Haima Family: which version to buy
If you want the fastest, lightest, and most economical Haima Family in this dataset, buy 1.6 MT. If you want the same 96 hp gasoline engine without a clutch, buy 1.6 AT and accept slower 0–100, a lower top speed, extra kerb weight, and higher consumption.
If you want the fastest, lightest, and most economical Haima Family in this dataset, buy 1.6 MT. If you want the same 96 hp gasoline engine without a clutch, buy 1.6 AT and accept slower 0–100, a lower top speed, extra kerb weight, and higher consumption. Across 1 generation (2000–2006), 2 generation (2006–2010), and 2 generation restyling (2010–2012), those two names keep the same measured numbers. A 2003, 2007, 2008, 2010, or 2011 Haima Family car is therefore the same mechanical choice: manual or automatic — not a different engine.
That is the whole decision. The sections below show the arithmetic.
Generations: what actually changed between years
People search Haima Family 2003, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, and even 2018. In this catalogue the model runs 2000-01-01 to 2012-12-31. There is no 2018 production window here. There are two generations; restyling sits inside the second.
1 generation (2000–2006), Sedan, 2 versions. Both 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT are already in the line. The gasoline 1598 cm³ inline 4 with 4 valves per cylinder, no boost, front transverse layout, multi-point injection, FWD, 50 l tank, 150 mm ground clearance, independent spring suspension front and rear, ventilated disc front brakes and disc rear brakes are all present from the first year. A 2003 Haima Family is this generation. Choosing a first-generation car is not choosing a weaker engine; it is choosing the same 96 hp / 140 Nm pair as later years, with the same two gearboxes.
2 generation (2006–2010), Sedan, 2 versions, plus restyling 2010–2012. The second generation again lists 1.6 AT and 1.6 MT. Restyling (2010–2012) lists the same two names with the same power, torque, displacement, fuel, cylinders, layout, boost, drive, weights, tank, clearance, and the same 0–100 / top speed / consumption figures. A 2007 or 2008 Haima Family is 2 generation before restyling. A 2010 or 2011 Haima Family may be late 2 generation or restyling depending on the exact date in 2010; mechanically, the numbers in this dataset do not split them.
What the extra generation buys, in numbers: power stays 96 hp and 71 kW at 5000 rpm. Torque stays 140 Nm at 4000 rpm. Displacement stays 1598 cm³. 1.6 MT kerb weight stays 1265 kg; 1.6 AT stays 1285 kg. Gross weight stays 1665 kg. Ground clearance stays 150 mm. Fuel tank stays 50 l. Wheel sizes are not measured in any generation. There is no measured power gain, weight cut, or economy gain from generation 1 to restyling. Year of manufacture is not a performance upgrade in this data.
Engine and specs: the two names, not six different cars
Every version is a gasoline 1598 cm³ inline 4, 4 valves per cylinder, no boost, front transverse, distributed injection (multi-point), FWD. Name the versions exactly as in the database.
| Version | Generation block | hp | Nm | cm³ | Fuel | Cylinders / layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.6 MT | 1 generation 2000–2006 | 96 | 140 | 1598 | Gasoline | 4 Inline | No | Manual 5 | FWD |
| 1.6 AT | 1 generation 2000–2006 | 96 | 140 | 1598 | Gasoline | 4 Inline | No | Automatic 4 | FWD |
| 1.6 AT | 2 generation 2006–2010 | 96 | 140 | 1598 | Gasoline | 4 Inline | No | Automatic 4 | FWD |
| 1.6 MT | 2 generation 2006–2010 | 96 | 140 | 1598 | Gasoline | 4 Inline | No | Manual 5 | FWD |
| 1.6 MT | 2 generation restyling 2010–2012 | 96 | 140 | 1598 | Gasoline | 4 Inline | No | Manual 5 | FWD |
| 1.6 AT | 2 generation restyling 2010–2012 | 96 | 140 | 1598 | Gasoline | 4 Inline | No | Automatic 4 | FWD |
Same name, same power: there are no two 1.6 MT or two 1.6 AT with different horsepower. You do not need a 299 vs 309 hp rule here. Distinguishing them by year is a used-car condition question, not a spec question.
Power per litre (all versions): 96 / 1.598 ≈ 60.1 hp per litre. That figure does not move with generation or gearbox.
Torque per litre: 140 / 1.598 ≈ 87.6 Nm per litre. Same for 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT.
The only spec fork is gearbox: Manual 5 versus Automatic 4. Everything else in the engine table is shared.
