Powertrain Options and Availability
Engine choices in 1990 included the base 2.5-liter four and an optional "3300" 3.3-liter V6, developing 110 and 160 horsepower, respectively. A 2.2-liter four replaced the 2.5 as base engine during 1993, while a 3.1-liter V6 edged aside the 3.3-liter for '94, driving an electronic 4-speed automatic transmission. A 3-speed automatic was standard on all other models, but the 4-speed unit could be installed on any Century with a V6 engine.
