1.4 MT (71 hp) engine
The 1.4 MT with 71 hp uses a 1372 Gasoline engine, 4 cylinders, Inline, 2 valves per cylinder, No boost, Front, longitudinal placement, and a Carburetor. Compression ratio is 8.3. Bore and stroke are 80.5 × 67.4. Peak power is 71 hp (52 kW) at 5500 rpm; peak torque is 105 Nm at 3500 rpm. Fuel grade in the data is 92.
1.4 MT (82 hp) engine

1.6 MT (92 hp) engine
The 1.6 MT with 92 hp is the strongest Sahin in this catalogue: 92 hp (68 kW) at 5500 rpm, 17 hp above the 75 hp 1.6 MT and 10 hp above the 82 hp 1.4 MT. Torque is 118 Nm at 3250 rpm — 12 Nm below the 75 hp 1.6 MT and 4 Nm below the 80 hp 1.6 MT.

Bore and stroke are not measured.
Tofas Sahin performance, 0-100, top speed, and mpg
City, highway, and combined fuel consumption are not measured on any Sahin version. CO2 is not measured. Eco class is not measured. Acceleration and top speed are measured on all five.
- 1.4 MT (71 hp): 0–100 in 13.5, top speed 162.
- 1.4 MT (82 hp): 0–100 in 13.5, top speed 162. The extra 11 hp and 8 Nm versus the 71 hp 1.4 MT do not change the listed 0–100 or top speed.
- 1.6 MT (75 hp): 0–100 in 13.1, top speed 170. This is the quickest 0–100 and the highest top speed in the set: 0.4 faster to 100 and 8 higher top speed than both 1.4 MT cars.
- 1.6 MT (80 hp): 0–100 in 13.2, top speed 165.
- 1.6 MT (92 hp): 0–100 in 13.2, top speed 165 — the same pair of figures as the 80 hp 1.6 MT, despite 12 hp more and 4 Nm less.
MPG in the usual city/highway/combined sense is not measured here, so a fuel-economy ranking cannot be drawn from this catalogue. What is measured is the 45-litre tank on every version.
Tofas Sahin dimensions, weight, and ground clearance
Wheel sizes are not measured on any version. Ground clearance is 120 on all five. Tank volume is 45 on all five.
Kerb and gross weight:
- 1.4 MT (71 hp): kerb 935, gross 1410. Payload by subtraction: 475.
- 1.4 MT (82 hp): kerb 935, gross 1410. Payload: 475. Same mass pair as the 71 hp 1.4 MT.
- 1.6 MT (75 hp): kerb 985, gross 1450. Payload: 465. Heaviest kerb in the line: 50 above both 1.4 MT cars and 40 above the other two 1.6 MT cars.
- 1.6 MT (80 hp): kerb 945, gross 1420. Payload: 475.
- 1.6 MT (92 hp): kerb 945, gross 1410. Payload: 465. Same kerb as the 80 hp 1.6 MT, 10 lower gross.
Chassis labels are the same across versions: front suspension Dependent, spring; rear suspension Independent, spring; front brakes Disc; rear brakes Drum.
Which Tofas Sahin version to choose
All five cars are Sedan, RWD, Manual 5, Gasoline 92, No boost, Front, longitudinal Inline 4 with 2 valves per cylinder, 45-litre tank, and 120 mm clearance. The choice is between displacement, feeding system, power, torque, 0–100, top speed, and mass.
Choose the 1.4 MT (71 hp) if the brief is the lightest, simplest 1372 Carburetor car: 71 hp, 105 Nm, 935 kerb, 13.5 to 100, 162 top speed. It is the lowest-power and lowest-torque Sahin in the table.
Choose the 1.4 MT (82 hp) if you want the same 1372, same 935/1410 mass, same 13.5 and 162, but Central injection (single-point or single- point) and 82 hp / 113 Nm. It is the only non-Carburetor version in this generation.
Choose the 1.6 MT (75 hp) if torque and top speed matter more than peak horsepower: 130 Nm at 2900 rpm, 170 top speed, 13.1 to 100, compression 9.2. It is the slowest-revving peak-power engine (5800 rpm) and the heaviest car (985 kerb, 1450 gross).
Choose the 1.6 MT (80 hp) for a middle 1581 Carburetor: 80 hp, 122 Nm, 13.2, 165, 945/1420. Versus the 75 hp 1.6 MT it is 5 hp up, 8 Nm down, 0.1 slower to 100, 5 lower top speed, and 40 kg lighter at the kerb.
Choose the 1.6 MT (92 hp) for the highest listed output: 92 hp / 68 kW. Torque is 118 Nm — not the highest. 0–100 is 13.2 and top speed is 165, matching the 80 hp 1.6 MT. Compression and bore × stroke are not measured on this version. Kerb is 945; gross is 1410.
If the ranking is 0–100, the order is 1.6 MT (75 hp) at 13.1, then both remaining 1.6 MT cars at 13.2, then both 1.4 MT cars at 13.5. If the ranking is top speed, the same 75 hp 1.6 MT leads at 170, the 80 hp and 92 hp 1.6 MT sit at 165, and both 1.4 MT cars sit at 162. If the ranking is torque, it is 130, 122, 118, 113, then 105 Nm. If the ranking is kerb weight, both 1.4 MT cars are lightest at 935, then the 80 hp and 92 hp 1.6 MT at 945, then the 75 hp 1.6 MT at 985.
Reliability, problems, and what is not measured
This catalogue does not include failure rates, common faults, service intervals, or used-car problem lists, so reliability and problems are not measured here. Fuel consumption (city, highway, combined) is not measured. CO2 is not measured. Eco class is not measured. Wheel sizes are not measured. On the 1.6 MT (92 hp) only, compression ratio is not measured and bore and stroke are not measured. Those gaps are missing measurements, not statements that the car has no tank, no wheels, or no economy figure in real use — they are simply not in this dataset.
