The 2.3 MT and 2.3 AT engines have two valves per cylinder, a Carburetor, and an 89.3 × 90 bore-and-stroke specification. Their engine position is not measured, compression ratio is not measured, and fuel grade is not measured.
The 3.5 MT and 3.5 AT use a Front, longitudinal engine installation and Distributed injection (multi-point). Each has four valves per cylinder, a 9.1 compression ratio, a 93.4 × 85 bore-and-stroke specification, and uses 95 fuel.
The 3.1 MT and 3.1 AT have a Front, longitudinal engine position and two valves per cylinder. Their compression ratio is 20, their bore-and-stroke specification is 95.4 × 107, and their fuel is Diesel. The fuel-supply system is not measured.
All six Holden Rodeo versions share Independent, torsion front suspension and Dependent, leaf spring rear suspension. They also use Disc front brakes and Drum rear brakes.
Holden Rodeo Horsepower, Performance and Fuel Economy
The 2.3 MT and 2.3 AT each produce 110 hp at 5,500 rpm. Their 0–100 performance, top speed, city fuel consumption, highway fuel consumption, and combined fuel consumption are not measured.
The 3.5 MT and 3.5 AT each produce 215 hp at 5,400 rpm and 312 Nm at 3,000 rpm. Their 0–100 performance and top speed are not measured. City, highway, and combined fuel consumption are also not measured.
The 3.1 MT and 3.1 AT each produce 125 hp at 3,600 rpm and 260 Nm at 2,000 rpm. Their 0–100 performance, top speed, city fuel consumption, highway fuel consumption, and combined fuel consumption are not measured.
CO₂ output and environmental class are not measured for the 2.3 MT, 2.3 AT, 3.5 MT, 3.5 AT, 3.1 MT, or 3.1 AT. Therefore, this catalogue data does not support a numerical Holden Rodeo fuel-economy or emissions comparison.
Holden Rodeo Dimensions and Weight
Exterior dimensions, including overall length, width, height, wheelbase, and pickup-bed dimensions, are not measured in the supplied catalogue data. Kerb weight, gross weight, ground clearance, fuel-tank capacity, and wheel sizes are also not measured for every listed version.
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Ground clearance | Fuel tank | Wheel sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.3 MT | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
| 2.3 AT | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
| 3.5 MT | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
| 3.5 AT | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
| 3.1 MT | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
| 3.1 AT | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
Which Holden Rodeo Version to Choose
Choose between the 2.3 MT and 2.3 AT if the 2,255 cc Gasoline engine and 110 hp output meet the requirement. Their engines and RWD configuration are identical in the supplied figures; the difference is the gearbox. The 2.3 MT has a Manual 5-speed gearbox, while the 2.3 AT has an Automatic 4-speed gearbox.
The 3.5 MT and 3.5 AT offer the highest output in the range. At 215 hp, each has 105 hp more than the 2.3 versions and 90 hp more than the 3.1 versions. Their 312 Nm is 52 Nm above the 260 Nm delivered by the 3.1 versions. The 3.5 MT pairs this engine with a Manual 5-speed gearbox, while the 3.5 AT uses an Automatic 4-speed gearbox.
The 3.1 MT and 3.1 AT are the Diesel choices and the only versions with Turbo. Both produce 125 hp and 260 Nm, with peak torque available at 2,000 rpm. That torque speed is 1,000 rpm lower than the 3,000 rpm torque peak of the 3.5 versions. Choose the 3.1 MT for a Manual 5-speed gearbox or the 3.1 AT for an Automatic 4-speed gearbox.
Every listed Holden Rodeo is RWD, so drive layout does not distinguish the versions. Fuel-consumption, acceleration, top-speed, dimensions, weight, ground-clearance, and tank-capacity figures are not measured; those parameters cannot be used for a numerical choice from this dataset.
