Fiat Regata

Generations (there is only one)

There is no second generation in the data to compare year-to-year. The spread is inside this one generation: 60–101 hp, 1301–1697 cm³, 4 or 5 gears, Gasoline or Diesel.

1 generation ran from 1983-01-01 to 1990-12-31 as a Sedan with 23 versions (12 shown). Restyling is not listed as a separate generation. Every version below shares that window. Drive is FWD throughout. Gearbox is Manual throughout. Boost is No throughout. Cylinder count is 4, layout Inline, on every version that states it.

There is no second generation in the data to compare year-to-year. The spread is inside this one generation: 60–101 hp, 1301–1697 cm³, 4 or 5 gears, Gasoline or Diesel.

Specs: all 12 versions (engine, gearbox, drive)

Valves per cylinder: 2 on the 1.3 MT 65 hp, 1.3 MT 68 hp, 1.5 MT 75 hp (1498 cm³), 1.6 MT 82 hp, 1.6 MT 90 hp, 1.6 MT 101 hp Carburetor, and 1.7 MT 60 hp. Not measured on 1.5 MT 75 hp (1481 cm³), 1.5 MT 79 hp, 1.5 MT 82 hp, 1.6 MT 95 hp, and 1.6 MT 101 hp Central injection (single-point or single- point).

Engine position Front, transverse is measured on 1.3 MT 65 hp, 1.5 MT 75 hp (1498 cm³), 1.6 MT 101 hp Carburetor, and 1.7 MT 60 hp. Not measured on the other eight.

Which engine: power per litre and what extra displacement buys

Specific output (hp ÷ litres from the listed cm³):

• 1.3 MT 65 hp: 65 / 1.301 ≈ 50.0 hp/L
• 1.3 MT 68 hp: 68 / 1.301 ≈ 52.3 hp/L
• 1.5 MT 75 hp (1481 cm³): 75 / 1.481 ≈ 50.6 hp/L
• 1.5 MT 75 hp (1498 cm³): 75 / 1.498 ≈ 50.1 hp/L
• 1.5 MT 79 hp: 79 / 1.498 ≈ 52.7 hp/L
• 1.5 MT 82 hp: 82 / 1.498 ≈ 54.7 hp/L
• 1.6 MT 82 hp: 82 / 1.585 ≈ 51.7 hp/L
• 1.6 MT 90 hp: 90 / 1.585 ≈ 56.8 hp/L
• 1.6 MT 95 hp: 95 / 1.585 ≈ 59.9 hp/L
• 1.6 MT 101 hp (both): 101 / 1.585 ≈ 63.7 hp/L
• 1.7 MT 60 hp: 60 / 1.697 ≈ 35.4 hp/L

The densest engines are both 1.6 MT 101 hp cars. The thinnest is the 1.7 MT Diesel. Stepping from 1.3 MT 65 hp to 1.6 MT 101 hp Carburetor adds 36 hp (+55%) for 284 cm³ extra. Stepping from 1.5 MT 75 hp (1498 cm³) to 1.6 MT 82 hp adds 87 cm³ and 7 hp. Stepping from 1.6 MT 82 hp to 1.6 MT 90 hp keeps 1585 cm³ and adds 8 hp. Stepping from 1.6 MT 90 hp to 1.6 MT 101 hp adds 11 hp at the same 1585 cm³.

1.5 MT 82 hp versus 1.6 MT 82 hp: same 82 hp / 60 kW, but 1498 versus 1585 cm³. The 1.5 makes more power per litre (54.7 vs 51.7 hp/L). Torque on the 1.6 MT 82 hp is 122 Nm at 2900 rpm; torque on the 1.5 MT 82 hp is not measured.

Two cars with the same name: how to tell them apart

Two 1.3 MT cars. The 65 hp version is Carburetor, 92 fuel, 4 gears, 13.5 s / 155 km/h, kerb 867 kg. The 68 hp version is Central injection (single-point or single- point), 95 fuel, 5 gears, 14.1 s / 150 km/h, kerb 890 kg. Extra 3 hp and a fifth gear do not buy a quicker 0–100 here: the 68 hp car is 0.6 s slower and 5 km/h slower on top, and 23 kg heavier (890 − 867). Torque is 100 Nm on both, at 3000 versus 2900 rpm.

