Subaru Vivio

Subaru Vivio

Same displacement, three power steps. Specific output from the given figures: 42 hp / 0.658 l ≈ 63.8 hp/l; 54 hp / 0.658 l ≈ 82.1 hp/l; 64 hp / 0.658 l ≈ 97.3 hp/l. The 64 hp Compressor engines make 84 Nm at 4400 rpm versus 52 Nm at 4500 rpm on the 42 hp engines (+32 Nm, about +62%).

1 generation is the whole model: start 1992-03-01, stop 1998-09-30, body Mini 5-doors, 18 versions. There is no later generation in this catalogue, so “which generation changed what” does not apply: every trade-off is inside this one run. Ground clearance is 150 mm on eleven of the twelve listed rows and 160 mm on one 0.7 MT 42 hp AWD. Tank volume is 32 l on all twelve. Wheel size is not measured on all twelve.

Engines and specs

Same displacement, three power steps. Specific output from the given figures: 42 hp / 0.658 l ≈ 63.8 hp/l; 54 hp / 0.658 l ≈ 82.1 hp/l; 64 hp / 0.658 l ≈ 97.3 hp/l. The 64 hp Compressor engines make 84 Nm at 4400 rpm versus 52 Nm at 4500 rpm on the 42 hp engines (+32 Nm, about +62%). The 54 hp engine sits in the middle: 56 Nm at 4000 rpm, No boost, 4 valves per cylinder, Distributed injection (multi-point).

Performance and economy

Only two versions have a measured 0–100 km/h time, and they are both 0.7 MT FWD Compressor cars at 625 kg:

• 0.7 MT 42 hp Compressor: 17 s, top speed 133 km/h.
• 0.7 MT 64 hp Compressor FWD: 16 s, top speed 138 km/h.

That is 1 s and 5 km/h for +22 hp and +32 Nm at the same kerb weight. Power-to-weight: 625 / 42 ≈ 14.9 kg/hp versus 625 / 64 ≈ 9.8 kg/hp. The 64 hp car therefore carries about 5.1 kg less per horsepower.

The 0.7 MT 42 hp AWD Carburetor (Front, longitudinal) has top speed 133 km/h — the same figure as the 42 hp Compressor FWD manual — but 0–100 km/h is not measured. Every other version: 0–100 not measured, top speed not measured.

City / highway / combined consumption: not measured on all twelve. CO2: not measured. Eco class: not measured. You cannot rank mpg from this catalogue; you can only rank power, torque, the two timed manuals, and weight where it is given.

Dimensions and weight

Kerb and gross are sparse, so use them as the AWD / CVT penalty, not as a full size chart.

Measured kerb:

• 0.7 MT 42 hp Compressor FWD: 625 kg
• 0.7 MT 64 hp Compressor FWD: 625 kg
• 0.7 CVT 42 hp FWD fuel 92: 640 kg (+15 kg vs the 625 kg manuals)
• 0.7 MT 42 hp AWD Carburetor longitudinal, fuel 95: 700 kg
• 0.7 MT 42 hp AWD fuel 92, clearance 160 mm: 700 kg

AWD at 700 kg versus FWD at 625 kg is +75 kg (+12%) for the same 42 hp. Weight per horsepower on those AWD manuals: 700 / 42 ≈ 16.7 kg/hp, versus 14.9 kg/hp on the 625 kg FWD 42 hp 0.7 MT.

Gross:

• 0.7 MT 42 hp and 64 hp Compressor FWD: 1100 kg
• 0.7 CVT 64 hp FWD, 0.7 MT 64 hp AWD, 0.7 CVT 64 hp AWD: 1110 kg (+10 kg)

Kerb not measured on: 0.7 CVT 64 hp FWD, both 0.7 AT 42 hp rows, 0.7 MT 54 hp, 0.7 MT 64 hp AWD, 0.7 CVT 64 hp AWD, 0.7 CVT 42 hp AWD. Gross not measured on: both 0.7 AT 42 hp, 0.7 MT 42 hp AWD (both 95 and 92 fuel rows), 0.7 MT 54 hp, 0.7 CVT 42 hp FWD 92, 0.7 CVT 42 hp AWD.

Clearance 150 mm except 0.7 MT 42 hp AWD fuel 92: 160 mm (+10 mm). Tank 32 l all. Wheels not measured all.

