| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.9 Diesel | 2.4 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Alfa Romeo GT) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Mitsubishi Eclipse) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 420'000 km | 460'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Mitsubishi Eclipse engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 7 years | 40 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Alfa Romeo 147, Fiat Bravo | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Mitsubishi Space Wagon, Mitsubishi Galant, Mitsubishi Space Runner | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Mitsubishi Eclipse might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
