This engine-list shows all available engines for the cars here on the pictures and mentioned in the heading of the table during its production time.
If a specific engine is missing, it is probably because this engine came along with easy to spot changes on the outside of the car. Cars with such engines get their own entry on this website.

This is the production period of the car on the pictures, and not the period for the car model series.

The fuel-consumption is always only an estimation. The consumption depends on the driver, the way the car is driven, where it's driven, how fast etc. Therefore an exact figure can not be given. The fuel consumption figures here give a range where the mileage can be expected.
