Powertrain Options and Availability
Base engine was a 2.2-liter 4-cylinder, developing 120 horsepower. In 1995, a 2.3-liter Quad 4, with dual-overhead camshafts and a 150-horsepower rating, was standard in the GT and optional in the Sunfire SE. For 1996, a 2.4-liter Twin Cam 4-cylinder engine replaced the 2.3-liter four, with the same horsepower rating but five more pound-feet of torque. Any model might have the standard 5-speed manual transmission. A 3-speed automatic transmission was available for the base engine; 4-speed automatic for the dual-cam engine (or for both, after 1995). A 140-hp twincam 2.2-liter 4 cyl replaced a 150-hp 2.4 after the start of '02 production.
