In Germany two variants of a 4-cylinder OHV gasoline engine with 1289 cc capacity each were available: a 40 kW ( 54 hp) payable execution and a 50 kW (68 hp) engine. Both were based on the same engine block, compared to the less powerful but had the more powerful engine to make some changes.

In some exporting countries, there was a 1137- cc version of the same engine with 38 kW ( 52 PS) in the model 115
After the engines were initially fitted with carburettors, a Monomotronic - injection system was used from 1993. The 54 -horsepower engine was designed for regular gasoline.

The revised engine with the central injection was characterized by a reduced fuel consumption, fuel consumption less than 6 liters per 100 km could be reached quite. The motor has a bottom camshaft ( camshaft side in the engine block ), which is driven via a timing chain. Only the 54 -hp machine was equipped with a regulated (135 LE / LSE) or unregulated (135 L / LS) catalyst.
