⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Options 2013:

Likely includes 1.2L (petrol), 1.6L (petrol), and potentially 1.5L dCi (diesel) variants. Specific engine codes like K7M, K4M, and K9K are common for this era and platform.

Typical Power Output:

Petrol engines typically range from 75-105 PS, while diesel engines around 90 PS.

Fuel Delivery:

Multi-point fuel injection (MPI) for petrol engines, Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) for diesel engines.

ECU Type:

Bosch or Continental Engine Control Units (ECUs) are common.

Timing Belt Replacement Interval:

Typically around 90,000-120,000 km or 5-6 years for petrol engines equipped with timing belts. Diesel engines with timing chains generally have longer service intervals or are designed to last the life of the engine with proper oil changes.

Dacia K9K Diesel Engine:

The 1.5 dCi engine (K9K) is a common and efficient option, known for its fuel economy. Requires specific diagnostic procedures for common rail system issues.

🔧 Transmission

Standard Transmission Type:

5-speed manual transmission.

Optional Transmission Type:

Some variants may have offered a 4-speed automatic transmission, though less common in base models.

Clutch Type:

Dry single-plate clutch.

Manual Transmission Fluid Type:

API GL-4, SAE 75W-80 or 75W-90 gear oil.

📐 Dimensions

Body Styles:

Available as a 4-door sedan and a 5-door hatchback.

Wheelbase:

Approximately 2630 mm (subject to specific configuration).

Interior Space Focus:

Designed for practical interior space and comfort for its class.

Cargo Volume Sedan:

Generous boot space, a key selling point, often exceeding 500 liters for the sedan version.

Curb Weight Range:

Approximately 1000-1150 kg depending on engine and equipment.

🛡️ Safety Features

Euro Ncap Rating:

Achieved 4 stars in Euro NCAP for the generation, indicating a good level of passive safety.
