Mitsubishi Savrin: which version to buy and why

If the question is which Mitsubishi Savrin to buy, this catalogue has a short list: both measured versions sit in 1 generation (2001-01-01–2004-01-31), both are named 2.4 AT, both make 165 hp and 217 Nm from 2378 cc Gasoline. The split is drivetrain and the numbers that follow it.

If the question is which Mitsubishi Savrin to buy, this catalogue has a short list: both measured versions sit in 1 generation (2001-01-01–2004-01-31), both are named 2.4 AT, both make 165 hp and 217 Nm from 2378 cc Gasoline. The split is drivetrain and the numbers that follow it. The AWD 2.4 AT is 55 kg heavier (1700 vs 1645 kg kerb), 10 mm lower at the ground (155 vs 165 mm), 1.7 s quicker to 100 (10 vs 11.7), and 10 units higher at top speed (200 vs 190). The FWD 2.4 AT is the only version with city / highway / mixed fuel figures (13.2 / 8 / 9.9). 2 generation (2004-02-01–2014-01-31) is a Minivan with 0 versions in this dataset, so a 2005 Mitsubishi Savrin or Mitsubishi Savrin 2008 cannot be scored here by engine, weight, or economy.

Generations: what the catalogue actually lists for a buyer

1 generation (2001-01-01–2004-01-31) is a Minivan with 2 versions, both 2.4 AT. Calendar searches for Mitsubishi Savrin 2002, Mitsubishi Savrin 2003, and Mitsubishi Savrin 2004 fall inside this window. There is no restyling row in the data; both 2.4 AT lines share the same start and stop dates as the generation.

2 generation (2004-02-01–2014-01-31) is also a Minivan and lasts longer on the calendar, but modifikaciy is 0 and versions is empty. Queries for 2005 Mitsubishi Savrin and Mitsubishi Savrin 2008 match those years only as a generation label. This article cannot compare a second-generation engine, gearbox, or weight because none are measured.

Mitsubishi Savrin 2.0 does not appear as a version name. Mitsubishi Savrin Inspire is not a field in the data. Interior packaging (seats, cargo cubes, trim) is not measured for either 2.4 AT.

Mitsubishi Savrin 2.4 AT specs: two versions, one name

Both rows are named 2.4 AT. They are not the same car: one is AWD, one is FWD. Power is identical at 165 hp (121 kW); torque is identical at 217 Nm. Displacement is 2378 cc on both. Fuel type is Gasoline. Cylinders: 4. Layout: Inline. Valves per cylinder: 4. Boost: No. Gearbox: Automatic, 4 speeds. Fuel grade: 95.

Injection on both 2.4 AT rows is Direct injection (direct). Engine position is Front, transverse on the AWD 2.4 AT and not measured on the FWD 2.4 AT. Compression ratio is 9.5 and bore × stroke is 87 × 100 on the FWD 2.4 AT; both of those are not measured on the AWD 2.4 AT. Peak power rpm is 4000 on the AWD 2.4 AT and 6000 on the FWD 2.4 AT. Peak torque rpm is 6000 on the AWD 2.4 AT and 4000 on the FWD 2.4 AT. Eco class is Euro 4 on the AWD 2.4 AT and not measured on the FWD 2.4 AT.

Power per litre is the same arithmetic on both: 165 / 2.378 ≈ 69.4 hp per litre. Specific torque is 217 / 2.378 ≈ 91.3 Nm per litre. The extra hardware the AWD 2.4 AT buys is not extra horsepower; it is AWD plus the mass, clearance, and sprint numbers below.

Performance, mpg, and what the extra mass costs

2.4 AT (AWD, 165 hp): 0–100 10; top speed 200; city not measured; highway not measured; mixed not measured.

2.4 AT (FWD, 165 hp): 0–100 11.7; top speed 190; city 13.2; highway 8; mixed 9.9.

The AWD 2.4 AT reaches 100 in 10 versus 11.7 on the FWD 2.4 AT: 1.7 s less. Top speed is 200 versus 190: 10 higher on AWD. Kerb weight is 1700 versus 1645: the AWD 2.4 AT carries 55 kg more for the same 165 hp. Weight per horsepower is 1700 / 165 ≈ 10.30 kg/hp (AWD) versus 1645 / 165 ≈ 9.97 kg/hp (FWD). On paper the FWD 2.4 AT is the lighter, slightly less burdened 165 hp package; the sprint and top-speed figures still favour AWD.

Fuel: only the FWD 2.4 AT has consumption. Mixed 9.9 sits 1.9 above highway 8 and 3.3 below city 13.2. Tank volume is not measured on either 2.4 AT, so range cannot be calculated. CO2 is not measured on both. If mpg is the buying filter, the FWD 2.4 AT is the only version that can be compared to a fuel budget; the AWD 2.4 AT must be treated as economy not measured, not as “the same 9.9 mixed.”

Dimensions and weight: clearance, payload, wheels

Gross weight is 2250 on both 2.4 AT rows. Payload (gross minus kerb) is 2250 − 1700 = 550 on the AWD 2.4 AT and 2250 − 1645 = 605 on the FWD 2.4 AT: 55 kg more payload on FWD, matching the 55 kg kerb gap.

Ground clearance is 155 on the AWD 2.4 AT and 165 on the FWD 2.4 AT (10 mm more on FWD). Wheel sizes are not measured on both. Tank is not measured on both.

Front suspension is Independent, spring on both. Rear suspension is Independent, spring on both. Front brakes are Ventilated disc on both. Rear brakes are Disc on both (label as in the data). Chassis hardware is therefore not a differentiator in this catalogue; mass, drive, clearance, and the sprint/economy rows are.

Which Mitsubishi Savrin 2.4 to choose

Choose the 2.4 AT with AWD (165 hp) if the buying reason is AWD, a 10 0–100, and a 200 top speed, and you accept 1700 kg kerb, 155 mm clearance, 550 kg payload, city/highway/mixed not measured, compression not measured, and bore × stroke not measured. That is the only AWD row in the Mitsubishi Savrin data.

Choose the 2.4 AT with FWD (165 hp) if the buying reason is the lighter 1645 kg kerb, 165 mm clearance, 605 kg payload, and the only measured fuel set (13.2 / 8 / 9.9), and you accept 11.7 to 100, 190 top speed, engine position not measured, and eco class not measured. On equal 165 hp and 2378 cc, this is the version with more payload and more clearance, not more power.

Do not use 2 generation (2004–2014) as a spec sheet. It has 0 versions. A 2005 Mitsubishi Savrin or Mitsubishi Savrin 2008 search hits the generation dates only. Reliability, problems, and interior are not measured for any version here; they are not a reason to pick one 2.4 AT over the other in this catalogue.

There is no 2.0 in these data, and no Inspire row. If the search was Mitsubishi Savrin 2.0 or Mitsubishi Savrin Inspire, this dataset does not contain a matching version name to buy.

Prices are not in the data, so “what the extra money buys” is only what the numbers buy: AWD plus 1.7 s and 10 top-speed versus 55 kg less mass, 10 mm more clearance, 55 kg more payload, and the only mpg figures on FWD. Same 2.4 AT name, same 165 hp, same Automatic 4, same Gasoline Inline 4 with boost No. The arithmetic is the choice.
