Engine specs

Names are taken exactly from the data. Same name, different power (or other measured fields) are separate versions. Boost, fuel, injection, and layout use the English labels; not measured is written when the field is empty.

Valves per cylinder: 2 on restyling 1.5 MT 82 hp Diesel; 4 on every other listed version.

Injection: Distributed injection (multi-point) on gasoline versions where measured; Carburetor on 1st-generation 1.6 AT 90 hp; not measured on all Diesel versions.

Bore × stroke (mm) and compression: 1st-gen 1.4 MT 75 hp: 73.6 × 88, 9.9; 1.4 MT 87 hp: 73.6 × 81.8, 9.5; 1.6 MT 90 hp: 73.6 × 88, 9.9; 1.6 AT 90 hp: 76 × 88, 9.8; 1.6 AT 96 hp: 76 × 88, 9.5; 1.6 MT 96 hp and 1.6 MT 99 hp: 76 × 88, 9.8; 2.0 MT: bore × stroke not measured, 18. 2nd-gen 1.5 MT: 73.6 × 88, 9.9; 1.6 AT: 76 × 88, 9.5; 1.8: 80 × 88, 9.5; 2.2: 86 × 94, 18.

Check - I didn't extract power for gen1 fully. I should NOT invent rpm I didn't extract.

I extracted power only for the first batch. I should not invent rpm for versions I didn't print. Safer to omit rpm except where I have them from first dump... I have rpm from first generation dump:

• 1.5 MT 82: 4000
• 2.2 112: 4000
• 2.2 136: 4000
• 1.5 98: 6000
• 1.8 116: 5600

Gen2 I didn't print rpm in the compact dump. I'll skip rpm in the article except I already have many. Don't invent.

Torque rpm: 2000 diesel, 4000 gasoline where I saw it.

Which version to choose

All versions are FWD Sedan. Choice is arithmetic on the listed numbers.

Lowest fuel use (measured mixed): restyling 1.5 MT 82 hp Diesel at 4.9 L/100 km (6 city / 4.1 highway). Versus restyling 1.5 MT 98 hp Gasoline at 6.6 mixed, that is 1.7 L/100 km less mixed. Versus 3rd-generation 1.6 AT at 8.5, that is 3.6 L/100 km less. Trade-off: 0–100 is 14.4–14.5 s and top speed 170 km/h, versus 13.1 s / 177 km/h for 1.5 MT 98 hp and 9.2 s / 200 km/h for 2.2 MT 136 hp.

Fastest measured: restyling 2.2 MT 136 hp, 9.2 s to 100 km/h, 200 km/h, 304 Nm at 2000 rpm, Manual 6. Versus restyling 2.2 MT 112 hp: +24 hp (136 − 112), +56 Nm (304 − 248), −2.2 s (11.4 − 9.2), +13 km/h (200 − 187). Versus pre-restyling 2.2 MT 110 hp: +26 hp, +74 Nm, −3.1 s, +15 km/h. Consumption for 2.2 MT 136 hp is not measured; 2.2 MT 112 hp and 2.2 MT 110 hp share 5.9 mixed.

Gasoline without diesel: 1st-generation 1.6 MT 96 hp or 99 hp both do 11.0 s and 180 km/h; the 99 hp listing uses 7.2 mixed versus 7.3 for 96 hp (0.1 less) and 8.6 city versus 9.3. Restyling 1.8 MT 116 hp: 10.8 s, 186 km/h, mixed 7.5 — 0.2 s quicker than 1st-gen 1.6 MT 96/99 hp and 6 km/h faster, at 0.2–0.3 L/100 km more mixed than those 1.6 manuals.

Automatic: 3rd-generation 1.6 AT 102 hp is the only automatic with a full consumption set: 8.5 mixed, 12.7 s, 175 km/h. Restyling 1.8 AT 116 hp is 11.2 s / 180 km/h or 12.5 s / 176 km/h; consumption not measured. 2nd-generation 1.8 AT 114 hp: 11.3 s / 180 km/h, consumption not measured. 1st-generation 1.6 AT 96 hp: 12.9 s / 168 km/h, 7.4 mixed. 1st-generation 1.6 AT 90 hp: 0–100, top speed, kerb, and consumption not measured.

Ground clearance: 165 mm on several 2nd-generation gasoline listings versus 140 mm on 1st generation and on restyling diesels — 25 mm more. 3rd generation is 160 mm (20 mm above 140 mm, 5 mm below 165 mm).

Tank range (arithmetic only, mixed consumption): restyling 1.5 MT 82 hp, 60 L / 4.9 L/100 km ≈ 1224 km of mixed litres; 3rd-generation 1.6 AT, 50 L / 8.5 ≈ 588 km; 1st-generation 1.4 MT 75 hp, 40 L / 6.6 ≈ 606 km. These are tank ÷ mixed figure, not a tested range.

Problems and reliability: this dataset does not list faults, service intervals, or reliability scores. Those topics are not measured here.
