(75 kW) petrol engine. Four cylinder in-line engine, alloy cylinder block and cylinder head with
single overhead camshaft, two valves per cylinder.
– 1.6 litre/105 PS
(01)
(77 kW) petrol engine. Four cylinder in-line engine, alloy cylinder block and cylinder head with
double overhead camshaft, four valves per cylinder.
– 2.0 litre/115 PS
(01)
(85 kW) petrol engine. Four cylinder in-line engine, alloy cylinder block and cylinder head with
single overhead camshaft, two valves per cylinder.
– 1.8 litre/150 PS

(110 kW) petrol engine. Four cylinder in-line engine, alloy cylinder block and cylinder head with
double overhead camshaft, five valves per cylinder.

(01)
(50 kW) diesel engine. Four cylinder in-line engine, cast iron cylinder block, alloy cylinder head
with single overhead camshaft, two valves per cylinder.
– 1.9 litre/100 PS
(01)
(74 kW) diesel engine. Four cylinder in-line engine, cast iron cylinder block, alloy cylinder head
with single overhead camshaft, two valves per cylinder.

01) The maximum power output figures are quoted
in PS (or Pferdestärke, which is the metric
equivalent of horsepower). To convert from
metric to imperial horsepower, divide the
PS figure by 1.0139.
02) Figures are calculated in accordance with
manufacturer’s criteria. Vehicle unladen weight
ranges with 90% tank capacity without driver
(75 kg). The individual unladen weight depends
on the specification of the vehicle, this then
reduces the possible payload accordingly.
03) With increasing altitude the engine performance
diminishes. From 1,000 m above sea level and for
every 1,000 m thereafter 10% of the vehicle/trailer
weight (trailer weight + gross vehicle weight) must
be deducted.
04) The consumption calculation according to
1999/100/EC is based on the actual unladen
weight of the vehicle. Additional specifications
can lead to a higher weight class and hence to
consumption figures of this higher weight class.
The driving style, road and traffic conditions,
environmental influences and vehicle condition
can in practice lead to consumption figures,
which may differ from those calculated with
this standard.
05) Thanks to the knock control, unleaded four star
(at least 95 RON) can be used instead of Super
plus unleaded.
06) The weight of a vehicle will influence the
level of CO
2
emission it produces; as a result,
vehicles with higher levels of specification and
factory-fitted options may emit higher levels of
CO
2
. The CO
2
figure quoted for each vehicle is
the maximum possible. The unladen weight
of the vehicle is calculated by range at the time
of manufacture and the maximum possible
CO
2
emission for that weight range is applied
according to the Council Directive 80/1268EEC
as amended by Commission Directive
1999/100/EC on the approximation of the laws
of the member states relating to the carbon
dioxide emissions and the fuel consumption
of motor vehicles.
07) The use of bio diesel according to DIN 51606 is
possible to about -10°C.
