Mitsubishi Space Star 2001 vs Opel Agila 2000
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.9 Diesel | 1.2 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Mitsubishi Space Star) 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 (Opel Agila) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 102 HP | 75 HP | |
| Torque: | 215 NM | 110 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 12 seconds | 13.5 seconds | |
|
Mitsubishi Space Star is more dynamic to drive. Mitsubishi Space Star engine produces 27 HP more power than Opel Agila, whereas torque is 105 NM more than Opel Agila. Thanks to more power Mitsubishi Space Star reaches 100 km/h speed 1.5 seconds faster. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 5.5 | 6.5 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 5.7 l/100km | 6.6 l/100km | |
|
The Mitsubishi Space Star is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Mitsubishi Space Star consumes 1 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Opel Agila, which means that by driving the Mitsubishi Space Star over 15,000 km in a year you can save 150 litres of fuel. By comparing actual fuel consumption based on user reports, Mitsubishi Space Star consumes 0.9 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Opel Agila. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 55 litres | 41 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 1000 km in combined cycle | 630 km in combined cycle | |
| 1190 km on highway | 710 km on highway | ||
| 960 km with real consumption | 620 km with real consumption | ||
| Mitsubishi Space Star gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 420'000 km | 370'000 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 Space Star engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 8 years | 4 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 11 other car models, including Volvo V40, Renault Laguna, Renault Scenic, Volvo S40, Mitsubishi Carisma | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Opel Astra, Opel Corsa | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Mitsubishi Space Star might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Opel Agila engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
