Nissan Otti

Which Nissan Otti to buy: version and generation comparison

If you are choosing a Nissan Otti, the decision is not a long list of bodies and engines.

If you are choosing a Nissan Otti, the decision is not a long list of bodies and engines. Every Nissan Otti in the catalogue is a Hatchback 5-door with a 657 cc Gasoline Inline 3 (4 valves per cylinder), Distributed injection (multi-point), compression 10.5, bore and stroke 68 × 60.6, fuel 95, a 30 L tank, 155 mm ground clearance, Independent, spring suspension front and rear, Disc front brakes, Drum rear brakes, and a 1030 kg gross weight. 0–100 km/h, top speed, city/highway/combined consumption, CO2, eco class, wheel size, engine location, and kerb weight on some 1 generation Automatic cars are not measured. What actually changes between versions is power (50 hp / 37 kW versus 64 hp / 47 kW), torque (62 Nm versus 93 Nm), boost (No versus Turbo), gearbox (Manual 5 versus Automatic 4), and drive (FWD versus AWD). Those six switches decide which Nissan Otti to buy.

Specs that stay the same — and the two numbers that do not

Power per litre is 50 / 0.657 ≈ 76.1 hp per litre on every naturally aspirated Nissan Otti, and 64 / 0.657 ≈ 97.4 hp per litre on every Turbo Nissan Otti. The Turbo cars add 14 hp (28% more) and 31 Nm (50% more torque). Peak power arrives 500 rpm earlier on Turbo (6000 versus 6500), and peak torque 500 rpm earlier (3500 versus 4000). Where kerb weight is measured at 810 kg, the 50 hp cars carry 16.2 kg per horsepower; the 64 hp cars carry 12.7 kg per horsepower. Payload where both figures exist is 1030 − 810 = 220 kg. AWD does not change the listed 810 kg kerb or 1030 kg gross against FWD on the same engine. The 30 L tank and 155 mm clearance never change.

Generations: what 2 generation actually dropped

1 generation (2005-06-01 to 2006-09-30) is the only Nissan Otti you can buy with a Manual. It lists 8 versions in one Hatchback 5-door body: four 0.7 MT and four 0.7 AT, split 50 hp / No boost and 64 hp / Turbo, each with FWD and AWD. That generation ran about 16 months. Kerb weight is measured at 810 kg on all four 0.7 MT cars and is not measured on all four 0.7 AT cars.

2 generation (2006-10-01 to 2013-06-30) keeps the same Hatchback 5-door and the same 657 cc Gasoline Inline 3, but it lists only 4 versions — all named 0.7 AT. Manual is gone. You still get 50 hp / No and 64 hp / Turbo, each with FWD and AWD. Production ran about 81 months, more than five times longer than 1 generation. Kerb weight is measured at 810 kg on all four 2 generation 0.7 AT cars.

If you need a 5-speed Manual, the only catalogue answer is 1 generation 0.7 MT (50 hp or 64 hp, FWD or AWD). If you want Automatic and a measured 810 kg kerb, 2 generation 0.7 AT is the generation that records that weight; 1 generation 0.7 AT leaves kerb not measured.

Engines and specs table

Same name, two outputs: every 0.7 AT and every 0.7 MT exists as both 50 hp and 64 hp. Distinguish them by horsepower, not by the label.

Performance, mpg, and fuel tank

0–100 km/h is not measured on any Nissan Otti. Top speed is not measured. City, highway, and combined consumption (mpg / L/100 km) are not measured, so a “fuel average” cannot be quoted from this catalogue. CO2 and eco class are not measured. Engine oil capacity is not measured. The one economy-related figure that is measured is the 30 L fuel tank on every version, both generations.

What you can compare without inventing times: Turbo 64 hp / 93 Nm versus No-boost 50 hp / 62 Nm on the same 657 cc, same 810 kg kerb where measured, same 30 L tank. Specific output rises from about 76.1 to about 97.4 hp/L. Torque per litre rises from 62 / 0.657 ≈ 94.4 Nm/L to 93 / 0.657 ≈ 141.6 Nm/L. Weight per horsepower falls from 16.2 to 12.7 kg/hp on the 810 kg cars. Those ratios are why the Turbo 0.7 AT and Turbo 0.7 MT are the versions to pick if the 50 hp cars look under-powered on paper; they are not a proof of a faster 0–100, because that figure is not measured.

