Engines and specs

Cylinders are 4 Inline on every version. Layout of the engine is Front, longitudinal where measured (not measured on all 2 generation Gasoline versions).

2.2 diesel displacement is 2238 cm³ in both generations (87 hp). 2.8 diesel is 2771 cm³ (110 hp), 23 hp above 2.2 and 35 hp below 3.0. 3.0 diesel is 2999 cm³ (145 hp), 58 hp above 2.2 and +111 Nm versus 2.2 (294 vs 183). Peak torque of 3.0 is at 2000 rpm versus 2300 on 2.8 and 4000 on 2.2. 3 generation 2.3 120 hp is 10 hp above the 110 hp 2.3 and 9 kW above it (89 vs 82); peak power rpm drops from 5500 to 4600. 2 generation 2.3 MT 110 hp is listed as 81 kW; 3 generation 2.3 110 hp is 82 kW. 2.0 MT is the smallest engine in the set: 1949 cm³, 86 hp, 1 hp below 2.2 diesel.

Valves per cylinder: 2 on 3 generation 2.2, 2.8 and both 2.3 tunes; 4 on 3.0 MT and 3.0 AT; not measured on 2 generation 2.0 MT and 2.2 MT; 2 on 2 generation 2.3 MT. Compression: 17 on 2.8 AT and 2.8 MT; 19 on 3.0 AT; not measured on 3.0 MT and all other versions.

Performance and economy (mpg)

For every version in both generations, 0–100 is not measured, top speed is not measured, city / highway / combined consumption is not measured, CO2 is not measured, eco class is not measured. There is no mpg figure in this catalogue to rank versions on fuel use. Rank by measured output only: 3.0 MT and 3.0 AT lead at 145 hp and 294 Nm; 3 generation 2.3 120 hp is next among gasoline; 2.8 diesel and 2.3 110 hp share 110 hp, with 2.8 carrying 226 Nm (gasoline 110 hp torque not measured in 3 generation and 2 generation); 2.2 diesel is 87 hp / 183 Nm; 2.0 MT is 86 hp with torque not measured.

Dimensions and weight

Kerb weight is not measured, gross weight is not measured, ground clearance is not measured, and wheel size is not measured on all 22 versions. Fuel tank is 63 l on all ten 3 generation versions and not measured on all twelve 2 generation versions. Length, width, height, wheelbase and single-cab dimensions are not measured (this catalogue lists only Pickup double-cab).

Chassis constants where measured: front Independent, torsion; rear Dependent, leaf spring (or not measured on six 2 generation rows); front Disc; rear Drum on six 2 generation rows and not measured elsewhere.

Problems and reliability

Fault lists, engine-number location, mounting kits and reliability scores are not measured in this dataset. What is measured for durability-related hardware: Diesel Turbo on 2.2 / 2.8 / 3.0; Gasoline boost No; Carburetor on 2.0 MT, 2 generation 2.3 MT, and 3 generation 2.3 110 hp; Distributed injection (multi-point) on 3 generation 2.3 120 hp.

Which version to choose

• Highest measured power and torque: 3 generation 3.0 MT or 3.0 AT — 145 hp, 294 Nm, 2999 cm³, 4 valves, AWD, tank 63 l. Same engine; choose Manual 5 (3.0 MT) or Automatic 4 (3.0 AT). Compression 19 is measured only on 3.0 AT.
• Mid diesel: 2.8 AT / 2.8 MT — 110 hp, 226 Nm (+43 Nm vs 2.2, −68 Nm vs 3.0), compression 17, 93 × 102.
• Smallest diesel: 2.2 AT / 2.2 MT in 3 generation (Automatic 4 or Manual 5, AWD, 63 l) or 2 generation 2.2 MT (Manual 4, tank not measured) in AWD or RWD. Output is the same 87 hp / 183 Nm / 2238 cm³.
• Gasoline without turbo, later injection: 3 generation 2.3 MT 120 hp or 2.3 AT 120 hp — 204 Nm, fuel 95, Distributed injection (multi-point).
• Gasoline carburetor 2.3: 3 generation 2.3 AT / 2.3 MT 110 hp (fuel 92, torque not measured, AWD, 63 l) or 2 generation 2.3 MT 110 hp (81 kW, Manual 4, fuel not measured, AWD or RWD).
• Smallest gasoline: 2 generation 2.0 MT 86 hp, 1949 cm³, 87 × 82, Carburetor, AWD or RWD.
• Only RWD in the set: 2 generation 2.0 MT, 2.3 MT and 2.2 MT rows labelled RWD. All 3 generation versions are AWD.
