As motors, a 1.2-liter gasoline engine with 54 kW/73 hp ( later 44 kW/60 hp ), a 1.7 -liter turbo diesel and a 1.9 -liter naturally aspirated diesel engine with swirl chamber injection may be offered in Europe. The diesel engine will be replaced later by a 1.9 -liter turbo diesel engine with common - rail injection and a little later by a 1.3-liter common-rail engine with 62 kW/84 hp ( later 70 kW/95 hp). Outside Europe are also 1,5 - and offered 1.6-liter 8v petrol engines and a 1.6 -liter 16V petrol engine.
