Powertrain Options and Availability
Initial Sidekicks, and all later 2-wheel-drive models, came with an 80-horsepower 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine. Four-door models got a dual-overhead-cam version in 1992, making 95 horsepower. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard on all models; 3-speed automatic available on 4WD 2-doors, and 4-speed automatic optional on 4-door Sidekicks. A 1.8-liter engine arrived in 1996, for the Sidekick Sport.
