Powertrain Options and Availability

The Excel's 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, with sequential multipoint fuel injection, developed 81 horsepower. Either a manual gearbox or 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission might be installed. Base models came with a standard 4-speed manual transmission, while upper Excels used a 5-speed. For 1994, the 4-speed was gone and all models came with a 5-speed manual gearbox, if not the extra-cost automatic.

Front Impact, Driver	4	4

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury: 5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%; 1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%; 2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
