Powertrain Options and Availability
A dual-overhead-cam 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine went under all Prelude hoods, producing 195 horsepower (190 with automatic). The horsepower rating later grew to 200. Base Preludes could have either a 5-speed manual transmission or 4-speed SportShift automatic, but only manual shift went into the SH model.
