What is the Sportequipe 8?
The Sportequipe 8 is a sport utility vehicle at the upper end of the Sportequipe range. Its shape and format suit drivers looking for a roomy family vehicle with the raised stance associated with an SUV. Sportequipe is a marque within Italy’s DR Automobiles Groupe, introduced as the group expanded its range towards more highly equipped and higher-positioned models.
The 8 name covers more than one type of powertrain. In the European Union’s EEA registration figures, the petrol and LPG versions appeared in 2025. The model has no generations listed here, so there is no documented generation-by-generation change to describe.
Engines and power
The European Union versions use a 1.6-litre engine and are offered with either petrol or LPG fuel. Both are rated at 137 kW, equivalent to 186 PS. The LPG version gives drivers a choice of fuel type while retaining the same stated power as the petrol version.
These figures describe the petrol and LPG Sportequipe 8; the separately named 8H is the plug-in hybrid model.
Where was the Sportequipe 8 sold?
The recorded market for the Sportequipe 8 is the European Union, measured through EEA registrations, for 2025. The figures count 72 registrations in total: 38 for the 1.6-litre LPG version and 34 for the 1.6-litre petrol version.
No fuel-consumption or CO₂ figure is stated for these versions here, so there is no official test result to quote. European official figures generally use WLTP or, for some older approvals, NEDC; those procedures should not be treated as directly interchangeable.
