Powertrain Options and Availability

Suzuki's 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine initially produced 98 horsepower, which dropped to 95 by 1998. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard and 4-speed automatic optional; but starting in 1997, top-line GLX models came only with automatic. By 2000, Esteem could be equipped with a 1.8-liter dual-overhead-cam four, producing 122 horsepower, instead of the original 1.6-liter four.
