Great Wall Peri: which version to buy
The Great Wall Peri was sold in one generation (1 generation, 2008-09-01 to 2010-12-31) and one version: 1.3 MT. There is no second engine, no automatic, no all-wheel-drive catalogue line, and no later restyle generation in this data, so a buyer is not choosing between Peri trims — the choice is whether 1.3 MT itself matches the job.
The Great Wall Peri was sold in one generation (1 generation, 2008-09-01 to 2010-12-31) and one version: 1.3 MT. There is no second engine, no automatic, no all-wheel-drive catalogue line, and no later restyle generation in this data, so a buyer is not choosing between Peri trims — the choice is whether 1.3 MT itself matches the job. That version is a Mini 5-doors, Gasoline, 88 hp (65 kW) at 6000 rpm, 115 Nm at 4200 – 5200 rpm, 1342 cm³, Manual with 5 gears, FWD. Kerb weight and gross weight are both 1015 kg. 0–100 is 14 s, top speed 160 km/h. City, highway, mixed consumption, CO2, eco class, and wheel sizes are not measured.
Specs that decide the buy: 1.3 MT only
| Version | hp | Nm | cm³ | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.3 MT | 88 | 115 | 1342 | Gasoline | 4 | Inline | No | Manual | FWD |
1.3 MT is the entire buy list. Power is 88 hp from 1342 cm³: 88 / 1.342 ≈ 65.6 hp per litre, or 65 / 1.342 ≈ 48.4 kW per litre. Torque is 115 Nm from the same 1342 cm³: 115 / 1.342 ≈ 85.7 Nm per litre. Peak power sits at 6000 rpm; the torque band is 4200 – 5200 rpm, a 1000 rpm window, 1800 rpm below the power peak. Compression is 10.3. Bore and stroke are 76 × 83. Fuel in the data is 95. Induction is Distributed injection (multi-point). Boost is No. Engine placement is Front, transverse. Cylinders: 4, Inline, 4 valves per cylinder.
What extra money cannot buy on this page: a second Peri engine, a second gearbox, or a second drive layout. 1.3 MT is Manual, 5, FWD. There is no AT line and no RWD/AWD line in the data to spend “more” on.
Engine: what 88 hp and 115 Nm actually buy
For 1.3 MT, 88 hp and 115 Nm are not two competing tunes of the same name. There is only one 1.3 MT, so you do not split two same-named rows by horsepower.
Arithmetic on the given numbers:
- 1 hp of 1.3 MT is 1015 / 88 ≈ 11.53 kg of kerb mass.
- 1 kW is 1015 / 65 ≈ 15.62 kg.
- 1 Nm is 1015 / 115 ≈ 8.83 kg.
- Displacement per cylinder: 1342 / 4 = 335.5 cm³.
- Stroke minus bore: 83 − 76 = 7 mm (longer stroke than bore on the given 76 × 83).
Because boost is No, the 65.6 hp/l figure is the naturally aspirated specific output in this catalogue, not a turbo figure. Because the gearbox is Manual and 5, there is no sixth ratio and no automatic to compare shift count against.
MPG and fuel: what is measured, what is not
Fuel type for 1.3 MT is Gasoline, grade 95. Tank volume is 35 L.
City consumption: not measured. Highway consumption: not measured. Mixed consumption: not measured. CO2: not measured. Eco class: not measured.
A range estimate from tank size alone is not a consumption figure: without L/100 km in the data, litres in the 35 L tank do not convert to kilometres. Do not treat “small tank” as measured economy.
Performance: 0–100 and top speed of 1.3 MT
1.3 MT reaches 100 km/h in 14 s and is limited in the data to 160 km/h.
Relative to the power and mass already given:
- Seconds per horsepower on the 0–100 run: 14 / 88 ≈ 0.159 s per hp.
- Top speed per hp: 160 / 88 ≈ 1.82 km/h per hp.
- Top speed versus the 0–100 time: 160 / 14 ≈ 11.4 km/h of listed top speed per second of the sprint.
There is no second Peri version with a different 0–100 or a different top speed, so you cannot buy a “faster Peri” inside this model. If 14 s and 160 km/h are not enough, the data do not offer another Peri generation or another 1.3 MT power rating to step up to.
Generations: what changed (and what did not)
1 generation ran 2008-09-01 to 2010-12-31. Body: Mini 5-doors. Versions in that generation: 1.
There is no second generation in the data, so there is no “which generation to buy” split on engines, mass, or clearance. Production window from start date to stop date is the same for the generation and for 1.3 MT: 2008-09-01–2010-12-31. No restyle generation is listed separately, and none should be invented as an 11th or 2nd generation.
What a later-year Peri does not buy versus an early-year Peri, on this data: extra hp, extra Nm, a different gearbox, a different drive, a different body, or a different kerb weight. All of those fields exist once, on 1.3 MT.
Dimensions, weight, ground clearance, wheels
Kerb weight 1.3 MT: 1015 kg. Gross weight 1.3 MT: 1015 kg. Difference (gross − kerb): 1015 − 1015 = 0 kg in the given numbers. Payload is therefore not measured as a positive allowance; the two masses are identical in the source.
Ground clearance: 145 mm. Tank: 35 L. Wheel sizes: not measured.
Front suspension: Independent, spring. Rear suspension: Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem. Front brakes: Disc. Rear brakes: Drum.
Clearance 145 mm is the only ground-clearance number in the catalogue for Peri. You cannot buy a “higher” or “lower” Peri version. Wheels cannot be compared across versions because sizes are not measured.
Mass versus performance again: 1015 kg at 88 hp is ≈ 11.53 kg/hp. With gross equal to kerb in the data, the same ratio applies to the listed full mass: 1015 / 88 ≈ 11.53 kg/hp. That is not a second weighing; it is the same two numbers.
Reliability and problems: what this catalogue does not measure
This source does not list failure rates, service intervals, known defects, or parts prices. Reliability and problems are not measured here. Do not treat the short production window (2008-09-01 to 2010-12-31) as a reliability score; it is only the on-sale interval for 1 generation and for 1.3 MT.
What you can still use when shopping a used Peri is the identity of the only version: if the car is a Peri in this catalogue, the mechanical line to match is 1.3 MT — Gasoline, 1342 cm³, 88 hp, 115 Nm, Manual, 5, FWD, Mini 5-doors.
Which version to choose
Choose 1.3 MT if those numbers are the car you want. There is no other Peri version in the data to prefer.
1.3 MT is the buy when you want:
- Mini 5-doors body in 1 generation (2008-09-01–2010-12-31);
- Gasoline 4 Inline, 1342 cm³, boost No, Front, transverse, Distributed injection (multi-point);
- 88 hp (65 kW) at 6000 rpm and 115 Nm at 4200 – 5200 rpm;
- Manual, 5, FWD;
- 14 s to 100 km/h and 160 km/h top speed;
- 1015 kg kerb, 1015 kg gross, 145 mm clearance, 35 L tank.
Do not choose Peri expecting a second engine, an automatic, measured mpg, measured CO2, a measured eco class, or listed wheel sizes: those are not measured or not present as extra versions.
There is no “extra money” comparison between Peri versions because there is only 1 modification. Arithmetic cannot invent a more powerful Peri; 88 hp and 115 Nm are the ceiling and the floor of this model’s power and torque. Specific output stays ≈ 65.6 hp/l. Weight per hp stays ≈ 11.53 kg/hp. Tank stays 35 L. Clearance stays 145 mm.
If you need a different displacement, a different gearbox name, a different drive, or a different generation count, this model’s data do not contain that row. The only named version to specify on a listing, a parts order, or a comparison with another make is 1.3 MT.
