automatic 4 is the only listed difference in the engine table. Performance and kerb weight for the Automatic are not measured, so the gearbox is not a free upgrade on paper — it is an unknown on speed and mass.

Same pattern for 2.0 AT (109 hp) vs 2.0 MT (109 hp): same Diesel 109 hp / 190 Nm / 1997 cc / Turbo. Automatic 4 instead of Manual 5. Acceleration, top speed, fuel, and kerb weight for the Automatic: not measured. Gross weight is measured at 2395 kg, matching the Manual Diesel 2.0 MT (109 hp).

Citroen Evasion specs: 0–100, top speed, mpg

Fastest measured: 2.0 MT (147 hp) at 11.4 s and 195. Slowest measured 0–100: 1.8 MT at 16.2 s — 4.8 s slower. Lowest measured top speed: 1.9 MT at 160 — 35 below the Turbo Gasoline.

2.0 MT (136 hp) is 2.2 s quicker than 1.8 MT (14.0 vs 16.2) and 22 km/h faster (187 vs 165). Mixed consumption is lower on the stronger car: 9.2 vs 10.3, a 1.1 L/100 km gap. City is slightly worse (13.5 vs 13.2); highway is better (7.6 vs 8.6). If the goal is Gasoline Manual speed and mixed economy among the two versions with a full mpg set, 2.0 MT (136 hp) beats 1.8 MT on both 0–100 and mixed use.

2.0 MT (106 hp) sits between them on speed: 14.6 s and 177. That is 1.6 s quicker than 1.8 MT and 0.6 s slower than 2.0 MT (136 hp). Fuel for 2.0 MT (106 hp) is not measured, so it cannot be called the economical Gasoline 2.0.

2.0 MT (147 hp) vs 2.0 MT (136 hp): 2.6 s quicker (11.4 vs 14.0), 8 km/h faster (195 vs 187). Fuel for the Turbo Gasoline is not measured — the extra 11 hp is a measured time gain with unmeasured consumption.

Diesel Manual times: 2.1 MT 14.1 s / 175; 2.0 MT (109 hp) 15.2 s / 175; 1.9 MT 15.1 s / 160. 2.1 MT matches 2.0 MT (136 hp) to 0.1 s on 0–100 (14.1 vs 14.0) at the same 175 top speed as the 109 hp Diesel Manual, not the 187 of the 136 hp Gasoline. 1.9 MT is 0.1 s quicker than 2.0 MT (109 hp) but 15 km/h slower on top speed.

Only three versions have a full consumption set: 1.8 MT, 2.0 MT (136 hp), 2.0 MT (109 hp). The Diesel 2.0 MT (109 hp) uses 8.8 / 5.9 / 6.9 against 13.2 / 8.6 / 10.3 on 1.8 MT and 13.5 / 7.6 / 9.2 on 2.0 MT (136 hp). Mixed: 3.4 L/100 km below 1.8 MT, 2.3 below 2.0 MT (136 hp). Highway: 2.7 below 1.8 MT, 1.7 below 2.0 MT (136 hp).

Range on the 80 L tank from mixed figures: 1.8 MT 80 ÷ 10.3 × 100 ≈ 777 km; 2.0 MT (136 hp) ≈ 870 km; 2.0 MT (109 hp) ≈ 1160 km. That is the measured economy argument for the 109 hp Diesel Manual.

Both Automatics have 0–100, top speed, and mpg not measured. They cannot be ranked on pace or fuel.

Citroen Evasion dimensions, weight, and clearance

Clearance is 130 mm on all nine. Tank is 80 L on all nine. Wheel size is not measured on all nine. Front brakes Ventilated disc, rear Disc, front and rear Independent, spring — same labels on all nine. Dimensions as length/width/height are not in the data.

Lightest kerb: 1.8 MT at 1455 kg. Heaviest measured kerb: 2.1 MT at 1690 kg — 235 kg more than 1.8 MT, 95 kg more than 2.0 MT (109 hp).

Best measured kg/hp: 2.0 MT (147 hp) at 10.71. Next: 2.0 MT (136 hp) at 11.47. Worst: 1.9 MT at 17.50 — 90 hp pulling 1575 kg, the same kerb as the 147 hp Turbo.

Payload: 2.0 MT (136 hp) and 2.0 MT (109 hp) both 800 kg, the highest measured. 2.0 MT (106 hp) 790. 2.0 MT (147 hp) and 1.9 MT 765. 2.1 MT 695 — 105 kg less payload than the 800 kg pair because kerb is high while gross is 2385, 10 kg below the 2395 of 2.0 MT (109 hp). 1.8 MT payload is 630, 170 kg below the 800 kg pair; gross is also the lowest at 2085.

2.0 AT (136 hp) weight is not measured at either kerb or gross. 2.0 AT (109 hp) gross is 2395, kerb not measured, so payload is not measured.

Interior layout is a common search; seat counts and cabin millimetres are not measured here. What is measured for load is the payload column above.

Which Citroen Evasion version to choose

There is one generation, so the choice is engine and gearbox, not year-code.

