Ground clearance is 140 mm on 11 of the 12 and 145 mm on the 85 hp 1.3 AT. Drive is AWD on four Gasoline versions and FWD on the rest. Turbo appears on two 135 hp Gasoline versions. Diesel appears as 1.5 AT and 1.5 MT, both 55 hp.

4 generation (1989-12-01 to 1995-11-30) is Mini 5-doors. The generation record states 21 versions; the attached list has 12 versions. Tank volume is 40 L on all 12. Ground clearance is 145 mm on most versions, 160 mm on the carburetor AWD 1.3 MT 82 hp and 1.3 AT 82 hp, and 155 mm on the 1.3 MT 97 hp AWD. Turbo appears on the 135 hp 1.3 MT and 1.3 AT.

Which version to choose

Choice in this catalogue is a comparison of the listed numbers, not a price or reliability ranking (those are not in the data).

Highest power. Four versions share 135 hp / 99 kW / 157 Nm with Turbo: 5 generation 1.3 AT and 1.3 MT, 4 generation 1.3 MT and 1.3 AT. Displacement is 1332 cm³ in 5 generation and 1331 cm³ in 4 generation. Drive is FWD on all four. 5 generation pair: 0–100 11.2 s, top speed 190 km/h, kerb 945 kg, tank 45 L, clearance 140 mm. 4 generation 1.3 MT 135 hp: top speed 200 km/h, kerb 830 kg (115 kg lighter than the 5 generation 945 kg), tank 40 L, clearance 145 mm, 0–100 not measured. 4 generation 1.3 AT 135 hp: 0–100 and top speed not measured. Compression is 8.2 on the 4 generation turbo pair and not measured on the 5 generation turbo pair.

Lowest power. 2 generation 1.0 MT 45 hp / 33 kW, 980 cm³, RWD. Next is 2 generation 1.2 MT 54 hp. Among later Mini 5-doors FWD cars, Diesel 1.5 AT and 1.5 MT (both generations’ 55 hp Diesels) are the low-power everyday options: 14.5 s and 155 km/h where measured.

AWD. 5 generation: 1.3 MT 75 hp, 1.3 AT 82 hp, 1.3 AT 84 hp, 1.3 MT 85 hp. 4 generation: 1.3 MT 100 hp, 1.3 AT 100 hp, 1.3 MT 82 hp (110 Nm, Carburetor), 1.3 AT 82 hp (110 Nm, Carburetor), 1.3 MT 97 hp. No AWD version has a measured consumption figure. 4 generation carburetor AWD pair has the highest 4 generation clearance at 160 mm.

Diesel. 5 generation 1.5 AT and 1.5 MT (1454 cm³, 55 hp, 91 Nm, compression 22, kerb 980 kg, gross 1380 kg, tank 45 L). 4 generation 1.5 MT (1453 cm³, same 55 hp / 91 Nm / 22 compression, kerb 790 kg — 190 kg lighter than 980 kg, tank 40 L, mixed 4.7 where the 5 generation Diesels have consumption not measured).

Lightest measured kerb. 3 generation 1.3 AT 75 hp at 746 kg. Among 4 generation FWD Gasoline, 1.3 MT 82 hp at 765 kg with the only Gasoline mpg set (mixed 7.1) and the fastest measured 0–100 in the model at 10.3 s.

Same name, different cars. Treat duplicate names as separate versions: 5 generation has three 1.3 AT Gasoline cars at 82, 84, and 85 hp plus a 135 hp Turbo 1.3 AT and a 75 hp 1.3 AT; 5 generation 1.3 MT appears at 75 hp (AWD and FWD), 85 hp (AWD and FWD), and 135 hp Turbo. 4 generation has two 1.3 MT 82 hp (104 Nm FWD 1296 cm³ vs 110 Nm AWD 1331 cm³ Carburetor), two 1.3 AT 82 hp, two 1.3 MT 100 hp (FWD vs AWD), and two 1.3 AT 100 hp (FWD vs AWD). 3 generation has two 1.3 MT (75 hp 1295 cm³ vs 69 hp 1300 cm³) and two 1.3 AT at those same powers.

RWD only in 2 generation. 1.2 MT 54 hp and 1.0 MT 45 hp are the only RWD versions; later generations in this set are FWD or AWD.

3-cylinder only on 3 generation 1.0 MT (55 hp, 999 cm³, 102 Nm, Manual 4, FWD). Every other listed engine is 4 cylinders Inline.

Problems and reliability are not measured in this dataset; the figures above are the complete measured set for the Toyota Starlet versions listed here.
