Kia Concord: Which Version to Buy and Why
The Kia Concord catalogue contains one generation and one version, so there is no choice between engines, gearboxes, body styles, or generations. The only listed option is the 2.0 MT, a Sedan produced from 1987 to 1995. It combines a 1,998 cc Gasoline engine with 99 hp, 167 Nm, a 5-speed Manual gearbox, and FWD.
The Kia Concord catalogue contains one generation and one version, so there is no choice between engines, gearboxes, body styles, or generations. The only listed option is the 2.0 MT, a Sedan produced from 1987 to 1995. It combines a 1,998 cc Gasoline engine with 99 hp, 167 Nm, a 5-speed Manual gearbox, and FWD. With no alternative version in the supplied data, the buying decision is straightforward: choose the 2.0 MT if its performance, fuel consumption, weight, and chassis specifications suit your needs.
Kia Concord generations compared
The Kia Concord has one generation in the catalogue: 1 generation, produced from 1987 to 1995. It was offered as a Sedan and contains one listed modification, the 2.0 MT.
Because there is only one generation, there are no later Concord generations to compare for changes in power, economy, body type, drivetrain, or transmission. No restyling is listed separately within 1 generation. The available data therefore supports a comparison of the 2.0 MT’s specifications against its own priorities—performance, economy, weight, and running range—rather than against another Concord.
Kia Concord 2.0 MT engine and specs
The 2.0 MT uses a 1,998 cc Gasoline engine producing 99 hp at 5,000 rpm and 167 Nm at 2,500 rpm. It has 4 cylinders in an Inline layout, with 2 valves per cylinder and no boost. Its fuel system is a Carburetor, its compression ratio is 9.1, and its bore and stroke are 78 × 78.4 mm. The specified fuel is 95.
On the figures provided, the engine develops approximately 49.5 hp per litre. The 167 Nm output corresponds to approximately 83.6 Nm per litre. These calculated values describe the output relative to displacement; they do not create a comparison with another Concord engine because no second engine is listed.
| Version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0 MT | 99 hp | 167 Nm | 1,998 cc | Gasoline | 4 | Inline | No | 5-speed Manual | FWD |
The 2.0 MT is therefore the only choice for buyers who want a Kia Concord from this catalogue. There is no Automatic, AWD, boosted engine, or alternative displacement in the supplied version list.
Performance, fuel consumption, and mpg data
The Kia Concord 2.0 MT accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 12 seconds and has a top speed of 170 km/h. Those are the only performance figures available, so there is no faster or slower Concord version to rank against it.
Fuel consumption for the 2.0 MT is 11.5 l/100 km in the city, 7 l/100 km on the highway, and 8.5 l/100 km combined. City use consumes 4.5 l/100 km more than highway driving, while the combined figure is 1.5 l/100 km above the highway result and 3 l/100 km below the city result.
| Version | 0–100 km/h | Top speed | City | Highway | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0 MT | 12 s | 170 km/h | 11.5 l/100 km | 7 l/100 km | 8.5 l/100 km |
CO₂ emissions are not measured, and the ecological class is not measured. The data does not provide any additional mpg measurement.
Dimensions, weight, clearance, and fuel tank
The Kia Concord 2.0 MT has a kerb weight of 1,150 kg and a gross weight of 1,600 kg. The 450 kg difference between gross and kerb weight represents the gap between those two listed limits.
Relative to its 99 hp output, the 2.0 MT carries approximately 11.6 kg of kerb weight per horsepower. Calculated the other way, it produces approximately 86.1 hp per tonne of kerb weight. Since there is only one version, these ratios cannot identify a lighter or more powerful Concord alternative.
Ground clearance is 155 mm, and the fuel tank holds 50 litres. Wheel sizes are not measured. Overall length, width, height, and wheelbase are also not measured in the supplied data.
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Ground clearance | Fuel tank | Wheel sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0 MT | 1,150 kg | 1,600 kg | 155 mm | 50 l | not measured |
Suspension, brakes, reliability, and problems
The Kia Concord 2.0 MT has Independent, spring suspension at both the front and rear. Braking is handled by Ventilated disc brakes at the front and Disc brakes at the rear.
Reliability is not measured, and specific problems are not measured in the supplied data. There are no figures for repair frequency, component life, maintenance cost, or failure rates, so the 2.0 MT cannot be rated for reliability from this catalogue entry alone.
Which Kia Concord version should you buy?
Buy the 2.0 MT if you specifically want the listed Kia Concord, because it is the sole available version across the model’s only generation. Its defining figures are 99 hp, 167 Nm, a 1,998 cc Gasoline engine, a 5-speed Manual gearbox, FWD, 12-second acceleration to 100 km/h, and combined consumption of 8.5 l/100 km.
There is no more powerful engine to pay extra for, no more economical Concord version in the data, and no alternative gearbox or drivetrain. Likewise, there is no newer generation that changes the body, performance, or mechanical specification. The practical decision is therefore whether the 2.0 MT itself meets your requirements: 170 km/h maximum speed, 155 mm ground clearance, 1,150 kg kerb weight, and a 50-litre tank define the only available package.
In short, the 2.0 MT is not merely the recommended version—it is the complete Kia Concord choice represented by the data. Any comparison with another Concord engine, trim, transmission, or generation would require specifications that are not present here.
