Performance and economy
| Version | 0–100 km/h | Top speed | City / highway / mixed (l/100 km) | CO2 | Eco class |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.4 MT 120 hp | 11.9 s | 195 km/h | 8.4 / 5.5 / 6.5 | 153 g/km | Euro 5 |
| 1.4 MT 140 hp | 10.9 s | 207 km/h | 7.8 / 5.4 / 6.3 | 148 g/km | Euro 5 |
| 1.6 MT 170 hp | 9.6 s | 222 km/h | 8.0 / 5.3 / 6.3 | 148 g/km | Euro 5 |
| 1.6 MT 200 hp | 9.2 s | 235 km/h | 8.6 / 5.7 / 6.7 | not measured | Euro 5 |
| 2.0 MT 165 hp | 10.3 s | 218 km/h | 6.3 / 4.6 / 5.2 | 138 g/km | Euro 5 |
| 2.0 AT 165 hp | 10.4 s | 212 km/h | 8.2 / 5.0 / 6.2 | 163 g/km | Euro 5 |
| 2.0 MT 170 hp | 10.3 s | 218 km/h | 6.0 / 4.2 / 4.9 | 129 g/km | Euro 6 |
| 2.0 MT 195 hp | 9.4 s | 230 km/h | 6.4 / 4.6 / 5.3 | 139 g/km | Euro 5 |
| 1.6 AT 170 hp | 9.9 s | 217 km/h | 9.3 / 5.9 / 7.2 | 168 g/km | Euro 5 |
The slowest car is 1.4 MT 120 hp (11.9 s, 195 km/h). The fastest sprint is 1.6 MT 200 hp (9.2 s); the highest top speed is the same version (235 km/h). The gap from the 120 hp 1.4 MT to the 200 hp 1.6 MT is 2.7 s and 40 km/h.
The 20 hp step from 1.4 MT 120 hp to 1.4 MT 140 hp cuts 1.0 s and adds 12 km/h, while mixed use falls 0.2 l/100 km (6.5 → 6.3) and CO2 falls 5 g/km (153 → 148). Same 1364 cc, same 200 Nm, same Manual 6 — the 140 hp tune is the cheaper-to-run of the two 1.4s on these figures.
1.6 MT 170 hp versus 1.4 MT 140 hp: +30 hp, +60 Nm, −1.3 s, +15 km/h, mixed consumption unchanged at 6.3 l/100 km, CO2 unchanged at 148 g/km. The cost of that step is fuel grade: 98 versus 95.
1.6 MT 200 hp versus 1.6 MT 170 hp: +30 hp, +20 Nm, −0.4 s, +13 km/h, mixed +0.4 l/100 km (6.7 vs 6.3). The 200 hp car runs 95 and direct injection; the 170 hp Manual runs 98 and multi-point. CO2 and kerb weight of the 200 hp car are not measured, so you cannot close an emissions or mass comparison with the 170 hp sibling.
Diesel vs petrol at similar power: 2.0 MT 165 hp (10.3 s, 218 km/h, mixed 5.2) against 1.6 MT 170 hp (9.6 s, 222 km/h, mixed 6.3) is 0.7 s slower, 4 km/h slower, and 1.1 l/100 km better mixed. Torque is 350 vs 260 Nm (+90 Nm). 2.0 MT 195 hp (9.4 s, 230 km/h, mixed 5.3) sits within 0.2 s of 1.6 MT 200 hp on sprint, 5 km/h below its 235 km/h peak, and uses 1.4 l/100 km less mixed fuel.
Automatic vs Manual on the same diesel: 2.0 AT 165 hp vs 2.0 MT 165 hp is +0.1 s to 100 km/h, −6 km/h top speed, +1.0 l/100 km mixed (6.2 vs 5.2), +1.9 city, +0.4 highway, +25 g/km CO2 (163 vs 138). Automatic vs Manual on the 170 hp petrol: 1.6 AT 170 hp vs 1.6 MT 170 hp is +0.3 s, −5 km/h, +0.9 mixed (7.2 vs 6.3), +1.3 city, +0.6 highway, +20 g/km (168 vs 148). The Automatic petrol is the thirstiest and highest-CO2 version in the table.
The lowest mixed figure is 2.0 MT 170 hp at 4.9 l/100 km and 129 g/km — the only Euro 6 Cascada in the data. Versus 2.0 MT 165 hp Euro 5: same 10.3 s and 218 km/h, but −0.3 city, −0.4 highway, −0.3 mixed, −9 g/km. Versus 2.0 MT 195 hp: the 170 hp Euro 6 is 0.9 s slower and 12 km/h slower, yet 0.4 l/100 km and 10 g/km cleaner.
