1.6 MT (110 hp) Carburetor is the quickest restyling row with a measured 0–100 (12.6 s) and the highest restyling measured top speed (165 km/h). 1.6 MT (113 hp) and 1.6 AT (113 hp) add 3 hp over the 110 hp 1.6 pair but use Distributed injection (multi-point) and 4 valves per cylinder; their 0–100 and mpg are not measured.

On the pre-restyling 1 generation wagon, 1.8 MT (120 hp, FWD) is the only 1.8 with measured 0–100 (12 s) and top speed (185 km/h). 1.8 MT (140 hp) is 20 hp and 22 Nm above 1.8 MT (120 hp, FWD) (140 − 120, 181 − 159); 0–100 is not measured. 1.8 AT (205 hp) and 1.8 MT (205 hp) are the only Turbo Gasoline rows: 205 − 140 = 65 hp and 275 − 181 = 94 Nm above the 140 hp 1.8, both AWD; 0–100 and mpg are not measured.

2.0 MT (88 hp) and 2.0 AT (88 hp) are the Diesel pair: 1998 cc, Turbo, peak at 4500 rpm / 2500 rpm, kerb 1150 / 1170. Peak power is 17 hp below 1.5 MT (91 hp) and 117 hp below 1.8 MT (205 hp). 0–100 and mpg are not measured.
