Daewoo G2X

Which G2X version to buy

If you need numbers you can compare to other cars, 2.3 MT is the only G2X that supplies them. If you want Automatic, 2.3 AT is the only Automatic in the range — five gears, same as the Manual — but you buy it without acceleration, top speed, mpg-style consumption, or weight on the data card.

2.3 MT is the only version with a complete measured set: 170 hp, 220 Nm, 7.2 s to 100 km/h, 225 km/h, 13 / 7.5 / 9.5 L/100 km (city / highway / mixed), 1330 kg kerb, 1540 kg gross. 2.3 AT uses the same engine (170 hp, 125 kW at 6600 rpm, 220 Nm at 4800 rpm, 2295 cm³, Gasoline, 4 Inline cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder, No boost, Distributed injection (multi-point), compression 10, bore × stroke 90.9 × 88.4, fuel 95) and the same RWD layout, but 0–100, top speed, fuel use, and both kerb and gross mass are not measured. Ground clearance is 91 mm on both.

If you need numbers you can compare to other cars, 2.3 MT is the only G2X that supplies them. If you want Automatic, 2.3 AT is the only Automatic in the range — five gears, same as the Manual — but you buy it without acceleration, top speed, mpg-style consumption, or weight on the data card.

Specs: 2.3 MT vs 2.3 AT

Power is identical: 170 hp (125 kW) at 6600 rpm on both. Torque is identical: 220 Nm at 4800 rpm. Displacement is identical: 2295 cm³. That is 170 ÷ 2.295 ≈ 74.1 hp per litre and 220 ÷ 2.295 ≈ 95.9 Nm per litre on 2.3 MT and 2.3 AT alike. The extra money for Automatic (whatever the market asks — prices are not in this dataset) does not buy more horsepower, more torque, a different cylinder count, a different layout, or boost. It buys a 5-speed Automatic instead of a 5-speed Manual, still RWD.

Fuel system, compression, and bore × stroke do not change between versions. Both are Gasoline, 95, Distributed injection (multi-point), compression 10, 90.9 × 88.4, No boost. There is no diesel, no turbo, no second displacement, and no other body: the catalogue is one Roadster generation with two gearboxes.

Performance and economy (mpg / L/100 km)

2.3 MT is the only version with a measured sprint and a measured top speed: 7.2 s to 100 km/h and 225 km/h. 2.3 AT 0–100 is not measured. 2.3 AT top speed is not measured. You cannot rank Automatic versus Manual on time or speed from this data; you can only state that Manual is the version whose figures exist.

Fuel use is the same split. 2.3 MT city 13 L/100 km, highway 7.5 L/100 km, mixed 9.5 L/100 km. City is 13 − 7.5 = 5.5 L/100 km higher than highway. Mixed sits 2 L/100 km under city and 2 L/100 km over highway (13 − 9.5 = 3.5 from city; 9.5 − 7.5 = 2.0 from highway). 2.3 AT city, highway, and mixed are all not measured. CO2 is not measured on both. Eco class is not measured on both. Tank size is not measured on both. If “mpg” or range is the buying filter, only 2.3 MT mixed 9.5 L/100 km is a real number; Automatic consumption is not measured, not “the same as Manual.”

Dimensions, weight, and ground clearance

Kerb weight is measured only on 2.3 MT: 1330 kg. Gross is 1540 kg. Payload from those two figures is 1540 − 1330 = 210 kg. Weight per horsepower on 2.3 MT is 1330 ÷ 170 ≈ 7.82 kg/hp. 2.3 AT kerb is not measured. 2.3 AT gross is not measured. You cannot compute kg/hp or payload for Automatic from this catalogue.

Ground clearance is 91 mm on 2.3 MT and 91 mm on 2.3 AT — no generation change, no version change. Wheel sizes are not measured on either. Tank is not measured on either.

Chassis hardware that is listed is shared: front suspension Independent, spring; rear Independent, spring; front brakes Ventilated disc; rear brakes Disc (label as in the data). Those do not distinguish the two versions. The Roadster body is the only body; there is no second generation to pick for a restyle or a different clearance.

Generations: what changed (and what did not)

There is 1 generation, January 2007 to September 2008, Roadster, 2 versions. No restyling generation exists in the data, so there is no “later G2X” with more power, more gears, or a higher ride height. Both 2.3 MT and 2.3 AT run the same start and stop dates (2007-01-01 to 2008-09-30). Buying “the last year of a later generation” is not a choice this model offers.

What generation 1 did not change between the two versions: 170 hp, 220 Nm, 2295 cm³, Gasoline, 4 Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, No boost, 5 gears, RWD, 91 mm clearance, Independent spring suspension front and rear, Ventilated disc front / Disc rear.

What it did split: gearbox only — Manual on 2.3 MT, Automatic on 2.3 AT — and the completeness of the measured card (acceleration, speed, consumption, mass on Manual; those fields not measured on Automatic).

Which version: arithmetic comparison

Same engine output: 170 hp and 220 Nm on both, so 2.3 AT does not add a single horsepower or newton-metre over 2.3 MT. Same specific output: ≈74.1 hp/L and ≈95.9 Nm/L on both. Same gear count: 5 versus 5. Same drive: RWD versus RWD. Same clearance: 91 mm versus 91 mm.

The only measured performance package is 2.3 MT: 7.2 s, 225 km/h, 13 / 7.5 / 9.5 L/100 km, 1330 / 1540 kg, ≈7.82 kg/hp, 210 kg between kerb and gross. 2.3 AT matches the engine and the 91 mm clearance and the chassis labels, and that is all the numbers support.

Choose 2.3 MT if you want the Manual, the only 0–100 figure (7.2 s), the only top speed (225 km/h), the only consumption set (mixed 9.5 L/100 km), and the only kerb/gross pair (1330 / 1540 kg). Choose 2.3 AT if the requirement is Automatic with the same 170 hp / 220 Nm / 2295 cm³ Gasoline 4 Inline, No boost, 5 speeds, RWD Roadster — accepting that 0–100, top speed, fuel use, kerb, gross, tank, wheels, CO2, and eco class are not measured. There is no third version, no other generation, and no other body to split the difference.
