Engine Details:
2.2-liter (2179 cc) inline-four gasoline engine, 16 valves (DOHC - Double Overhead Camshaft). This engine was likely sourced from Fiat or PSA, common for vehicles of this era and platform-sharing arrangement. It was designed for smooth power delivery and reasonable fuel economy.
Bore Stroke:
While not explicitly provided, for a 2.2L engine of this configuration, typical bore and stroke would be around 86mm x 96mm. The manual will contain precise measurements for engine rebuilds.
Compression Ratio:
Likely in the range of 9.8:1 to 10.5:1. The manual will provide the exact compression ratio and acceptable tolerances.
Horsepower:
Approximately 150-160 PS (110-118 kW) at around 6000 rpm. (Exact figures may vary slightly based on specific tuning and market).
Torque:
Around 200-210 Nm (148-155 lb-ft) at approximately 4000 rpm. (Exact figures may vary).
Fuel Injection:
Electronic Multi-Point Fuel Injection (MPI).
Fuel Type:
Unleaded Gasoline (Petrol).
Length:
Approximately 4.56 meters (179.5 inches). (Note: MPVs of this era had significant variations, precise figures depend on exact configuration).
Width:
Approximately 1.8 meters (70.9 inches).
Height:
Approximately 1.7 meters (66.9 inches).
Curb Weight:
Typically in the range of 1600-1700 kg (3527-3748 lbs), depending on equipment and engine.
Cargo Volume:
Highly variable with seat configurations, offering substantial cargo space when rear seats are folded or removed. Specific volumes will be detailed in the manual.
Euro Ncap Rating:
The Lancia Zeta (and its platform siblings) received mixed Euro NCAP ratings during its production run. For the 2002 model year, expect a rating of around 3 to 4 stars for adult occupant protection, with a focus on frontal and side impact performance. Specific details will be in the manual.
