Toyota Passo

Types of Toyota Passo: what actually changes between generations

Searches for Toyota Passo 2018 specs, 2017 specs, and 2016 specs all land on this 3 generation pair if the date is 2016-04-01 through 2018-09-30. Searches for 2020, Sette, USA, Pakistan price, and engine oil capacity have no measured values here.

1 generation (2004-06-01–2010-01-31) is the only generation with a Manual and the only one with two different 1.3 AT outputs. It has five versions: 1.0 AT FWD 71 hp, 1.0 AT AWD 71 hp, 1.3 AT 90 hp, 1.3 MT 92 hp, 1.3 AT 92 hp. Ground clearance is 160 mm on all five. Fuel tank is 40 L. Kerb weight spans 900–940 kg. This is the only generation where 92 fuel appears (on the 996 cc pair and the 90 hp 1.3 AT). Rear suspension is Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem on the 1.0s and the 90 hp 1.3 AT, and Semi-independent, torsion on both 92 hp 1.3s.

2 generation (2010-02-01–2016-03-31) drops the Automatic and the Manual. Every version is 1.0 CVT or 1.3 CVT with Variable gearbox. Three versions: 1.0 CVT FWD 69 hp, 1.0 CVT AWD 69 hp, 1.3 CVT FWD 95 hp. Clearance falls 20 mm versus 1 generation (140 mm vs 160 mm). Tank stays 40 L. This is the only generation with a measured gross weight on every version: 1185, 1245, and 1215 kg. Fuel is 95 on all three.

3 generation (2016-04-01–2018-09-30) is the shortest window and the thinnest range: two versions, both 1.0 CVT 69 hp 996 cc, FWD and AWD. The 1.3 is gone. Injection becomes Direct injection (direct) and compression 12.5 (was 10.5 on the 2 generation 1.0). Peak torque stays 92 Nm but the rpm moves from 3600 (2 generation) to 4400. Tank shrinks to 36 L (4 L less than 1 and 2 generation). Clearance is 150 mm: 10 mm above 2 generation, 10 mm below 1 generation. 0–100, top speed, fuel consumption, CO2, eco class, gross weight, and wheels are not measured on both 3 generation cars.

Searches for Toyota Passo 2018 specs, 2017 specs, and 2016 specs all land on this 3 generation pair if the date is 2016-04-01 through 2018-09-30. Searches for 2020, Sette, USA, Pakistan price, and engine oil capacity have no measured values here.

Toyota Passo specs table (engine, horsepower, gearbox, drive)

Engine location is Front, transverse on eight versions. On 1 generation 1.3 MT 92 hp and 1.3 AT 92 hp, engine location is not measured. Front brakes are Ventilated disc and rear Drum on all ten. Front suspension is Independent, spring on all ten. CO2 is not measured on all ten. Wheel sizes are not measured except 1 generation 1.3 AT 90 hp: 155/80 R13 and 175/65 R14. Eco class is Euro 4 only on the two 92 hp 1.3s; otherwise not measured. Engine oil capacity is not measured.

Toyota Passo horsepower and kg per hp

Specific output (hp per litre of displacement):

• 3 generation 1.0 CVT (both drives): 69 / 0.996 = 69.3 hp/L
• 2 generation 1.0 CVT (both): 69.3 hp/L
• 2 generation 1.3 CVT: 95 / 1.329 = 71.5 hp/L (highest in the table)
• 1 generation 1.0 AT (both): 71 / 0.996 = 71.3 hp/L
• 1 generation 1.3 AT 90 hp: 90 / 1.297 = 69.4 hp/L
• 1 generation 1.3 MT and 1.3 AT 92 hp: 92 / 1.297 = 70.9 hp/L

The 3 generation 1.0 is not the strongest 996 cc: it is 2 hp and 2 Nm below 1 generation 1.0 AT. What it buys is compression 12.5 versus 10.5 and Direct injection (direct) versus Distributed injection (multi-point). Peak torque rpm on that 996 cc moves later: 4400 versus 3600.

Kerb kilograms per horsepower (lower is denser):

• 2 generation 1.3 CVT FWD: 940 / 95 = 9.9 kg/hp (best)
• 1 generation 1.3 MT 92 hp and 1.3 AT 92 hp: 930 / 92 = 10.1 kg/hp
• 1 generation 1.3 AT 90 hp: 940 / 90 = 10.4 kg/hp
• 1 generation 1.0 AT FWD: 900 / 71 = 12.7 kg/hp
• 1 generation 1.0 AT AWD: 940 / 71 = 13.2 kg/hp
• 3 generation 1.0 CVT FWD and 2 generation 1.0 CVT FWD: 910 / 69 = 13.2 kg/hp
• 3 generation 1.0 CVT AWD: 960 / 69 = 13.9 kg/hp
• 2 generation 1.0 CVT AWD: 970 / 69 = 14.1 kg/hp (worst)

The 1.3 cars carry 26–38% less mass per horsepower than the heaviest 1.0 AWD. That is the real “extra” of the larger engine in this catalogue: not a different body, not a different brake type.

