Powertrain Options and Availability
Honda's hybrid powertrain consists of a three-cylinder gasoline engine, along with an electric motor that provides extra propulsion power when needed. Only a manual transmission was available initially, but a clutchless CVT unit was added during the 2001 model year. With manual shift, the gasoline engine produced 73 horsepower and 91 pound-feet of torque, but the ratings dipped to 71 hp and 90 pound-feet with CVT.