Two 1.5 MT cars at 75 hp. One is 1481 cm³, Central injection (single-point or single- point), peak at 5800 rpm, torque not measured. The other is 1498 cm³, Carburetor, Front, transverse, 108 Nm at 3000, 92 fuel, peak at 5500 rpm. Both are 12 s to 100 km/h and 165 km/h. Kerb 900 kg (1481) versus 910 kg (1498). Rear brakes: not measured on the 1481; Disc on the 1498. If you want rear Disc among the 75 hp pair, the 1498 cm³ Carburetor is the one that states it.

Two 1.6 MT cars at 101 hp. Same 101 hp, 74 kW, 6000 rpm, 128 Nm at 4000, 1585 cm³. The Carburetor / 92 car: 10 s, 180 km/h, kerb 950 kg, gross 1400 kg, rear Disc, ground clearance not measured. The Central injection (single-point or single- point) car: 12.7 s, 160 km/h, kerb not measured, rear brakes not measured, clearance 145 mm, and the only 1.6 with a full mpg set (8.8 / 5.7 / 6.9). Same peak power, 2.7 s and 20 km/h apart. If the goal is the lowest 0–100 and highest top speed in the whole model, take the 1.6 MT 101 hp Carburetor. If the goal is a measured consumption figure on a 101 hp 1.6, take the Central injection 101 hp.

Performance and economy (mpg)

Measured 0–100 km/h, fastest to slowest:

1. 1.6 MT 101 hp Carburetor — 10 s, 180 km/h 2. 1.6 MT 82 hp — 11 s, 170 km/h 3. 1.6 MT 90 hp — 11.3 s, 175 km/h 4. 1.5 MT 75 hp (both 1481 and 1498) — 12 s, 165 km/h 5. 1.6 MT 101 hp Central injection — 12.7 s, 160 km/h 6. 1.3 MT 65 hp — 13.5 s, 155 km/h 7. 1.3 MT 68 hp — 14.1 s, 150 km/h 8. 1.7 MT 60 hp — 18.9 s, 150 km/h

Not measured for 0–100 and top speed: 1.5 MT 79 hp, 1.5 MT 82 hp, 1.6 MT 95 hp.

The 1.6 MT 90 hp is 0.3 s slower than the 1.6 MT 82 hp but 5 km/h faster on top (175 vs 170). Peak torque on both is 122 Nm, but at 4250 rpm (90 hp, Distributed injection (multi-point)) versus 2900 rpm (82 hp, Central injection (single-point or single- point)). The 90 hp car asks for more revs for the same newton-metres.

Fuel consumption is measured on two versions only:

• 1.3 MT 68 hp: city 7.7, highway 4.9, combined 6.7 L/100 km
• 1.6 MT 101 hp Central injection: city 8.8, highway 5.7, combined 6.9 L/100 km

The 101 hp injection 1.6 uses 1.1 L/100 km more in the city and 0.2 L/100 km more combined than the 68 hp 1.3. CO2 is not measured on any version. Eco class is not measured on any version. On the other ten versions, city / highway / combined are not measured — that does not mean they use no fuel; the figure is absent.

Tank is 55 L on all 12. Range from measured combined figures: 55 / 6.7 × 100 ≈ 821 km on 1.3 MT 68 hp; 55 / 6.9 × 100 ≈ 797 km on 1.6 MT 101 hp Central injection. Highway-only: 55 / 4.9 × 100 ≈ 1122 km versus 55 / 5.7 × 100 ≈ 965 km.

Dimensions, weight, reliability of the chassis numbers

Kerb weight, where measured:

• 1.3 MT 65 hp — 867 kg (lightest), gross 1290 kg (payload 423 kg)
• 1.3 MT 68 hp — 890 kg, gross not measured
• 1.5 MT 75 hp (1481) — 900 kg, gross not measured
• 1.5 MT 75 hp (1498) — 910 kg, gross 1400 kg (payload 490 kg)
• 1.7 MT 60 hp — 931 kg, gross 1400 kg (payload 469 kg)
• 1.6 MT 101 hp Carburetor — 950 kg (heaviest measured), gross 1400 kg (payload 450 kg)

Not measured kerb: 1.5 MT 79 hp, 1.5 MT 82 hp, 1.6 MT 82 hp, 1.6 MT 90 hp, 1.6 MT 95 hp, 1.6 MT 101 hp Central injection.