Chassis is the same label everywhere it is filled: front and rear Independent, spring; front brakes Ventilated disc; rear Drum except 0.7 MT 54 hp, where rear brakes are not measured.

Which version to choose

If the brief is “fastest measured Vivio”: take 0.7 MT 64 hp Compressor FWD (Manual 5). It is the only row with 16 s and 138 km/h. Same 625 kg as the 42 hp Compressor 0.7 MT, so the extra 22 hp is not eaten by mass in the measured pair.

If you want 64 hp with AWD: 0.7 MT 64 hp AWD keeps Manual 5, 84 Nm, Compressor. 0–100 and top speed are not measured; kerb is not measured; gross is 1110 kg. 0.7 CVT 64 hp AWD is the same power and torque with Variable gearbox (gears not measured), same 1110 kg gross, same unmeasured sprint. Choose the 0.7 MT if you want a counted 5 gears; choose the 0.7 CVT if you want Variable and the same 64 hp.

If you want 64 hp without a clutch pedal but still FWD: 0.7 CVT 64 hp FWD — 64 hp, 84 Nm, Compressor, Variable, gross 1110 kg. 0–100, top speed, kerb, valves/cyl and engine position: not measured.

If you want the middle engine: only 0.7 MT 54 hp. +12 hp and +4 Nm versus 42 hp, −10 hp and −28 Nm versus 64 hp. No compressor, 4 valves, Distributed injection (multi-point), Front, transverse, FWD, Manual 5. Sprint, top speed, kerb, gross and rear brakes: not measured. It is the only 54 hp row in the list; there is no 54 hp AT, CVT or AWD here.

If you want AWD on 42 hp: three manuals/autos/CVTs, not one car.

• 0.7 MT 42 hp AWD Carburetor Front, longitudinal fuel 95: kerb 700 kg, top 133 km/h, 0–100 not measured, clearance 150 mm.
• 0.7 MT 42 hp AWD fuel 92: same 700 kg, 4 valves, Front, transverse, clearance 160 mm, top speed not measured. This is the only 160 mm car in the table — +10 mm versus the rest.
• 0.7 AT 42 hp AWD: Automatic 3, No boost, Carburetor, Front, longitudinal. Kerb, gross, 0–100, top speed: not measured.
• 0.7 CVT 42 hp AWD: Variable, same 42 hp / 52 Nm Carburetor longitudinal 95 package. Performance and both masses: not measured.

If you want 42 hp FWD and no compressor: 0.7 AT 42 hp FWD (Automatic 3, Carburetor, Front, longitudinal) or 0.7 CVT 42 hp FWD fuel 92 (Variable, 4 valves, Front, transverse, kerb 640 kg). The AT has no measured kerb; the CVT is 15 kg heavier than the 625 kg Compressor manuals.

If you want 42 hp with compressor: only one listed row — 0.7 MT 42 hp Compressor FWD. It is the slow half of the only timed pair (17 s, 133 km/h) at 625 kg. Specific output ≈ 63.8 hp/l versus ≈ 97.3 hp/l on the 64 hp twins.

Fuel 92 versus 95: only two rows use 92 — 0.7 MT 42 hp AWD (the 160 mm car) and 0.7 CVT 42 hp FWD. Both are Carburetor, 4 valves, No boost. All Compressor and all 64 hp / 54 hp rows in this list use 95.

What “extra” does not buy in this dataset: there is no second generation, no other body, no other displacement, no other cylinder count. Automatic exists only at 42 hp with 3 gears and No boost — there is no 64 hp 0.7 AT. Compressor is tied to Distributed injection (multi-point) on the listed 42/64 hp Compressor cars; the No-boost 42 hp cars are Carburetor except you still have the injected 0.7 MT 54 hp. Problems and reliability are not measured in these figures; the comparison stops at power, torque, the two sprints, drive, gearbox, fuel grade, clearance and the five kerb weights that exist.

Short pick: 0.7 MT 64 hp FWD for the only fully timed top of the range; 0.7 MT 64 hp AWD if you will take AWD without a measured 0–100; 0.7 MT 54 hp if you want No boost and injection without jumping to 64 hp; 0.7 MT 42 hp AWD fuel 92 if the +10 mm clearance matters; 0.7 AT 42 hp FWD or AWD only if Automatic 3 is the requirement, knowing sprint and mass are not measured.
