Powertrain Options and Availability
Regular Ions held a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine that produced 140 horsepower and worked with a standard five-speed manual gearbox. A five-speed automatic transmission could be installed on 2003-04 sedans, while coupes could have a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Saturn dropped the CVT and five-speed automatic after 2004, substituting a conventional four-speed automatic as the sole option. Introduced in 2004, the Red Line coupe got a supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 205 horsepower, offered only with manual shift. For 2006, a 170-hp 4-cyl engine is newly optional for Ion 3s.
