A small, light diesel is a specific French speciality. The 1.4 TUD3 arrived in August 1992 with 50 PS; in late 1994 it was replaced by the 1.5 TUD5 with 58 PS, which then ran until the last 106 in 2003.

Neither engine was quick. Both were the kind of engine a family drove for a decade and 250,000 km.

  • 8/1992 — Five doors, and the first diesel. August 1992 adds a five-door body and the 1.4 TUD3 diesel (50 PS). Fuel injection begins replacing carburettors as emissions rules bite; sources differ on how quickly it spread across the range.
