Toyota Levin
 

Hi

I'm looking at buying a 1995 onwards Toyota Levin.

On the Levin XZ it lists the power rating at 115ps@6000rpm (doesn't matter which year I look up), however when I look up the rating on the engine (4A-FE) I get 110ps@5600rpm and some even 105ps@5200rpm. Why is there such a difference here and why doesn't it match the car's rating?

Also I was wondering about the fuel economy on the BZ-G models which list it as 12.6 km/L (city mode) for the manual. Which is kinda poor for a 1.6, but to be fair it is quite powerful as a 1.6 goes. But this rating makes me nervous with fuel prices being so high over here in New Zealand. What fuel efficiency do owners of this car actually get?

Also I hope the XZ and BZ-G models can outperform a 1.5L Honda Civic LX/DX :p .

Thank you in advance for your help.
