Kerb weight is 1510 kg, gross weight 1900 kg, ground clearance 185 mm, fuel tank 55 l. Fuel consumption, CO2, eco class, and wheel sizes are not measured. This is the Kia X-Trek catalogue entry for 2003–2006, including 2004 diesel specs; it is not a 2024 model and it is not the Kia Tasman.
People searching for “kia x-trek”, “kia x trek 2004”, “kia x trek 2004 diesel”, “kia x trek off road”, “kia x trek specs”, or “kia x trek dimensions” are looking at this Compact Van. Searches for “kia tasman x trek” and “kia tasman x trek mode” name a different Kia product; the X-Trek in this file is the 2003–2006 Compact Van only. Prices and “for sale” listings are not measured.
Kia X-Trek generations
1 generation (2003-01-01 – 2006-12-31)
1 generation of the Kia X-Trek ran from 2003-01-01 to 2006-12-31. Body type: Compact Van. Number of versions in this generation: 2 — 2.0 MT and 2.0 AT. Both versions share the same calendar window as the generation: 2003-01-01 to 2006-12-31. There is no restyling listed in the data, so this generation is one block, not a restyle counted as another generation. A 2004 Kia X-Trek sits inside this window; there is no later generation in this dataset.
Kia X-Trek engine and specs
Both versions use one powertrain family: a 1991 cm³ Diesel engine, 4 cylinders, Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, Turbo, mounted Front, transverse, fuel Diesel. Fuel system, compression ratio, and bore × stroke are not measured. Drive is FWD on both.
| Version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Gears | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0 MT | 113 hp / 83 kW @ 4000 rpm | 255 Nm @ 2000 rpm | 1991 cm³ | Diesel | 4 | Inline | Turbo | Manual | 5 | FWD |
| 2.0 AT | 113 hp / 83 kW @ 4000 rpm | 255 Nm @ 2000 rpm | 1991 cm³ | Diesel | 4 | Inline | Turbo | Automatic | 4 | FWD |
The Kia X-Trek 2004 diesel search maps to these two rows: same 113 hp Diesel turbo four, different gearbox. Engine location is Front, transverse on 2.0 MT and on 2.0 AT.
Kia X-Trek performance, mpg, and fuel economy
2.0 MT: 0–100 km/h 12.6 s, top speed 172 km/h. City consumption not measured. Highway consumption not measured. Combined consumption not measured. CO2 not measured. Eco class not measured. Tank 55 l.
2.0 AT: 0–100 km/h 13.5 s, top speed 171 km/h. City consumption not measured. Highway consumption not measured. Combined consumption not measured. CO2 not measured. Eco class not measured. Tank 55 l.
Arithmetic on the measured figures: 2.0 AT is 0.9 s slower to 100 km/h than 2.0 MT (13.5 − 12.6). Top speed of 2.0 AT is 1 km/h lower than 2.0 MT (172 − 171). MPG and l/100 km figures cannot be stated: they are not measured for both versions. Tank volume is the same 55 l, so range from a full tank is not measured.
Kia X-Trek dimensions, weight, and ground clearance
2.0 MT: kerb weight 1510 kg, gross weight 1900 kg, difference between gross and kerb 390 kg (1900 − 1510). Ground clearance 185 mm. Fuel tank 55 l. Wheel sizes not measured. Front suspension Independent, spring. Rear suspension Independent, spring. Front brakes Ventilated disc. Rear brakes Disc.
2.0 AT: kerb weight 1510 kg, gross weight 1900 kg, payload window 390 kg (1900 − 1510). Ground clearance 185 mm. Fuel tank 55 l. Wheel sizes not measured. Front suspension Independent, spring. Rear suspension Independent, spring. Front brakes Ventilated disc. Rear brakes Disc.
Dimensions such as length, width, height, and wheelbase are not measured. For “kia x trek off road” the measured figure is ground clearance 185 mm on both versions; there is no all-wheel-drive version in this file — drive is FWD on 2.0 MT and 2.0 AT.
Kia X-Trek reliability, problems, and what is not measured
This catalogue does not list fault rates, recall counts, or reliability scores for the Kia X-Trek. Those values are not measured. What is measured is the mechanical layout shared by both versions: Diesel Turbo, 4 Inline cylinders, Front, transverse, Independent, spring suspension front and rear, Ventilated disc front brakes, Disc rear brakes, FWD. Fuel system, compression ratio, bore × stroke, consumption, CO2, eco class, and wheels are not measured — absence here means the figure was not supplied, not that the car has no tank, wheels, or exhaust.
A 2024 Kia X-Trek is not in this dataset. Kia Tasman X-Trek Mode is not a generation or version of this Compact Van in the data.
Which Kia X-Trek version to choose
The two versions are 2.0 MT and 2.0 AT. Power is identical: 113 hp / 83 kW at 4000 rpm and 255 Nm at 2000 rpm from 1991 cm³ Diesel Turbo, 4 Inline cylinders, Front, transverse, fuel Diesel, drive FWD. Kerb weight 1510 kg, gross 1900 kg, clearance 185 mm, tank 55 l, and the suspension/brake labels match.
The measured differences are the gearbox and the two performance numbers:
- Choose 2.0 MT if you want Manual with 5 gears. It is the quicker of the two: 12.6 s to 100 km/h and 172 km/h top speed.
- Choose 2.0 AT if you want Automatic with 4 gears. It is 0.9 s slower to 100 km/h (13.5 s) and 1 km/h slower at the top (171 km/h).
There is no third engine, no extra generation, and no AWD row. Fuel use cannot break the tie: city, highway, and combined consumption are not measured on both. Wheel sizes are not measured on both. Price is not measured. For a 2004 diesel Compact Van in this model line, the choice is 2.0 MT versus 2.0 AT on gearbox and the 12.6 / 13.5 s and 172 / 171 km/h pair.
