Specific engine codes and displacements will vary by market and trim. Performance Typical Horsepower Range: Approximately 70 hp to 130 hp, depending on engine displacement and tuning. Typical Torque Range: Approximately 90 Nm to 160 Nm, depending on engine displacement. Fuel System Fuel Delivery Type: Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for most models within this range. Some earlier models might have carbureted variants in specific markets. Engine Mechanical Timing Drive: Timing belt drive for most engines, requiring periodic replacement. Cylinder Head Design: SOHC (Single Overhead Camshaft) or DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft) cylinder heads depending on engine variant. 🔧 Transmission Standard Manual Transmission: 5-speed manual transmission common on many models. Optional Automatic Transmission: 3-speed or 4-speed automatic transmission often available as an option. Features Drivetrain Layout: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive (FWD) is standard. Some performance or specific market variants might have offered all-wheel-drive (AWD). Fluid Specifications Manual Transmission Fluid: API GL-4 gear oil, typically SAE 75W-90 or SAE 80W-90. Check manual for specific viscosity grade and capacity. Automatic Transmission Fluid: Dexron-III or equivalent ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid). Check manual for specific type and capacity. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Body Styles Offered: 3-door hatchback, 5-door hatchback, 4-door sedan, and potentially a 2-door coupe (related Lancer platform). Weights Curb Weight Range: Approximately 900 kg to 1100 kg, depending on body style and equipment. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Test Information: Likely no standardized ratings like NHTSA or IIHS for all models/years from this era. Manual may detail passive safety features. Active Features Braking Systems: Front disc brakes standard. Rear brakes can be drum or disc depending on trim. Optional ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) available on higher trims or later models. Passive Features Restraint Systems: Seat belts (likely 3-point front and rear). Airbags were optional or standard on later models/higher trims, typically driver-side only. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Audio Systems: Factory-installed AM/FM radio with cassette player. CD players were optional or introduced later in the generation. Speaker configurations varied by trim. Driver Assistance ABS: Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was an optional feature on some trims, offering enhanced braking control during emergency stops.
