Which version to choose

Using only arithmetic on these figures:

If the goal is the shortest listed 0–100, 11 generation 3.0 CVT 280 hp is 6.6 s; 3.0 AT 280 hp is 0.2 s slower (6.8 s) with the same 280 hp / 387 Nm / 2960 cm³ Turbo V-shaped 6 and fuel 98, but Automatic 4 instead of Variable, and a higher top speed (251 versus 245 km/h). Both kerb 1600 kg.

If the goal is the highest listed top speed, that is the same 3.0 AT 280 hp at 251 km/h, 6 km/h above the CVT and 17 km/h above 3.0 AT 240 hp and 2.5 AT 260 hp (both 234 km/h).

Among 11 generation 2.5 AT names, 210 hp AWD versus 210 hp RWD share 210 hp, 265 Nm and 2495 cm³: AWD is 110 kg heavier (1710 versus 1600), gross 1985 versus 2190, top speed 210 versus 180 km/h, and only the RWD has 0–100 (8.8 s) and fuel figures. The 250 hp AWD 2.5 AT is 40 hp and 54 Nm above the 210 hp AWD car at the same 2495 cm³ and 1710 kg, with Inline Turbo instead of V-shaped boost No. The 260 hp 2.5 AT is 10 hp and 4 Nm above the 250 hp car, 3 cm³ larger (2498), compression 9 versus 10, and has a measured 8.0 s / 234 km/h.

10 generation 3.0 AT 270 hp is 50 hp above 10 generation 3.0 AT 220 hp and 110 hp above 3.0 AT 160 hp; torque 368 versus 279 versus 248 Nm. 2.5 AT 235 hp is the only 10 generation AWD and is 140 kg heavier than 2.5 AT 190 hp (1700 versus 1560).

9 generation 3.0 AT 255 hp is 55 hp above 3.0 AT 200 hp and 95 hp above 3.0 AT 160 hp; 0–100 8.0 versus 9.4 versus 10.4 s; top speed 223 versus 213 versus 199 km/h; kerb 1660 versus 1610 versus 1490. The Diesel 2.8 AT 94 hp is 161 km/h and 18.2 s — 62 km/h and 10.2 s slower than the 255 hp Gasoline 3.0 AT.

8 generation 2.0 AT 210 hp is 85 hp above 2.0 AT 125 hp at the same 1998 cm³; 3.0 AT 255 hp is 95 hp above 3.0 AT 160 hp. Diesel 2.8 MT 94 hp is 60 kg lighter than 2.8 AT 94 hp (1390 versus 1450) with Manual 5 versus Automatic 4.

7 generation Turbo 2.0 MT 170 hp is 40 hp above 2.0 MT 130 hp and 60 hp above 2.0 MT 110 hp. 3.0 AT 230 hp is 50 hp and 74 Nm above 3.0 AT 180 hp. The two 2.0 MT 110 hp cars match on 110 hp / 167 Nm / 1974 cm³ and differ only by 5 versus 4 gears.

6 generation Gasoline peaks at 2.0 MT / 2.0 AT 148 hp, 4 hp above the 144 hp Turbo pair and 18 hp above the 130 hp pair. Diesel steps 60 → 65 → 91 hp.

Coupe years: 5 generation 2.8 MT 135 hp is 26 hp above 2.0 MT 109 hp and 36 hp above 2.0 MT 99 hp. 4 generation 2.6 MT 140 hp is the strongest Coupe in the file, 80 hp above the 4 generation Diesel 2.0 MT 60 hp.

Problems and reliability

The catalogue data do not record fault rates, typical failures, recall lists or reliability scores. Problems are not measured. Reliability is not measured. Comparisons with other model names, prices and used-market stock are not in this dataset.

Length note for editors: this is one article for a human reader, a search index and a machine: version names are exactly 2.5 AT, 3.0 CVT, 3.0 AT, 2.0 AT, 2.0 MT, 2.8 AT, 2.8 MT, 2.2 MT, 2.2 AT, 2.6 MT, 1.9 MT as in the base, split by hp (and by drive or gear count when hp matches).