If the ranking is 0–100 and top speed among measured cars: 2.0 MT (147 hp). 11.4 s, 195 km/h, 147 hp, 235 Nm, 10.71 kg/hp. Fuel not measured. Uses 92. Turbo, 2 valves, compression 8. Versus 2.0 MT (136 hp) you gain 2.6 s and 8 km/h, pay with unknown mpg, and drop payload from 800 kg to 765 kg (+15 kg kerb, −20 kg gross).

If the ranking is measured mixed consumption: 2.0 MT (109 hp). 6.9 L/100 km mixed, 8.8 city, 5.9 highway, 109 hp Diesel Turbo, Manual 5, 15.2 s, 175 km/h, 800 kg payload, 1595 kg kerb. Versus 1.8 MT you save 3.4 L/100 km mixed and gain 170 kg payload, while 0–100 is 1.0 s quicker (15.2 vs 16.2) and top speed is 10 km/h higher (175 vs 165). Versus 2.0 MT (136 hp) you save 2.3 L/100 km mixed, match the 800 kg payload, and give up 1.2 s and 12 km/h (15.2 / 175 vs 14.0 / 187).

If the ranking is Gasoline Manual with a full mpg set: 2.0 MT (136 hp), not 1.8 MT. 136 vs 99 hp (+37 hp, +37.4%), 190 vs 147 Nm (+43 Nm), 14.0 vs 16.2 s, 187 vs 165 km/h, mixed 9.2 vs 10.3, payload 800 vs 630, kerb 1560 vs 1455. The 1.8 is 105 kg lighter and still slower and thirstier on mixed. 1.8 MT only wins kerb mass and city by 0.3 L/100 km (13.2 vs 13.5).

If the ranking is low-end Diesel torque: 2.1 MT. 250 Nm at 2000, 14.1 s, 175 km/h, 109 hp — same horsepower as 2.0 MT (109 hp), 60 Nm more, 0–100 1.1 s quicker (14.1 vs 15.2), same 175 top speed. Cost in the data: +95 kg kerb (1690 vs 1595), −105 kg payload (695 vs 800), fuel not measured. Do not pick 2.1 MT for economy; mpg is not measured. Do not pick it for payload; it is the weakest measured payload after 1.8 MT.

1.9 MT is the least powerful Diesel (90 hp) and the worst kg/hp (17.50). 15.1 s, 160 km/h — slowest measured top speed. Same 1575 / 2340 kg as 2.0 MT (147 hp) with 57 hp less. Fuel not measured. Choose it only if 90 hp and 196 Nm at 2250 is the point; it does not beat 2.0 MT (109 hp) on speed and cannot beat it on mpg because its mpg is not measured.

2.0 MT (106 hp) is the odd Gasoline 2.0: 106 hp, 2 valves, 92, 14.6 s, 177 km/h, 1510 / 2300 kg, 790 kg payload. Torque, rpm, injection, compression, bore, and fuel use not measured. It is 0.6 s and 10 km/h behind 2.0 MT (136 hp) and 1.6 s / 12 km/h ahead of 1.8 MT. Without mpg, it is not the economy Gasoline pick.

Automatics: 2.0 AT (136 hp) and 2.0 AT (109 hp). Same engines as their Manual twins. 0–100 not measured, top speed not measured, mpg not measured. 2.0 AT (136 hp) kerb and gross not measured. 2.0 AT (109 hp) kerb not measured, gross 2395. If you need Automatic 4, the data do not say how much time or fuel you give up. They only say FWD, 130 mm, 80 L, and the same engine figures as the matching Manual.

What extra output buys, in arithmetic:

• 1.8 MT → 2.0 MT (136 hp): +37 hp, +43 Nm, −2.2 s, +22 km/h, −1.1 mixed L/100 km, +105 kg kerb, +170 kg payload.
• 2.0 MT (136 hp) → 2.0 MT (147 hp): +11 hp, +45 Nm, −2.6 s, +8 km/h, mpg not measured, +15 kg kerb, −35 kg payload.
• 2.0 MT (109 hp) → 2.1 MT: 0 hp, +60 Nm, −1.1 s, 0 km/h on top speed, mpg not measured, +95 kg kerb, −105 kg payload.
• 2.0 MT (109 hp) vs 2.0 MT (136 hp): −27 hp, 0 Nm (both 190), +1.2 s, −12 km/h, −2.3 mixed L/100 km, +35 kg kerb, same 800 kg payload.

There is no price in this dataset, so “extra money” is extra power, extra torque, extra payload, or extra measured economy — not currency.

Short map: measured pace → 2.0 MT (147 hp). Measured mixed mpg and 800 kg payload on Diesel → 2.0 MT (109 hp). Gasoline with complete mpg and strong payload → 2.0 MT (136 hp). Diesel torque without a mpg figure → 2.1 MT. Lightest kerb only → 1.8 MT. Automatic → 2.0 AT (136 hp) or 2.0 AT (109 hp), with speed, mpg, and (for the Gasoline AT) weight not measured. 1.9 MT and 2.0 MT (106 hp) sit in the middle of the times with holes in torque and/or fuel data.

Citroen Evasion vs Peugeot 806 is a common search; this catalogue has no Peugeot 806 figures, so that comparison is not measured here. Windows 95 is unrelated to these specs. For sale / occasion / OLX / segunda mano listings are not in the data.
