If the goal is 92-octane petrol and a 1329 cc four-cylinder without extra kerb: 1.3 CVT (94 hp) or 1.3 MT (94 hp). Same 94 hp / 69 kW, 121 Nm, 886 kg, 170 km/h. 1.3 CVT (94 hp) reaches 100 km/h in 11.6 s but uses 5.2 L/100 km combined. 1.3 MT (94 hp) uses 4.8 L/100 km combined with a 6-speed Manual and 11.8 s.
If the goal is the strongest petrol Manual: 1.3 MT (99 hp) — 99 hp / 73 kW, 128 Nm (highest petrol torque), 11.6 s, 170 km/h, combined 5.2 L/100 km, kerb 955 kg, fuel 95. Versus 1.3 MT (94 hp) that is +5 hp, +7 Nm, −0.2 s to 100 km/h, +0.4 L/100 km combined, and +69 kg kerb.
If the goal is a Variable gearbox at 99 hp: 1.3 CVT (99 hp) — 99 hp / 72 kW, 123 Nm, 11.6 s, 170 km/h, combined 5.1 L/100 km, kerb 1005 kg, engine Front, transverse. Versus 1.3 CVT (94 hp): +5 hp, +2 Nm, same 11.6 s, −0.1 L/100 km combined, +119 kg kerb, fuel 95 instead of 92.
If the goal is diesel torque, lowest combined use, and the shortest 0–100: 1.4 MT — 90 hp, 190 Nm (62 Nm above the next-highest 128 Nm), Turbo, 10.7 s, 170 km/h, combined 4.0 L/100 km, kerb 945 kg, Manual 6, FWD, Front, transverse, Euro 4.