Dimensions and weight
Ground clearance is 145 mm on all nine. Tank is 56 l on all nine.
Kerb / gross: 1.4 MT 120 hp, 1.4 MT 140 hp, 1.6 MT 170 hp, 2.0 MT 165 hp, 2.0 AT 165 hp, 2.0 MT 195 hp and 1.6 AT 170 hp are listed at 1626 / 2105 kg. 2.0 MT 170 hp is 1816 / 2200 kg — 190 kg heavier kerb, 95 kg more gross. 1.6 MT 200 hp kerb and gross are not measured.
Wheel sizes are not measured on eight versions. Only 2.0 MT 170 hp lists 235/55 R17, 235/50 R18, 235/45 R19, 245/40 R20.
Mass per horsepower where kerb is measured: 1.4 MT 120 hp = 13.55 kg/hp (heaviest per hp); 1.4 MT 140 hp = 11.61; 1.6 MT 170 hp and 1.6 AT 170 hp = 9.56; 2.0 MT 165 hp and 2.0 AT 165 hp = 9.85; 2.0 MT 195 hp = 8.34 (lightest per hp among weighed cars); 2.0 MT 170 hp = 10.68 because of the 1816 kg kerb. Payload on the 1626/2105 cars is 479 kg; on 2.0 MT 170 hp it is 384 kg.
Which version to choose
There is no second generation to “buy newer.” You are choosing among nine 2013–2019 Cabrio FWD cars.
Daily mileage, lowest fuel and CO2: 2.0 MT 170 hp. Mixed 4.9, city 6.0, highway 4.2, 129 g/km, Euro 6. You accept 1816 kg kerb, 10.3 s, 218 km/h, and the only listed tyre set. If you want similar diesel punch without the extra 190 kg, 2.0 MT 165 hp is 1626 kg, same sprint and top speed, mixed 5.2 and 138 g/km Euro 5 — 0.3 l/100 km and 9 g/km behind, 384 vs 479 kg payload in the other direction.
Automatic diesel: only 2.0 AT 165 hp. Versus its Manual twin you pay 1.0 l/100 km mixed and 25 g/km for a 0.1 s difference. If you need Automatic and still want petrol, 1.6 AT 170 hp is quicker (9.9 vs 10.4 s) and 5 km/h faster than the diesel Automatic, but mixed 7.2 vs 6.2 and 168 vs 163 g/km, and it needs 98.
Strongest petrol, highest top speed: 1.6 MT 200 hp — 200 hp, 280 Nm, 9.2 s, 235 km/h, 125.2 hp/l, 95 octane, direct injection. Mixed 6.7 is 0.4 above the 170 hp Manual petrol. Do not treat its mass or CO2 as known: both are not measured.
Strongest diesel sprint: 2.0 MT 195 hp — 9.4 s, 230 km/h, 400 Nm, mixed 5.3, 139 g/km, still Euro 5 and 1626 kg. Versus 1.6 MT 200 hp you give up 0.2 s and 5 km/h and save 1.4 l/100 km mixed. Versus 2.0 MT 170 hp Euro 6 you gain 0.9 s and 12 km/h and spend 0.4 l/100 km and 10 g/km more.
Best 1.4 if you stay on 95 and Manual: 1.4 MT 140 hp, not 120 hp. Same 200 Nm and 1364 cc; +20 hp buys 1.0 s, 12 km/h, −0.6 city, −0.1 highway, −0.2 mixed, −5 g/km. 1.4 MT 120 hp is only rational if that is the car in front of you and price is not in this dataset.
1.6 petrol Manual if you accept 98: 1.6 MT 170 hp matches 1.4 MT 140 hp on mixed 6.3 and 148 g/km while adding 30 hp, 60 Nm, 1.3 s and 15 km/h. Torque band 1650–3200 vs 4200–1850 on the 1.4s. If you want Automatic on that engine, 1.6 AT 170 hp adds 20 Nm peak (280 vs 260) and a wider 1650–4250 band, at +0.3 s, −5 km/h and +0.9 mixed.
Short map: lowest consumption and only Euro 6 → 2.0 MT 170 hp. Lightest diesel with similar speed → 2.0 MT 165 hp. Diesel Automatic → 2.0 AT 165 hp. Fastest petrol → 1.6 MT 200 hp. Fastest diesel → 2.0 MT 195 hp. Petrol Automatic → 1.6 AT 170 hp. Smallest engine that is not the slowest → 1.4 MT 140 hp. Avoid treating 1.6 MT 200 hp mass or CO2, diesel injection systems, and wheel sizes on eight versions as known — they are not measured.
