Which version to choose
On Compact Van, 1.9 MT (115 hp) has the highest Diesel output (115 hp, 265 Nm) and the joint-fastest 0–100 in the whole catalogue (10.3 s) with mixed 5.5 on the restyle (mixed not measured on 1 generation). 1.9 MT (102 hp) is 13 hp and 50 Nm lower, 1.7 s slower to 100, with mixed 5.5. Among Gasoline Compact Van, 1 generation 1.8 MT is the strongest (122 hp, 174 Nm, 10.4 s, 190 km/h); restyle 1.8 MT is 10 hp and 17 Nm lower (112 / 157), 0.2 s slower, 4 km/h lower top speed. Automatic 1.8 AT is 2.0 s slower than 1.8 MT before restyle (12.4 vs 10.4) and 2.6 s slower after (13.2 vs 10.6). 1.6 MT is 12.0 s / 180 km/h in both first-generation blocks; 1.6 AT is 14.5 s / 171 km/h with consumption not measured. The two 1.3 MT names differ by 4 hp (82 vs 86) with the same 120 Nm, 14.2 s, and 170 km/h.
On Mini 5-doors, 1.2 MT is the quickest measured 80 hp path: 11.7 s and 180 km/h in 2 generation and restyling, mixed 4.3 then 4.1. 1.0 MT is 9 hp and 18 Nm lower; 0–100 is 14.6 s then 13.6 s then 15.7 s on restyling 2 (the only 6-speed Manual). 1.2 CVT at 80 hp is 1.1 s slower than 1.2 MT in 2 generation (12.8 vs 11.7) and 1.8 s slower after restyling (13.5 vs 11.7). Restyling 2 1.2 CVT (71 hp) is the slowest Mini: 15.8 s, 163 km/h, 104 Nm. Restyling 1.2 CVT is the only Mini with city/highway/mixed all measured plus CO2 95 and Euro 6; restyling 1.2 MT matches Euro 6 with mixed 4.1 and CO2 96. Tank 35 vs Compact Van 55 is a 20-litre difference. Kerb on Mini is 820–970 vs Compact Van 1165–1265 where measured. All 26 versions are FWD.