Performance, mpg, and what the automatic costs
Figures below are the catalogue measurements. CO2 and eco class are not measured on any version.
1.6 MT (all three blocks: 2000–2006, 2006–2010, 2010–2012): 0–100 in 11.3 s, top speed 175 km/h, city 9 / highway 6 / mixed 7.5 (same units as in the data: litres per 100 km in this catalogue).
1.6 AT (all three blocks): 0–100 in 13 s, top speed 170 km/h, city 10 / highway 6.8 / mixed 8.3.
Arithmetic on those numbers:
- 0–100: Automatic is 1.7 s slower (13 − 11.3). That is about 15% longer to 100 km/h (1.7 / 11.3).
- Top speed: Automatic is 5 km/h slower (175 − 170).
- City fuel: Automatic uses 1 l/100 km more (10 − 9), about 11% more.
- Highway: Automatic uses 0.8 l/100 km more (6.8 − 6), about 13% more.
- Mixed: Automatic uses 0.8 l/100 km more (8.3 − 7.5), about 11% more.
- 50 l tank range, mixed, arithmetic only: 1.6 MT 50 / 7.5 × 100 ≈ 667 km; 1.6 AT 50 / 8.3 × 100 ≈ 602 km. The manual’s tank lasts about 65 km farther on the mixed figure. City: 50 / 9 × 100 ≈ 556 km vs 50 / 10 × 100 = 500 km. Highway: 50 / 6 × 100 ≈ 833 km vs 50 / 6.8 × 100 ≈ 735 km.
If the search is “Haima Family mpg”: mixed 7.5 versus 8.3 is the whole story. No generation improves those numbers in this dataset.
Dimensions, weight, interior, ground clearance
Wheel sizes: not measured on every version. Interior dimensions (cabin length, rear knee room, boot litres): not measured. Ground clearance is 150 mm on every 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT. Fuel tank is 50 l on every version. Gross weight is 1665 kg on every version.
Kerb weight is the only mass split:
- 1.6 MT: 1265 kg
- 1.6 AT: 1285 kg
The automatic is 20 kg heavier. Payload from the two masses: 1665 − 1265 = 400 kg on 1.6 MT; 1665 − 1285 = 380 kg on 1.6 AT. The manual carries 20 kg more payload on paper.
Weight per horsepower:
- 1.6 MT: 1265 / 96 ≈ 13.2 kg/hp
- 1.6 AT: 1285 / 96 ≈ 13.4 kg/hp
The 0.2 kg/hp gap is small; the 1.7 s 0–100 gap is the number that matters for “which feels quicker.”
Searches for Haima Family interior cannot be answered with cabin millimetres here: those values are not measured. Body type is Sedan in every generation. Independent spring suspension front and rear, ventilated disc front / disc rear do not change by version.
Which version to choose
Choose 1.6 MT if you want every better measured number this catalogue has: 11.3 s vs 13 s, 175 vs 170 km/h, 7.5 vs 8.3 mixed, 1265 vs 1285 kg, 400 vs 380 kg payload, ~667 vs ~602 km mixed tank arithmetic. You shift a Manual 5 yourself. Power is not lower than the automatic: both are 96 hp and 140 Nm.
Choose 1.6 AT if you want Automatic 4 and FWD with the same gasoline 1598 cm³ engine. You pay 1.7 s, 5 km/h, 0.8 l/100 km mixed, and 20 kg. There is no extra horsepower, no extra torque, no extra tank, no extra clearance.
Do not choose by generation for performance. 1 generation, 2 generation, and 2 generation restyling repeat the same two rows. A 2003 1.6 MT matches a 2011 1.6 MT on hp, Nm, 0–100, top speed, consumption, weights, tank, and clearance in this data. A 2008 1.6 AT matches a 2010 restyling 1.6 AT the same way.
Do not buy against a 2018 Haima Family in this catalogue — production in the data ends 2012-12-31.
Ouedkniss / used listings: this page has no prices. Compare any advert to the table: if it is 1.6 MT, expect 96 hp, 11.3 s, 7.5 mixed, 1265 kg; if 1.6 AT, 96 hp, 13 s, 8.3 mixed, 1285 kg. Any other claim is outside this dataset.
Reliability / problems: not measured here. Specs do not rank generations for faults.
Short rule: same engine twice; the gearbox is the product. Buy 1.6 MT for the numbers. Buy 1.6 AT only for the Automatic 4. Year and restyling do not change the measured result.
