Powertrain Options and Availability
Two V6 engines continue to propel the Sable into the 1990s--a 3.0-liter V6 and a 3.8-liter V6. Although both provide identical levels of horsepower 140 at 4800 rpm and 140 at 3800 rpm, the larger V6 delivers considerably more torque. It provides 215 pound-feet at 2200 rpm, while the smaller V6 offers only 165 pound-feet of torque at 3250 rpm. For that reason we prefer it over the standard 3.0-liter. It produces quicker acceleration at lower engine speeds, making it more capable when asked to haul loads of passengers and/or cargo. Fuel economy is about the same, regardless of engine choice.