Dimensions, weight, tyre size

Wheel / tyre size is not measured on any Nissan Otti. Ground clearance is 155 mm on every version. Gross weight is 1030 kg on every version. Kerb weight is 810 kg on: 2 generation all four 0.7 AT (50 hp FWD, 50 hp AWD, 64 hp FWD, 64 hp AWD); 1 generation both 0.7 MT 50 hp (FWD and AWD); 1 generation both 0.7 MT 64 hp (FWD and AWD). Kerb weight is not measured on: 1 generation 0.7 AT 50 hp FWD, 1 generation 0.7 AT 50 hp AWD, 1 generation 0.7 AT 64 hp FWD, 1 generation 0.7 AT 64 hp AWD. AWD versus FWD does not change the listed 810 kg or 1030 kg where both exist, so you cannot use this table to claim AWD “costs” extra kilograms.

Which version to choose

Buy 2 generation 0.7 AT, 64 hp, FWD if you want Automatic, Turbo, the highest listed power (64 hp / 47 kW, 93 Nm), a measured 810 kg kerb (12.7 kg/hp), and the generation that stayed in production from 2006-10-01 to 2013-06-30. This is the default “which Nissan Otti” answer when you do not need AWD and do not need Manual.

Buy 2 generation 0.7 AT, 64 hp, AWD if you want the same Turbo Automatic as above plus AWD. On the data, AWD does not change hp, Nm, cc, tank, clearance, kerb 810 kg, or gross 1030 kg versus the FWD Turbo 0.7 AT. The extra you get is drive type only.

Buy 2 generation 0.7 AT, 50 hp, FWD if you want Automatic without Turbo. You give up 14 hp and 31 Nm versus the 64 hp 0.7 AT. Specific output falls from about 97.4 to about 76.1 hp/L; kg per hp rises from 12.7 to 16.2. Boost is No. Gearbox stays Automatic 4.

Buy 2 generation 0.7 AT, 50 hp, AWD if you want Automatic, No boost, and AWD. Same 50 hp / 62 Nm arithmetic as the FWD 50 hp 0.7 AT; the only listed difference is AWD.

Buy 1 generation 0.7 MT, 64 hp, FWD if Manual is the point of the purchase. This is the only way to combine Turbo 64 hp / 93 Nm with Manual 5. Kerb is measured at 810 kg. 1 generation ended 2006-09-30, so this car is the short-run generation.

Buy 1 generation 0.7 MT, 64 hp, AWD for Turbo + Manual 5 + AWD. Same 64 hp / 93 Nm / 810 kg as the FWD Turbo 0.7 MT; drive is AWD.

Buy 1 generation 0.7 MT, 50 hp, FWD (or AWD) only if you specifically want Manual 5 and No boost. You keep 50 hp / 62 Nm and 16.2 kg/hp at 810 kg. There is no 2 generation Manual, so you cannot “move up a generation” and keep the 5-speed.

Buy 1 generation 0.7 AT (50 hp or 64 hp, FWD or AWD) only if you need Automatic on the 2005-06-01 to 2006-09-30 car. Mechanically the 50 hp and 64 hp 0.7 AT match the later 2 generation 0.7 AT on hp, Nm, boost, gears, and drive. What you lose versus 2 generation is a measured kerb: it is not measured on any 1 generation 0.7 AT. What you lose versus 2 generation in calendar terms is the longer 2006-10-01 to 2013-06-30 run.

What the “extra” actually buys (arithmetic only)

Turbo versus No, same 0.7 AT or same 0.7 MT: +14 hp, +10 kW, +31 Nm, peak power 500 rpm earlier, peak torque 500 rpm earlier, +21.3 hp/L, +47.2 Nm/L, −3.5 kg/hp at 810 kg. Tank, clearance, gross weight, fuel 95, 3 Inline, 4 valves, compression 10.5, 68 × 60.6, Distributed injection (multi-point) do not change.

AWD versus FWD, same power and gearbox: drive label only. No listed weight penalty, no listed tank change, no listed clearance change.

Automatic 4 versus Manual 5: 2 generation removed Manual entirely. 1 generation is the only place 0.7 MT exists. Automatic on 1 generation 0.7 AT is the only Automatic whose kerb is not measured.

2 generation versus 1 generation: same Hatchback 5-door, same 657 cc Gasoline Inline 3 family, same 50/64 hp pair, same FWD/AWD. 2 generation cut the version count from 8 to 4 by dropping 0.7 MT. 2 generation records 810 kg on Automatic; 1 generation records 810 kg on Manual and leaves Automatic kerb not measured.

Reliability, problems, review notes from this catalogue

This dataset does not measure reliability, common problems, engine number location, or oil capacity. Those searches cannot be answered with a number here. What is measured for a used Nissan Otti decision is: two generations, twelve versions, two outputs (50 hp and 64 hp) sharing the names 0.7 AT and 0.7 MT, 30 L tank, 155 mm clearance, 1030 kg gross, 810 kg kerb where listed, and performance/mpg not measured. Choose Turbo 64 hp if you want the higher specific output; choose Manual only in 1 generation 0.7 MT; choose 2 generation 0.7 AT if you want Automatic with a listed 810 kg kerb and the longer production window.