Performance and mpg: what is measured and what is not

Measured 0–100 km/h exists on four versions only:

• 1 generation 1.3 MT: 11.3 s, top 170 km/h
• 2 generation 1.3 CVT: 13.0 s, top 165 km/h (1.7 s slower, 5 km/h slower than the MT)
• 2 generation 1.0 CVT FWD and AWD: both 13.9 s, top 160 km/h
• 1 generation 1.0 AT FWD: 13.9 s, top 160 km/h — same pair of numbers as the 2 generation 1.0, despite +2 hp and −10 kg versus 2 generation FWD

On 1 generation 1.0 AT AWD, both 1.3 AT versions, and both 3 generation 1.0 CVT versions, 0–100 and top speed are not measured. Do not treat those blanks as “no such figure exists on a city car”; they are missing from this sheet.

Fuel consumption (catalogue units as given) is measured on two versions only:

• 1 generation 1.0 AT AWD: city 6.1, highway 4.4, mixed 5.4; tank 40 L
• 1 generation 1.3 MT: city 7.5, highway 4.8, mixed 5.8; tank 40 L

The MT uses 1.4 more in the city and 0.4 more mixed than the AWD 1.0, and is 2.6 s quicker to 100 km/h than the 1.0s that have a time. Every other version: city, highway, mixed, and CO2 not measured. There is no mpg conversion in the source, so none is invented here.

3 generation tank 36 L versus 40 L on 1 and 2 generation is 10% less volume. Range cannot be calculated: consumption on those two cars is not measured.

Toyota Passo weight, clearance, tank, wheels

Kerb weight in kg, lightest to heaviest:

1. 900 — 1 generation 1.0 AT FWD 2. 910 — 2 generation 1.0 CVT FWD and 3 generation 1.0 CVT FWD (same kerb, 2 hp apart, 10 mm clearance apart) 3. 930 — both 92 hp 1.3s in 1 generation 4. 940 — 1 generation 1.0 AT AWD, 1 generation 1.3 AT 90 hp, 2 generation 1.3 CVT 5. 960 — 3 generation 1.0 CVT AWD 6. 970 — 2 generation 1.0 CVT AWD

AWD cost in kerb mass at the same named engine: +40 kg on 1 generation 1.0 AT, +60 kg on 2 generation 1.0 CVT, +50 kg on 3 generation 1.0 CVT. None of the AWD cars add horsepower. Gross weight is measured only in 2 generation: payload as gross minus kerb is 275 kg on 1.0 CVT FWD (1185−910), 275 kg on 1.0 CVT AWD (1245−970), 275 kg on 1.3 CVT (1215−940). Weight capacity for every other generation is not measured.

Ground clearance: 160 mm (1 generation, all five), 150 mm (3 generation, both), 140 mm (2 generation, all three). If clearance is the buying filter, 1 generation wins by 20 mm over 2 generation. Wheels: only 1.3 AT 90 hp lists sizes; all other versions not measured.

Advantages and disadvantages by version (numbers only)

Choose 1 generation 1.3 MT** when you want the catalogue’s fastest measured Passo: 11.3 s, 170 km/h, 5-speed Manual, 92 hp, 123 Nm, Euro 4, 930 kg. Disadvantage versus the other 1.3s: you must take Manual; mixed consumption is measured at 5.8, which is 0.4 above the only other mixed figure (5.4 on 1.0 AT AWD). Engine location not measured. Rear axle is Semi-independent, torsion**, not the spring label used on the 1.0s.

Choose 1 generation 1.3 AT 92 hp** when you want the same 92 hp, 123 Nm @ 4400, Euro 4, and 930 kg, but Automatic 4. 0–100, top speed, and consumption are not measured**, so you cannot claim it is as quick as the MT from this sheet.

Do not confuse the two 1.3 AT cars. The 90 hp 1.3 AT is 2 hp down, torque peaks earlier (3200 vs 4400), fuel is 92 not 95, eco class is not measured, kerb is 940 kg (+10 kg), rear suspension is Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem, and it is the only Passo with listed wheels (155/80 R13, 175/65 R14). Specific output is 1.5 hp/L worse than the 92 hp 1.3s. Buy the 90 hp 1.3 AT only if those wheels or 92 fuel are the filter; it is not the stronger 1.3.

