Which Plymouth Breeze version to choose
Plymouth Breeze is a Plymouth model with 1 generation, body Sedan, production window 1995-01-01–2000-12-31, and 3 versions: 2.0 MT, 2.0 AT, 2.4 AT. All three are Gasoline, FWD, tank 60 L, boost No.
2.0 MT is the only version with a measured 0–100 km/h time: 10 s. Peak power is 132 hp (98 kW) at 6000 rpm and 175 Nm at 5000 rpm from 1996 cm³, Gasoline, 4 cylinders, Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, boost No. Gearbox is Manual, 5 speeds, drive FWD. Kerb weight is 1360 kg, so mass per horsepower is 1360 / 132 ≈ 10.3 kg/hp. Displacement-specific power is 132 / 1.996 ≈ 66.1 hp/L. Top speed is 175 km/h. Fuel grade in the data is 92. Compression ratio is 9.8. Bore × stroke is 87.5 × 83. Tank is 60 L. Gross weight is 1810 kg (payload window 1810 − 1360 = 450 kg). Ground clearance is not measured. Rear suspension is not measured. Front brakes Disc, rear Drum. Front suspension Independent, spring. Engine placement Front, transverse. Feed Distributed injection (multi-point).
2.0 AT uses the same 1996 cm³ Gasoline Inline 4 with the same 132 hp, 175 Nm, 6000 / 5000 rpm, 9.8 compression, 87.5 × 83, boost No, fuel 92, FWD, and 60 L tank. Listed peak is 97 kW versus 98 kW on 2.0 MT (difference 1 kW in the data). The gearbox is Automatic, 4 speeds instead of Manual 5. 0–100 km/h is not measured. Top speed is not measured. Kerb weight is not measured, so kg/hp cannot be calculated. Gross weight is not measured. Ground clearance is 150 mm. Rear suspension is listed: Independent, spring (front the same). Brakes remain Disc / Drum.
2.4 AT is the only larger engine: 2429 cm³ (+433 cm³ vs 1996), 150 hp (+18 hp, +13.6% vs 132), 110 kW, 226 Nm (+51 Nm, +29.1% vs 175). Peak power arrives earlier: 5200 rpm versus 6000. Peak torque arrives earlier: 4000 rpm versus 5000. Compression is 9.4 (lower by 0.4 than 9.8). Stroke is longer: 87.5 × 101 versus 87.5 × 83 (stroke +18 mm). Fuel grade is 95, not 92. Gearbox Automatic 4, drive FWD. Top speed 200 km/h (+25 km/h vs 175 on 2.0 MT). 0–100 km/h is not measured. Kerb weight 1325 kg — 35 kg lighter than 2.0 MT at 1360 kg. Mass per horsepower: 1325 / 150 ≈ 8.83 kg/hp, which is 1.47 kg/hp lower than 2.0 MT. Power per litre: 150 / 2.429 ≈ 61.8 hp/L, about 4.3 hp/L below the 2.0 engines. Tank still 60 L. Clearance 150 mm. Gross weight not measured. Wheels not measured. Suspension both ends Independent, spring. Brakes Disc / Drum. Boost No. Cylinders 4, Inline, 4 valves per cylinder. Placement Front, transverse. Feed Distributed injection (multi-point).
Arithmetic ranking (from the given numbers only). Highest listed power and torque: 2.4 AT. Highest listed top speed: 2.4 AT (200 vs 175). Only measured sprint: 2.0 MT (10 s). Highest power per litre: both 2.0 versions (≈66.1 hp/L) over 2.4 AT (≈61.8 hp/L). Best measured kg/hp: 2.4 AT (≈8.83) over 2.0 MT (≈10.3); 2.0 AT cannot be ranked because kerb weight is not measured. Extra displacement of 2.4 AT is 433 / 1996 ≈ 21.7% more capacity for 18 / 132 ≈ 13.6% more horsepower and 51 / 175 ≈ 29.1% more torque — the 2.4 buys torque more than peak power. The 2.0 AT versus 2.0 MT does not buy extra horsepower (132 vs 132); it swaps Manual 5 for Automatic 4 and loses the only 0–100 figure and the only kerb/gross pair.
Practical pick. Choose 2.0 MT if you want the only timed 0–100 (10 s), a 5-speed Manual, 92 fuel, and a known 1360 / 1810 kg weight pair. Choose 2.0 AT if you want the same 132 hp / 175 Nm / 1996 cm³ Gasoline engine with Automatic 4 and a listed 150 mm clearance, accepting that 0–100, top speed, and both weights are not measured. Choose 2.4 AT if you want +18 hp, +51 Nm, 200 km/h, earlier peaks (5200 / 4000 rpm), and the lightest listed kerb (1325 kg), at the cost of 95 fuel, a lower compression ratio (9.4), and no 0–100 figure. There is no generation-to-generation upgrade path: pokoleniy is 1, years 1995-01-01 to 2000-12-31, body Sedan for all three.

Performance and economy
2.0 MT: 0–100 km/h 10 s; top speed 175 km/h; city / highway / combined consumption not measured; CO₂ not measured; eco class not measured.
2.0 AT: 0–100 km/h not measured; top speed not measured; city / highway / combined not measured; CO₂ not measured; eco class not measured.
2.4 AT: 0–100 km/h not measured; top speed 200 km/h; city / highway / combined not measured; CO₂ not measured; eco class not measured.
The only numeric performance comparison that can be written from the data is top speed 2.4 AT 200 versus 2.0 MT 175 (+25 km/h). MPG cannot be ranked: every consumption field is not measured.
Dimensions and weight
2.0 MT: kerb 1360 kg; gross 1810 kg; clearance not measured; tank 60 L; wheels not measured. Front suspension Independent, spring; rear not measured. Brakes Disc / Drum.
