The Maruti Suzuki 1000 is a one-version catalogue: generation 1 (1990–2000), Sedan, 1.0 MT only. There is no second engine, gearbox, or restyle to pay extra for.
If the question is which version to buy, the data leave one answer. The model has 1 generation (1990-01-01 to 2000-12-31), Sedan body, and 1 listed version: 1.0 MT. There is no second engine, no automatic, no all-wheel-drive pack, and no restyle split inside that generation.

If the question is which version to buy, the data leave one answer. The model has 1 generation (1990-01-01 to 2000-12-31), Sedan body, and 1 listed version: 1.0 MT. There is no second engine, no automatic, no all-wheel-drive pack, and no restyle split inside that generation. Arithmetic on the sheet is still useful: it shows what that single spec actually delivers per litre, per kilogram, and per millimetre of clearance — and what is not measured, so a buyer does not treat a blank as “this parameter does not exist.”
Which version to buy: 1.0 MT
1.0 MT is the only row. It is a Gasoline 4-cylinder Inline engine of 970 cm³, 46 hp (34 kW) at 5500 rpm, 71 Nm at 3500 rpm, 2 valves per cylinder, boost No, Carburetor, layout Front, transverse, fuel 95. The gearbox is Manual with 5 gears; drive is FWD.
Buyer math on that row:
- Specific output: 46 hp / 0.970 L = 47.4 hp per litre.
- Torque per litre: 71 Nm / 0.970 L = 73.2 Nm per litre.
- Kerb mass per horsepower: 825 kg / 46 hp = 17.9 kg per hp.
- Power per tonne (kerb): 46 hp / 0.825 t = 55.8 hp per tonne.
- Power per tonne (gross): 46 hp / 1.240 t = 37.1 hp per tonne.
- Payload (gross minus kerb): 1240 − 825 = 415 kg. That is 50.3% of kerb mass as extra load allowance.
- Top speed is 100 km/h. 0–100 is not measured. At a stated maximum of 100 km/h, a 0–100 figure would be the same as reaching the speed limiter; the catalogue still records it as not measured, not as a derived time.
There is no “extra money” version in this dataset: no higher-hp 1.0 MT, no AT, no turbo. Choosing 1.0 MT is choosing the model.
Generations: what changed (and what did not)
1 generation (1990-01-01–2000-12-31), Sedan, 1 version. No second generation exists in the data, so there is no generation-to-generation jump in hp, mass, or clearance to compute. A restyle is not listed as a separate generation; none is listed at all.
What stayed fixed for the whole run: 970 cm³, 46 hp, 71 Nm, Manual 5, FWD, 825 / 1240 kg, 180 mm clearance, 40 L tank, front Disc, rear Drum, Independent, spring front and rear.
If you are comparing cars inside this model line, you are not comparing generations. You are comparing one 1.0 MT example against another 1.0 MT example of the same numbers.
Engine and specs (1.0 MT)
| Version | hp | Nm | cm³ | Fuel | Cylinders / layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0 MT | 46 at 5500 rpm | 71 at 3500 rpm | 970 | Gasoline, fuel 95 | 4, Inline, 2 valves per cylinder | No | Manual, 5 | FWD |
Further engine facts for 1.0 MT (same version, not a second trim):
- Induction: Carburetor (not a second fuel-system option).
- Position: Front, transverse.
- Bore × stroke: 65.5 × 72.
- Compression ratio: not measured.
- Total valves: 4 × 2 = 8.
- Stroke/bore: 72 / 65.5 ≈ 1.10 (slightly undersquare on the given pair).
- Peak torque sits 2000 rpm below peak power (3500 vs 5500).
A naturally aspirated Carburetor 970 cm³ making 46 hp is 47.4 hp/L. That is the only specific-output figure this catalogue can publish for the Maruti Suzuki 1000.
Performance, mpg, and what is not measured
For 1.0 MT:
- 0–100: not measured.
- Top speed: 100 km/h.
- City consumption: not measured.
- Highway consumption: not measured.
- Combined consumption: not measured.
- CO₂: not measured.
- Eco class: not measured.
mpg is therefore not measured in city, highway, or mixed. The tank is 40 L; without a consumption figure, range is not measured. Do not treat those blanks as “the car has no fuel use.” They are missing measurements.
What is measured and relevant to how the car is used: maximum 100 km/h and 46 hp for 825 kg (17.9 kg/hp). That pairing is the performance story of 1.0 MT. There is no higher-speed or higher-hp variant to buy if 100 km/h is not enough.
Dimensions, weight, and ground clearance
Wheel sizes for 1.0 MT are not measured.
Measured mass and chassis numbers:
- Kerb: 825 kg.
- Gross: 1240 kg.
- Payload: 415 kg.
- Ground clearance: 180 mm.
- Tank: 40 L.
- Front suspension: Independent, spring.
- Rear suspension: Independent, spring.
- Front brakes: Disc.
- Rear brakes: Drum.
180 mm clearance on 825 kg is the only ground-clearance / mass pair. Clearance per tonne (kerb): 180 / 0.825 ≈ 218 mm per tonne — a ratio, not a second spec. Front and rear are both Independent, spring; the buyer is not choosing a beam-axle vs independent split, because both ends are the same label.
Brake mix is Disc / Drum. There is no four-disc 1.0 MT in the data.
Reliability and problems: what the spec sheet actually implies
This catalogue has no failure rates, recall counts, or owner-survey scores. Reliability and problems are therefore not measured as statistics. What can be stated without inventing a second version:
- 1.0 MT uses a Carburetor, boost No. There is no fuel-injected or turbo alternative in the table, so “which injection system to buy” is not a choice.
- Manual 5 and FWD are the only transmission and drive. There is no AT whose extra mass or different ratio you can weigh against 825 kg.
- Rear Drum and front Disc are fixed. A buyer who wants rear discs is looking outside this model, not at a higher 1.0 MT.
- Compression is not measured; you cannot rank octane need beyond the listed fuel 95.
- Production window is 1990-01-01 to 2000-12-31. Age of a given car is a used-market fact, not a second factory version.
Do not read “problems” as a hidden second trim. With modifikaciy: 1, condition of an individual 1.0 MT is the only remaining differentiator, and that is not in this dataset.
Specs recap for the only choice
1.0 MT, 1 generation, Sedan, 1990–2000:
- 46 hp / 71 Nm / 970 cm³ / Gasoline / 4 Inline / boost No / Manual 5 / FWD.
- 47.4 hp/L, 17.9 kg/hp, 415 kg payload, 180 mm clearance, 40 L tank, 100 km/h top speed.
- 0–100, mpg (all three cycles), CO₂, eco class, wheels, compression: not measured.
If you need two columns to compare, this model does not supply them. Buy 1.0 MT or look at another model; inside the Maruti Suzuki 1000, the arithmetic all points at the same row.
