Overview
The Honda Quint was produced from 1980 to 1989 across two generations. The first generation, built from 1980 to 1985, was a Hatchback 5-door, while the second generation, offered from 1985 to 1989, was a Sedan. Every listed Honda Quint version uses a naturally aspirated Gasoline engine with an Inline 4-cylinder layout and FWD. The catalogue includes two first-generation versions and ten second-generation entries.
Honda Quint Generations
The first-generation Honda Quint was produced from 1980 to 1985 as a Hatchback 5-door. It has two listed versions: 1.6 MT with 80 hp and 1.6 AT with 80 hp. Both use a 1,600 cc Gasoline engine with Carburetor fuel delivery and FWD. The manual has 5 gears, whereas the automatic has 3 gears.
The second-generation Honda Quint was produced from 1985 to 1989 as a Sedan. It has ten listed entries covering 1.5 MT, 1.5 AT, and several 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT specifications. Output ranges from 76 hp to 130 hp. All listed engines are naturally aspirated Inline 4-cylinder Gasoline units mounted Front, transverse, and all versions have FWD. Depending on the engine specification, fuel delivery is either Carburetor or Distributed injection (multi-point).

The first-generation 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT use Carburetor fuel delivery. In the second generation, the 76 hp 1.5 MT and 1.5 AT and the 100 hp 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT entries also use Carburetor fuel delivery. Every 130 hp 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT entry uses Distributed injection (multi-point).
The second-generation engines have 4 valves per cylinder. Valves per cylinder are not measured for the first-generation 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT. Engine position is Front, transverse for every second-generation version and not measured for the first-generation versions.
Performance, MPG and Economy
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is not measured for any Honda Quint version in the supplied data. Top speed is also not measured for any version. City fuel consumption, highway fuel consumption, and combined fuel consumption are not measured across both generations, so an MPG figure cannot be stated from this catalogue data. CO₂ emissions and ecological class are not measured for any listed version.
Although road-performance figures are unavailable, the engine outputs allow direct comparison. The second-generation 130 hp 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT specifications produce 30 hp more than the 100 hp 1.6 versions and 54 hp more than the 76 hp 1.5 versions. Their 144 Nm output is 18 Nm above the 126 Nm of the 100 hp engine and 28 Nm above the 116 Nm of the 76 hp engine.
Honda Quint Dimensions, Weight and Tank Capacity
Overall length, width, height, wheelbase, and wheel sizes are not measured for any listed Honda Quint version. Gross weight is also not measured across the range.
For the first-generation 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT, kerb weight and tank capacity are not measured. Both have 160 mm of ground clearance.
Second-generation kerb weights range from 880 kg to 1,000 kg. The 1.5 MT weighs 880 kg, while the 1.5 AT weighs 900 kg. The four 100 hp entries have recorded kerb weights of 930 kg and 970 kg for 1.6 MT, plus 950 kg and 980 kg for 1.6 AT. The four 130 hp entries weigh 970 kg and 990 kg as 1.6 MT versions, plus 980 kg and 1,000 kg as 1.6 AT versions.
Ground clearance is 165 mm for the second-generation 1.5 MT, 1.5 AT, and every 100 hp 1.6 MT or 1.6 AT entry. It is 145 mm for every 130 hp 1.6 MT or 1.6 AT entry. The difference between these specifications is 20 mm. Every second-generation version has a 50-litre fuel tank, while wheel sizes are not measured.
Every second-generation version has Independent, spring front suspension and Semi-independent, torsion rear suspension. Ventilated disc front brakes are standard across the listed second-generation range. The 76 hp and 100 hp entries have Drum rear brakes, while the 130 hp entries have Disc rear brakes. First-generation versions have Independent, spring front suspension and Disc front brakes; rear suspension and rear brake types are not measured.
Which Honda Quint Version to Choose?
The first-generation choice is primarily between transmissions because both versions share the same 80 hp, 59 kW, 1,600 cc Gasoline engine, Carburetor fuel delivery, 160 mm ground clearance, and FWD. The 1.6 MT has a Manual gearbox with 5 gears, while the 1.6 AT has an Automatic gearbox with 3 gears.
Within the second generation, the 1.5 MT and 1.5 AT are the lowest-powered choices at 76 hp and 116 Nm. They use a 1,488 cc Gasoline engine, Carburetor fuel delivery, fuel grade 92, 165 mm of ground clearance, and a 50-litre tank. The 1.5 MT is 20 kg lighter than the 1.5 AT and pairs its engine with a Manual, 5-gear transmission instead of an Automatic, 4-gear unit.
The 100 hp 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT entries add 24 hp and 10 Nm over the 76 hp versions. They use a 1,590 cc Gasoline engine with Carburetor fuel delivery and fuel grade 95. Buyers can choose a Manual gearbox with 5 gears or an Automatic gearbox with 4 gears. All retain 165 mm of ground clearance and Drum rear brakes.
The 130 hp 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT entries offer the highest listed output at 130 hp and 144 Nm. Compared with the 100 hp specifications, they add 30 hp and 18 Nm, use Distributed injection (multi-point), and replace the Drum rear brakes with Disc rear brakes. Their 145 mm clearance is 20 mm lower than that of the 76 hp and 100 hp second-generation entries. The 1.6 MT combines this engine with a Manual, 5-gear transmission, while the 1.6 AT uses an Automatic, 4-gear transmission. Since acceleration, top speed, and fuel-consumption figures are not measured, a choice between these versions should be based on their stated output, torque, transmission, weight, clearance, fuel-delivery system, and brake specification rather than unsupported performance or economy claims.