Weight per horsepower (kerb ÷ hp):

• 1.6 MT 101 hp Carburetor: 950 / 101 ≈ 9.4 kg/hp (best measured)
• 1.5 MT 75 hp (1481): 900 / 75 = 12.0 kg/hp
• 1.5 MT 75 hp (1498): 910 / 75 ≈ 12.1 kg/hp
• 1.3 MT 68 hp: 890 / 68 ≈ 13.1 kg/hp
• 1.3 MT 65 hp: 867 / 65 ≈ 13.3 kg/hp
• 1.7 MT 60 hp: 931 / 60 ≈ 15.5 kg/hp (worst measured)

Ground clearance 145 mm is stated on eight versions (both 1.3 except the 65 hp, both 1.5 except the 1498 cm³ 75 hp, 1.5 MT 79 and 82, all 1.6 except the 101 hp Carburetor). Not measured on 1.3 MT 65 hp, 1.5 MT 75 hp (1498), 1.6 MT 101 hp Carburetor, 1.7 MT 60 hp. Wheel sizes are not measured on any version.

Front suspension Independent, spring on all 12. Rear Independent, spring on all except 1.5 MT 75 hp (1481) and 1.6 MT 101 hp Central injection, where rear suspension is not measured. Front brakes Disc on all 12. Rear Drum on most; rear Disc on 1.5 MT 75 hp (1498 cm³) and 1.6 MT 101 hp Carburetor. Rear brakes not measured on 1.5 MT 75 hp (1481) and 1.6 MT 101 hp Central injection.

Problems and reliability are not a numbered field in this data. What is measured for “what can fail differently” is fuel system and brakes: Carburetor versus Central injection (single-point or single- point) versus Distributed injection (multi-point); rear Drum versus rear Disc. Injection type is not measured on 1.5 MT 79 hp, 1.6 MT 95 hp, and 1.7 MT 60 hp.

Which version to choose

Want the strongest measured performance. 1.6 MT 101 hp Carburetor: 10 s, 180 km/h, 128 Nm, 9.4 kg/hp, rear Disc, 92 fuel. That is 3.5 s and 25 km/h better than the 1.3 MT 65 hp, and 8.9 s / 30 km/h better than the 1.7 MT Diesel.

Want 101 hp but a measured mpg figure. 1.6 MT 101 hp Central injection (single-point or single- point): same 101 hp / 128 Nm, but 12.7 s / 160 km/h and 8.8 / 5.7 / 6.9. You give up 2.7 s and 20 km/h versus the Carburetor 101.

Want the only multi-point injection. 1.6 MT 90 hp: Distributed injection (multi-point), 90 hp, 11.3 s, 175 km/h, 122 Nm at 4250. Versus the 1.6 MT 82 hp you gain 8 hp and 5 km/h, lose 0.3 s on 0–100, and move peak torque 1350 rpm higher.

Want a 1.6 without stretching to 101 hp. 1.6 MT 82 hp: 11 s / 170 km/h, 122 Nm at 2900 — the second-quickest 0–100 in the table. 1.6 MT 95 hp: 95 hp at 5000, 95 fuel, but 0–100, top speed, torque, and consumption are not measured, so you cannot rank it on those axes.

Want a 1.5. Four cars share the name 1.5 MT. Ranked by power: 75 hp (two displacements), 79 hp (122 Nm at 2900 — same torque as the 1.6 MT 82 hp, in 1498 cm³ instead of 1585), 82 hp. Only the two 75 hp cars have 0–100 (12 s) and top speed (165 km/h). The 79 hp and 82 hp 1.5s are not measured on 0–100, top speed, or consumption. The 1.5 MT 75 hp (1498) is the 1.5 with rear Disc and a stated 108 Nm.

Want the lightest / cheapest-to-specify small petrol. 1.3 MT 65 hp: 867 kg, 4 gears, Carburetor, 92, 13.5 s / 155 km/h. If you need 5 gears and a full mpg set, take 1.3 MT 68 hp instead, knowing it is 23 kg heavier and 0.6 s / 5 km/h slower.

Want Diesel. Only 1.7 MT 60 hp: 1697 cm³, 60 hp, 103 Nm at 3000, 18.9 s, 150 km/h, kerb 931 kg. It is 41 hp down on the 101 hp 1.6 Carburetor and 8.9 s slower to 100. Fuel consumption on this Diesel is not measured, so you cannot claim it is cheaper to run from these figures.

Want rear discs. Only two versions state rear Disc: 1.5 MT 75 hp (1498 cm³) and 1.6 MT 101 hp Carburetor.

There is no Automatic, no all-wheel drive, and no second generation in this catalogue. The choice is which of these 12 Manual FWD Sedan rows matches the job: 1.6 MT 101 hp Carburetor for the stopwatch, 1.3 MT 68 hp for the only small-petrol mpg sheet, 1.7 MT for Diesel, 1.6 MT 90 hp for Distributed injection (multi-point).
