The 1.2 MT at 36 hp is the only version with a published power peak of 4100 rpm. Top speed is 115 km/h on the 45 hp and 48 hp cars and not measured on the 36 hp car. Torque, 0–100, fuel use, weights, tank, clearance, and wheels are not measured on every version.

People looking up Skoda 1200, Skoda 1200 cc, Skoda 1200 sedan, or Skoda 1200 engine are looking at this one-generation Sedan and its four 1.2 MT rows. There is no coupe, no second generation, and no sale price in this catalogue.

Skoda 1200 generations

1 generation (1952–1973), Sedan, 4 versions

1 generation of the Skoda 1200 is dated 1952-01-01 to 1973-12-31. Body type is Sedan. The generation contains 4 versions, all 1.2 MT. Restyling is not listed as a separate generation.

Across the four 1.2 MT cars the layout does not change: Gasoline, 1221 cm³, 4 cylinders, Inline, 2 valves per cylinder, Front, longitudinal, Carburetor, compression ratio 6.7, Manual with 4 gears, RWD. Front suspension is Independent, leaf spring; rear is Dependent, leaf spring. Front and rear brakes are Drum. Boost is not measured. The only numeric split inside the generation is power (36 / 45 / 45 / 48 hp) plus top speed on three of the four cars.

Skoda 1200 engine and specs

All four versions share the name 1.2 MT. Distinguish them by horsepower, as two rows are both 45 hp.

The 1.2 MT at 36 hp makes 26 kW at 4100 rpm from 1221 cm³ Gasoline, 4 cylinders Inline, 2 valves per cylinder, Front, longitudinal, Carburetor, compression 6.7, Manual 4, RWD. Torque is not measured. Boost is not measured.

The first 1.2 MT at 45 hp makes 33 kW. Displacement stays 1221 cm³ Gasoline, 4 Inline, 2 valves per cylinder, Front, longitudinal, Carburetor, compression 6.7, Manual 4, RWD. Power rpm is not measured. Torque is not measured. Boost is not measured.

The second 1.2 MT at 45 hp repeats the same measured figures: 45 hp, 33 kW, 1221 cm³ Gasoline, 4 Inline, 2 valves per cylinder, Front, longitudinal, Carburetor, compression 6.7, Manual 4, RWD. Power rpm, torque, and boost are not measured.

The 1.2 MT at 48 hp makes 35 kW from the same 1221 cm³ Gasoline 4 Inline package, 2 valves per cylinder, Front, longitudinal, Carburetor, compression 6.7, Manual 4, RWD. Power rpm, torque, and boost are not measured.

48 hp is 12 hp above 36 hp and 3 hp above 45 hp. In kilowatts the span is 26 kW to 35 kW (9 kW). 45 hp is 9 hp (7 kW) above 36 hp. Displacement does not change: every engine is 1221 cm³.

Skoda 1200 performance, top speed, and mpg

0–100 km/h is not measured on the 1.2 MT at 36 hp, on either 1.2 MT at 45 hp, and on the 1.2 MT at 48 hp.

Top speed on the 1.2 MT at 36 hp is not measured. Top speed on both 1.2 MT listings at 45 hp is 115 km/h. Top speed on the 1.2 MT at 48 hp is 115 km/h. The catalogue therefore does not show a speed gain from 45 hp to 48 hp: both sit at 115 km/h.

City fuel consumption is not measured on all four 1.2 MT versions. Highway fuel consumption is not measured. Combined fuel consumption is not measured. CO2 is not measured. Eco class is not measured. Fuel grade is not measured. There is no mpg figure in the data for the Skoda 1200.

Skoda 1200 dimensions, weight, and tank

Kerb weight is not measured on the 1.2 MT at 36 hp, on either 1.2 MT at 45 hp, and on the 1.2 MT at 48 hp. Gross weight is not measured on all four.

Ground clearance is not measured on all four 1.2 MT versions. Fuel tank capacity is not measured. Wheel size is not measured.

What is measured on the chassis is the same for every version: front suspension Independent, leaf spring, rear suspension Dependent, leaf spring, front brakes Drum, rear brakes Drum. Body type for the generation is Sedan.

Which Skoda 1200 1.2 MT to choose

All four cars are 1.2 MT, 1221 cm³ Gasoline, Manual 4, RWD, Sedan, 1952-01-01–1973-12-31. Choice is only by the power figure attached to that shared name.

Choose the 1.2 MT at 36 hp (26 kW at 4100 rpm) if you want the only version with a published power rpm. It is the lowest output in the set: 12 hp and 9 kW below the 1.2 MT at 48 hp, and 9 hp and 7 kW below each 1.2 MT at 45 hp. Top speed on this 36 hp car is not measured, so you cannot rank it against the 115 km/h of the others from this table.

Choose a 1.2 MT at 45 hp (33 kW) if you want 115 km/h top speed without stepping to 48 hp. The two 45 hp listings match on every measured field in the data (power, kW, 1221 cm³, Gasoline, 4 Inline, Carburetor, compression 6.7, Manual 4, RWD, Drum/Drum, leaf-spring front and rear). Treat them as two catalogue rows of the same 45 hp 1.2 MT, not as two different drivetrains.

Choose the 1.2 MT at 48 hp (35 kW) if you want the highest horsepower and kilowatt figures in this generation. Versus 45 hp that is +3 hp and +2 kW. Versus 36 hp that is +12 hp and +9 kW. Top speed stays 115 km/h, the same as both 45 hp cars. 0–100, torque, mpg, kerb weight, gross weight, tank, clearance, and wheels remain not measured, so those items cannot decide the version.

Reliability, common problems, and Skoda 1200 for sale are not in this dataset. The measured record is a single Sedan generation, four 1.2 MT engines from 36 hp to 48 hp, 1221 cm³ Gasoline, RWD, Manual 4, and 115 km/h where top speed is given.
