Mazda Premacy 1999 vs Mitsubishi Space Runner 1999
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.0 Diesel | 2.4 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Mazda Premacy) 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 Space Runner) 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." | |||

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 Space Runner engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 6 years | 40 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used also on Mazda 323 | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Mitsubishi Space Wagon, Mitsubishi Galant | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Mitsubishi Space Runner might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Mitsubishi Space Runner 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. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 4.30 m | 4.29 m | |
| Width: | 1.70 m | 1.70 m | |
| Height: | 1.57 m | 1.65 m | |
| Mazda Premacy is 1 cm longer than the Mitsubishi Space Runner, width is practically the same , while the height of Mazda Premacy is 8 cm lower. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | 420 litres | 430 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down |
1848 litres | 1800 litres | |