Choose 2 generation 1.3 CVT** when you want the highest horsepower in the model line (95 hp, 70 kW), highest specific output (71.5 hp/L), lowest kg/hp (9.9), Variable gearbox, and a measured 13.0 s / 165 km/h. Versus 1 generation 1.3 MT you give up 1.7 s and 5 km/h and you lose the Manual. Versus 2 generation 1.0 CVT FWD you pay +30 kg kerb for +26 hp, +29 Nm, −0.9 s, +5 km/h, and +4 cylinders (4 Inline vs 3 Inline). Displacement is 1329 vs 996 (+333 cc**). Drive is FWD only: there is no AWD 1.3 in any generation.

Choose 2 generation 1.0 CVT FWD when you want a measured 1.0 with Variable gearbox: 69 hp, 13.9 s, 160 km/h, 910 kg, tank 40 L, clearance 140 mm. Same 0–100 as 1 generation 1.0 AT FWD with 2 hp less. Injection is still Distributed injection (multi-point).

Choose 2 generation 1.0 CVT AWD only for AWD. You add 60 kg versus the FWD twin, reach 14.1 kg/hp, and keep the same 13.9 s and 160 km/h in the sheet. That is the heaviest Passo listed (970 kg). Gross 1245 kg.

Choose 1 generation 1.0 AT FWD if you want the lightest Passo (900 kg), 71 hp, 4-speed Automatic, 92 fuel, 160 mm clearance, and a measured 13.9 s / 160. Versus 3 generation 1.0 CVT FWD: +2 hp, +2 Nm, +10 kg lighter, +10 mm more clearance, +4 L tank, but Automatic not Variable, compression 10.5 not 12.5, and multi-point not direct injection.

Choose 1 generation 1.0 AT AWD if you need AWD and want the only 1.0 with measured consumption (6.1 / 4.4 / 5.4). 0–100 and top speed not measured. +40 kg versus FWD. Fuel 92.

Choose 3 generation 1.0 CVT FWD if the buying question is “newest 1.0 in this catalogue”: Direct injection (direct), CR 12.5, torque @ 4400, clearance 150 mm, same 910 kg as 2 generation FWD. What you do not get: a 1.3, measured 0–100, measured mpg, measured gross, measured wheels, eco class. Tank is the smallest (36 L). Horsepower is tied with 2 generation 1.0 at 69, not with 1 generation at 71.

Choose 3 generation 1.0 CVT AWD for the same 3 generation 1.0 with +50 kg (960 kg). Performance and mpg not measured. Same 36 L tank.

Reliability, problems, and “is it a good car”

Engine problems, reliability ratings, and “good car” scores are not measured in this data. What the sheet does show is a stable hardware pattern: Gasoline, No boost, 4 valves per cylinder, Ventilated disc front / Drum rear, Independent, spring front, on every version. Failures, oil capacity, engine mounts, and market price (Pakistan, Kenya, USA, for sale) are outside the source.

Which Toyota Passo to buy: decision order

1. Need AWD? Only the three 1.0 AWD cars exist. Rank them by mass: 1 generation 1.0 AT AWD 940 kg (consumption measured), 3 generation 1.0 CVT AWD 960 kg (direct injection, figures otherwise not measured), 2 generation 1.0 CVT AWD 970 kg (0–100 13.9 s measured). All 69 or 71 hp. There is no AWD 1.3.

2. Need the strongest engine? 1.3 CVT in 2 generation, 95 hp. Next are the two 92 hp 1.3s in 1 generation, then 90 hp 1.3 AT.

3. Need a measured sprint? 1.3 MT 11.3 s, then 1.3 CVT 13.0 s, then the three measured 1.0s at 13.9 s. Everyone else: not measured.

4. Need clearance 160 mm? 1 generation only. 150 mm: 3 generation. 140 mm: 2 generation.

5. Need Manual? Only 1.3 MT. Need Automatic? Only 1 generation. Need Variable? 2 and 3 generation.

6. Stay on 996 cc / “1000cc horsepower”? 71 hp in 1 generation, 69 hp in 2 and 3 generation. Engine cc is 996 on all 1.0s, 1297 on 1 generation 1.3s, 1329 on 2 generation 1.3 CVT.

That is the whole choice set. Ten names, two displacements, three gearboxes, FWD or AWD on the 1.0 only, and several cells honestly not measured.
