Toyota Sprinter Performance, MPG and Economy
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is not measured for every listed Toyota Sprinter version. Top speed is also not measured for every version. City, highway and combined fuel consumption are not measured throughout the supplied data, so an MPG figure cannot be stated from this catalogue record. CO2 output and emissions class are not measured for every version as well.
The available engine figures still show the range clearly. Power spans 65–140 hp, while torque spans 101–149 Nm. The 6 generation 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT rated at 140 hp have the highest listed power. The 8 generation 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT rated at 110 hp have the highest listed torque at 149 Nm.
Toyota Sprinter Dimensions, Weight, Clearance and Wheels
Exterior length, width, height and wheelbase are not measured in the supplied data. Gross weight is not measured for any listed version. Every version has a 50-liter fuel tank.
The 5 generation has kerb weights from 825 to 955 kg and ground clearance of 160 mm. Listed wheel sizes are 145/80 R13 and 155/80 R13 for the 1.5 AT at 890 kg and both 1.8 Diesel versions; the 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT list 155/80 R13 and 175/70 R13. Wheel sizes for the other displayed 5 generation versions are not measured.
The 6 generation has kerb weights from 880 to 1110 kg. Ground clearance is 150 mm for most displayed versions and 170 mm for the 90 hp AWD 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT. Wheel sizes are not measured for the displayed 6 generation versions.
The 7 generation has kerb weights from 960 to 1120 kg, ground clearance of 150 mm and a 50-liter tank. Wheel sizes are not measured for the displayed versions.
For the 8 generation, measured kerb weights range from 960 to 1200 kg; kerb weight is not measured for the 88 hp 1.3 AT or the 115 hp 1.6 AT versions. Ground clearance is 150 mm except on the 110 hp AWD 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT, where it is 155 mm. Wheel sizes are not measured for the displayed 8 generation versions.
Toyota Sprinter Problems and Reliability
Reliability records, defect reports and recurring problems are not measured in the supplied data. This catalogue therefore does not assign a reliability rating or claim specific faults for any Toyota Sprinter generation or version.
Which Toyota Sprinter Version to Choose?
For maximum listed power, the 6 generation 1.6 MT or 1.6 AT with 140 hp provides 40 hp more than the 100 hp 1.6 versions from the same generation. Both produce 147 Nm; the 1.6 MT weighs 1020 kg, while the 1.6 AT weighs 1050 kg, a difference of 30 kg.
For maximum listed torque, choose an 8 generation 1.6 MT or 1.6 AT rated at 110 hp and 149 Nm. Both use AWD and have 155 mm of ground clearance. The 1.6 MT weighs 1180 kg and the 1.6 AT weighs 1200 kg, making the Manual version 20 kg lighter.
For the lowest measured kerb weight, the 5 generation 1.5 MT with 83 hp and a 4-speed Manual gearbox weighs 825 kg. It is 130 kg lighter than the 5 generation 1.8 AT Diesel at 955 kg.
Drivers prioritizing the largest listed engine capacity can select the 7 generation 2.2 MT or 2.2 AT. Both use a 2184 cc Diesel engine producing 79 hp and 147 Nm. The 2.2 MT weighs 1090 kg, while the 2.2 AT weighs 1120 kg, so the Manual is 30 kg lighter.
For a choice between FWD and AWD with otherwise matching output, the 8 generation offers 115 hp 1.6 MT and 1.6 AT versions in both drivetrains. The measured 1.6 MT weighs 1040 kg with FWD and 1200 kg with AWD, making the AWD version 160 kg heavier. Kerb weights for the corresponding 115 hp Automatic versions are not measured.
