Engines and specs

Same name, different output: 1.1 MT is 58 hp (1968) and 62 hp (from 1969); 2.0 MT / 2.0 AT in 4 generation restyling are 86 hp Diesel or 100 hp Gasoline. 3.0 AT is 185 hp in both 4 generation rows; they differ by gearbox (5 vs 4) and drive (AWD vs RWD).

Performance, mpg and economy

0–100 km/h is measured only on 4 generation 2.4 AT RWD (14.5 s), 2.4 AT AWD (14.5 s), and 3.0 AT AWD (12 s). That 3.0 AT AWD is 2.5 s quicker than those 2.4 AT rows. All other versions: 0–100 not measured.

Top speed is 115 km/h on 1 generation 1.1 MT (58 hp), 1.1 MT (62 hp), 1.4 MT, and 2 generation 1.4 MT. 4 generation 2.4 AT (both drives) 165 km/h; 2.8 AT 150 km/h; 3.0 AT AWD 170 km/h. 5 generation restyling 2.3 AT 170 km/h, matching 3.0 AT AWD. Other versions: top speed not measured.

Fuel consumption (mpg-style figures in L/100 km as stored) is measured only on 5 generation restyling 2.3 AT: city 9.9, highway 7.1, combined 7.9. CO2 205. Eco class not measured. Every other version: city, highway, combined, and CO2 not measured.

Kerb / gross (kg), specified rows: 5 generation 1.6 MT 1240 / 1950; 1.6 AT 1270 / 1980 (+30 kerb, +30 gross vs MT). 5 restyling 2.3 AT kerb 1940, gross not measured. 4 generation lightest specified kerb is 2.4 MT 1610; heaviest 2.8 AT 2050 (+440). Gross on 4 generation spans 2400–2505. 4 restyling lightest specified kerb is Gasoline 2.0 MT 1490; heaviest Diesel 2.0 AT AWD 1810. Heaviest gross in the whole dataset is 4 restyling Diesel 2.0 MT AWD 3130. 3 generation kerb 1240 on both 2.0 MT and both 2.5 MT; 2.4 AT AWD 1760; 2.4 AT RWD 1460; several AT rows not measured.

Reliability, problems, and which version to choose

This catalogue has no failure rates, recall lists, or owner-problem counts. What can be compared is arithmetic on the listed numbers.

For measured acceleration, 4 generation 3.0 AT AWD (185 hp, 265 Nm, Automatic 5) is the only version at 12 s 0–100 and 170 km/h. The two 2.4 AT rows at 145 hp share 14.5 s and 165 km/h; AWD adds 200 kg kerb versus RWD (1860 vs 1660). 2.8 AT AWD is the only diesel with a listed top speed here (150 km/h), 20 km/h below 3.0 AT AWD.

For payload-style mass, 4 restyling Diesel 2.0 MT AWD has gross 3130 and kerb 1770 (difference 1360 kg); 5 generation 1.6 MT has gross 1950 and kerb 1240 (difference 710 kg). 4 generation 2.8 AT is 2050 / 2505 (difference 455 kg).

For clearance, choose 3 generation 2.4 AWD at 210 mm. 5 generation FWD 1.6 MT / 1.6 AT sit 50 mm lower at 160 mm. 5 restyling 2.3 AT is 185 mm, 25 mm above those 1.6 FWD vans and 5 mm below 4 generation 190 mm.

For latest diesel with measured consumption, 5 restyling 2.3 AT is the only version with city/highway/combined and CO2, plus Automatic 8, 380 Nm, AWD, tank 64 L, top speed 170 km/h. 0–100 remains not measured.

For lightest specified modern van, 5 generation 1.6 MT at 1240 kg matches 3 generation 2.0 MT / 2.5 MT kerb but uses FWD, 109 hp, 55 L tank, and 160 mm clearance. 1.6 AT is the same engine with Automatic 4 and 30 kg more.

For early compact RWD, 1 generation 1.1 MT (58 hp, then 62 hp) and 1.4 MT (86 hp) share top speed 115 km/h and Manual 4; torque is not measured on 1.1 MT and 115 Nm on 1.4 MT with rpm not measured. 2 generation 1.6 MT is the highest hp in that generation at 110 hp, 30 hp above 1.5 MT (80 hp) and 36 hp above 2.5 MT Diesel (74 hp).

Duplicate names must be read with hp, fuel, and drive: a 4 restyling 2.0 MT at 86 hp is Diesel Turbo; a 4 restyling 2.0 MT at 100 hp is Gasoline RWD. A 3 generation 2.0 MT is 91 hp Gasoline. A 2 generation 2.0 MT is 92 hp Gasoline. A 5 generation 1.6 MT is 109 hp FWD Gasoline, not the 2 generation 1.6 MT at 110 hp RWD.
