Powertrain Options and Availability
A dual-overhead-cam 130-horsepower, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine went beneath all Sportage hoods after 1996. Earlier 2WD models were equipped with a single-cam engine that produced only 94 horsepower. Either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 4-speed automatic transmission might be installed.
