| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.4 Diesel | 1.6 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Toyota Auris) 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 (Volvo C30) 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 chain | Timing belt | |
| Engine chain usually needs to be replaced less often than the timing belt, but the cost of replacing the chain is usually higher. Chain motors are considered to be more reliable, but noisier and more vibration generating. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 90 HP | 100 HP | |
| Torque: | 205 NM | 150 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 12 seconds | 11.8 seconds | |
|
Volvo C30 is a more dynamic driving. Toyota Auris engine produces 10 HP less power than Volvo C30, but torque is 55 NM more than Volvo C30. Due to the lower power, Toyota Auris reaches 100 km/h speed 0.2 seconds later. | |||

Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 300'000 km | 440'000 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 Volvo C30 engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 15 years | 6 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Toyota Corolla, Toyota Yaris, Toyota iQ | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Volvo V50, Volvo S40 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Toyota Auris might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
